Сопоставительный анализ взглядов Н. И. Костомарова и П. А. Кулиша об исторической роли и эпохе Богдана Хмельницкого
Comparative Analysis of the Views of N. Kostomarov and P. Kulish about Bogdan Khmelnytsky

Summary/Abstract: N. Kostomarov’s views in the second half of the 19th century reflected the ambitions of the Ukrainian bourgeois-noble national circles that fought for the national autonomy of Ukraine within the framework of the Russian Empire. P. Kulish had slightly different views from those of Kostomarov: he called Khmelnytsky a selfish politician whose actions were only guided by his egotistic purposes. We can interpret Kulish’s work as a strong criticism of and attack on the democratic Ukrainian national movement that from the middle of the 19th century “discovered” and idealized Khmelnytsky and his movement.
