Kyiv—The celebration of the 900th anniversary of St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery in Kyiv is to start on 11 July with the opening of a national sobor (council) of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyivan Patriarchate (UOC-KP). At a press conference on 9 July 2008, the head of the UOC-KP, Patriarch Filaret (Denysenko), stressed that during the sobor an “amendment will be made to the notion of ‘Rus.’” Patriarch Filaret said that “we should finally dot all the ‘i’s on what ‘Rus’ is, where it was situated, where it is and what it is.”
