Abstract

The Armed Forces of Ukraine today are becoming a part of European and world miliary culture, irrevocably getting rid of any Soviet stereotypes in their appearance. A significant part of Ukrainian scientists devote their works to the study of the implementation of national traditions in the symbols, emblems and insignia of uniforms. At the same time, there is a certain lack of attention to the coverage of the design and design of a military suit, which reduces the overall scientific value of research.At this stage of the transition of the Ukrainian army to NATO standards, a careful analysis is needed of how the process of forming a new type of national army was carried out during independence, how the Revolution of Dignity and the war in the East of Ukraine influenced this, and what needs to be done for the evolutionary finale of creating an original image of a modernized army independent Ukraine.This approach determined the main research methods − monitoring, comparative method, classification method, method of interaction and development, which require that all phenomena that are considered should be illuminated, taking into account the diversity of connections and in dynamics.The search for historical analogies and sources revealed the fact that during the period of the struggle for independence in 1917−1921, unique and perfect samples of the Ukrainian military suit with purely national features were created. These creative developments 100 years later, already in our time, were in demand and became the subject of rethinking and the basic basis for the transformation of the cultural achievements of the past into the modern uniform of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.Research has shown a deep historical, cultural and mental connection between times and generations. This was manifested in the fact that in the 21st century, the formation of its own national uniform, as well as a century ago, took place in conditions of war, in a difficult struggle to eradicate the imperial heritage. This work intensified during the period of hostilities in the Donbass. The current Ukrainian military suit embodied the synthesis of national Ukrainian traditions and the achievements of the advanced armies of the North Atlantic Alliance. Thanks to this, its individual elements, details, symbols, markers, accessories not only resemble the uniforms of military formations of various periods of the struggle for independence, but, at the same time, position the Ukrainian Armed Forces as part of the forces of NATO and the world community.
