The creative activity of Mykhailo Mykhailovych Verbytsky, as one of the brightest representatives of the national elite of the period of the Ukrainian cultural revival of the XIX century, was traced. The importance of the social-cultural mission of the artist, a priest of the Greek Catholic Church, a public figure, the founder of professional music in Galicia and the founder of the national school of composition in Ukraine was emphasized. A representative of the artistic elite, the famous composer M. Verbytsky was a model of professionalism in music and, very importantly, a bearer of national and cultural ideas. The article raises the question of the significance of the creation of the anthem song "Ukraine is not dead yet": the words of P. Chubynsky, the music of M. Verbytsky. The famous musicial composition, the words and melody of which united more than one generation, united Ukrainians around the world, influenced the formation of identity and awakened national consciousness. Working on the creation of a majestic song, the authors realized that the songs-hymns encode political levers, which reveal the potential for democratic development of the nation and the consolidation of citizens. After Ukraine gained independence, the text of the anthem was approved, with simultaneous editing, and in March 2003, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the Law "On the National Anthem of Ukraine" to the music of V. Verbytsky, P. Chubynsky's words "Ukraine is not dead yet, and Glory, and Will "– is one of the most important state symbols. Emphasis is placed on the fact that M. Verbytsky is the author of music for the National Anthem of Ukraine and his life choice, active social activity and creative work carried out a social-cultural mission. The talented composer, spiritual mentor, patriot M. Verbytsky realized the value of what he was doing, worked selflessly and sacrificially, promoting the position of self-affirmation of Ukrainians as free and self-sufficient people.
The article analyzes the nation-building aspect of Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood (end of 1845 − beginning of 1847). The author believes that the members of the society made the first attempt in the modern Ukrainian history to move from cultural and educational activities to the national political struggle. ; У статті проаналізований націєтворчий аспект діяльності Кирило-Мефодіївського товариства (кінець 1845 – початок 1847 рр.).

In the article, based on the analysis of scientific research, the artistic and pedagogical narrative "Pedagogy of good" in the numerous speeches of the Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, professor, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine I. A. Ziaziun, the main concepts of the nation-building conception of the founder of pedagogical mastery, scientist-philosopher, esthete, teacher and psychologist are outlined in the context of the challenges and prospects for the implementation of the Concept «New Ukrainian School» (2016).It is determined that in the philosophical and pedagogical, philosophical and psychological studies of Ukrainian scientist the nation-building conception of pedagogical education is presented, in which the humanistic and axiological approaches to solving numerous educational and scientific issues are organically combined, and the core of national education is «pedagogy of good and human creation».Among the conceptions of the ideological concept of Ivan Ziaziun, a special place is occupied by the concepts of a person, a personality, a school, a student, and a teacher.

The most important of these is the lack of certain knowledge, personal qualities and abilities of the student, and the ability to apply competence in specific educational and life situations. I. Ziaziun also supported the following ideas: the child is not a clay from which it is possible to sculpt everything, it is an active person who percepts educational and nurturing influences desirable for him/her.Ivan Ziaziun proved that a modern teacher works in the format of independent creative searches based on the achievements of fundamental sciences and traditional methods. Their uniqueness lies in the axiological basis of the teacher's action, which is based on three psychological factors: intelligence – affection – will. ; У статті на основі аналізу наукових розвідок, художньо- педагогічного наративу «Педагогіка добра», численних виступів доктора філософських наук, професора, академіка НАПН України І.

The beginning of the modern nation-building is directly connected with imperial period of world history. Major continental empires - the Russian, Dual Monarchy Austro-Hungarian Ottoman - had different approaches in building their relations with representatives of "borderlands" in order to maximize their loyalty. However, these approaches failed as time went by and national movements were strengthening. The main result of WWI was destruction of the empires and creation of the first national states. In this article the author is trying to analyze the main reason for different results of the struggle for the creation of their own state by Poles and Ukrainians. ; Początki nowoczesnego tworzenia narodu są bezpośrednio związane z cesarskim okresem w historii świata. Wielkie kontynentalne imperia - Rosyjskie, Austro--Węgierskie, Osmańskie - próbowały różne sposoby, aby zbudować swoje stosunki z przedstawicielami "okolic" w celu maksymalizacji ich lojalności. Jednak te próby, jak pokazał czas i wzmocnienie ruchów narodowych, okazały się daremnymi. Głównymrezultatem I wojny światowej było ich niszczenie i stworzenie pierwszych państw narodowych. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą, aby dowiedzieć się, co było głównym powodem różnych wyników walki o utworzenie własnego państwa Polaków i Ukraińców. ; Початок модерного націотворення безпосередньо пов'язаний ізімперським періодом світової історії. Великі континентальні імперії – Російська, Австро-Угорська, Османська – намагалися по-різномувибудовувати свої стосунки з представниками «околиць» з метоюзабезпечення їхньої максимальної лояльності. Проте ці спроби, якпоказав час та посилення національних рухів, виявилися марними.Головним результатом Першої світової війни стала їх руйнація тастворення перших національних держав. В статті здійснюєтьсяспроба з'ясувати, у чому полягала головна причина різних результатівборотьби за створення власної держави поляками та українцями.
Досліджено праці В. Жаботинського, де викладається концепція єврейського національного будівництва. На прикладі поглядів лідера сіонізму в Україні виявлено кореляцію ідей, сформульованих єврейською та українською національними течіями доби модерну. Аналіз текстів В. Жаботинського свідчить про типологічну подібність проблемних питань, які порушують і намагаються вирішити ці рухи: буттєве значення національної ідентичності та факторів її формування; проблема національних маргіналів; важливість міжнаціонального порозуміння.

