National history is the core of the formation of national consciousness, the strength of which determines the viability of the nation. The birth of the national history subject is one of its key problems, without whose solution the successful building of a modern Ukrainian nation is impossible. In addition to the three main versions of the origin of Ukrainians (Trypillia, early mediaeval, and late mediaeval), some Ukrainian researchers propose the so-called Kyivan Rus concept of Ukrainian genesis.The article presents a critical analysis of the Kyivan Rus concept of the birth of the Ukrainian nation. Vasyl Balushok, who has published two monographs touching the issue of the ethnogenesis of Ukrainians, is its most active supporter among modern domestic researchers. In them, the researcher examines in detail the main aspects of the Kyivan Rus version of the origin of Ukrainians. Therefore, the basis of the article is the analysis of two of his monographic studies, which provide a fairly complete picture of the current state of the problem of the Ukrainian ethnic group origin from Kyivan Rus.Balushok believes that the formation of the Ukrainian ethnos took place in Rus state and ended at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. The main shortcoming of V. Balushok's version of Ukrainaian genesis is the researcher's failure to recognise the first, tribal phase of the formation of Ruthenians-Ukrainians. It covers the entire early Middle Ages from the end of the 5th to the 10th centuries, when the Ukrainian ethnos consisted of related proto-Ukrainian tribes: Antes, Sklavens, Dulebs, Polans, Drevlians, Volhynians, Ulychis, Tivertsi, Croats. The latter consolidated into an aristocratic nation of Ruthenians-Ukrainians in the state of Rus during the 10th–13th centuries.The ethnogenesis of Ukrainians took place within the framework of the universal laws of the ethnohistorical development of the peoples of the middle part of Europe: Englishmen, Spaniards, Frenchmen, Romanians, Czechs, Poles, Serbs, Croats, Ruthenians-Ukrainians, etc. All of them went through three main phases of development: 1. The tribal period of the early Middle Ages (5th–9th centuries); 2. Aristocratic nations of the developed and late Middle Ages (10th–16th centuries); 3. Modern nations of the new and modern times (17th–21st centuries). V. Balushok's non-recognition of the tribal phase of Ukrainian genesis contradicts the specified universal laws of the development of the great ethnic groups of Europe.

The purpose of the publication is to highlight the process of performing religious rites in the Pereyaslav Zemstvo Hospital, the Pereyaslav County Almshouse, and the Pereyaslav Prison Castle in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries in the context of the development of the Zemstvo self-government in Ukraine and the consequences of the social and economic reforms of the imperial era. The relevance of the research was determined by the lack of complex scientific works devoted to this problem. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time this topic has become the object of an independent, comprehensive study. Interest in the performance of religious rites in the Zemstvo institutions of the city of Pereyaslava is caused by their role in the legislative and religious spheres. The importance of the problem and its poor study determine the relevance of the research. The main source for him were the materials of the resolutions and reports of the Pereyaslav district zemstvo assemblies for the period of the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. The methodological basis of the work is the combined application of general scientific principles of historicism, objectivity, and systematicity. The information introduced into scientific circulation is important for deepening further research into the history of everyday life of the population of Pereyaslav and Pereyaslav District. It was revealed that on the basis of the provisions of the Zemstvo reforms of the 60s of the 18th century and according to the church charter, clergymen of the parishes of the city of Pereyaslav and the county were obliged to perform a wide variety of religious rites for the faithful, including the performance of religious rites (confession, communion, repentance, anointing, synod, etc.) at Pereyaslav Zemstvo Hospital, Pereyaslav County Almshouse, Pereyaslav Prison Castle. It was established that for the sick and dying, this procedure ("sacrament of healing the soul and body") had great moral power, as it gave spiritual healing, even if physical recovery did not accompany it. It is shown that for single and poor patients of the Pereyaslav Zemstvo Hospital, the performance of the Holy Sacraments was free of charge.

The article examines the main philosophical and theoretical problems of genocide in their dimensions as Ukrainian studies. In the era of global information and hybrid wars, the true meaning of many classic terms and ethnological concepts can be to a large extent distorted. Information about certain phenomena may be unavailable or misinterpreted by the world community, so there is an urgent need for their clarification and normalisation. The war crimes of the russian federation in Ukraine were recognised as genocide by seven countries, which is a very small number, and it is necessary to convey to the international community the importance of condemning these crimes on a global scale. The concept of genocide was introduced into legal practise and is most widely used in this field. However, we have certain "white spots" with ethnological, philosophical -theoretical, and Ukrainian studies definitions of concepts related to genocide, such as "ethnocide", "linguicide", especially "deicide", which is explained in this article for the first time. The destruction of national memory has been necessary for invaders at all times. The attention of Ukrainian scholars has already been focused on the fact that during the first pogrom (massacre) of Kyiv in 1169 by the Suzdal prince Andrey Bogolyubsky, the aggressors showed terrible signs of sadism against the people of Kyiv. For the first time, this showed the ethnic difference of the “Zalissia” Suzdalians from the Kyivan-Ruthenians, their antagonistic nature, which becomes clear in the context of the existential struggle of two separate nations. Further events of forced coexistence in one state of two nations, one of which did not lose its identity despite all the genocides, ruins, and calamities, were caused by imperial terror. They showed that Ukrainians have not learned the lessons of history, no conclusions have been drawn, and no state strategy for overcoming the Russian-imperial legacy has been developed. Attention was drawn to the fact that all phenomena of ethno-national conflict are important and should be targeted at overcoming the consequences of genocide in all its forms in the future.

