Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of the study is to comprehensively reconstruct the process of understanding the critical and bibliographic heritage of M. Hrushevsky in modern Ukrainian historiography. The research methodology involves the use of the principles of objectivity, historicism, and systematicity, as well as general scientific and special-historical methods typical for historiographical research. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the study of the little-known problem of the reception of M. Hrushevsky's critical and bibliographic work in Ukrainian socio-humanitarian studies of the 1990s - the first quarter of the 2020s. As a result, in modern Hrushevsky studies, the review heritage of the author of "History of Ukraine-Rus" has become the object of independent comprehensive historiographic analysis. This was facilitated by the implementation of the project of the academic edition of the works of M. Hrushevsky in 50 volumes, where a separate series was allocated for critical and bibliographic publications. This prompted researchers to conduct a comprehensive contextual understanding of the phenomenon of Hrushevsky as a reviewer. As a result, a number of thorough studies by L. Zashkilnyak, V. Telvak, I. Hyrych, V. Masliychuk, O. Yurkova, M. Kapral, A. Felonyuk, etc. appeared, which were carried out mostly according to the chronological criterion of the scientist's work. The suspension of the implementation of the academic edition determines the primary prospects for further research into the critical and bibliographic heritage of M. Hrushevsky. The first priority is to clarify the features of his review work during 1915-1934, search for unknown and unpublished texts, reveal the motivation of the scientist's appeal to certain works in the context of the contemporary epistolary, diaries, memoirs, etc. All this should bring us closer to preparing a monographic study about Hrushevsky-reviewer, the need for which has been repeatedly mentioned in the historiography of recent decades.
