Deep historic roots of principal mental, psychologi- cal, social and spiritual differences can be found be- tween the Ukrainian and Russian nations. First of all, a historically determined dramatic difference was found in understanding, perception and conven- tional social roles of archetypes of a woman and a man in the people's folklore of Ukrainians and Rus- sians as a basis of nations' value-based worldview and a derivative social-and-emotional idea of the state and the foundations of state management. The love of freedom of the Ukrainian nation that verges upon anarchism and celebrates personal freedom, recalcitrance and a possibility to choose one's life oneself stands against inclination of pa- ternalistic Russians to the authoritarian power with a sacral ruler of the state. This is what scares the Rus- sian political elite as an example of awakening of the Russian people from despotism and justifies the sa- credly important to the Russian power ideas of sub- jugation of the Ukrainians as the main pre-requisite of restoration and saving the imperial type of the Russian state, which was the real reason for unleash- ing a long-lasting bloody war of Muscovites against Ukraine in 2014-2022.(fragment of text)
