Abstract
The author of the article attempts to demonstrate how the crisis in Ukrainian society is reflected in the humanities. After the fall of the Soviet Union, there came a period of stagnation in Ukraine. A change was triggered by the Revolution of Honor which took place in Ukraine in winter of 2013. Since then new models of scientific development have been proposed, especially by young Ukrainian intellectualists; however, some of these ideas require active state support. The modernization of humanities necessitates taking overall measures. This means that some state institutions, such as the National Academy of Science and universities, need to be reformed. A great tension can be observed among scholars specializing in literary studies and history - they keep arguing about methodologies, criteria of assessment and perspectives for further development. The liberal research models promulgated in the works of Y. Hrytsak, T. Hundorova, and A. Portnov are in a stark conflict with the remnants of old and outdated academic thinking of the previous era. A ‘lustration’ in the academic ranks seems necessary, but there exist no procedures to implement it. The humanities in contemporary Ukraine ask for fundamental changes - that is the main task for the nearest, European future.
