metadata.value: The article deals with the main trends and debatable issues in the Ukrainian historiography
  of Perestroika. The author establishes a connection between the prevailing ideas about the
  place of Soviet statehood in the history of Ukraine and the role of Perestroika in it. The totalitarian paradigm dominant in Ukrainian historiography is analyzed, according to which:
  1) the reforms were unable to correct the Soviet communism whose collapse was imminent;
  2) as a result of the collapse of the Soviet empire the peoples were given the opportunity to
  create national states and return to the “road of civilization” — to a market economy based
  on private property. The concepts of the system crisis of the Soviet model of socialism and the
  transformation of perestroika as a “revolution from above” into the national revolution during
  the Ukrainian national revival are considered. The article pays a particular attention to the
  coverage of the role of Ukraine in the disintegration of the USSR in the historiography since
  the position of the situational union of sovereign communists and nationalists at the time
  of the conclusion of the Belovezhsky agreements rested on the will of the people — the AllUkrainian referendum. Russia and Belarus did not conduct referendums on independence. It
  has been established that Ukrainian historians have concentrated on studying certain aspects
  of Perestroika, mainly related to Ukraine. They concern the Ukrainian national, linguistic,
  cultural and ecclesiastical revival, the activities of the national-democratic opposition. Many
  aspects of Perestroika (economic reforms, foreign policy, social history, the history of everyday life) in Ukraine are almost not researched at all.
