Abstract
The phenomenon of national inventivity is considered in the article. It is a complex of ideas and technological inventions that prove historical uniqueness or temporal innovation of Ukrainian nation among other national communities. The national inventivity demonstrates obviously national achievements of a certain nation and it stands out as a powerful generator of national pride and identity. Own typology of the objects of national inventivity and the correlation of each type with its popularity and spread in the mass consciousness are submitted. Because of the symbolic potential, manipulations with this category carries significant risks for use in propaganda, as it has been in the first half of the twentieth century, and is happening now in Russian aggressive autocracy. Certain exaggerations and ambiguous interpretations of the primacy or uniqueness of Ukrainian innovative ideas and inventions still occur not only in the media and social networks, but also in scientific published works. However, in order to claim adequately the entire inventive heritage on the world stage, Ukrainian society have to describe the contribution to the ideological and technological development truthfully and clearly.
