The article analyses activities of the Orthodox parishes located in the Radom Governorate of the Polish Kingdom in the XIX – beginning of the XX. The article outlines a hypothesis explaining why Orthodox churches were built in areas populated exclusively by Roman Catholic Poles and Jews. Parish activities were examined in their various aspects: what churches were built, when and why they were built, what priests served in parishes, what they did and what cemeteries existed at the parishes.
Keywords: Poland, parishes, priests, Radom Governorate, XIX century.
