The purpose of the study. The research is dedicated to the problems of considering the publishing activity of M.Hrushevskyi in the period before the World War I as the main direction of his social and political activity, and one of the aspects of Hrushevskyi’s studies, the role and significance of which requires more attention from researchers of the life and social activities of M.Hrushevskyi.
The research methodology is based on the principles of comprehensive analysis of sources representing the publishing activity of M.Hrushevskyi, his role as a publisher and the native head of “LNV”, “Selo”, “Zasiv”. The use of the problem-search method combined with a critical analysis of studies devoted to M.Hrushevskyi gives an opportunity to discover the main aspects and features of the views of scientists on his publishing activities in the context of general social and political work.
The scientific novelty of the study is in the determination of the place and significance of the publishing activity of M.Hrushevskyi as an important branch of the Hrushevskyi studies. Analysis of publications related to the life and work of M.Hrushevskyi before the outbreak of the World War I allows claiming that his publishing activity literally as well as an effective and constant control over “LNV”, “Selo”, “Zasiv” allowed M.Hrushevskyi to strengthen his position as a leader of the Ukrainian national movement.
Conclusions. It was determined that publishing activity was one of the key areas of M.Hrushevskyi’s common work. It is shown that the transfer of “LNV” to Kyiv in 1907 contributed not only to the unification of both parts of Ukraine, separated by borders, but also to the strengthening of his sole influence on the journal, which in a part can be considered as his private edition, with the help of which he became the 1 in the Ukrainian national movement. Therefore, the publishing activity of M.Hrushevskyi served not only to form the Ukrainian national consciousness and spread Ukrainian ideas, but also to increase his personal influence and significance in Ukrainian society.
