Against the background of the socio-political and economic reforms of “perestroika” in the USSR, in particular the introduction of a new concept of national policy, the author outlined important aspects of national and cultural life of the Greek community of USSR. We are talking about its restoration in the specified period, which by this time seemed impossible for many decades of Soviet history. In fact it was the second attempt by the party leadership of the USSR to settle the national question in a democratic way after the measures conducted within the policy of “korenization” (granting to the languages of the USSR indigenous People official status and possibility of participation of their representatives in local self-government), initiated by the XII Congress RCP (b) in 1923, and which already in the end of 30 's were deemed false or even harmful. Since then, in the USSR the rights of national communities systematically violated (ignoring national and cultural needs, limitation of rights and freedoms, deportation on a national basis in 30 – 40 's, Holodomor in Ukraine 1932 – 1933 and etc.). However, the party leadership of the USSR consistently declared lack of any problems in the field of national policy. The situation changed after the proclamation in the USSR in 1985 a new political course, in the context of which basic principles of the Soviet National policy experienced a conceptual reappraisal. The paper is based on documents of the All-Union and Republican (talking about the Ukrainian SSR) value, which were directly related to the sphere of regulation of international relations. Their influence on national-cultural life of Greek community of Ukrainian SSR was analyzed. It should be noted that the term “national minorities” was not used in law-making during the “perestroika” period. Instead, used the notion of “people”, “nationality”, “national groups” and others.
