abstract = {The article explores the processes of formation of contemporary Ukrainian political nation, founded by both the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar peoples. The unique nature of this process lies in the fact that the Crimean Tatars, who are ethnically Turkic, religiously Muslim, and are bearers of a different „cultural code” in contrast to Ukrainians, who are Slavs and predominantly Christians, have become subjects in the formation of the Ukrainian political nation. They both fight side by side for the Ukrainian state and envision their future together. The article is aimed at studying the reasons behind such a unique phenomenon in the modern world, which suffers from conflicts of identity – ethnic, linguistic, religious, and historical ones. The writers of the paper are trying to analyze processes and reasons behind the Crimean Tatars’ struggle for Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, which is also a struggle for their own political subjectivity. The authors also try to examine why cultural, historical, and political development of the Crimean Tatar people is possible only within the framework of a unified Ukrainian state.},
