The Koliivshchyna Rebellion of 1764

Dr Matthew Raphael Johnson presents another edition of the Orthodox Nationalist, this time dealing with the Koliivshchyna rebellion, sometimes called the Haidamak revolt, which began in 1768. It’s spiritual foundation was the Abbot of the Motronynskyi (or Motroninsky) Monastery near Chyhyryn in western Ukraine, Abbot Melchizedek (Jaworski). In this powerful address, Dr. Johnson calls on the Orthodox world to canonize this man as a saint.
