Trying to be independent during the judgment steps, we also want to use the potential of history of Cambridge University origination. According to author"s vision, it is very similar to the processes described above. We underlined, that divided universities phenomenon is a result of geopolitical clash between Ukraine and Russia when it was necessary for people to evacuate form the territories with military activity to avoid the violence for having alternative opinion. The similar situation took place in Oxford according to the research of the famous historian of this institution Ross Anderson: "Successive popes in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries incited the mob against lepers, gays, Jews and other undesirables, in the process forming a culture of persecution of outgroups and minorities that has blighted Europe ever since. It was against this background that our founders fled Oxford in 1209 and settled in the newly chartered town of Cambridge. The townsfolk of Oxford had hanged two clerks for a murder of which they were apparently innocent; the king backed the townsmen, and the scholars dispersed for five years. Some of the refugees came to Cambridge, and established our university" [Anderson, 2009]. Thus, the history of European higher education contains the facts that moving form violence can became a fruitful possibility for university to build one"s own successful way.

Conclusions

The research of the problem of divided Ukrainian universities demonstrated the complexity of the procedure of evaluation of "paired" universities from the position of their authenticity. The easiest way was to judge them according to the principles of international law, marking evacuated universities as legal and declaring universities form uncontrolled territories illegal.

Avoiding this, we tried to find the heuristic natural science metaphor of describe the logic of this division.

We expertise the possibility to interpret university division process as cloning mechanism. According to this logic, evacuated universities seem like "clones" of "original" which stayed at the uncontrolled republics or annexed territories. The logic of "mitosis" postulates the equal status of both universities: the university produces two equal "daughtery" universities. From one hand, evacuated universities lost one"s campuses as well as part of students and stuff.

From the other hand, the universities at the uncontrolled territories accepted new values, which could contradict with the idea of university in general.

Author substantiated, that these natural science metaphoric approaches should be complemented by the ethic estimation through the fundamental axiological principles of "idea of University". According to Magna Charta Universitatum, autonomy of thinking, academic freedom, autonomy from political authority and economic power are the mentioned principles.

Divided Universities: The Postcolonial Experience of Contemporary Ukrainian Higher Education by Denys Svyrydenko

All these principles are violated by the institutions stayed on quasi-republics and annexed territory. The evacuated universities seem like bearers and active translators of fundamental values of the modern universities.

It is pity, but it looks that geopolitical clash between Ukraine and Russia passes to "frozen" stage. Thus, it is hard to predict the date when uncontrolled territories will join Ukraine again. The next big question rises concerning the content of complex procedures of the territories reintegration of the world-view level. It may happen that strengthened (after period of being a part of non-Ukrainian national state) postcolonial axiological orientations of the people will bring many contradictions to reintegration processes. These problems could be the subject of the series of future scientific researches. And the question of higher education system reintegration is also at the "order of the day". As a very minimum, Ukraine should actualize the potential of the researches for substantiating the national educational strategies directed on the actualization of Peace idea [Bazaluk, 2015a]. According to our opinion, the heuristic way for prevention of such tragic events is searching and implementation of the strategies for the overcoming of postcolonial (post-Soviet, post-totalitarian) heritage on the world-view horizon of Ukrainian people as well as socio-cultural landscape of Ukraine.

Roman Dodonov writes the next ideas concerning the potential of any futurological predicts at the field of divided universities reintegration: there is no granted safety for students and teachers till we hear the sounds of shots − the problem of divided universities has a lot of uncertain aspects to formulate the perspective of ones" future [Dodonov, 2015]. At the same time, remembering the historical experience of Cambridge University origination, we stand on optimistic positions concerning the future of evacuated universities.
