The article highlights the main reasons for the decline of rural areas of Ukraine in the period 1991–2021, which are directly related to the seizure of power in independent Ukraine by hostile elements of the fifth pro-Russian column. These so-called governing bodies are constantly discriminating against Ukrainians’ ability to become an independent free people. Their activity or inaction undermines the Constitutional system of Ukraine. And only since 2015, the Ukrainian government under pressure from the people is taking a real course towards decentralization and the transition to full democracy.
The statistical data on the decentralization of power and the qualitative transition of our society to democratic forms of life are analyzed, based on the experience of European countries and the whole civilized world.
Recommendations on Constitutional changes in the area of decentralization have been formulated to ensure full implementation of the European Charter of Local Self-Government, transition to full democracy for the sake of ecologically balanced development of all territories and territorial communities of Ukraine.
The reform of the administrative-territorial structure should take place in order to provide a real opportunity for a person to receive the maximum number of services from the governing bodies of selfgovernment at each level of government. It is the person and the satisfaction of his needs that should be in the center of attention of his chosen leadership, which for the effective implementation of the functions entrusted to him will receive the necessary powers and at the same time bear full responsibility for implementing qualitative changes in communities.
