Символіка війська Української держави: 1918 рік

Abstract

Метою статті є комплексне дослідження процесу опрацювання та впровадження української військової символіки в період існування Української держави гетьмана Павла Скоропадського (квітень-грудень 1918 року).

The aim of the article is a comprehensive study of the process of elaboration and implementation of Ukrainian military symbols during the existence of the Ukrainian state of Hetman Pavlo Skoropadsky (April-December 1918). The analysis of the process of elaboration and introduction of Ukrainian symbols in the army of the Ukrainian state of Pavlo Skoropadsky is important for Ukrainian military-historical science because during this period the spontaneity of production of military symbols usual for the Central Rada was interrupted. At this time, the process of symbolic definition of the army becomes constant and purposeful. At the same time, the trend of nationality, initiated by the Ukrainian revolution, continued during the Hetmanate of Pavel Skoropadsky and from the organizational point of view was supported by his experience of military management acquired during his service in the Russian army.
