CHARACTERS: NATIONAL TRADITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS IN ARTISTIC LITERATURE AND PSYCHOHISTORICAL CONTEXT

Abstract

Dramatic and tragic events of the latest era, in which Ukraine became central (it is about the resolution of hostilities by a neighboring intervener state on the territory of Ukraine), the active civil position of the educated popular majority led to the fact that Ukraine is changing the vector of development, restoring its European history and defending European values, deepening the European cultural context, which was falsified by the interventionist a long time ago, thus establishing itself as a democratic, European state.
A unique historical chance, a state-building revenge, as scientists call it, is connected with changes in all areas, which are automatically influenced by the historical and cultural plane. That is, the priority in each field is the national context of each phenomenon, its Europeanness (correspondence to European values), humanistic expediency and tolerant adequacy, which are not reduced to unprincipled reconciliation and loss of freedoms. National harte and vytyaztva, formed in specific traditions, in particular, and in artistic ones, often with accompanying rituals and ceremonies, grew into a cultural code and cult, refracted through the prism of artistic, in particular, literary experience.
The harshness in Ukraine reflected a kind of ideological conflict (currently between the interventionist aggressor and Ukraine), which is historical, has gone through several stages, has not ended and affects the spheres of life of Europeans, since Ukraine is part of Europe, the cultural space. In particular, it is about the influence on the traditions of understanding the fullness of being, preserving health, maintaining an active lifestyle, which is fully reflected in the literature of Ukraine of different times.
