Abstract

Following the view on the modern language problem in Ukraine as a result of a long war, this paper focuses on the language question which constitutes the anti-imperial Ukrainian counter discourse starting from the middle XIX century up to the present day and explores the development of nationalistic ideas in their close relationship to the language.
