description The article is devoted to the historiographical analysis and generalization of achievements of representatives of the contemporary domestic historiography (1990-2020), taking into consideration the works of scholars of the diasporic historiography, who explored the life path and activity of Blessed Hieromartyr Klymentiy (Casimir) count Sheptytsky (1869-1951). It has been noted that studies of the biography of Klymentiy Sheptytsky, initiated by diasporic scholars, contributed to the elucidation mainly of church-religious activity, avoiding the early period of his biography, and Soviet historiography put mistaken ideological stamps regarding the “brother of the metropolitan”. The authors emphasize that the growth of scientific interest in the biography of Klymentiy Sheptytsky, stimulated by the revival of the UGCC structures in general and the Studite monasticism in particular, manifested itself in two directions: search and systematization of sources, formation of specialized archives, publication of new studies on the history of the Studites and the activity of their hegumen. Dividing the studies of contemporary domestic historians and theologians into two periods (in the 1990s and 2000s), the authors note that they were first related to the preparation for the Beatification of Klymentiy (2001), and then with the popularization and in-depth study of his heritage for use in the practice of memorialization and spiritual life of the Studites’ Order. Therefore, there is an increase in the number and differentiation of studies of the activities of Blessed Klymentiy in period from the time of his entry to the monastery until his exile and death. The formed imbalance in the coverage of his biography, which consisted in “ignoring” the early period and creating new “myths”, were resolved in the monographs of V. Chornopyska and I. Matkovskyi, in which his genealogy, all stages of the life path, socio-political and religious activities were described in detail.
