The article analyzes the creative work of the historian of Ukrainian emigration I. Lysyak-Rudnytsky on the periodization of the history of Ukrainian statehood in the context of the most common approaches to the periodization of the history of statehood. The introduction of the article contains remarks on the existing problem of periodization of the history of statehood of any country, due to the presence of various factors that serve as criteria for the creation of periodization. Therefore, none of the proposed periodizations can fully satisfy the entire scientific community. The main part of the article contains an analysis of the main approaches to the periodization of the history of Ukrainian statehood, in particular: the formational approach, mainly used by scientists in Soviet Ukraine and the civilizational approach, which was first presented to Ukraine in the early XX century in the scientific works of M. Hrushevsky. In the course of this analysis, the definitions of such concepts as «formational approach» and «civilizational approach» in relation to the periodization of the history of statehood were analyzed. In addition, this analysis was accompanied by a study of the main works of scholars who studied the history of Ukrainian statehood in a particular approach. The whole analysis was performed with the use of remarks expressed in the work by I. Lysyak-Rudnytsky on these basic approaches, as well as opportunities for their elimination at the present stage of development of historical and legal science. At the end of the article, a conclusion is made about the relevance of the concept of periodization of the history of Ukrainian statehood proposed by scientist, as well as its significance in the light of recent events in the development of Ukrainian statehood.

The Conquest of Death considers the concepts of violence and state power far more broadly and holistically than previous accounts of state growth by intertwining the national and the local, the formal and the informal to illustrate how the management of incidental acts of violence and justice was as important to the monopolization of violence as the creation of the machinery of warfare. It reveals how the creation and operation of everyday bureaucracy built systems of power far exceeding its original intent and allowed a greater centralized surveillance of daily life than ever before. In sum, this book forces us to think about state formation not in terms of the broad strokes of legislative policy and international competition, but rather as a process built by multiple tiny actions, interactions and encroachments which fundamentally redefined the nature of the state and the relationship between government and governed. The Conquest of Death thus provides a new approach to the history of state formation, the history of criminal justice and the history of violence in early modern England. By locating the creation of an effective, permanent monopoly of violence in England in the second-half of the sixteenth century, this book also provides a new chronology of the divide between medieval and modern while divorcing the history of state growth from a linear history of centralization.

The article shows the methodological problems that face the history of state and law at the present stage of development of scientific rationality. As one of the possible answers to the challenges of new methodological approaches, it is proposed to use the historical and anthropological theory of law, which combines the best achievements of the German historical school of law with anthropocentrism as a direction of the post-classical sociological school of law. It is concluded that this theory is quite applicable for the reconstruction of legal life and identifying patterns of its historical dynamics.

The article examines the problem of recognition of new states in international law. The author considers the concept, sources, theories, criteria of the institution of recognition of new states. The author analyzes various theories of the Institute of recognition of states, taking into account the provisions of the international law doctrine and practice. The author notes that at the present stage of development of the institute of recognition we should be guided by the mixed theory of recognition as the most corresponding to international law, and by States’ practice. The author discloses criteria for the recognition of States enshrined in international legal acts. At the same time, the author singles out the criterion of the legality of new states’ emergence. The conclusion is that the creation of a new State as a subject of international law is legitimate, if its appearance corresponds to the fundamental principles of international law. The appearance of a new state must not violate the mandatory principles of international law jus cogens, otherwise, a territorial formation can not claim to be internationally recognized and must be considered from the point of view of international law as illegally created.

The relevance of the topic “constitutional and legal status of the Ukrainian people” is seen, first of all, in the fact that the understanding of the Ukrainian people of their essence, their political and legal status, in the context of awareness of their own legal personality, principles, powers, guarantees, that is, certain elements included in the content of the constitutional and legal status at the present stage of development and development of Ukraine as a democratic, social and Legal country, is very important, appropriate and, for the political, legal and other systems of any country, system-forming. It should also be noted that this issue, despite its fundamentality and scientific prospects, is not sufficiently doctrinairely studied by Ukrainian scientists. This is due to many determinants, of which two factors are the most obvious. First, the dominance of doctrinal approaches in Ukrainian legal science, which did not recognise the existence of the constitutional and legal status of the Ukrainian people as a whole. It was considered that only individuals and legal entities can be granted legal status. Secondly, Ukrainian scientists have traditionally preferred to study established institutions, primarily direct democracy, which are directly regulated in Chapter III of the Constitution of Ukraine, that is, elections and referendums. The aim is to clarify the methodological basis for studying the constitutional and legal status of the Ukrainian people. Based on the obtained conclusions and generalisations, a methodological basis for studying the constitutional and legal status of the Ukrainian people has been developed

This chapter attempts to define the concepts of myth and of mediatization in the context of building great historical narratives. Modern historical museums and narrative exhibitions are treated in the publication as new media whose main task is to communicate narratives about the past to mass audiences, using digital methods of recording, saving, storing data, as well as of creating and transmitting messages. The chapter describes a short history of the creation of the European Solidarity Centre in Gdańsk and the permanent exhibition. In the main part, the text also describes how the ECS (and the permanent exhibition located within) attempt to both present the myth of solidarity and to mediatize it.

The article introduces the content of a previously unknown document related to the history of Turkestan emigration in Egyptin the 40s of the twentieth century. We mean the Charter of Turkestan Charity Society (Turkestan Jamiyat-i Khayriyesi), created inCairo in 1944 by a group of eminent people from the Bolshevik Central Asia political refugees. The document is written in two languages: Arabic and Turkish. Not only the main part of the document is of particular interest, but it also makes it possible to identify the names of prominent representatives of theTurkestan emigrant community who participated in the creation of the society. The relevance of the proposed material is caused by the fact that the information about the very process of creation and its initiators is not available neither in domestic nor in foreign theses published recently on the history ofTurkestan emigration. In addition, the article reveals some fresh evidence about a group of people who were in close relationship with one of the brightest representatives ofTurkestan emigration, a Tatar theologian, Musa Bigiev (1875–1949). Here we mean HH Princess Khadija Abbas Hilmi (1879–1951), a representative of the Muhammad Ali dynasty, as well as Musa Bigiev’s students Yusuf Uralgiray (1915–1976) and Muhammad Turkistani (1904–1991).
