The article in the cycle dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s declaration of independence reviews some of the results and lessons learned over the years. This date could have been the occasion for a thorough and comprehensive analysis. This opportunity was not taken advantage of at the Jubilee Celebrations held, and the issues of modernization and development remained pending and urgently require resolution. Chief among them the author considers decisive release of social energy, restoration of historical continuity of state forms, search of optimal model of new Ukrainian state, its relations with society and external environment. Ukraine needed to overcome the inertia and social entropy of previous decades, clearly define objectives and select more carefully the means to achieve them. It faces the daunting political challenge of finding the best balance between freedom and order, national statehood and globalization. For this purpose, it will be necessary to reboot the political system of the Ukrainian republic. Ukraine has such an opportunity and this is interesting.
