UICRI Ukrainian Institute of Conservative Research and Innovation

About the institute

The Ukrainian Institute for Conservative Research and Innovations is an information, analytical and educational platform for research and development of the Ukraine-centered position.

We create, research, and disseminate the national idea for revival and the future.

Ukraine’s modernity requires the rooting of Ukraine-centeredness. First and foremost, it is about a strong and powerful state that is focused on developing and protecting its own culture, education, science, and stimulating the development of entrepreneurial activity.

We are deeply convinced that Ukraine’s future can only be in the context of a Ukraine-centered idea.

Modern conservatism serves as a social immunity, protecting society from chaotic changes and preserving national sovereignty, family values, and economic stability. It supports cultural heritage, a free market with minimal state intervention, and believes in balanced development that harmoniously combines tradition with innovation to create a strong future.

Conservationists are as committed to preserving cultural heritage as they are to environmental stewardship, stressing the importance of each element to the health of society. Conservatives oppose cultural relativism, emphasizing the transmission of traditions for a strong future.

In economics, conservatives support the free market and minimal government intervention, similar to environmental self-regulation, believing that growth and prosperity are achieved by supporting entrepreneurship and innovation, helping to create jobs and increase welfare.

Conservatism provides stability, protects values and promotes economic development, demonstrating that tradition and innovation can coexist to create a strong future.

Whyis it crucial for Ukraine and Ukrainians to choose a conservative path of development now?

Time-tested traditions!

Conservatism, as we understand it, is always about traditions, but those that carry the highest spiritual values, high culture, and harmony of the physical and spiritual.

Traditions pass on the wisdom gained by ancestors, their experience, and a sense of uniqueness. In addition, every Ukrainian family and its individual members are well aware that traditions are what unite them, bring them closer together, and give them a sense of comfort and peace.

And this is exactly what modern Ukraine and all Ukrainians lack.

Family values

We are deeply convinced that family and family is what every person and the state as a whole should be guided by.

If we manage to defend the family’s primary right to the support of the state and society as a whole, we will be able to preserve the foundation of the nation’s sustainable development.

After all, the departure from traditional values, the so-called liberalization of ideas about family culture, and the adoption of foreign views that contradict the nature of things will inevitably lead to the fact that the backbone of the nation may weaken and simply fall. And the whole of Ukraine followed.

Protection against totalitarian and radical ideologies

Conservatism will always be on the side of the spiritual essence of man, his dignity and rights, which is something that any government and its leaders should respect.

Our task is to reveal in society a sense of the essence of human development and existence and, with the help of this knowledge, to develop immunity to all totalitarian and radical ideologies that most often manifest themselves through the political life of the country.

Spiritual values

We are an all-Ukrainian network of organizations and centers that live by the conservative idea and are engaged in the protection of human dignity and inalienable rights given to people at birth by the Creator.

The Christian heritage is our guideline and spiritual base, which strengthens the spirit of our nation and will allow it to become an ideological and
spiritually strong.

A sense of dignity and freedom

We stand for true freedom – freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom to express our national and religious
