Abstract

The Objective of this research is to show the forms and methods of influence of soviet totalitarian regime on Ukrainian archeologists and museumists in mid 1920th. Soviets aimed at total control over the society from the very beginning of its foundation in Ukraine. Soviets were openly opposite to intellectuals. It was especially drastic in Ukraine as the majority of Ukrainian intellectuals were the active participants of the Ukrainian revolution. Also, total control was established over the particular intellectuals, who were known for their opposition to the new regime. Ideological pressure was active during the period of «Ukrainisation» in 1920th. From the beginning of the regime’s foundation in 1920th, repressive authorities were trying to control the intellectuals. For this «seksots» were used, people recruited among intellectuals or «inserted» there. From 1923 and beyond this system was evolving – informers were reporting as to the political views of professors and students, packages of information were formed about those, where notes of informers were saved. PolitBureau CPU have been considering multiple cases against Ukrainian intellectuals and its representatives. In 1923–1925th there were forced resignations of directors and employees of the most important museums of soviet Ukraine. In that period resigned the director of All-Ukrainian museum named after T. Shevchenko M. Bilyashivskii, Arts Museum of VUAN M. Makarenko, Poltava reginal museum M. Rudnytskiy, D. Yavornytskii in Katerynoslav was under pressure as well. The grounds for dismissal were connected to unproper performance of duties: unproper storage of artifacts, mismanagement. Also, the ground of insufficient «proletatrisation of museums» was used – thus the dismissals were on ideological grounds. Conclusions. In the middle of 1920th there were a couple of types of pressure on museumists and archaeologists: administrative, criminal, ideological, which are not uncommon to the repressions period. All that took place when the web of informers among the intellectuals was formed with the aim of control and influence.
