Abstract
Abstract. The goal of the article is to reconstruct the reception of the historiographic work of M. Hrushevsky in Ukrainian foreign socio-humanitarian studies of the 1970s-1980s. The research methodology applies the principles of historicism and objectivity, as well as general scientific and special-historical methods of historiographical research. Scientific originality of the article consists in elucidating the peculiarities of the process of historiographical understanding of the legacy of Hrushevsky the scientist by Ukrainian intellectuals abroad during the 1970s and 1980s. Conclusions. Summarizing the study of the process of historiographic understanding of the scientific heritage of M. Hrushevsky in diasporic socio-humanitarian studies during the 1970s and 1980s, we should first of all note the clear specialization of the discourse of Hrushevsky studies. It was caused by Lyubomir Vynar’s first attempts to theorize the multifaceted studies dedicated to the author of “The History of Ukraine-Rus” and to determine the current directions of historiographic research. As a result, there was a noticeable increase in the number and expansion of the problems of scientific research works, in which attempts were made to comprehensively understand the selected plot on the basis of the available range of sources and with the use of current methodological tools. The range of such problems was determined by the available source materials, in search of which American and Western European researchers intensively studied the collections of archives and libraries on both sides of the Atlantic. As a result, a number of innovative works appeared, many of which have not lost their scientific value in the future. On the other hand, the objective limitation of the range of available documents resulted in the fragmentation of the Hrushevsky scholarly discourse, and hence the impossibility of creating panoramic historiographical studies. Despite this, it is the work of foreign researchers in the 1970s and 1980s that enabled the dynamic progress of mainland Hrushevsky studies after the declaration of Ukrainian independence.
