TheEparchy of Volodymyr–Brest (Latin:Vladimirensis–Brestensis Rutenorum, also known as Volodymyr–Brėst of the Ukrainian) was aneparchy (equivalent to adiocese in theLatin Rite) of theRuthenian Uniate Church from 1596 until 1795. It was situated in thePolish–Lithuanian Commonwealth between the riversBug andStyr on territory that is today located in parts of the modern states ofUkraine andBelarus. The eparchy was asuffragan of theMetropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Ruthenia.
It was established in 1596. Following thepartitions of Poland, the territory of the eparchy was absorbed by theTsardom of Russia. Consequently, in 1795 the eparchy was suppressed and the incumbent ordinary — Simeon Młocki — was obliged to resign. It was partially reestablished in 1798 when theEparchy of Brest was erected on 12 October 1798;Josaphat Bulhak was appointed as the first eparch.[1] This diocese too was suppressed thirty years later on 4 May 1828.
