Abstract

Creating of Ukrainian SSR’ foreign policy department during the Soviet constitu-
tional reform in 1944, whatever the true motives and intentions of official Kremlin policy, – systemic great strategy, tactical move, situational political maneuvering or diplomatic farce, – had a positive consequences. After more than two decades of forced interruption, the concept of «State Ukraine» appeared in diplomatic correspondence the Ukrainian SSR formally acquired
the status of a subject of international law and was the «initial member» of the United Nations. The very fact of «the republic’s emergence in the international arena» certainly contributed to the growth of national consciousness of Ukrainians, feeling them myself nation that is worth full representation in the international community.
«First among equals» the Soviet Union republic was collaborating with international life, gradually formed its own corps of skilled diplomats, that gained experience of employment activities in international organizations, mastered new methods and the art of negotiation, the ethics of international communication, realized the strength and weakness of the Kremlin diplomacy and simultaneously observed visually slighted status of the Ukrainian SSR in foreign policy. The deep sense of a unique Ukrainian «drift» to international life could not to eviscerate any sophisticated Kremlin filters. The article spotlights the role of D. Manuilsky in launching the «golden age of Ukrainian Soviet diplomacy», whose best achievements diplomatic service of independent Ukraine is developing.

Key words: state, diplomacy, foreign policy, conference, international relations.
