EARLY MODERN (PREMODERN) UKRAINIAN IDENTITY AND THE FORMATION OF NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE XVII CENTURY

Abstract

The formation of Ukrainian identity is a long process of awareness of Ukrainian identity by its own identity with its history, past, language, faith, and traditions. One of its significant consequences is the transformation of the ethnic community into a political one, the beginning of the formation of the Ukrainian modern nation and Ukrainian state formation. The political self-determination of various European communities in history took place through the transformation of ethnic (cultural) nations into political ones. The formation of a political nation took place through the processes of political self-determination, through the transformation of the ethnic group into a political community and its participation in the processes of creation of the state. Necessary prerequisite for the emergence of a political nation is the development of national consciousness and the formation of national identity. Ukrainian national consciousness in early modern times was manifested, first of all, as an ethnic, confessional, and subsequently political self-identification at the level of opposing "their" and "strangers".
