The article considers the main problems of the situation and development of youth in Ukraine during the period of social turbulence 2019–2021. Youth is the main resource of society and the main component of human capital, which is being fought for in developed countries. In recent years, Ukraine has faced the loss of this resource due to depopulation and migration. Th e problems of young people, which emerged in the pre-war years, are now becoming unprecedentedly acute. The first step on the way to a solution is an in-depth analysis of the key problems and features of young people’s lives. The authors analyze the spheres of education, employment and work, housing conditions, consumption and leisure, health practices, and social interactions of Ukrainian youth. Special attention is drawn to the differences in ways of life constructing by young men and women, considering that the main areas of life are determined by gender differences in life opportunities. In addition to gender differences, the age subgroup is also a determinant. The most noticeable difference in value orientations and outlook is that the younger they are, the more open they are to change and seek self-affirmation. The youngest subgroup was also the most optimistic, regardless of economic level, and the least religious.In general, in recent decades there has been a diversification of lifestyles thanks to the emergence of new economic, informational, cultural, and political perspectives. The empirical basis of research is a series of data of domestic and foreign studies: the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine on the sex-age distribution of the population of Ukraine, the annual monitoring study of Ukrainian society, the Info Sapiens survey for the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX), the ninth periodic report of Ukraine on the implementation of the Convention of the United Nations Organization, the study of Ukrainian women entrepreneurs, the study of the sociological group «Rating», the report «World Values Survey–2020.

Having used a wide group of archival documents and other sources, having analyzed their content, the author of the publication studies questions of the policy of the German occupation authorities in the field of establishing family and marriage relations local population, which was held in the territory of the RKU. Reconstruction of these aspects of the past makes it possible to study in more detail the problems of the Nazi occupation regime, which functioned on the territory of Ukraine in 1941 - 1944. The author of the publication claims that with the initiative of the occupation administration a special procedure was introduced for establishing family legal relations for the local population. At the same time, normative legal acts in the sphere of family legislation often changed, adapting to the tasks of economic exploitation of Ukraine's labor reserves. A special procedure for registration of family and marriage relations indicates that with its help the occupation authorities sought to find out the nationality and political past of the representatives of the local population. The existence of several normative legal acts in the sphere of family legislation intended for Ukrainians, Volksdeutsche and Jews points to the fact that the principles of racism at the center of the ideology of Nazism directly influenced the formation of family and marriage law.

Formulation of the problem. Rod in the list of pagan deities is concerned with the female nature, with the female mythological images of the mother goddess and stands next to the main gods. The cult of Rod is not only the unity of the descendants but also Rozanicas (the goddesses who were related to many creatures). On this occasion, Bereginya played a special role; that is, the cult of Rod was also a cult of Rozanicas. Conclusions. Family-Kindred from ancient times was considered in this country as the family which covers a wider field: relatives on the paternal and maternal side, nephews, grandchildren. Family- Kindred in Ukraine from ancient times means fertilization by keeping up ties of blood, by creating united kin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
