The article focuses on the analysis of the ideological aspects and contradictions of returning the historical name Pereiaslav to the city of Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, objectivity, methods of scientific analysis, generalization. The scientific novelty is that for the first time the ideological aspects and contradictions regarding the return of the historical name of Pereyaslav to the city of Pereyaslav-Khmelnytsky are analyzed. The Conclusions. In the scientific discourse of historians, we should highlight two approaches of changing the toponymic names of settlements. It is revealed that the returning to the city of its historical name Pereiaslav should be considered in the light of two historical concepts: of the Soviet “All-Russian nation” and of the restoration of historical memory of the Ukrainian nation. At the present stage of state-making and nation-building processes in Ukraine, the main motives of the returning to the city of its historical name Pereiaslav, especially the historical, political and ideological, domestic, have been identified. Based on history lessons, the main stages of returning the city to the historical name have been identified. The public and political initiatives of the 1990s have been highlighted, where the problem of restoration historical memory and state processes since the times of Kyiv Rus and the role of Pereiaslav Principality was raised in the circles of local historians and researchers. There have been elucidated the political attempts of restoring the historical name of Pereiaslav at the beginning of the 2000s. It is proved that the activation of public and political initiatives on the return of the city's historical name Pereiaslav in 2014–2019 brought to the restoration of historical justice and, at the legislative level of the returning to the city of its historical name.
Key words: Pereiaslav, Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi, Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, renaming, return of historical name, ideology, “brotherly peoples”, “reunification”.
