- Abstract
The purpose of the article is to identify and present the process of developing basic strategies for the formation of the image of an integral Ukrainian national history in the early twentieth century in the works of professional scientists. The use of methods of historiographic analysis and synthesis, along with the comparative method, made it possible to substantiate the scientific and social relevance of the study and achieve the goals set. The main results of the work were the identification of external and internal prerequisites for the nationalization of Ukrainian historical writing in relation to historical science; determination of the repertoire of basic texts in which the construction of the national Ukrainian historical narrative began; the analysis of the genesis of strategies for the formation of a «long» Ukrainian history in the works of the classics of national historiography, who were the first to dare to accumulate regional histories of the imperial historiographic space into a new historiographic hierarchy; the comparison and analysis of the scientific approaches, © Oleh Zhurba, Tetiana Lytvynova, 2022 concepts and stylistic features of «big Ukrainian history» by M.S. Hrushevskyi, A.Ya. Yefymenko and M.M. Arkas. The scientific novelty is determined by the fact that the first popular national narratives are considered in a comparative perspective as the basic options for current competitive strategies for representing the Ukrainian past. The conclusions point out that the causes and prerequisites for the nationalization of Ukrainian history were the social and political modernization of society in the second half of the 19th century, the politicization of social movements that demanded their historical legitimation, the growth of literacy among the general population, and their active involvement in social and political processes. The historiographic prerequisites were the formation of a corporation of professional historians and its various institutions, the accumulation of a significant array of professional historical information, the creation of regional histories of ethnic Ukrainian territories in the middle of the 19th century. Using the typology of interaction between historical writing and historical memory proposed by A. Mehill, it is determined that the popular texts of M.S. Hrushevskyi and M.M. Arkas vividly represent its affirmative and didactic segments, which oriented historiography towards the projects which agitated the society of that time and, with the help of historiography, constructed the historical memory desired at the certain moment. Unlike her competitors, the work of A.Ya. Yefymenko turned out to be close to analytical historiography, separating itself from historical memory and opposing itself to it as a critical text, the author of which tried not only to understand the complexities and contradictions of the historical process, but also to bring the public closer to a professional understanding of history; it is stated that the strategies for constructing an integral and continuous Ukrainian history formed at the beginning of the twentieth century, despite all attempts to modernize them, still remain in the arsenal of modern historical science. Type of article: analytical.
