Abstract

The article presents the results of research into the origins of the legal regulation of the formation of the national scientific tradition during the Hetmanate of Pavel Skoropadskyi in 1918. The purpose of the article is to study the main achievements of the legal regulation of scientific activity of the Ukrainian State during the Hetmanate period of Pavel Skoropadskyi in 1918. General scientific and special methods were used in the research process. In particular, the method of analysis and synthesis, generalization and scientific abstraction, as well as historical and comparative analysis and forecasting. The information base of the research is the works of Ukrainian scientists, articles published in periodicals, archival materials, etc. As a result of the research, the following conclusions were formulated. The experience of the Ukrainian State of Pavel Skoropadskyi is proof of the real creative achievements of the Ukrainian state-building movement, the adaptation of which to today's existence of Ukraine is difficult to overestimate. It was during this period, with the approval by P. Skoropadsky on November 14, 1918, of the law "On the establishment of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kyiv", that the countdown to the formation of Ukrainian academic science began. It was with the formation of the National Academy of Sciences that science as a social institution in the Ukrainian State began to exist in the status of a legitimate legal entity with legally defined interests, rights and obligations. An important role in the creation of organizational forms of scientific associations was played by the attitude of the central government towards scientists, the desire to support them, as well as to direct scientific research in the right direction in the state. This was also noticeable at the level of higher school. The formation of Ukrainian higher education made it possible to lay the foundations for the integration of educational and scientific spaces in the conditions of the development of national statehood, the preservation and multiplication of the achievements of the Ukrainian intellectual environment for the benefit of the education of new generations of conscientious compatriots, the establishment of a regime of legality and law and order. A lthough, due to known historical circumstances, the mentioned state-building traditions in the field of science and education, personally laid by Hetman Pavel Skoropadsky, were essentially interrupted, the considerable successful experience gained in building the system of scientific and educational activities of the leagues became the basis for the development of a modern system of scientific and research activities, which still needs significant institutional and legal reform.