The article examines the geopolitical orientations of Ukraine in the context of modern challenges, in particular full-scale aggression by Russia. In particular, it is noted. that in the conditions of intensification of modern challenges and in particular military aggression against Ukraine, the geopolitical role of the USA as a world leader has significantly strengthened. Today, the European Union, whose countries also actively help Ukraine, is strengthening its role in the world. However, there are certain contradictions within the European Union. Thus, the countries of Eastern Europe and the Baltic States are very actively helping Ukraine, because they understand that if Ukraine falls under the blows of Russia, then they will be next. But the countries of Western Europe, in particular Germany and France, although they help Ukraine, are in favor of negotiations with Russia, believing that Putin needs to save face, although how can we talk about certain negotiations when the Kremlin leader destroys tens of thousands of the civilian population of Ukraine. Therefore, today even Germany and France are gradually changing their rhetoric, providing Ukraine with all the necessary weapons to defeat the Russian aggressor. As for the countries of the Global South, most of them take a neutral position, trying not to intervene in the conflict. However, international support for Ukraine is gradually increasing, as even the countries of the global South are gradually realizing that it is not worth supporting the aggressor country - Russia, which is gradually turning into a geopolitical pariah.

The course of Ukrainization of the inhabitants of Western Polissia (the north of modern Volyn and Rivne regions, as well as the south of Brest region) is analyzed. The main stages of this process are highlighted. The first is the Liberation War of 1917–1921, the second is the interwar period, the third is from the beginning of World War II to the creation of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). It was clarified that the majority of local Orthodox priests had moskvophilic views and were hostile to Ukrainization. They were wary of revolutionary changes and tried to conserve within themselves the remnants of the ideology of the no longer existing Russian Empire. However, some local Orthodox priests supported Ukrainization and helped to build the OUN network. From 1942 to 1944, the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC) played an important role in this process. It established close cooperation with the OUN in the means of promotional work and managed to take hold in the region. In particular, UAOC priests carried out the Ukrainization of worship and built their own church network. Often in their sermons, they glorified the struggle of the OUN and honoured the heroes who died for an Independent Ukraine. In return, the OUN tried to support pro-Ukrainian priests, primarily through protection and authority. Pressure was exerted on the actively moskvophilic clergy (threats, beatings, and, in exceptional cases, executions). The specified active position managed to change the situation. On the large territory, nationally conscious priests and Ounivites managed to Ukrainianize the population. It was the foundation on which in the fall of 1942, the first units of the UPA were created on the territory of Western Polissia by Ostap Kachynskyi («Samson»), who was a military officer of the OUN Regional Directorate. On the contrary, the moskvophile clergy controlled the territories which were not supervised by the OUN underground. Under its influence, the local population lost its national identity and became part of the Belarusian people.

The study is dedicated to identifying the grounds and factors for the establishment of democracy in post-Soviet Ukraine. The objective grounds for establishing democratic values include national traditions, the territorial and spiritual unity of Ukrainians, and developed a civil society. Taken together, they create the basis for the formation of the main foundations of a consolidated democracy in Ukraine. The main challenges and threats to democracy in Ukraine are related to the functioning of the artefacts of a totalitarian society in the spheres of management, economy, culture, ideology, and, at the current stage, the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.Internal threats include the existence of confrontational dividing lines in society (regional opposition, shadow economy, corruption schemes, social injustice, confessional confrontation, resisting the establishment of the state language, etc.). The main external threats are the interference of the Russian Federation in the sovereign rights of Ukraine to implement its own development strategy.The guarantee of building a consolidated democracy in Ukraine is the collective will of the society itself, which performs a dual creative function: on the one hand, it acts as an initiator and donor of positive democratic changes in the country, on the other, it performs the functions of public control over the activities of all branches of government in their observance of the constitutional principles of state life. The fundamental result of the consolidated efforts of the authorities and civil society is Ukraine's legislatively supported integration course.
