Socio-economic Development and Evolution of Late Protestant Communities in Ukraine (before the Problem of the Correlative Relationship Problem)

Abstract

Globalization processes mean, among other things, the spread of trends that determine the socio-religious development of a region to other spatial areas. This does not happen with an inevitable necessity, it is not a ubiquitous feature of globalization, but it does happen with a very high probability. Moreover, when it comes to development within the same confessional systems. In this context, it is pertinent to note that some of the widespread forms of religious practices in Ukraine today, and moreover, religious structures, fifteen or twenty years ago, seemed to be exclusively Western. This is especially true of the large number of denominations, movements and movements that are Protestant in origin and are referred to as "evangelical" in English literature.
