An unordinary personality is distinguished by the ability to reflect adequately a gist of the epoch and form intellectually a new world in accordance with high values. Extrapolating efficiently such a new world on the life of the society, the personality gives the society new outlines and rational motifs to progress. Just such qualities are demonstrated by Myroslav Volodymyrovych Popovich both in his creative research work and socio-political activity under conditions of the historical changes in the development of Ukrainian society. His intellectual growth, thematic and ideological trend of scientific studies, socially significant activities harmonically accompanied, reflected and personified the main milestones of our newest history. Despite of the sharp ideological-party pressing inherent in the communist system, Myroslav Popovich became one of the founders of logic-methodological movement, which has radically changed the ideological and value orientations of a considerable part of Ukrainian intellectuals. His investigations throw light upon the profound historical roots and originality of Ukrainian culture; therefore they are of great importance for the national and culture renaissance, consolidation of Ukrainian nation. He has also outlined peculiarities and essence of the “red century” in order to shape methodological benchmarks for elaborating the strategy of civilization development of our society. He was one of those who stood at the sources of the Narodnyi Rukh (People’s movement) of Ukraine, which has played a significant part in formation of Independent Ukraine. And nowadays, he goes on bearing his influence on the public opinion formation in the country.
