Ukrainian mentality

Did you notice how many English words entered to Ukrainian during the last years?The words «Sponsor, «Consensus», «Mentality» became frequently used in Ukrainian vocabulary.

Someone considers the «Mentality as the total of property of certain nation, others consider as the special determination of signs of nation which shows in periods of historical development. Certainly, every nation has own signs. During the centuries, they aren’t specially changed, as well as the mentality is not changeable.

The greatest sign of Ukrainian mentality development in a history of Ukraine is a period of Zaporizhian Sich, Cossacks, social spirit which is known in a world culture as Cossacks – Christian republic. We delight with heroism of Cossacks, but we can’t forget that Cossacks was peculiar not only heroism such as they are people, which had to live

in time of warrior, devastations and cruelties.

Besides military experience was the worthy respect in Sich. And people who have not these features of character were nothing to do, and they remained unnoticeable. Single personality, which was not military, but had other talents, could simply fail.

And it was logical and correct to that time.
