A political analysis of the Ukrainian state project is being carried out. The idea of state insufficiency of modern Ukraine stands out as the starting point. The analysis shows that for a quarter of a century Ukraine has not been able to overcome any of the crisis stages: identity, penetration, legality, participation and distribution, and in the strict sense has not acquired the obligatory signs of statehood. The authors trace the dynamics of the socioeconomic and humanitarianpolitical problems of an irreversible character or, otherwise, systemic degradation of the society. They point out to the shadowing of the economy, deindustrialization of the country, the demographic collapse, the crisis of the educational system, total corruption, formation of a carnival political culture and moral degradation.
