The International Institute of the Athonite Legacy in Ukraine (IIALU) ( Ukrainian: Міжнародний інститут афонської спадщини в Україні) is a Ukrainian non-profit organization for the study of the Christian Eastern Orthodox Athonite movement, centered in the monastic community of Mount Athos in Greece.
Founded in 2010, the IIALU membership includes academics, researchers and public figures of all nationalities who are interested in the study of Athos, its history and spiritual heritage.
The group was started in 2010 by Serhii Shumylo, an ecclesiastical history researcher.[ citation needed] In 2013, the group became an institute based in Kyiv with the blessing of the elders of Athos. [1]
IIALU comes under the aegis of the Academic Council of Ukrainian and Oversees Academics specialising in the history and heritage of Mount Athos. It has representatives in Greece, France, Italy, Russia, Poland and Bulgaria; it works closely with a number of Athonite monasteries, and in their libraries and archives.
IIALU researches documents in Ukrainian and Athonite archives to do with historical, spiritual and cultural ties between Ukraine and Athos. Its members attend international conferences and take part in awareness-raising projects.
IIALU Events organised with the support of the Institute of International Conferences the following events:
In 2013, to mark the millennium of Russian Athos, the Russian Athonite information and educational portal, was created with the sponsorship of IIALU.
At the initiative of IIALU, the Ukrainian Rada (P)arliament) drafted a resolution officially to celebrate the spiritual and cultural ties between Kievan Rus' and the Monastic Republic in 2016 (No. 4543 from 08.27.2014). [15]
From 2014, IIALU has been running a Transcarpathian branch, headed by Y. Danylets, for the study of spiritual and historical ties between Transcarpathia and Athos.
Sergey Shumilo was the first to unearth the abandoned Athonite Monidrion Chorny Vir, founded by Zaporozhian Cossacks in 1747. His findings have been published as a monograph. Shumilo has also published the little-known letters of St Paisy Velichkovsky to the last Ottoman of the Zaporozhian Host, Petro Kalnyshevsky. The work concludes with detailed biographies of the Athonite Elder John Vyshensky, Metropolitan Isaiah Kopynsky and others.
IILU publishes the journal Athonska Spadschyna (The Athonite Heritage) [16] [17] [18]
This is an anthology of articles on the history, and spiritual and cultural heritage of the Holy Mountain in Slavic and Kievan Rus'. The preface in the journal's first number is by Charles, Prince of Wales, Patron of the Friends of Mount Athos (UK and USA).
