It has remained the dominant religion in the country since its acceptance in 988 by Vladimir the Great , who brought it from Byzantine Crimea and instated it as the state religion of Kievan Rus' , a medieval East Slavic state and establishment of the Ruthenian Orthodox Church with metropolitan see in Kiev. Although separated into various Christian denominations, most Ukrainian Christians share a common faith based on the Eastern Christianity. This tradition is represented in Ukraine by the Byzantine Rite, the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches, which have been at various historic times closely aligned with Ukrainian national self-identity and Byzantine culture. Currently, three major Ukrainian Eastern Orthodox Churches coexist, and often compete, in the country: the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyivan Patriarchate, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church , and the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. Additionally, a significant body of Christians belong to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church of the Catholic Church, and a smaller number are in the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church.
