СТЕРЕОТИПИ МИСЛЕННЯ ВЧЕНИХ ПІВНІЧНОЇ АМЕРИКИ У ДОСЛІДЖЕННІ ІСТОРІЇ РАННЬОМОДЕРНОЇ УКРАЇНИ

On the construction of interpretive models of Ukrainian Early Modern history in North American historiographic space some U.S. and Canadian scholars inculcate the stereotypes of thinking. These stereotypes are the result of distorted perception of the history of Ukraine, which depended on political factors and to some extent the use of anti-Ukrainian content scientific literature. The researcher identifies the presence of stereotypes of thinking in the North American historiographical scholarship within the coverage by scholars the Ukrainian Early Modern time. Among them are such as «unhistoricity of Ukrainian nation», «Russiancentrism», «terminological inconsistencies», «historiographical nationalism». Their genesis and prospects for further use are described. In particular, the emergence of stereotype «unhistoricity of Ukrainian nation» reaches the nineteenth century, and depends on foreign affairs factors. In the nineteenth century G. Hegel in his theory of «historical nations» did not portrayed Ukrainians as separate nation that aspired to the creation of original state. The next stereotype «Russiancentrism» means inseparable history of Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians from the All-Russian history. This pattern is explained by the fact that researchers in formulating of their conclusions often refer to studies of Russian scientists, studying history of Eastern Europe The stereotype of «terminological inconsistencies» in the English-speaking scientific papers occurs due to foreign scholars definitions excavated from the Russian historical literature, the content load of which was shifted through the translation. The distribution of Ukrainian myth «historiographical nationalism» led to the emergence of another stereotype. The beginning of this myth stems from the fact that most foreign researchers of history of Ukraine are of Ukrainian origin, while the history of Russia are of Russian and American ones. After all, every historian of Ukrainian origin, or that one who worked in Ukrainian studies research centers was considered, in essence, «nationalist». However, all foreign scientists working in the field of Ukrainian issues have not the abovementioned stereotypes of thinking, because in the understanding of Early Modern Ukrainian history in North American academia are characterized by presence of two conceptual approaches – the continuation the interpretation of Ukrainian history within «Russiancentric» paradigm, and attempt of separateness of the Ukrainian segment as an objective component of the East Central European history. In order to implement new approaches and avoiding of stereotypes in Ukrainian foreign studies are all the possibilities taking into consideration free access to the archives to foreign scientists, the presence of digital copies of research papers of national and foreign researchers in the Internet.
