Abstract
Rereading the first dated work of Ukrainian literature during the Russian-Ukrainian war is especially valuable because it proves our strength. This research is relevant as drawing attention to ways of addressing significant social needs a thousand years ago allows us to identify parallels with modern public speech and rhetorical practices in the political sphere. The main scientific problem that the author tries to highlight in this article concerns the correlation of rhetoric (the art of public speaking) and poetics (the system of creative principles of the author or era) in the study of the Sermon on Law and Grace, most likely created by Ilarion, Metropolitan of Kyiv. The article aims to outline the sources we should use to learn the poetics and rhetoric of the Sermon as a medieval work. The rhetoric and the poetic of the Sermon grow out of the Judeo-Christian tradition (unthinkable without ancient influences), then enriched by Byzantine oratory, but most closely related to evangelical preaching and the liturgical tradition of Kyivan Rus.
