Abstract

Розглянуто роль і місце героїко-патріотичної тематики у творчості Т. Г. Шевченка. Визначено, що формування національно-патріотичної свідомості, особливо у молодого покоління українців, повинно стати важливим чинником подальшого поглибленого вивчення історичного минулого, а саме невмирущих ідей великого Кобзаря. Акцентовано, що героїко-патріотична тематика у творчості Т. Г. Шевченка – це духовний скарб народу. Відтак з՚ясовано, що метою поета було не лише описати трагічне минуле, але й нагадати сучасникам і нащадкам про славу українського народу, його боротьбу за своє соціальне і національне визволення, що нині особливо актуально. In this article the role and place of heroic and patriotic subjects is T. Shevchenko՚s works are covered. This problem is extremely topical nowdays. The formation of heroic and patriotic traditions during the development of Ukrainian country is one of the key problem. The undeclared war that Russia has levied against Ukraine, first of all is intended to destabilize social, economical, and political situations is Ukraine. The aim of this military conflict is not only physical destruction of Ukrainian army, but also demoralization, subversion, of Ukrainian people՚s will. After the invasion of Crimea Russia started an active campaign in other regions of Ukraine, especially in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, which is aimed to get these historical Ukrainian lands, and include them to Russian Federation. In the East ofUkraine the military conflict continues, but had already forced hundreds of thousands people to leave their homes, and number in thousands of victims. It is more than just a war for territory, it is a try to force panic, desperation and disbelief in their power in minds of Ukrainians. In current situation the heroic and patriotic directions of T. Shevchenko are very topical. Through the old times he called to learn the glorious history of our ancestor՚s fight against inner and outer enemies. Forming national-patriotic consciousness, especially in young generation of Ukrainians, along with memorizing glorious heroic traditions and mighty protectors of our people should become a main property of further studying our historical past, in which heroic and patriotic ideas of great Kobzar have become an undying, priceless treasure. Kobzar was one of the first poets who emphasized the necessity to be acknowledged and be proud ofour past, warned about the tragedy of historical memory loss, because the people who doesn՚t know their past can՚t have the future. In these aspects T. Shevchenko, as a great prophet, lights the path for us to build up national consciousness and high ideal of patriotism. That՚s why studying historical and patriotic legacy of T. Shevchenko and his guidances become an important factor of forming national-patriotic consciousness and willingness.
