The research analyzes the process and key milestones of the growing internal political crisis in the Republic of Cyprus during of Archbishop Makarios presidency. The role in this crisis of the multi-vector policy pursued by the first leader of the independent Cypriot state is noted. Attention is drawn to both the isolation of Cyprus during the years of his reign from the West, and the lack of assistance to the Cypriot authorities from the USSR, which relied in its policy towards Cyprus on the resources and influence of the Russian Church.
The research assumes that the Archbishop-President Makarios, during his leadership of the Republic of Cyprus, sought to pursue a multi—vector policy, balancing between various centers of power in the region, both global - the USSR and the West, and regional — Greece and Turkey. During the years of his rule, Cyprus refrained from actively participating in Euro—Atlantic structures, and at the same time could not establish closer relations with the USSR in comparison with the existing ones . This policy led in the medium term to the growth of internal contradictions in the republic, which were fueled by some external forces (the West, Greece, Turkey), while other diplomatic counterparts of Cyprus could not or did not want to assist the country in solving its internal problems. The uniqueness of the internal political situation in Cyprus in the era under study lies in the fact that the right-wing institutions, and in particular the church, became the conductor of the Soviet.
