Thanks to the monk Theodosius Horvat in the mid-1920s, Orthodoxy was restored in the villages of the upper reaches of the Tereblyanskaya Valley. The abbot himself was repressed by the Hungarian authorities in 1942 and executed in the Neustrelitz camp in 1944.

SUMMARY

The article sheds light on the epistolary heritage of Orthodox hieromonk Theodosius (Horvat). Through the work and pastoral activity of Fr. Theodosius of Orthodoxy established itself in the 1920s and 1930s in one of the largest villages of the Tereblyan valley, Synevyr. Theodosius (Horvath) was arrested by the Hungarian occupying power on Easter (April 5), 1942. He was shot dead by the Nazis in August 1944 at the Neustrelitz concentration camp. In the early 1990s, we discovered his personal archive, which has great historical value. His materials became the basis for writing several articles, speeches at conferences. The Protocol deserves special attention. The logbook of the input and output documentation, which was meticulously conducted by the priest during the years 1925-1933, allows to trace the contacts and the main essence of correspondence on the establishment of Orthodoxy in  Verkhovyna villages of Subcarpathian Rus. The document recorded correspondence with Athos, Jerusalem, Prague, the monasteries of the Subcarpathian Mountains, priests of the Tereblyan Valley.
