This article is dedicated to the investigation of the fundamental philosophical values which lead the activity of the self-government deputies in the Southern Ukraine region. A complex and ambiguous process of the new socio-cultural reality formation took place at the end of 18th century. The South of Ukraine is considered as the frontier area where the modern Western European, family- protective Ukrainian and bureaucratic Russian traditions come into cross-cultural collaboration. Their close intermingling and contact provided a basis for shaping the new philosophy, the system of values, stereotypes, mentality and awareness of the local elites. The South of Ukraine became a modern region. That enabled to understand the further necessity to intensify the process of decentralization, democratization and autonomization of the local government. The conclusion has been done as to the values the present day politicians should adopt.
