Peculiarities of Unsocial Behavior of Young People of Ukraine in the XXth Century: Historical Aspect

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of unsocial behavior of young people in Ukraine in
the XXth century. At that time Ukraine was in the structure of former Soviet Union (1917-1991). In
Soviet times the theory of unsocial phenomena could not freely develop because the unsocial
phenomena were considered as an acquisition of capitalist society. For a long time researches about
alcoholism, drug addiction, criminality, sexual demoralization, and others were closed and their
results were not presented for a public discussion. Nevertheless certain traditions in research of the
separate phenomena of un sociality were successfully formed in pre-soviet times. First of all it
concerns the researches of suicides, criminality and alcoholism. The views of scientists on reasons
of unsocial behavior in Ukraine in the ХХth century are analyzed by authors in this paper.
