Pastushyna V. The idea of the nationhood of Ukraine in the magazines «Surma» and «Rozbudova Natsiyi» (international context).

The research is dedicated to the idea of nationhood in «Surma» and «Rozbudova Natsiyi» – there are two journals that became a reflection of the Ukrainian national liberation movement in the interwar period. The research deals with the magazines «Surma» and «Rozbudova Natsiyi» as nationalist publications in the international light. Historiography about them is investigated, information about format and content is collected. The features of the structure and authors of journals, topical journals spectra, as well as genre and stylistic peculiarities. Comparative analysis and dialectical method of research helped to determine the complementarity of these journals. At first, the role of the «Surma» was mainly propaganda with a very tangible artistic component. «Rozbudova Natsiyi» was designed to organize training for the Congress of ukrainian nationalists. After 1929, «Surma» slowly took on the role of a military magazine. The international component of the journals is highlighted, in particular, the prerequisites for cooperation with the Ukrainian diaspora in the USA, which unfolded especially vividly after the murder of the school curator S. Sobinsky (the so-called «case of seventeen»). The lessons of gaining statehood on the basis of the liberation movements of other countries in the magazines «Surma» and «Rozbudova Natsiyi» (first of all on Ireland and Finland examples) are analyzed.
