population regarding Cossack topics revealed a very moderate level of their (population) awareness on this 
topic.
Presenting main material: Years of militant atheism, famine, and the destruction of the intelligentsia 
in our country have led to historic oblivion, interrupted and destroyed many traditions that strengthened the 
bond of generations, provided a life of sanctification through faithfulness to age-old customs, experiences, 
aspirations, teachings. The objective regularity of the successful development of a prosperous society is the 
return of lost values to the educational process of the individual [4]. In the wake of the formation of an 
independent Ukrainian state and national uplift in the late 1980s, interest in the history and heritage of 
Ukrainian Cossacks increased in Ukraine.
Awareness of the main population of the country about the Cossacks as such, about its history, 
culture, traditions and way of life, according to the surveys of NGO "Kyiv Academy of Cossacks" [1; 3], is 
extremely low. There are almost no centers promoting Cossack history, culture and life where people can 
learn and follow Cossack traditions.
Many research organizations in Ukraine are engaged in research relating to various aspects of 
Cossack history, but to date there are not enough Cossack culture and life centers to satisfy the mass interest 
of ordinary citizens - those interested in the Cossacks, who treat themselves as Cossacks - to Cossack 
history, culture and way of life. There are not enough centers for the promotion of scientific knowledge about 
the Cossacks and the rich ethno-cultural heritage of this historical phenomenon. We consider it necessary 
for every citizen of Ukraine, a potential Cossack descendant, to have a more detailed idea or even to know 
the history of the Cossack phenomenon [1; 3].
In the wake of the rapidly growing interest in Cossack subjects, the NGO “Kyiv Academy of 
Cossacks” (hereinafter referred to as KyAC) was created, bringing together highly professional specialists 
in various fields of science and technology.
Within the framework of the main project of KJSC “Cossacks as a social status and ethno-cultural 
community” has developed the following thematic subprojects in three directions:
1) scientific and educational - "
Kozatska Svіtlytsya
";
2) cultural and educational - “Cossack Leisure Club”;
3) ethno-cultural - "Bereginya of the Cossack Family’ School" [1; 2].
The proprietary names and content of the project and all its subprojects of the Kiev Academy of 
Cossacks are protected in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine on intellectual property [1].
Taking into account the fact that one of the tasks of the Academy was the promotion of Cossack 
heritage, the specialists formed the basic components of the concept of "Cossack ethno-cultural heritage", its 
tangible and intangible components [1; 2; 3].
Kiev Academy of Cossacks constantly monitors the effectiveness of its educational activities. For 
monitoring studies of our activities, we have optimized our questionnaires, which have been covered in all 
our previous scientific publications [2; 3], which allows us to keep our hands on the pulse of the trends of 
the modern transient world. The Academy’s experts analyzed the respondents' answers, reduced the 
questionnaires and adapted them to the optimal level of perception of our respondents. Here is a new 
author's questionnaire (authors: Voloshina A. L., Sychevskaya L. E., Oliynyk L. G.) "Research of interest in 
Cossack topics" in full.
