Abstract

The problem of preservation and return of cultural valuables is one of the most delicate and difficult areas of international cooperation. The issue of restitution is relevant for many countries around the world, in particular for Ukraine, which for various reasons has lost a significant amount of its cultural heritage. The article touches upon the general aspects of the problem of restitution, highlights the features of this process in modern Ukraine, the possibility of using the experience of the Republic of Poland in the process of returning objects of Ukrainian cultural heritage. Preservation of the cultural heritage of political emigration, private collections of individuals and families stored in the archives and museums of other countries remains relevant for modern Ukraine. There is the urgent problem of introducing the legal term “restitution of cultural valuables” into the legal field of Ukraine and strengthening control over the movement, theft of cultural heritage objects, etc.
