The role of sociocultural factors: economic, social, political and a talented person in the development of society is spiritual processes of the existence of mankind as a essential.

The macro level of sociocultural factors includes certain contribution to the development of the sphere but economic, social, political and spiritual processes of the also open up new paths in both scientific and life of a particular society.

Of course, these sociocultural factors concerns the personlityтАЩs living searches are not easy and must be carefully prepared. conditions of the individual, the state and characteristics There arises a question of studying talented scientistsтАЩ of the professional, social and spiritual processes of life environment in order to extrapolate the main factors into of specific groups (Kryvokon, 2007). In our opinion, it a personalityтАЩs development. is very useful to study the conditions and experience of Studying various societies, scientists came to the prominent scientistsтАЩ development. VernadskyтАЩs life and conclusion that the social environment affects the scientific path were studied by biographers and development of an individualтАЩs creative abilities and historians. In recent years there have been scientific potential. Features of interaction form certain works examining mainly his contribution to science.

Vernadsky had glorious ancestors who were devoted Father Ivan Vasylyovych (1821тАУ1884) was born in to Motherland and fought in B. KhmelnytskyтАЩs host for Kyiv. He graduated from the University of UkraineтАЩs independence and were in Zaporizhzhya Sich.

After the liquidation of the Zaporizhzhya Sich, he moved to Chernihiv province governorate. There he was elected a priest in a large village of Tserkovshchyna, Berezhansky district in Chernihiv governorate. V. Vernadsky wrote such lines about his great-grandfather: тАЬHe was a proud man, rather well- educated ... however, he was a notorious despot both in the family and in relations with othersтАЭ (Vernadsky, 1988a, p. 18). This was clearly manifested in relation to his son (V. I. VernadskyтАЩs grandfather) whom he wanted to force to become a priest or a military man. Grandfather, Vasyl Ivanovych Vernadsky, was a modest man and sought to become a doctor. For his dream he fled from home and came on foot to university in Moscow. There he wandered heavily for some time without money but subsequently made his way. Vasyl Ivanovych graduated from Moscow Military Medical Academy, received the title of military doctor. He also went through a large number of military campaigns in the armies of Suvorov and Kutuzov. During the war with Napoleon he was captured, and this had significant influence on him. However, he treated both Russians Figure 1. Ivan Vasylyovych Vernadsky (1821тАУ1884), and French in the hospital.

(see Figure 2). 28 ╤Аrint ISSN: 2617-2682; online ISSN: 2707-3637; DOI:10.26697/ijsa IJSA intelligentsia began to unite in amateur semi-legal organizations called communities. The community did not have specific programs and charters. All of them were united by the national Ukrainian idea on a democratic basis. Five years later the Vernadsky family moved to Kharkiv. This environment influenced the young Volodymyr and the formation of his worldview. Ivan Vernadsky (VolodymyrтАЩs father) maintained relations with prominent figures of Ukrainian and Russian culture, representatives of democratic thought, namely with Shevchenko, Granovsky, Lavrov, Kavelin, Solovyov, Bunge, Maksymovych and others. During this period, the Vernadskys were often visited by Professor of Kharkiv University Kachenovsky (1827тАУ 1872) who was a lawyer, historian, friend of the Vernadsky family, and by writer Alchevska. In his diary, Volodymyr Ivanovych recalled an interesting incident that occurred at their home: тАЬFather and Kachenovsky ... talked about the Garibaldians and the Franco-German war which I was interested in. Suddenly my father called Figure 2. Anna Petrivna Vernadska (1837тАУ1898), me and told Kachenovsky: тАЬMy father thought that I mother. would live to see the constitution, but I donтАЩt think so, Vernadsky (1988b, p. 22) wrote: тАЬMy mother was born but IтАЩm sure that Volodya will live in a free countryтАЭ in Kyiv in a landownerтАЩs family which already consisted (Vernadsky, 2010, p. 247). almost exclusively of the military. Her father, an Volodymyr Ivanovych spent almost eight years in artillery general, was a serviceman but he was a good Kharkiv (1868тАУ1876). During these very years that man, judging by the stories, an original type of the old V. VernadskyтАЩs attraction to Ukrainian culture Ukrainian Cossacks (he spoke mainly Ukrainian)тАЭ. developed.

Subsequently she came to Petersburg, where she also gave lessons and participated in the famous choir of composer Balakirev ...тАЭ. The family of Anna Petrivna also had Polish roots. V. Vernadsky believed that parents in their families felt the enormous influence of Polish culture. This was seen in observance of the customs of the holidays of Right-Bank Ukraine which were followed by the mother of Volodymyr Ivanovych, in Polish dishes prepared by grandmother (Onyshchenko, 2011). Vernadsky (1988b, p. 22) described in detail the events with prominent figures of that time. In particular, he noticed that his motherтАЩs uncle, Gulak, was a member and тАЬone of the leaders of the secret Ukrainian society тАУ Cyril and Methodius, headed by Shevchenko, Kostomarov and othersтАЭ. Volodymyr Vernadsky was born in 1863 in St. Petersburg. At this period the leading figures of the Cyril and Methodius Society returned from exile and continued their national activities in the cultural and educational movement.

