Ruthenian Uniate Church

The Ruthenian Uniate Church (Latin: Ecclesia Ruthena unita; Polish: Ruski Kościół Unicki) is a historical church that existed in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth following the Union of Brest. Creation of the church led to high degree of confrontation among Ruthenians, such as the murder of Josaphat Kuntsevych. The Union of Brest that was also perceived as part of Catholisation and Polonization processes contributed to the Khmelnytsky Uprising.
