ХХ ст., проаналізовано вплив суспільно-політичних факторів на освітню сферу українського народу, виявлено чинники, що звужували застосування української мови та гальмували її розвиток, прискорювали процес денаціоналізації українців в окреслений період. The given article studies the language policy in higher education of Ukraine during the 60–70 years of the XX century. The author analyses the influence of social and political factors on the educational sphere of Ukrainians, discovers the factors that hampered the development of Ukrainian language and accelerated the process of denationalization of Ukrainians in the outlined period. The reducing of the use of Ukrainian language was the most acutely felt in higher schools of Ukraine where the younger generation of Ukrainians was trained and brought up. The higher school in Ukraine was deprived of a national focus, the education was influenced by the ideology and the state monopoly. The teaching of the most special and general subjects in institutions of higher education was carried out in Russian language. The attempts of Ukrainians to develop traditional elements of national education were mainly challenged by the centralized state policy. The features of Ukrainian higher education that showed the richness of national language, culture, customs and traditions, encouraged the study of national history, popularized the national idea, the idea of the Ukrainian statehood, were leveled under the influence of the policy of russification, which significantly reduced the limits and possibilities of the use of national language in education, the publishing of Ukrainian-language educational and scientific literature.
