The following general-historical methods have been used: historiographical analysis, historical-genetic and comparative. The author adhere to the civilizational approach and principles of cultural and intellectual history. The scientific novelty lies in the basis of the Ukrainian historiographical process analysis, certain gaps that exist in historical science and possible ways of their filling have been outlined. Conclusions. Modern Ukrainian academic science is very weak in the research and publications of historical sources, including chronicles and annals. The absence of scientific publications of a number of works, primarily Polish chroniclers, creates an unfortunate situation for modern Ukrainian historical science. As a consequence of this situation with the sources and their interpretation in scientific historical works, we can state the presence of a fairly significant mythologization of historical information, especially at everyday level. A progressive way out of it can be considered only a more intense introduction to circulation of the Ukrainian historical science of a wide range of sources, including the author's origin.
