Abstract:

In the article, the author examines the transformational changes in the Ukrainian socio-cultural space of the end of the ХХ-th – the first half of the ХХІ-st century.

The ХХІ-st century is characterized by great transformations not only in the economic and social context, but also in the sphere of cultural life, which is intensively developing in various directions.

The author notes that Ukraine is currently experiencing a nation-state revival and the introduction of democratic values in conditions that are difficult and contradictory due to the instability and revolutionary nature of many sociopolitical and socio-economic processes that began in the 1990s and as a result of this , even to this day, the worldview and value orientations that regulate human behavior and relationships, which has a significant impact on the sociocultural situation in Ukraine, remain undefined.

Global social changes, if they are systemic and related to the establishment of a new social order, are always accompanied by cultural transformations and characterized as a «reevaluation of all values». The situation became much more complicated due to the annexation of Crimea by Russia, the hybrid war in Donbas, and later the full-scale invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, which became new difficult challenges for our country.

According to the author, in connection with the new historical context, new conditions for the development of the sphere of culture arose, which caused the formation of a new socio-cultural situation, which is characterized by a change in socio-cultural orientation and ideals, rethinking and creation of a new hierarchy of values.

The author believes that the foundations of socio-cultural development of Ukrainian society today are based on all manifestations of unique cultural and social values; development of common cultural, spiritual and educational spaces; active use of the Ukrainian language in all spheres; preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage; popularization and development of the cultural environment; ensuring maximum access to cultural properties, their preservation; stimulating investments for the development of cultural and social spheres, etc.

Keywords: transformational processes, socio-cultural activity, socio-cultural development, socio-cultural policy, man, society, culture.
