On 30 September 2002, the first issue of the international newspaper “The Orthodox World” came out with the blessing of Metropolitan Volodymyr (Sabodan), head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP).
“The Telegraph,” a publishing and information group, together with the Union of Orthodox Youth, which acts under the auspices of the UOC-MP, started publishing “The Orthodox World,” which will be a monthly addition to the newspaper “The Kyivan Telegraph.” “We are happy that the secular press is returning to an ancient Orthodox tradition of our nation and bringing general Christian values to the contemporary reader,” said Metropolitan Volodymyr.
