Abstract
In the article it was considered A. Sheptyckyy’s views on the process of state-building and the reasons of lack of the unity between Ukrainians from the historical perspective. The object under analysis are works “An ideal of national life” (another title ‘How to build the native house”, from the decree to priesthood, December 1941), pastor dispatch “Don’t kill” (November, 21 1942), decree Bishops’ Council “About unity” (June, 10, 1943), the letter to prof. Volodymyr Kubijovych about the tasks of patriotic education of youth of Ukrainian art school (1942, August 8, Lviv). The attention was paid on the conviction of A. Sheptyckyy that the problem of raising conflicts between Ukrainians is not in ideological, but in psychological plane – in disability of Ukrainian politics to get an agreement between themselves. A. Sheptyckyy condemned «narodovcy» who could not choose the common vector of the political events development and they argued with each other and created two parties which became opponents. Metropolitan Andrey emphasized on constant fragmentation of Ukrainian intelligence and this led to arguments, internecine war and to usurpation the authority by strangers in different epochs. Also he stressed on destructive politics of USSR towards Ukraine. Metropolitan Andrey was convinced of the fact that it was impossible to transform the state system without changing ethical and intellectual ways of life for most people. He created specific outlook model of happy society, the basis of which had to be Christian values, enduring family, different public organizations which goals were moral and intellectual development of the personality, finding personal fulfillment in society with the help of Evangelical commandments. The prerequisites for state creation, where the citizens felt themselves happy, on the point of view of A. Sheptyckyy were the common aspiration of the whole people and elimination of local or territorial separation. The strength of Ukrainian people, accordingly, was in conscientious public position of compatriots. The important place in the process of state-building A. Sheptyckyy devoted to a matter of education of young generation, intelligent citizens who would have necessary public and political knowledge and would be able to choose deserving authority during elections of public administration. They would be able to make a choice not accidentally but deliberately. In the work “An ideal of national life” A. Sheptyckyy speculated about elected system, its expediency in the realia of Ukraine of those days and also he emphasized on the right of citizens to choose state model by themselves, the state model which could be appropriate to mentality, outlook and traditions of the people. At the same time A. Sheptyckyy reminded that the government had to care of interests of the people, kept and defended the rights of the people, established the honest laws in a spirit of Christianity. A. Sheptyckyy paid attention on the necessity of Christian democracy because only this could provide peace in the country, prosperity and happiness of the citizens, but at the same time he condemned “demagoguery” (non-Christian democracy) which was based on socialistic ideas the results of which were captivity, destitution and ruin. Galician Metropolitan considered that one-party system was not appropriate for governmental system and national shauvinism he interpreted as a phenomenon which blinded the other people and did not get possibility to see the rights of the other citizens. He considered that the main basis of Native House-Motherland were national unity, language and will to state-building.
