SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL PRECONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRAINING OF MILITARY CADRES IN UKRAINE IN THE XIXth – AT THE BEGINNING OF THE XXth CENTURY

The article proves that the development of the system of the training of military cadres in Ukraine in the XIXth – at the beginning of the XXth century was preceded by a number of socio-economic and political preconditions. Among them, there are national traditions formed and accumulated over the centuries: from rituals and ceremonies, folk traditions and games, to the Zaporozhian Sich, which has become a true school of the military and physical training of youth. It has been determined that an important role in the development of the studied phenomenon was played by the pedagogical legacy of the best domestic representatives of the political, civil and cultural life of the country (Monomakh, Ilarion, H. Skovoroda and others). It has been discovered that the integration of Ukraine into the Russian Empire led to the dissolution of the Zaporozhian Sich, caused the destruction of national traditions of military education; led to the desire to imitate “fashionable” education in private boarding schools, with the help of foreign-language teachers or in the cadet corps, which were created in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities.
