The place of the form of government in the ideology and practice of the Ukrainian national state creation in the Cossack era of national history is explored. It is argued that in Ukraine with the Cossacks, the birth of a republican form of government, which developed within the framework of the Zaporozhian Sich and the registered Cossack army, is primarily associated with it. It is noted that with the formation of the Cossack-Hetman State in the result of the National Revolution of the middle of the XVII century. the activity of many Ukrainian hetmans was aimed at advocating the necessity of establishing a monarchical form of government in Ukraine. It is suggested that the idea of building a Hetman monarchy in this day was, in fact, a fundamental ideologue in the ideology of the struggle for the preservation / consolidation of Ukrainian sovereignty.
