Abstract

The article considers the parameters of the expression of patriotic consciousness in the children (ambivalent) novel of Borys Grinchenko “Sunny Light”. B. Grinchenko novel actualize aspects of patriotic consciousness, exhibit and pour the manifestations of antinational or marginal worldview and, thus, influence the formation of a patriotic outlook of children, adolescents or youth. Noted that the novel became multifaceted, ideological comprehensive work, in which the concept of national liberation is artistically illustrated. It combines tendentially realistic and critical-realistic content-style elements with elements of enlightenment, romanticism and sentimentality. Such a semantic variety makes a multidimensional, more accessible for perception, first of all, older children and young people. On the basis of the analysis of the work shows antinational phenomena, such as chauvinism, lawsiveness, renegations arising in the heroes of the novel of the imperial public worldview. The author demonstrates the reader of the disgusting essence of Russian character, appeals to a possible zemorginalized reader, warns from the assimilation of Russian mentality and denationalized consciousness. Noted that the writer depicts two types of consciousness, two characters, but over time, some turned into renegades, werewolves and the other remained conscious ukrainophiles.It is accented that an important significance aspect of the novel is its problem polyphony: from personal to socially significant issues of national and social direction. It is noted that there is a clearly outlined national question. These national problem aspects are relocated with other writer’s works on patriotic themes. The analyzed work states that the artistic word of Borys Grinchenko not only educated young people, but also was a kind of call to address to national issues (sacrificial love for the homeland) and social (education and work of the intelligentsia for the people) direction. An important idea is expressed: declarative patriotism, patriotism without responsibility is really worthless for the national cause.
