It is marked the necessity of impartial, without ideological, civilization preferences, research of sources and forms of state formations that will allow to find out nature and essence of state-forming processes that have taken place on the territory of Ukraine and their influence on development of national science of state administration. It is proved that completeness and exactness of conclusions and suggestions concerning further development of Ukrainian society exactly depend on the high level of authenticity of historical sources in wide sense of its meaning.
