Abstract

The article deals with the problem of unsocial behavior of young people in Ukraine inthe XXth century. At that time Ukraine was in the structure of former Soviet Union (1917-1991). InSoviet times the theory of unsocial phenomena could not freely develop because the unsocialphenomena were considered as an acquisition of capitalist society. For a long time researches aboutalcoholism, drug addiction, criminality, sexual demoralization, and others were closed and theirresults were not presented for a public discussion. Nevertheless certain traditions in research of theseparate phenomena of un sociality were successfully formed in pre-soviet times. First of all itconcerns the researches of suicides, criminality and alcoholism. The views of scientists on reasonsof unsocial behavior in Ukraine in the ХХth century are analyzed by authors in this paper.
