This is an automatically translated description

The textbook is based on many years of experience in teaching this discipline in higher education institutions and takes into account the modular system of education. Its purpose is not to impose on the reader their own assessments of state and legal phenomena that have taken place throughout the long history of our country, but to encourage them to think creatively, to make self-sustained reflections and judgements, to make their own assessments of certain historical events, phenomena, institutions of state and law.

Without claiming to present the educational material exhaustively, and even more so - to establish the absolute truth, the author would like to facilitate the study and analysis of the difficult pages of state and legal development of Ukraine at different stages of its history for students, postgraduates, and young teachers.