Foreign scholars have made a substantial contribution to the study of the Ukrainian National Movement, their works, however, for the most part remained unavailable in Ukraine until the early 1990s. The purpose of the article is to reveal the main achievements of foreign historians in the study of the formation of Ukrainian national and political consciousness in Galicia throughout the 19th – the beginning of the 20th centuries, which is traditionally covered in native historiography as the Age of National Revival. Among foreign researchers (German, Austrian, British, and others), Polish and Russian historiographers, as well as diaspora scholars, took the greatest interest in the Ukrainian National Movement. The distinctive feature of many publications is a manifold picture of historical writing, reflecting consideration of national and political preferences: from traditional positivist to modernist approaches. Diaspora historians of the older generation advocated primordialist approach, according to which the paramount goal of the Ukrainian historical process is the formation of the nation state. The works of Polish and Russian historians, who eschewed comparative studies of national problems, were characterized by excessive subjectivity, the attitude towards the Ukrainian National Movement remained explicitly critical up to the mid-20th century (in some works – up to now). In modern Western historiography, including diaspora studies, in line with current scientific theories of nation and nationalism, the Ukrainian National Movement is regarded in the light of the consolidation of national consciousness, cross-influenced by Austrophile, Polonophile, Russophile, and in fact Ukrainophile orientations. Among the publications of Western scholars of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the process of «national revival» (nation-building in the modern period) in Austrian Galicia is especially foregrounded in the works of Canadian scholars J.-P. Himka and P.-R. Magocsi, American scholar R. Szporluk, German and Austrian researchers A.-V. Wendland, A. Kappeler, M. Moser, and others. Their studies gave impetus to reconsider the political history of the land, in particular the National Movement in native post-Soviet historiographical literature. ; Среди иностранных исследователей (немецких, австрийских, британских и др.) наибольший интерес к украинскому национальному движению в подавстрийской Галиции ХIХ – начала ХХ вв. проявляла польская и российская историография, а также диаспорные историки. Характерной чертой многих работ есть разнообразная картина историописания: от традиционной позитивистской до модернистских подходов. В новейшей западной историографии в русле современных научных теорий наций и национализма украинское движение предстает сквозь призму формирования национально-политического сознания, что рассматривается в контексте перекрестного действия австрофильской, полонофильской, руссофильской и собственно украинофильской ориентаций ; Серед зарубіжних дослідників (німецьких, австрійських, британських та ін.) найбільший інтерес до українського національного руху в підавстрійській Галичині ХІХ – початку ХХ ст. виявляла польська і російська історіографія, а також діаспорні історики. Характерною рисою багатьох праць є багатоманітна картина історіописання, з урахуванням національних і політичних симпатій: від традиційної позитивістської до модерністських підходів. У новітній західній історіографії в руслі сучасних наукових теорій нації та націоналізму український рух постає крізь призму формування новочасної національно-політичної свідомості, що розглядається в контексті перехресної дії австрофільської, полонофільської, русофільської та власне українофільської орієнтацій.

У статті представлене дослідження впливу релігії на політику. На думку автора, Церква Христова здатна позитивно впливати на суспільно-політичні процеси та забезпечувати здорові взаємостосунки всередині суспільства. Дослідження більше зосереджене на українському контексті та окреслює завдання, які стоять перед Церквою після Революції Гідності. Автор стверджує, що для сучасної людини важливо наслідувати Ісуса Христа, що на початку передбачає любов до Бога, потім – до себе, з чого з'явиться результат – любов до ближнього. Згідно з цим принципом Церква не ставить за основу політичну боротьбу, однак вона не залишатиметься осторонь там, де панує несправедливість. ; The article presents a study of the influence of religion on politics. According to the author, the Church of Christ is able to positively influence socio-political processes and ensure healthy relationships within society. The study focuses primarily on the Ukrainian context and outlines the challenges facing the Church after the Revolution of Dignity. The author argues that it is important for contemporary man to imitate Jesus Christ, which first presupposes love of God, then - of yourself, which will result in love of neighbor. According to this principle, the Church does not posit political struggle as foundational, but it also will not stay aloof where injustice reigns.
