Етнокультурна інтеграція національних громад в українське суспільство

The main (fundamental) factors of the ethnocultural integration of national communities into the Ukrainian socium are considered. On the basis of the results of empiric studies (performed by the author and at leading sociological centers), the role of language, religion, national solemnities, customs, and rites in the optimization of integrational processes on “ethnic” territories of the contemporary Ukrainian state are analyzed. The attention is focused on the actuality, necessity, and timeliness of the creation of a joining national idea.
