Popis: The purpose of the article is to cover the socio-cultural environment of Ruthenians, Lemkos and Rusnaks in a historical context. The study used methods of analysis of historical sources, which reflect the main trends in the development and functioning of the socio cultural life of ethnic groups of Ukrainians. The sociocultural method made it possible to consider the Ruthenian, Rusnak and Lemko culture as an integral part of the national traditions of the Ukrainian people through the prism of the determining factor of culture. To obtain comprehensive information on the coverage of the general characteristics of socio-cultural life of ethnic groups, a number of theoretical methods were used: review and analytical analysis of scientific, folklore, historical, ethnographic, cultural and art literature within the studied topics; a historical method that traces the historical stages of Ruthenians, Rusnaks, and Lemkos, as well as a phenomenological method for understanding the importance of the culture of ethnic groups of Ukrainians in the context of cultural aspect of identification. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the comprehensive coverage of the sociocultural environment in the context of history. Conclusions. Therefore, the Eastern Slavic group of the Carpathian region, in particular Ukraine, made up of Transcarpathian Rusyn-Ukrainians and Rusyns of Serbia, for centuries was influenced by those peoples who surrounded them (Poles, Slovaks, Hungarians, Romanians, Germans, Serbs, Croats), they also enriched the culture of these peoples, including Bachka, Kerestur and other places. But despite these circumstances, the Ruthenian and Ukrainian migrants did not lose their national identity. Cultural ties between the Bachka Ruthenians and the Carpathian population have never been broken. At the beginning of the 19th century, before the politicization of the Lemko and Ruthenian issues, we could talk about the unity of the Lemkos and the Bachka Ruthenians in the realm of national consciousness, culture and language, their interaction in the cultural and ethnic plane of all Rusyn-Lemko diasporas. Evidence of the affinity of the Bachka Ruthenians with the entire Rusyn-Ukrainian ethnocultural space is the spread of the genre of Kolomyia, and they brought the tradition of the Ruthenian school to Bachka from Transcarpathia. Therefore, we can claim that Ukrainian ethnicity is related to Serbia and Croatia. However, Ruthenian identity can only be strengthened when it focuses on the Ukrainian nation. It is proved that studying the history, peculiarities of determining the identification of the Ukrainian population in different territories is one of the main issues of today. The folk culture of ethnic groups of Ruthenians, Lemkos and Rusnaks bears the marks of Ukrainian-wide culture. Despite the complex historical events, the Lemkos, Ruthenians and Rusnaks migrants, at their core, retained their national, in particular, Ukrainian specificity of identification.
