Економічне питання у творчій спадщині Миколи Міхновського в контексті подолання російських історичних міфів

Based on the source material, the economic issue in the creative heritage of M. Mikhnovsky is analyzed in the context of overcoming Russian historical myths. The author found that M. Mikhnovsky convincingly substantiated the priority of national Ukrainian interests over narrow class interests, with an obligatory emphasis on the restoration of Ukrainian statehood, nationalization of land, creation of farming in Ukraine, etc. Attention is focused on the fact that in the UPP program documents the economic issue was developed at a sufficient level for that time. It is stated that M. Mikhnovsky had a strategic vision of improving the welfare and economic security of the Ukrainian working class. M. Mikhnovsky’s economic ideas, in particular regarding the nationalization of land and the creation of a powerful Ukrainian farming community (middle class), are quite productive and remain relevant. The article emphasized that in order to win the Russian-Ukrainian war and overcome political, economic, social, linguistic, ethnocultural and other difficulties, it is necessary to consistently and systematically refute numerous Russian historical myths, including the insinuations of rascysts about the creation of Ukrainian statehood by V. Lenin, since it existed long before him. It is proven that M. Mikhnovsky at the beginning of the 20th century actualized Ukrainian state-building, nation-building and ethno-cultural processes, and his works, especially «Independent Ukraine», became guiding signs for Ukrainian patriots-nationalists in the creation of the UICS.

The author emphasized that during the Russian-Ukrainian war, the sustainable development of Ukraine, its national economy, and the debunking of Russian historical mythmaking were significant factors in the victory over rascysm and rascysts, therefore these issues require further comprehensive scientific study.
