Abstract
Abstract. The purpose of the article is to reconstruct the process of discussing Mykhailo Hrushevsky’s scholarly work in the intellectual space of the Russian Empire at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The methodological basis of the work is an interdisciplinary approach. At the same time, methods of philosophical, general-scientific and specific-historical character are applied as well. Particular emphasis is placed on the structural and functional system analysis of historiographical facts and the method of critical analysis of documentary material. The scientific novelty of the study lies in an attempt to provide a panoramic reconstruction of the debates that Hrushevsky’s activity as a historian provoked within the milieu of the Russian intelligentsia at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Conclusions. Summarizing our observations on the russian reception of M. Hrushevsky’s creative legacy during the late 19th and early of the 20th centuries we can confidently assert that it became a kind of mirror that clearly reflected the attitude toward all Ukrainians on the part of representatives of many branches of Russian scientific and socio-political thought. The rapid evolution of the theoretical foundations of the Ukrainian movement at the end of the 19th and in the early of the 20th centuries, the diversification of cultural and scientific forms of national life, and the complication of its socio-political field required adequate reflection on the part of Russian intellectuals. As a result, several interpretative approaches were created, ranging from quite successful attempts at academic analysis of M. Hrushevsky’s historiographical legacy (N. Ryshkov, K. Radchenko, V. Storozhev, V. Cherepin, N. Chechulin) to outright profanation of the entire spectrum of his activities by supporters of the right-wing monarchist ideology (T. Florinsky, M. Pavlov, I. Sikorsky, S. Shchogolev). It should be noted that manifestations of these approaches can also be traced in contemporary Russian Ukrainian studies, in which M. Hrushevsky continues to be a symbol of Ukrainian identity of his era.
