Historical origins of the state symbols of Ukraine: coat of arms, anthem, flag

The subject of the study of this work is the historical path of development of the state symbols of Ukraine. The cradle of Russian civilization today has turned out to be the center of contradictions. Ethnically and genetically, a single people turned out to be divided because of the complex geopolitical processes taking place on Ukrainian soil. The symbols of Ukraine to this day divide the people, and do not consolidate it. This fact is clearly reflected in the coat of arms, anthem and flag of the state, which bear not heraldic but prognostic errors. The synthesis of possible symbols of the state corresponding to historical realities is not possible today, since each part of Ukraine has its own history that divided the country and led to a civil war.The study used a cultural–historical and ethnographic research method. This made it possible to identify common ethno-cultural origins of different parts of Ukraine and Russia. The historical-comparative method, along with the historical-genetic method, made it possible to build the trajectory of the development of symbols of the state, to identify errors in these symbols.The main conclusions of the article are that the coat of arms, anthem and flag of Ukraine is an artificial object created by the Austro-Hungarian government to fight Russia. All state symbols of modern Ukraine have soiled themselves in the stench of the collaborationist movement. The coat of arms carries historical symbols, but the color, the absence of a motto and the flag trample on the independence of the state, emphasizing Western vassalage. The main dogmatic errors in the legislative description of the coat of arms were indicated and the reasons for the separation of a single state and a single people were analyzed in detail.
