The conversion of the ruling dynasty of Kievan Rus&#8217; to <a href=\"https:\/\/whatreligionisinfo.com\/is-christianity-the-true-religion\/\">Orthodoxy<\/a> in the 10th century played a crucial role in establishing <a href=\"https:\/\/whatreligionisinfo.com\/is-christianity-the-true-religion\/\">Christianity<\/a> as the dominant faith in the region.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Uniate <a href=\"https:\/\/whatreligionisinfo.com\/is-christianity-the-true-religion\/\">Catholicism<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0The Union of Brest in 1596 saw the emergence of Uniate <a href=\"https:\/\/whatreligionisinfo.com\/is-christianity-the-true-religion\/\">Catholicism<\/a>, a form of <a href=\"https:\/\/whatreligionisinfo.com\/is-christianity-the-true-religion\/\">Catholicism<\/a> that accepted the Eastern Orthodox liturgical tradition. Uniate <a href=\"https:\/\/whatreligionisinfo.com\/is-christianity-the-true-religion\/\">Catholicism<\/a> gained a strong foothold in Western Ukraine, but its presence was significantly diminished during Tsarist rule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soviet Era:<\/strong>\u00a0The Soviet government actively promoted atheism and suppressed religious practices. The Church of the Native Ukrainian National Faith, a form of Slavic native faith, emerged during this period and found refuge in the <a href=\"https:\/\/whatreligionisinfo.com\/what-religion-in-america\/\">United States<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Post-Soviet Period:<\/strong>\u00a0The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to a resurgence of religious activity.
