Abstract
The ideas of Metropolitan Andrey about the restoration of Ukrainian statehood were considered in the article. A. Sheptytskyy accented on European values, opposed them to Russian mentality, emphasized the need to restore the model of the Cossack state. In 1914, he proposed his own project of structuring the Ukrainian state in the "Memorandum to the Government of Austria". According to him, the military organization in Ukraine should be based on the traditions of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, and the leader of the new Ukrainian army and state after the complete victory over Russia should be the Hetman appointed by the Austrian Kaiser, the Austrian Civil Code should be introduced, the separation of the Ukrainian Church from Russia should occur. According to A. Sheptytskyy, a strong Ukrainian state, which would oppose Russia at cultural, linguistic, mental and historical levels, could be Austria's reliable ally. A. Sheptytskyy emphasized the need to recognize the Ukrainian people as separate and independent from the Great Russian people in the Common Pastoral Epistle to the clergy and the faithful on the tasks of the Church and people in the postwar period (dated February 21, 1918). A. Sheptytskyy spoke in the Austrian House of Lords (Herrenhaus) with an assessment of the Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty and approved the accession of the Kholmshchyna to the UPR as a fully correct and motivated by historical development decision, stressing that all Ukrainians consider Kholmshchina as their own Ukrainian territory since the times of Kievan Rus. In 1918, Metropolitan Andrew blessed the formation of the Western Ukrainian People's Republic. A. Sheptytskyy defended the aspiration of Ukrainians to create their own sovereign state and stressed that the future of the state-owned association of Ukrainians should be non-denominational. That is why the ultimate goal of the process of domestic state-building must be the achievement of political and religious unity. Metropolitan Andrey considered the formation of a strong Ukrainian state based on the monoliths of the nation and the principles of religious unity and social solidarity as one of the most important tasks facing educated and conscious citizens. The task of the Church is to become the main driving force for successful national unity and domestic state building. The Metropolitan believed that church-religious activity was based, first of all, on the possibilities of educative and educational influence on citizens. A. Sheptytskyy called the primary obligation of any state to ensure a high level of well-being of citizens. Therefore, the priority in the field of state policy should be the social and religious sphere, with the emphasis on raising the spiritual and material level of the people. But the ultimate high level of state-political life can only be achieved if there is a parity relationship between the state and the church and its organizations.
