Imagination about Ukraine as geographical concept and geographical unity was formed in the end of 19th – at the beginning of 20th century. It was impossible to determine its geographical space in the state borders, so Ukraine was understood as a physical-geographical region. Geographical concept of Ukraine as a physical geographical individuality was argued by Stepan Rydnyts’kyi, Volodymyr Gerenovych, and Myron Dolnyts’kyy. The follow development of vievs on these is connected with the internal structure of the state, its administrative, transport, and settlement networks. Key words: Ukraine as geographical notion, geographical unity, geographical spase, phisico-geogra- phical individuality.
