ПОЛІТИКО-ПРАВОВИЙ КОНТРОЛЬ ТА БОРОТЬБА З “БУРЖУАЗНИМ НАЦІОНАЛІЗМОМ” В УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ ІСТОРИЧНІЙ НАУЦІ (40-50-ТІ РОКИ ХХ СТ.)
POLITICAL-LEGAL CONTROL AND THE FIGHT AGAINST "BOURGEOIS NATIONALISM" IN UKRAINIAN HISTORICAL SCIENCE (40-50S OF XX CENTURY)

Summary/Abstract: In today's context, the revival of national historical memory is of particular importance. One of the characteristic phenomena of social and political life in the postwar years was the increasing pressure of the totalitarian system on the scientific sphere. Powerful methods of governing science were approved, the purpose of which was to guarantee the domination of Stalin's doctrine, to secure the secrecy of the scientific sphere, to isolate it from the world scientific process. The party and administrative bodies needed not ideological scientific research, but ideological works designed to refute the ideological and theoretical foundations of the Ukrainian national liberation movement. Moreover, considering the humanitarian scholars as "partisan parties", the regime sought to maximize their use in propaganda activities, involved in speeches at various pro-Soviet events, on the radio, in the press, to debunk the so-called "Ukrainian bourgeois nationalism." The Ukrainian political intelligentsia's departure from class positions has been sought to be found among historians by party structures of Ukraine, however, the government has focused its attention on working with the intelligentsia of the western regions of Ukraine, which have been subjected to particular pressure by the authorities.
