The urgent task today is to identify the relationships and determination of the way of life of peasants with<br>revolutionary and state-building processes, the infl uence of the peasantry on the ideology and policy of various forms of statehood<br>in Dnieper Ukraine, elucidating the origins and preconditions of Ukrainian peasantry.<br>Purpose. The purpose of the article is to defi ne the essential characteristics of the Ukrainian society of Dnieper Ukraine<br>of the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries, to determine its type, to fi nd out what basic elements became the basis for<br>Ukrainian agrarianism as a peasant-centric phenomenon of the Ukrainian revolution of 1917-1921.<br>Methods. The methodological basis of the study is a socio-cultural approach, which allows to explain how ethnic and social<br>norms, values, ideals, stereotypes, traditions of the Ukrainian peasantry inherent in agrarian society largely determined sociopolitical processes and infl uenced the emergence of domestic agrarianism in 1917-1921.<br>Results. At the beginning of the twentieth century despite the modernization processes, the Ukrainian society of the Dnieper<br>region remained largely an agrarian society, which was determined by the following characteristics: the dominance of the<br>peasantry in the social structure; life in the system of interaction “man-nature”, land as the greatest good and basic value,<br>dominance in the economy of agricultural production with the use of simple technologies; social organization of the patriarchal<br>type, the importance of the institution of the family, the existence of the family peasant economy as the main production unit, which<br>has a natural-consumer character; the importance of the rural community as a social integrator with its economic, administrative<br>and social functions; solidarity in the community and distrust of the outside world (state, city, gentlemen, etc.); traditional system<br>of social norms and values, the defi ning place of manual labor as a high value, moral duty, social status and legitimization of<br>property and wealth; peasant notions of justice and the dominance of customary law; locality of interests, particularism, low social<br>mobility; conservatism, inertia, low perception of innovations, focus on stability; the peasant consciousness has a patriarchalreligious character, the lack of mass education; low national identity, the relationship of peasant social and national demands.<br>Originality. The results of the research obtained by the author are scientifi cally signifi cant and new. They signifi cantly<br>expand and supplement previous knowledge about the grounds for the formation of Ukrainian agrarianism.<br>Conclusion. The article identifi es the essential characteristics of the Ukrainian society of the Dnieper region and states that<br>in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries it was a society of a predominantly agrarian type. It was found that the reasons<br>for the formation of domestic agrarianism in the days of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917 - 1921 were: in the economic sphere<br>- agricultural production, the main subject of labor in which is land and constantly associated with the activities of the peasant;<br>in the political sphere - peasant democracy in the form of self-government of the rural community; in the social sphere - the<br>contradiction between the “small local society” of the village and the “big society” personifi ed by the city and the government;<br>in the legal sphere - the vision of social justice, which existed in customary law, where the right of ownership is associated with<br>manual labor; in the spiritual and socio-cultural sphere - the traditional patriarchal nature of the peasant consciousness</p> ER -
