A documentary project about the split of the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches. The authors try to understand the reasons behind this split.

How did the development of the two states, political, religious and cultural processes affect the events in the church life of Russia and Ukraine? Why do these events have their roots in the XV-XVII centuries? How appropriate are the parallels between the current schism and the Thirty Years' War? What role in this party was and is played by Poland, the Vatican, the Phanar, the collective West led by the United States?

The movie tries to answer these and other questions.
