Виявлено, що заперечення феномену Української революції та факту більшовицької інтервенції на територію України, викривлення історичних фактів у наукових публікаціях російських учених характеризується як складова інформаційно-пропагандистської діяльності та маніпуляції суспільною свідомістю й посідає певне місце поряд із фальшуванням інших подій історичного минулого України.

The issue of justification of application of the principle of self-determination of peoples by separatist formations in Ukraine

Law. Human. Environment, 2021

The article provides an analysis of the possibility of separatist formations in Ukraine to refer to the principle of self-determination of peoples as a justification for their activities. The minimum necessary criteria of legal bases for self-determination are considered, among which: the existence of effective connection of the subject of self-determination with a certain territory; the existence of the subject itself, i.e., the people (ethnic group), which claims self-determination; and the recognition by the international community of such a potential entity as the bearer of the right to self-determination. Regarding the connection with the territory, the doctrine of international law and practice recognizes the right to cultural and national self-determination in a particular territory for any ethnic group. This right is limited to the common interests of all the people of the state, which consists in the unconditional preservation of the inviolability and integrity of its terri...
