The Influence of Colonial Policy on the Destruction of National Cultural Identity and Ways of Overcoming its Consequences

The article analyses the aspect of the influence of colonial policy on the destruction of national cultural identity, in particular, on the destruction of traditional religious objects. The problem is traced on the example of the colonisation of Algeria by France, which resulted in the purposeful destruction and reconstruction of historical mosques, on the example of the colonisation of Ukraine by the Russian Empire, which prohibited the construction of churches in the Ukrainian style, and later by the Soviet Union, and on the example of the modern Russian-Ukrainian war, when Russia deliberately destroys all religious buildings, even those subordinate to the Russian-backed Church. Religious buildings, as the legacy of a given nation’s material culture, should be placed under conservation, as they are treasure to all of humanity. Examples of such positive thinking do exist. The study is complemented by the photofixation of the destruction of temples during the Russian-Ukrainian war, taken directly in the combat zone. The purpose of the study is to analyse the negative effects of colonial policy on the preservation of the national identity of religious objects and to propose ways to overcome them.

Ukrainian Echoes in F. Chopin's Songs

The purpose of this study is to identify the Ukrainian-Lithuanian core of the Biedermeier lines of F. Chopin's heritage with a focus on his Songs, which objectively represented a significant component of the achievements of his compositional genius. The research methodology is based on the intonation approach of the Asafiev school in Ukraine and China, which focuses on the common genesis of human musical and speech culture and has been developed in the works of leading Ukrainian scholars, including those of D. Androsova, L. Horelik, O. Markova, O. Muravska, Chinese scholars Liu Binqiang, Ma Wei and many other specialists. The scientific novelty of the work is manifested in the originality of the perspective of cognition of F. Chopin's heritage in the organic reliance of the latter on Ukrainian and Lithuanian sources in the line of A. Mickiewicz's "Lithuanianness", as well as in the fact that for the first time a musicological analysis of the symbolism and semantics of the composer's songs, which he wrote from 1829 to 1847, that is, throughout his creative life, is presented. Conclusions. F. Chopin’s songs declare an essential aspect of the embodiment of the "thoughtfulness" (according to I. Belza) of Chopin's heritage, since they implement the highly artistic European "provincialism" that leads, through the discoveries of J. Lenz and M. Gogol, to verism as a powerful trend in European and world art. The Lithuanian-Ukrainian components of "Sarmatism", which nourished the creative discoveries of F. Chopin's entourage in the persons of A. Mickiewicz, S. Witwizki, B. Zalesski and other artists, promoted independent lines of the composer's artistic development. They differed from his Biedermeier performance and Mazurka culture, as well as from the romantic and protosymbolist achievements that dominate the composer's major forms. F. Chopin's songs constitute a line of creative searches, undervalued by both the author himself and art historians of pro-romantic inclination, which are in the direction of realistic and verist principles – the latter were, apparently, unexpected for the author himself, who did not dare to publish miniatures during his lifetime, which he wrote throughout his life. Key words: musical genre, Ukrainian style, nationality in music, song, F. Chopin's style.

Development of effective leadership in a cross-cultural space

The purpose of the article is to analyze the features of the formation of an effective personnel management mechanism based on the consideration of leadership theory with an emphasis on companies operating in a cross-cultural space. The initial thesis of the study was the statement about the multivariate nature of cultural spaces, which, based on the leading values, determine the behavior of their bearers. It was determined that the leading concept of personnel management, considering the cultural validity of leadership, is cross-cultural management. The practice and leadership styles were studied following the criteria of national characteristics. The critical cultural factors that determine the managerial aspects of enterprise activity are revealed, including power distance, the ratio of individualism and collectivism, masculinity and femininity, and attitude to uncertainty. It is recognized that they form the national style of leadership. The leadership styles are analyzed, namely autocratic, paternalistic, and democratic (participative). At the same time, emphasis is placed on the perception of the specified leadership styles by representatives of different national cultures. The deepening of the analysis was reflected in the determination and systematization of national leadership styles. British, American, German, French, Swedish, Romanian, Arab, Asian, and Ukrainian leadership styles are described. We propose to consider Romanesque and Arabic as two different styles, without combining them into one group, since they have several differences in cross-cultural characteristics. Also, the Ukrainian style of leadership, which became a symbiosis of the Soviet past, the significant influence of Western trends, and the peculiarities of the national culture of Ukraine, was added to the theoretical work of H. Levis. It was concluded that the cross-cultural approach to personnel management of the enterprise, which is formed based on cross-cultural management, becomes a new paradigm of personnel management, which integrates the main existing approaches in this field based on the priority of accounting for the national and cultural characteristics of the personnel of the enterprise to increase the level of team cohesion, creating a sense of belonging to the enterprise and its value system, which allows to increase the efficiency of the enterprise significantly. Keywords: leadership, leadership styles, cross-cultural management, national culture, national styles of leadership.

