Abstract

The moral factors of the formation of the modern Ukrainian political nation are investigated. State policy is determined by the national interests of the entire society, ensuring the rights and freedoms of citizens. For the formation of a consolidated political nation, the following are important: statehood, democratic system, common interests, preservation of historical memory, establishment of social harmony, tolerance and consensus. The traced foundation of Ukrainian national unity is trust and humanity in relations. In traditional culture, relations between people were based on the principles of trust, responsibility, obligation, respect, goodness and justice, collective concern for one’s neighbor, and devotion to the native land. Foreign insult imposed a foreign matrix of behavior in Ukraine, the canons of which were treason and service to the authorities, deception, hatred of others and contempt for the weak, which significantly affected the completeness and content of the moral imperatives of Ukrainianism. Particular attention is paid to the categories of trust and betrayal: the first appears to be a tiresome source of growth of the unity of the nation, the second is its destroyer and a means of increasing the resource potential of the aggressors. Emphasis is placed on the functions of the main forms of moral imperatives — value and consolidation: in the first case, we are talking about integrating ties within the ethnic group and its subsystems, in the second — the synergy of interpersonal positive relationships based on trust, understanding and mutual assistance between moral subjects.
