Discusses the future of Ukrainian nationalism, taking a constructivist (ie, identity as created & subject to environmental conditions) view. First, a model is constructed that successfully explains changes in nationalist ideas & Ukrainian history. Political, religious, economic, & cultural factors of nationalist feeling in Ukraine are discussed. Nationalist movements are seen as composed of such elements as myth, symbols, & communication. Focus here is on myth, emphasizing how it can influence national & individual action & a form national identity. For Ukrainians, the Cossack myth is an example: along with memories of Soviet & German atrocities, it supports the need for military security. The concept of sobornist' (union) is also important in holding the Ukrainian nation together. Schisms in the religious community are viewed as harmful to national unity. It is concluded that the Cossack myth, nostalgia for rural areas & the peasantry, military services, &, most of all, the goal of a democratic civil society in current boundaries can all help to cement Ukrainian national identity.

Abstract
This article presents main analytic problems that Victor Polishchuk tackles in his book Ideologia nacjonalizmu ukraińskiego [The Ideology of Ukrainian Nationalism]. Key features of integral Ukrainian nationalism in Dontsov's version have been presented here on the background of the nationalisms of two neighbouring countries, Germany and Poland, in order to identify the similarities and differences between them in the realm of axiological systems.