Under the influence of Western Europe, the single-frequency partes singing or partsong transformed to become a spiritual concerto in the Classical period. The influence of European Romanticism had a weak effect on Ukrainian music. Its elements can be traced only in the works by Ukrainian composers of the second half of the 19th century, such as S. Hulak-Artemovskyi, M. Lysenko, V. Matiuk, S. Vorobkevych, and A. Vakhnianyn, to name a few. Later, the Ukrainian music culture was enriched by compositions from B. Liatoshynskyi, A. Kos-Anatolskyi, S. Liudkevych, and A. Shtoharenko. The avant-garde music of the 1960s (L. Hrabovskyi, V. Khodziatskyi, V. Sylvestrov, and V. Zahortsev) stands out with its innovation. At the beginning of the 20th century, national music culture entered into a dialogue with the modernist discourse, leading to the emergence of Ukrainian Modernism.

V. Krychevsky and H. Narbut Legacy in Graphic Design of Ukrainian Diaspora from 1945–1989: Quotations and Paraphrases

Examples of quotations and paraphrases of V. Krychevsky and H. Narbut in graphic design of the Ukrainian diaspora from 1945–1989 are considered in this article. It has been found that these methods were connected with the belief in the “Ukrainian style” as a set of specific graphic elements and with the willingness to remind about the period of the Ukrainian State existence. Visual citations include reproductions of famous works, the use of selected fragments or motifs, while paraphrases demonstrate numerous individual interpretations. The above shows that the purpose of quotations and paraphrases in graphic design of the diaspora was to create new visual stories about the original source, so they did not hide, but in a peculiar way “remade” the well-known motives.

MUSEUMS IN THE UKRAINIAN NATIONAL MOVEMENT IN RUSSIAN-RULED UKRAINE IN THE LATE XIX AND EARLY XX CENTURY

The article examines the place and role of museum institutions in the legal, cultural activities of representatives of the Ukrainian national movement of the Russian Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The author considers that in the absence of Ukrainian state and Russian imperial policy, which denied the existence of a separate Ukrainian people, the official, authorized institutions enabled the representatives of the Ukrainian creative intelligentsia a legitimate way to spread the idea of ​​a "Ukrainian project" of nation-building. The author agrees that in promoting this project, Ukrainophiles actively used "invention of traditions" (by Eric Hobsbaum) - cultural practices of a ritual or symbolic nature that were intended to express community belonging and impart specific values ​​and behaviours. In particular: life, traditional Ukrainian clothing, a celebration of anniversaries of outstanding events or anniversaries significant for the Ukrainian movement of personalities, as well as the conscious application of Ukrainian architectural modernity (Ukrainian style) in the architecture and development of Ukrainian professional theatre. Museums as sources of information about the past of Ukrainians also fit into these practices. They were accessible to the general public and had great potential to influence the society of that time. Museum exhibitions provided ample opportunities to represent Ukrainian history and culture, and by their explicit or hidden intention, their founders had the potential to become Ukrainian national. The attempt to implement such museum projects is described in the article on the example of the activity of the Kyiv Art, Industrial and Scientific Museum and the Museum of Ukrainian Antiquities V.V. Tarnovsky at the Chernihiv Provincial Zemstvo. Analyzing both the permanent exhibitions and the exhibitions held (the First South Russian Exhibition of Handicrafts in 1906, the exhibition dedicated to the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Taras Shevchenko in 1911), the author proves that there were literally "hiding places" behind the facade of the imperial museums. National ones that could well serve to shape Ukrainian identity.
