Historical and legal reality reviewed as a complex of social and cultural phenomenon caused by civilization uniqueness of cultural archetype, especially of the formations and functioning elements, connections between these elements and other social phenomena. Analyzes the concept of “ethnic niches” as a condition of the formation and existence of the ethnic group, including Ukrainian. The social component of this concept, which consist elaborated by thousands of years tradition of interaction including socially accepted culture, ethnic culture which reflects the state of integration of their relevanttraditions in constant self-sufficient system.
The key for the historical and legal research of Ukrainian legal tradition is pushing «lawstateness» (by O. Skakun), which accented the primacy of law (in the ratio law and the state), and the stateness is viewed in a wide sense – as a system of political and legal organization of society.
