For a long time Oleksandr Drabynko was a personal secretary of Volodymyr Sabodan.[1] According to Metropolitan Jonathan Yeletskykh, “being the personal secretary of His Beatitude Volodymyr, he practically ruled the entire UOC and even shaped the course of the UOC. And especially in the last three years of the life of the seriously ill Primate of the UOC".[2]
Metropolitan Oleksandr Drabynko was born Oleksandr Mykolayovych Drabynko in Korets, Rivne Oblast on 18 March 1977 in family of government officials.[1] He graduated the Moscow Theological Seminary and later the Kyiv Theological Academy in 2002 becoming a candidate of theology for his dissertation "Eastern Orthodoxy in post-totalitarian Ukraine (milestones of history)" (see "Works section").
