ІВАН КРИП’ЯКЕВИЧ І БОРОТЬБА ЗА ПОДІЛ ЛЬВІВСЬКОГО УНІВЕРСИТЕТУ

The participation of I. Krypiakevych in the Ukrainian student movement in 1904 1910 is studied in the context of the struggle for the division of Lviv University. The activities of Ukrainian student organizations aimed at the creation of a national university in the multinational environment of Galicia as part of the Habsburg empire are analyzed. The mechanisms of organizing student demonstrations are considered, as well as their publishing initiative, in particular the magazine «Young Ukraine» in 1905 and 1910. Based on the biographical approach, it is traced how involvement in organized forms of the student movement and public speeches influenced the formation of the identity and scientific interests of I. Krypiakevych. It is noted that the beginning of the 20th century was marked by the transformation of the university business into a symbol of a broader struggle for national and cultural rights, as well as an arena for the formation of ideological guidelines for a new generation of Ukrainian intelligentsia. By tracing the discussions of students during the organization of demonstrations and their public speeches, it is argued that student activity combined elements of mobilizing society to become interested in political issues, popularizing and improving the level of education among the people, and creating a national community. Through the analysis of the strategies of student organizations and I. Krypiakevych’s participation in them, the socio-cultural conditions for the formation of his worldview are investigated. The student period of the scientist’s life is considered as the main stage of the formation of national and professional identity, in which scientific research and public activity were combined. It is argued that in a broader context this is part of the process of political socialization of Ukrainian youth of the early twentieth century, which led to the emergence of a generation of intellectuals capable of integrating scientific and educational work into socio national projects.
