Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is the process of national and cultural development of ethnic minorities in Ukraine, their creative and educational activities in the context of the development of Ukrainian statehood. The methodology of the research is to apply dialectical, analytical methods to determine the specifics and features of the formation of ethnic societies in the modern period; semiotic and culturological methods for the analysis of socio-cultural processes to represent ethnic culture through the prism of national traditions. The scientific novelty consists in consideration of the main aspects of ethnic culture: the author clarifies the concept of ethnic self-identification, defines the main factors of the association of ethnic groups on the way to the development of national identity, analyzes the cultural and social activities of organizations of national minorities that have arisen and are functioning in Ukraine. Conclusions. An analysis of the current state and main trends in the development of ethnic-national processes and their contribution to the socio-political, economic and spiritual life of our society suggests that the restoration of the independence of the Ukrainian state has changed the social status of the Ukrainian nation and all ethnic communities living on the territory of the country and provided it — a powerful impetus to their national-cultural revival. The political and legal basis formed during the years of independence has created a solid foundation for the harmonious combination of the interests of all ethnic-national components of Ukrainian society, equal conditions for their active participation in state-building processes, ensuring the balance and needs of the development of both the ethnic majority and ethnic minorities. A positive legal factor for the development of the ethnic-national sphere is the creation of conditions and the possibility for representatives of different nationalities to revive, preserve their ethnic identity, language, and culture, traditions, customs, ordinances. The revival of ethnic-national life is an essential state-building factor, which gives grounds for consolidation around the idea of strengthening the Ukrainian democratic state of all citizens, regardless of their ethnic origin.
