УКРАЇНСЬКЕ НАЦІОНАЛЬНЕ ВІДРОДЖЕННЯ ХІХ СТОЛІТТЯ: ВАРІАНТИ ПРОЧИТАННЯ (до 90-річчя Феодосія Стеблія) Стеблій vs Сарбей

F. Steblii is a well-known researcher of the Ukrainian National Renaissance. Like V. Sarbei, he stood at the origins of the study of this phenomenon in independent Ukraine. If V. Sarbei followed the scheme of M. Hrushevskyi and singled out 7 periods in the development of the national movement, then F. Steblii adhered to the concept of M. Groch and distinguished 3 stages in the national renaissance (scientific, cultural, political). Also, the schemes of the national renaissance by such diaspora historians as R. Shporliuk, P. Magocsi, I. Lysiak-Rudnitskyi are considered. The article presents the socio-cultural concept of the Ukrainian national renaissance proposed by I. Kolesnyk. This scheme assumes such periods of the national movement as: the restoration, the romantic, the hromada-populist, national, and the period of national communism. The recent versions of the Ukrainian national renaissance are also analyzed. Some authors are skeptical about the Ukrainian national renaissance and consider the term obsolete. Others think traditionally, reduce and simplify this concept. Still, others are looking for new approaches. In the categories of global history, the national renaissance is interpreted as a cultural transfer of ideas, people, trends, ideologies, socio-political institutions, political movements. The term «Renaissance» itself belongs to the French historian J. Michelet. It becomes popular during the wave of European Romanticism of the first half of the 19th century during the awakening of nationalities, peoples, powers. This approach makes it possible to evaluate the Ukrainian national renaissance as a universal socio-cultural phenomenon and fit it into the global context.
