Traditional Christian currents in the process of the newest national creation of Ukrainians

Abstract

With the revival of Ukrainian statehood and the unfolding of the process of state formation, the problem of national identity of the citizens of Ukraine became especially urgent, because it is the main cementing element in the foundation of the new state-national formation. In view of this, it is important for Ukrainians to determine the level of significance of certain components of national identity. Therefore, in our article we will try to give a scientific assessment of the place and role of traditional Christian trends - Orthodoxy and Greek Catholicism - in the process of the newest Ukrainian national creation.
