In order to discuss the particular situation in the official standardization of personal names and.furthermore, its influence on everyday life of the ordinary Ukrainians we should remember that usually application of names is a crisp image of the cultural and historical heritage, recent upheaval of the political despair, lack of consensus among society, gap in the regions’ development, etc. During more than 20 years in Ukraine there were a lot of attempts to find a fair balance between the protection of the rights of minorities and the preservation of the State language. It sounds to be a very hard and simultaneously delicate decision for Ukraine being on the ‘grand chessboard’, searching to step out from the post-Soviet environment and considering the everlasting distractive ‘manoeuvres’ of our close neighbours. Therefore, in this paper I will try to answer a vital question whether the application of names in Ukraine is evidence of a search for the preservation of national identity or is it set within a modern discourse of globalization? popup.nrat_date 2025-11-05 Close
