Abstract
The article analyzes formation of the mentality of modern eastern Slavic nations – Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian. Mentality is a set of collective representations of inherent ethnic group, formed in specific climatic, historical and cultural conditions of the so-called archetypes. Among the various types of mentality national mentality is particularly important, it defines lifestyle, val- ues, attitudes, ideological traits, psychological characteristics and culture of each nation. It is noted that the history of formation of mentality in modern eastern Slavic nations is over 1000 years. It was originated in eastern Slavic tribes on Ukrainian territory and partially in Belarus. In the first century AD these tribes migrated to the northwest and assimilated with the Baltic and Finno-Ugric tribes, forming new ethnic groups – Belarusian and Russian. Based on data pub- lished in scientific and journalistic literature about features of the origin, historical and cultural development of the eastern Slavic nations author attempts to prove that these nations belong to different anthropological complexes, don’t have common language, and despite the neighbor- hood territories, similar religion and etc. their cultural and historical development differ signifi- cantly. Phenomenon of Ukrainian mentality is analyzed, it is defined with the basic archetypes (womanhood of «Ukraine» archetype, archetypes of ethnic values of a free person, anthropo- centrism, wisdom, philosophy of the heart, words, nature) and essential components (cordocen- tric, existential – «boundary» attitude, special role of women in the Ukrainian mentality). It is re- ported that Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian peoples have developed various historical and cultural means and how it reflected on mutual understanding and the newly established tradi- tions and values after the Soviet Union collapse. It is emphasized that through propaganda poli- cy of Russian authorities, which began in the 20’s of the XX century and was not finished until now, Russians and Ukrainians become enemies.
