NATIONAL IDEA AS THE DOMINANT OF YURIY KOSACH JOURNALISM 30S OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

Abstract. The article analyzes Yuriy Kosach’s journalism of the 30s of the twentieth century as a component of multifaceted creativity in the context of historical circumstances and literary and critical essays, the national idea as its dominant is singled out. It was emphasized that the relevance of the study is due to almost complete neglect of his 1930s journalism in contemporary research and insufficient attention to its conceptualism. It is noted that the Ukrainian journalistic narrative can not be imagined today without the work of Yuri Kosach, as his work is large, recently the reprint of works in Ukraine began to appear: the novel “Rubicon Khmelnitsky”, the collection “Prose of the lives of others”, novels “The Winner Pondi “,” Day of anger “, a historical prose in three books, novels and stories on the pages of the magazine” Courier Kryvbas “).Attention is paid to the fact that Yuri Kosach’s journalistic work of this period is a reflection of his ideological and ideological struggles, aesthetic orientations, manifestations of changes and fluctuations in his personal priorities. Were described his publications such as “To the Genesis of Ukrainian Nationalism”, “Dogma of the Struggle”, “On the Meeting of the 27th Anniversary of November”, “On the Guard of the Nation”, published in the “Ukrainian Word” weekly. It was revealed that Yuriy Kosach’s contemporary journalistic work gives an opportunity to characterize his vision and understanding of national problems, to understand their vision. The main problem that Yuri Kosach was interested in in the 1930s was the political life of both Western Ukraine and Ukraine as a whole. He made significant efforts to organize and define strategic priorities in solving the main task of activating Ukrainians in the establishment of national self-affirmation and Ukrainian statehood.
