The Beginning of the Sovietization of Lviv Science: On the Biography of Stefan Jampolski, the First Postwar Director of the Lviv Polytechnic Institute

Summary/Abstract: Tetâna Vergeles, Z pìstoletom u šuhlâdì. 1944–1953: čas Stefana Âmpol’s’kogo u L’vìvs’kìj polìtehnìcì, vidavnictvo L’vìvs’koï polìtehnìki, L’vìv 2024, ss. 271The article offers a critical analysis of a monograph on the life and work of Stefan Jampolski, the first postwar director (rector) of the Lviv Polytechnic Institute, which was established on the basis of the former Lviv Polytechnic. The monograph covers the period from 1944 to 1953, marked by the harshest years of Stalinism, during which higher education underwent profound organizational and ideological transformations. Jampolski, the central figure of Vergeles’s study, was therefore one of the agents who consolidated the new Soviet order in Lviv. The article focuses primarily on the gaps in the source material and selected substantive issues concerning the interpretation of the available research. The author of the monograph portrays Jampolski almost exclusively as an outstanding scholar and organizer, without sufficiently considering the broader political and social circumstances in which he served as director of the Lviv Polytechnic Institute.
