The aim of this article is to determine the influence of vedic culture on the development of Ukrainian law. The paper utilises the elements comparative study of law, linguistics, and deductive methods. The vedic culture was rediscovered by Englishmen, when they conquered India. The colonialists discovered, that in this remote Asian country vedic culture was preserved and dominated local people. On the basis of sacred books – Vedas – the complicated system of law was developed. It was fixed in written form in so called Dharma-shastras or Dharma-shustras. The colonial administration had to study Indian law to fulfill its duties. But for European people it was hard to understand its key concept – dharma. Dharma is a very complicated concept, that demonstrates high level of philosophic and legal thought. The indian vedic priests affirmed, that Vedas contain the whole vedic law and can not be changed. That is why the legal custom and law doctrine developed in India. This peculiarity is common for Vedic law and Islamic law. Islam appeared thousands years after Vedas were written. One of the founders of Islamic Law descended from vedic culture. So the author makes the conclusion, that Islamic Law borrowed its concept of interpretation of sacred texts from vedic culture. In XIX century linguistical studies of European scientists revealed the unexpected proximity of Indian and European languages and cultures. So scientists invented the term "indo-european". But historical science ignored the results of linguistical studies and localized vedical culture only in India. Linguistical, archeological and written data show, that vedic culture, believes and law dominated on the territory of Ukraine for many thousands of years. Rus people (now called the Ukrainians) worshiped vedic gods and had their own Vedas. But Vedas were stolen by Ortodox Christian Church. This history is known thanks to "The Book of Veles", written by Rus (Ukrainian) vedic priests in IX century. Modern Ukrainian linguists show the parallels between sanscrit, hindi and Ukrainian words about state and law. In XIX century many monuments with inscriptions were found in Crimea, that revealed the vedic origins of Europe. Most of them were taken by Russians and Englishmen and now are kept in Russian and British museums. One of them directly indicates on usage of Dharma-shastras in Crimea in III century A.D. The Vedas is the most ancient source of Ukrainian law. It is the basis of its development.

This article is devoted to the study of human rights restrictions in Ukraine. The author states that there is an increasing tendency of human rights restriction in Ukraine. Both the state and private persons are the subjects of violation of human rights. In the legislative policy this tendency has increased since the parliamentary election in 2014. That year is known as the beginning of the in Ukraine. But most of the restrictions of human rights made by the laws of Ukraine (which violate the Constitution of Ukraine) since then have no relation to military activities and national security. The author identifies a number of tendencies: 1) recent amendments to Ukrainian legislation not only limit constitutional rights but also violate the principles of law and constitutional guarantees of human rights; 2) due to the usage of modern informational technologies, violations of the right to privacy are total; however, the law-enforcement agencies do not struggle with such violations systematically; 3) many constitutional human rights are violated by the laws devoted to family relations; those laws are being passed by the Parliament of Ukraine with the very high speed that is not quite usual for legislative process in Ukraine; 4) both the state and private persons use modern technologies to violate human rights; on the

basis of modern technologies new ways of violation of human rights appear. Conclusions. The restrictions of human rights, provided by the laws, always have some reasons. But neither political, nor economical, nor social nor any other interest can be the reason for violation of human rights and freedoms. "In spite of the fact that the air was never so full of theories of liberty and wild declarations of «rights», there has been a steady curtailment of «personal freedom»". These words of the great American Henry Ford are so relevant for modern Ukraine.
