“Recognition of Our Nation in All Its Various forms”: Russian Empire and Ukrainophilism in the 1820s–1840s

The article is devoted to the formation of the Ukrainophile ideology at the early stage of its development in the 1820-1840s. Various directions of Ukrainian social and scientific thought are considered. It is placed in the context of all-Russian discussions, as well as the state ideology of the time (the Uvarov triad). The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the Ukrainian issue took an important place in the Russian public consciousness owing to the disputes regarding «nationality» in the 1820s. The Ukrainian component was included in the all-Russian «nationality» as its integral part. One of its first champions, M.A. Maksimovich was directly involved in the formulation of the Uvarov triad. The multi-layer identity of the leaders of the Little Russian movement was widespread and included Ukrainian, Russian and Slavic components. The ideological basis of the «Cyril and Methodius Society» was the idea of Slavic reciprocity, closely connected with the Uvarov theory of «nationality»; Ukrainophilism was of secondary importance in this case. The «Ukrainian idea» was not considered as self-sufficient, therefore it is impossible to speak of «Ukrainian nationalism» during that period.
