The Native Ukrainian National Faith (Ukrainian: Рі́дна Украї́нська Націона́льна Ві́ра, Rídna Ukrayíns'ka Natsionál'na Víra; widely known by the acronym РУНВі́ра, RUNVira), also called Sylenkoism (Силенкоїзм) or Sylenkianism (Силенкіянство), and institutionally also known as the Church of Ukrainian Native Faith or Church of the Faithful of the Native Ukrainian National Faith,[2][α] is a branch of Rodnovery (Slavic Native Faith) specifically linked to the Ukrainians that was founded in the mid 1960s by Lev Sylenko (1921–2008) among the Ukrainian diaspora in North America,[5] and first introduced in Ukraine in 1991.[6] Sylenkoite communities are also present in Russia and Belarus, as well as in Western Europe and Oceania.[7] The doctrine of this tradition is codified into a sacred book composed by Sylenko himself, the Maha Vira ("Great Faith").[8] Sylenkoite theology is characterised by a solar monotheism.[9]
