The first issue of the scientific journal “Ukrainian Society” was published in April 2002. The idea magazine’s first founders (in particular, the first editor-in-chief Olexander Yaremenko, former director of the Ukrainian Institute for Social Research) proved to be viable! In the “Address to the reader”, which opened the first issue, co-founders have justified the expediency of the publication: “The complex and contradictory processes that takeplace in the changing modern Ukrainian society … give rise to a constant and urgent need for an impartial, the oretically grounded analysis. An objective study of the present realities is absolutely necessary for an adequate understanding of the current situation in Ukraine, the outline of prospective ways to improve the life of society inall its dimensions: economic, political, spiritual, organizational and structural“.
During the period of journal’s existence, a number of changes took place: in the composition of the co-founders, in the composition of the editorial board, in the appearance and graphic design of the magazine. However, the principles and ideas put forward by the initiators of the magazine’s creation, in general, remain unchanged: the importance and relevance of the issues, scientific fairness, impartiality, not business-oriented approach, and the carefulness and fidelity to principles of assessments and judgments on the most urgent issues of social life.
