Abstract

The formulation of the problem. Petro Mohyla is one of the most famous religious, cultural and public figures of Ukraine, whose true greatness is marked in the history by the term "Mohyla's Period of Ukrainian History." He is a prominent theologian, educator, humanist, reformer, founder of the national cultural revival of Ukraine. The life of Kyiv Metropolitan Petro Mohyla for many people even today is extraordinary mystery. Complex and controversial was the fate of the church and prominent cultural figure that left considerable mark in the history and culture of Ukraine. The analysis of recent research. In historiography today there are several views on Mohyla, none of which can be considered neither complete nor objective as their political or narrow religious affiliation and tendency are too obvious. The conclusions. The figure of Petro Mohyla has never lost interest of his contemporaries and later historians as causing polar thoughts and opinions. But whatever traits or features of activities they stopped at they all agreed that it was a strong–willed, authoritative, hard head, called by his era and its customs. At the same time certainly they marked his skills of an experienced organizer, a good counselor, a wise mentor. His name is linked to deployment of higher and secondary education in Ukraine and Russia which was not simply copying Western schools, but could compete with them. He was the founder and creator of the first in Eastern Europe higher education institution — Kyiv–Mohyla College, which became the forerunner of Ukrainian Academy and the University of Kiev. ; Рассмотрены основные вехи жизни и деятельности Петра Могилы, установлены место и роль владыки в общественно-политической и культурно-религиозной жизни Украины, раскрыто значение Петра Могилы в популяризации образования среди украинского населения, выяснены особенности награждения педагогов нагрудным знаком «Петр Могила», в частности, преподавателей Приднепровской государственной академии строительства и архитектуры. ; Розглянуто основні віхи життя та діяльності Петра Могили, встановлено місце та роль владики у суспільно-політичному та культурно-релігійному житті України, розкрито значення Петра Могили у популяризації освіти серед українського населення, з'ясовано особливості нагородження освітян нагрудним знаком «Петро Могила», зокрема, викладачів Придніпровської державної академії будівництва та архітектури.
