Abstract: In the proposed historiographical survey, the problems of national minorities of Ukrainian researchers of the 1990s 20 centurybeginning of the 21 century are considered through a series of problematic and meaningful blocks, which determined the priorities of research practices at one or another stage of Ukrainian state formation under the influence of internal and external factors.The study revealed that in the existing Ukrainian and foreign scientific discourse, national minorities were thoroughly and multifacetedly revealed as a subject of Ukrainian state formation in the conditions of socio-political transformations, political instability and foreign policy challenges of the 1990s 20 th centurybeginning of the 21 st century.At the same time, however, the large range of views, opinions, and assessments belonging to representatives of national minorities and ethnic groups is not adequately represented, which actualizes further research practices in the new historical realities.At the present stage of development of Ukraine formed a modern galaxy of scientists with new scientific thinking in the field of study of ethno-national issues, seeking not only to objectively interpret it, but also to resist destructive forces, expansion of ideology of the "Russian world", responsibly predict the future and practice.It is in the focus on practical results that the possible plane of productive interaction between the historian and the authorities Chapter «historical sciences»in the field of ethno-national issues is seen in the context of international, socio-economic and political challenges for Ukraine in the 21 st century. introductionUkraine is a multi-ethnic state at the intersection of civilizational influences, a clash of political, economic, socio-cultural interests of the democratic and totalitarian states of the 21 st century.Russian aggression against Ukraine has prompted historians to significantly rethink Ukrainian-Russian, first of all, inter-ethnic relations in the territory of our Motherland from the perspective of our own national interests.Domestic, foreign historians have noticed a clear trace of Russian petrodollars and in the European civilization space, namely: Russia's interference in electoral processes abroad, the creation of an anti-Ukrainian "fifth column" there.The bribery and blackmail of western politicians are one of the instruments of influence on national minorities of Transcarpathia, Southern Ukraine.The Hybrid war has become an integral part of Russian foreign policy, particularly in the area of Ukrainian international relations.National minorities play an important role in the history of independent Ukraine.Ethno-national diversity in Ukraine has to some extent influenced the sociopolitical, cultural, economic, denominational or ideological processes within the country.Understanding the role of national minorities in all spheres of public and political life of Ukraine, both nationally and regionally, is not only scientifically-cognitive but also safe for a country that defends European values in military confrontation with the Russian Federation, of the civilized world.The object of the study is national minorities as a subject of Ukrainian state-building, a determining factor of socio-cultural progress, sociopolitical transformations and, at the same time, political instability in the context of the foreign policy challenges of the 1990s 20 th centurybeginning of the 21 st century.The subject of the study is the discourse of Ukrainian and foreign scholars on the role of national minorities of Ukraine in the state-making processes of the 1990s 20 th century -beginning of the 21 st century.The purpose of the study is to analyze the scientific discourse on the place and role of national minorities of Ukraine in the socio-political of the 1990s 20 th century -beginning of the 21 st century.
