Summary: During 1987-1989, all-Ukrainian public organizations, free from party guardianship, were established in Ukraine – TUM named after Taras Shevchenko, Green Peace, Memorial, youth organizations, workers` strike committees, which united a significant part of Ukrainian youth, creative and scientific-technical intelligentsia, workers and former dissidents. Thanks to their active work, the Communist Party regime was gradually liberalized, and conditions were created for the emergence and deployment of a mass opposition organization, the People`s Movement of Ukraine (Rukh). The logic of the development of socio-political processes in Ukraine, the lack of opportunities for the creation of political parties politicized the informal movement. Informal associations were formed on the basis of a voluntary initiative of the citizens of Ukraine. The self-satisfaction of party bodies in the presence of mass (in terms of number of members) state-owned public organizations, which recognized the leading and guiding role of the CPSU-CPU and were part of the command-and-bureaucratic system, proved fatal. For most, membership in trade unions, the Komsomol, the Communist Party, and other public soviet organizations was not a conscious choice, but for the most part a fulfillment of the rules of the game necessary for a quiet life or career. The emergence of alternative organizations has shown that small groups can be much more effective not only in the protection of historical and cultural monuments, but also in environmental protection, in the competition for the state status of the Ukrainian language. Millions of Ukrainians have begun to feel like conscious citizens, on whose will the fate of Ukraine and the future of their children will depend.
