Cossack self-government in Zaporozhya Sich as a component of the state tradition of Ukraine

Vаsyl Pasichnyk
Abstract

The article reveals the content of the Cossack self-government of the Zaporozhian Sich in the context of continuation of the state-building traditions of Ukraine in the Polish-Lithuanian period. The features of the functioning of self-government in the Zaporozhian Sich as a Christian Cossack republic, where the deep democracy of the socio-political system was "sanctified" by the relevant ideology based on Orthodox Christianity, are characterized. The author proves the role of the Cossacks and Cossack self-government in initiating the processes of formation of a separate Ukrainian national identity and the modern Ukrainian nation. The role of the state-building experience of the Cossack self-government in the creation of the independent state of Ukraine in the late twentieth century is revealed
