Abstract
The article attempts to analyze the peculiarities of the origin and development of Ukrainian ethnogenesis in modern historiography. The study of ethnic problems as such in general and ethnogenesis as a component of ethnic processes in the domestic scientific literature occupies an important place. The study of ethnic processes in Ukraine became especially relevant after the country’s independence, which caused an urgent need to have, in particular, a real scientific and historical concept of the origin of Ukrainians. Currently, the study and analysis of this topic is extremely important, because thanks to the fruitful study and comprehensive analysis of the origin of the Ukrainian nation, the future generation will form a clearer understanding of the sources of Ukrainian ethnogenesis, traditions and customs, cultural identification, national traits, patriotism, representation of Ukrainian nation in the worlds’ historical and political arena, etc. It is worth to mention that the study of concepts of the origin of the Ukrainian nation is one of the most difficult discussions of today. After all, shortly after the formation of the first concepts of the ethnogenesis of Ukrainians, various historiographical generalizations of this problem began to form, which were built mainly in the form of criticism of representatives of various historiographical schools. They defended different, sometimes directly opposite, views on the origin of the Ukrainian people. After the proclamation of Independence in Ukraine, the need arose in society to search for historical sources of national identity. This led to the active emergence of new or popularization of existing ethnogenetic concepts. Most of them fall under the notion of quasi-scientific because of their doubts about the original sources and rather free interpretation of historical phenomena and events. The West and the East of Ukraine are characterized by a completely opposite attitude to the same events and historical figures. Public authorities need to pay close attention to the development of a national idea, the search for national symbols and leaders. The article revealed the problems of the Ukrainian ethnic border in the works of researchers, as well as analyzed the ethnic components of the formation of Ukrainian nation and culture.
