The article is devoted to the issue of the political, legal and historical dimensions of the provision of international technical assistance by civil society. At the same time, since international technical assistance will become an important element of the post-war revival of Ukraine, the subject of which will be the world civil society, then, in these conditions, the issue of studying the role of civil society in this area becomes extremely relevant. Thus, the purpose of this article is to study the political, legal and historical dimensions of the functioning of civil society as a subject of providing international technical assistance. The article substantiates that the allocation of five basic models of interaction between the state and civil society becomes most successful when we consider the state and civil society as categorical phenomena. It is found out that, historically, Ukraine has tested all five models on its territory: anarchic, liberal, authoritarian, totalitarian and democratic. It is proved that historically, the first model of interaction between the state and civil society that existed in our country was anarchic. It is noted that both the Cossacks, the Chumaks, and the Kobzars were formed outside the influence of the states that existed at that time, where the Ukrainian lands were located. The article concludes that the difference between the famine of 1921-1923 and the Holodomor of 1932-1933 lies precisely in the attitude of Soviet and world civil society to these events. It is emphasized that in the conditions of a democratic model of interaction between the state and civil society, the latter is actively involved in the aforementioned processes at its own discretion, although not without the assistance of the state. It is found that the most powerful manifestation of the provision of international technical assistance by civil society in Ukraine was the emergence of the UNITED24 fundraising platform. The practical value of the work lies in the need to create legal foundations for the functioning of civil society as a subject of assistance, including that of an international and technical nature.
