| Description | The infl uence of historical and political factors on the architecture of Ukraine was greatest on the architecture of religious buildings, namely Orthodox architecture. The main stages of impact on the Orthodox architecture of Ukraine are characterized and analyzed: the Kyivan Rus period (10th–13th centuries), the period of “Cossack Baroque” of the 17th–18th centuries, the forced ban on the national style and the imposition of Classicism-Empire style in the 19th century, and historicism of the 19th–early 20th centuries. It is argued that certain stylistic preferences are not accidental, and it is proven how historical and political factors infl uenced the morphology of forms. The most signifi cant historical periods of change were selected for analysis. Territorial boundaries of the study: the land of Kyivan Rus, the Hetmanate, and the territories that fell under the rule of the Russian Empire. |
