Abstract
In the light of the current events in Ukraine it appears logical to consider the concept of trust. It has always been and still functions as a cement of human cooperation. Influencing various aspects of interpersonal relations, including interpersonal, intergroup, and individual ones, it illustrates the state of the political, economic and professional ability to maintain social connections. Trust makes the basis for problem solving and is characterized with constructive correlation. Thus, it is seen as the factor of transformation of the state’s social status on its way to become democratic and transparent. Without exaggeration, it is trust that forms the ground for the majority of social processes. On the other hand, the issue of trust becomes scrutinized with special precision in the difficult or crisis periods of the country’s development. Apparently, the change in values, stereotypes, and heuristics is followed by the modification of the human ability to trust, which in this context symbolizes one’s certainty of a particular object or thing being positive in its nature. The light is shed on the issue of trust in Ukraine as nowadays it is characterized by the difficult political, economic, and social situation.
