The processes of social communication in various spheres and the formation of social ideas among the social elite and educated circles are revealed in the materials of the project. Based on the innovative research methodology and historical approaches the work : reconstructs the basic models of organization of social strata of Kyivan Rus and a set of social concepts of the Old Ruthenian epoch; traces the process of formation of royal identity and dynastic memory; reveals the role of material objects in the communication of ideas of power by the Old Ruthenian elites; examines the origin of socially significant Old Ruthenian texts; reveals the peculiarities of the reception of the Ruthenian chronicles in the works of Polish historians of the 15th – 16th centuries. The importance of the fulfilled project is due to the low level of research on the problems of social communication in the Middle Ages in the Central and Eastern European region. The comparison of Old Ruthenian materials with Central and even Western European ones has been carried out, as well as the tracing of genetic connections of cultural phenomena of Rus, Byzantium and Central and Western Europe. Thus, the Ukrainian component fits into the European medieval context. The accomplished project not only fills the gaps in knowledge about the past of Ukraine in the Middle Ages, but also deepens the integration of Ukrainian historiography with world medieval studies. The social significance of the project is to identify in the past models of social communication, in particular between the government and the rest of society, tracing the heredity of social traditions in Ukraine and demonstrating the fundamental unity of the historical process in Ukraine and the rest of Europe in pre-modern times.