Oldenburgs, Grevs, Krasnov, Shakhovsky and others he created a liberal orientation circle of the Priyutino Brotherhood. Like some other members of the circle, V. Vernadsky strove for public education, collaborated in the Posrednik publishing house, in the St. Petersburg Literacy Committee. Having entered the society, V. Vernadsky got the opportunity to communicate with future scientists, representatives of various sciences. There Vernadsky met Shevyrev, Lukashevych, Vodovozov, Ulyanov. In the circle for the study of literature for the people he developed a strong friendship with Krasnov, S. and F. Oldenburg, Shakhovsky, Kornilov, Grevs and others (see Figure 5). Figure 4. The former building of the First Gymnasium in Kharkiv. In 1876, after the family moved to St. Petersburg, Volodymyr entered the third grade of the gymnasium. And in 1881 he finishes it the ninth in the outstanding graduation. Among the graduates of the gymnasium were Professor Krasnov, physicist Tyurin and others. But there were sad circumstances: six months before thegraduation his father suffered a second stroke and he gradually faded away. During the last six months Volodymyr Ivanovych did not attend gymnasium because he took care of his father together with his mother. Despite this, the same year he entered St. Petersburg University. Teaching scientists inspired him deeply, and at the Figure 5.

At the center his ideas of goodness and truth. V. Vernadsky sincerely of his natural science and philosophical interests is the admired Leo TolstoyтАЩs teachings and shared many of his development of a holistic doctrine of the biosphere, doubts. However, Leo Tolstoy did not believe that living matter (which creates the EarthтАЩs shell) and the science could help man find the тАЬmeaning of lifeтАЭ, to evolution of the biosphere into the noosphere in which come to terms with the inevitability of death, to justify the human mind and activity, scientific thought become high moral principles. It is unlikely that such ideas were a determining factor in development, a powerful force close to V. Vernadsky. Unlike Tolstoy, he was comparable in its influence on nature with geological convinced of scientific knowledge all his life and strove processes. VernadskyтАЩs doctrine on the relationship to find an answer to many questions of being based on a between nature and society influenced the formation of logical analysis of facts and true knowledge about the modern environmental consciousness. world and man (Balandin, 1979). V. Vernadsky wrote in his diary: тАЬWe had L. N. Tolstoy тАУ we had a long Discussion conversation with him about ideas, the science, etc. He The growth period of Vernadsky during the second half said that he was considered a mystic, but he was rather of the 19th century falls on the time of the intensification a mystic. And I would be glad to be one but skepticism of the political consciousness of progressive public prevents me from this. I think that TolstoyтАЩs doctrine is figures, the active development of industry, the abolition much deeper than it seemed to me at the beginning. And of serfdom, economic growth, the development of this depth was in the following: 1) the basis of life is the culture, the awakening of Ukrainian national thought, search for truth, and 2) the real task is to express this populism, as well as the prohibition of teaching in truth without any concessionsтАЭ (Vernadsky, 1988a, Ukrainian, printing books in Ukrainian and the p. 7). authoritiesтАЩ attempts to level Ukrainian national Studying in his second year, V. Vernadsky met officer traditions. These factors influenced the progressive Pokhitonov and had friendly relations with him. He was strata of the society to which the Vernadsky family a member of the underground military organization belonged. Narodna Volya. However, it is not known for sure if If we compare the economic and social situation of the Volodymyr Ivanovych knew about this. However, family in the 19th century, it depended on which layer Pokhitonov familiarized Vernadsky with illegal of society the family belonged to. The Vernadsky family literature. Later, Volodymyr Ivanovych made an entry came from a noble kin. It should be noted that the family in his diary about Pokhitonov: тАЬHe left an indelible mark is a rather closed circle of people. However, at the same on my life and had a great influence on my worldview time, it is an integral institution of the life of society. The ... I did not know a better person, deeper mind, kinder family influences relations in society, the nature of all heart, and there was no person who had bigger influence processes of social life. V. I. VernadskyтАЩs parents had on me, excluding my father and uncle E. M. Korolenko quite progressive views on the development of society, who taught his nephew to love to natureтАЭ (Mochalov, the economy and the socio-political situation as a whole. 1982, p. 33). So, Volodymyr Vernadsky had the opportunity to get the best education both at home and abroad. Also, the views of the parents influenced the formation of VernadskyтАЩs personality. In the Vernadsky family dominated the cult of the Decembrists and a negative attitude towards autocracy and serfdom. The numerical circle of progressive figures in science, economics, politics, art, etc., influenced the development of the personality of Volodymyr Ivanovych. He was fond of scientific activity but believed that a scientist cannot stand aloof from public life, be outside of it. So, V. Vernadsky, like his father, was actively engaged in scientific and social activities. In his student years, the outstanding scientists Mendeleev, Dokuchaev and the famous writer Tolstoy had the greatest influence on shaping VernadskyтАЩs views. Also, his teachers, among whom also were outstanding scientists Beketov, Butlerov, Sechenov and others, inspired him to research. Volodymyr Vernadsky inherited a broad scientific approach and high ethical Figure 6. Volodymyr Ivanovych Vernadsky. standards. From the beginning of the 20th century, V.
