Modern scientific understanding and interpretation of Lesya Ukrainka's works, and their popularization using journalistic broadcasting, is a powerful resource that forms the intellectual, moral, and aesthetic framework of national culture. Relevance of the study. Social media and electronic information resources provide access to diaspora documents and help to reconsider the role and significance of Lesya Ukrainka's creative heritage in the history of Ukrainian culture and formation of a civil society. The purpose of the study is to identify the representation of foreign Lesya studies content in the electronic information space. Methodology. The research methodology consists of analysis, synthesis, grouping, synchronous section, statistical, and logical generalizations, which made it possible to establish the representativeness and topics of publications about Lesya Ukrainka in the electronic information space. To form the analytical base of the research and statistical generalizations, online bibliographic resources, YouTube resources and Internet publications were used. Results. By the documentary and factual base of the electronic information space regarding the achievements of diaspora Lesya studies for 1940-2020, a set of publications belonging to different types was identified: works of poets, scientific works, memoirs, journalistic reports. The localization of centers of publishing activity in Lesya studies abroad was established.

Conclusions. The globality of the electronic information space contributes to the breaking down of territorial barriers, the development of the national scientific and cultural information space, and expands the boundaries of awareness of the unity of the Ukrainian national space. The popularization of Lesya Ukrainka's creative heritage in social media contributes to the preservation of national identity based on the examples of highly intellectual literature, culture, science, and the formation of a pro-European, humanistic society.
