Especially this situation is visible in the Eastern regions of Ukraine. At the same time, Ukrainian language and culture is being discriminated freely, despite of the existing laws. The aim of research is to follow the Odessa citizens` attitude towards Ukrainian language and culture at the beginning of XX century, based on the example of innovations in Odessa Mariinska Gymnasium. Also, in the article such cases are observed as the development of national education on the South of Ukraine at the beginning of XX century; changes in the sphere of national parenting discovered, which were connected to the activity of different governments in the mentioned period; the level of language popularity in Odessa is showed, based on the example of one among the most famous women's gymnasiums - Mariinska. Particularly, applications of students' relatives have been analyzed regarding the Ukrainian language tutorial and the overall reasons of their civil position regarding everything Ukrainian have been followed. In the second half of XIX century on the territory of Dnieper Ukraine the idea of Ukrainian nationalism was suppressed. Ukrainians, like other people enslaved by Russian Empire, felt the harsh methods of russification policy. Harassment of Ukrainian language and culture were felt at all levels. In particular, in the sphere of education there was a deficit of the relevant textbooks and also lack of Ukrainian specialists. Meanwhile, according to the first nationwide census in 1897 on the territory of the Dnieper Ukraine, Ukrainian language was declared as a native by 17.8% of the total population. Odessa, which was on the fourth place in Russian Empire by the number of inhabitants, had five major language groups, including Ukrainians among others, who took the third place after Russians and Jews. It should be noted that the progressive community attempted to improve the situation. Political forces which were acting in Ukraine during 1917-1919, defended the Ukrainian national idea of the renaissance, and adopted a number of important decisions to protect Ukrainian culture. However, radical position of russified intellectuals on the South of Ukraine hampered their implementation, and the Ukrainian movement was too weak to achieve improvements. Thus, despite of the changes in the state and society, Ukrainian language had not become popular in Odessa. Citizens avoided its spreading deliberately. In accordance with a legal act, published in Odessa newspapers in January 1919, Ukrainian language tutorial in schools was considered as an optional. Most parents of Odessa Mariinska Gymnasium pupils were conservative about any fundamental changes in the educational process. Their actual attitude to Ukrainian language they had demonstrated when faced the choice of the Ukrainian language as one of the training courses for their children. The majority had opposed its studying, often without even understanding all the content of the subject. Obviously, the attitude to Ukrainian language was so negative that many of parents even did not go into explanations of refusal on behalf of their children learning the relevant subject. Especially surprising was the position of intellectuals, that should understand better than others the importance of language learning for their children development. However, they usually did not want or were afraid to change their own views contrary to the established imperial traditions. Thus, attempts to introduce Ukrainian language into the educational process in Odessa Mariinska Women's Gymnasium had not succeed. Such factors as popularity of Russian in Odessa and Russian-speaking origin of most girls certainly influenced the negative decision of their parents and guardians. Only optional teaching of Ukrainian was achieved. It was not the time to change the language of tutoring. ; В статье рассматривается состояние развития национального образования на Юге Украины в начале ХХ в., прослеживаются изменения в отрасли национального образования, связанные с деятельностью различных правительств в указанный период, показана популярность украинского языка в Одессе на примере одной из самых известных женских гимназий города – Мариинской.
