Abstract
The article details the issue of agricultural mentality of Ukrainians. Mentality is not a consistent
way of thinking, it constantly changes under influence of various factors. A nation constantly improves
one’s mentality through new perceptions, on the basis of which attitude towards the world is formed.
Nation cannot develop if it only concentrates one’s efforts on one direction of its livelihood. It is
exemplified by the fact that success of other nations is based on a varied economic activity.
It is stated that specificity of Ukrainians lies in the fact that for a long time they were oriented
towards development of agriculture as a basis of one’s functioning. This approach had objective
reasons: objective – availability of vast lands, suitable for cultivation and subjective – efforts of
oppressors to downgrade economic activity of Ukrainians only to agriculture and limit access to
handcrafts and trade to slow down the development of our nation.
It is established that it led to socio-economic lag of Ukrainians from other nations but also to
an economic deformation. Formation of agricultural mentality and its transition to the main feature
of Ukrainians was considered and analyzed. It is also indicated that for the purpose of social
development it is required to extend Ukrainian mentality.
