Sharipova L. Polonisation and all that, or religious identity and cultural change in Ruthenia: the Union of Lublin and the myths of "polonisation"Section: Studies in Special Historical Disciplines Abstract: The article presents a review of an obsolete historiographic statement saying that an ultimate aftermath of the Union of Lublin signed in Poland in 1569, which caused the incorporation of Ukrainian lands of Grand Duchy of Lithuania to the Kingdom of Poland, was the forced polonisation of Orthodox people. As way of replacement for this oversimplified scheme, grounded on Ukrainian populist historiography of the 19th ct., complemented with the elements of Polish nationalistic and Russian imperial historiographic traditions, the author presents a new model, based on an assimilation formula. According to the formula, Orthodox szlachta people conversion to Protestantism and later to Catholicism initiated their loss of self-identification with Ukraine-Ruthenia cultural space. The process intensified as the Orthodox Church lost its legitimate status after the Church Union of Brest of 1596 and finished with an ultimate merger of this social group with the Polish Catholic elite in the early 17th century Keywords: historiography, Union of Lublin of 1569, Church Union of Brest of 1596, polonisation, religious conversion, self-identification Author(s) citation:

Dobrovolska Viktoriya, Kalinina-Symonchuk Yuliya Criteria and priorities for selecting objects of historical and cultural documentary heritage for digitizationSection: Information Resource of Cultural Heritage Abstract: The purpose of this work is to identify and generalize the criteria for selecting historical and cultural documentary heritage objects for digitization and further preservation and providing access for users. The research methodology consists of applying general scientific and special methods, in particular, the system approach, analysis, synthesis, logical method, and visualization of research results. The scientific novelty of the work lies in identifying different approaches and a developed system of criteria and priorities, generalizing these criteria for selecting historical and cultural documentary heritage objects for digitization and the conditions to be taken into account, as well as the need for a coordinated position of various departments in this direction, attracting official expertise to determine the sequence and priorities to avoid duplication of digitization. Conclusions. The selection of objects of historical and cultural documentary heritage for digitization is a task that must maintain a balance between the national significance of the funds for the history of national states and the history of mankind, the user's requests and the task of preserving the funds. Digitization offers significant benefits to users of digital cultural resources. The main criteria for selecting objects for digitization are: value, uniqueness, and rarity of documents; documents related to objects of national heritage; documents that have research value; and documents that have an unsatisfactory physical condition; documents that threaten to lose information; documents in high demand and publications that are available in limited quantities. The main goal of selecting cultural heritage objects for digitization is to promote the establishment of Ukrainian identity, the introduction of digital objects of national memory of Ukraine and world heritage into a wide social circulation, and the integration of various Ukrainian digital cultural information resources into a single information system. Keywords: objects of historical and cultural documentary heritage, digitization, digital resources, preservation of cultural heritage. Author(s) citation:

Kashevarova Nataliia Documents of the Main Office for Science of the Rosenberg Office as Sources on the Ideological Component of Nazi Policy in the Occupied Territory of Eastern Europe during World War IIAbstract: The purpose of the research is to characterize the documents of the Main Office for Science (German: Haupamt Wissenschaft) by the Commissioner of the Fuehrer for the Supervision of the Entire Intellectual and Ideo-logical Schooling and Training of the NSDAP (German: Beauftragter des Führers für die Überwachung der gesamten geistigen und weltanschaulichen Schulung und Erziehung der NSDAP, and related materials of A. Rosenberg’s other structures as the sources on the ideological component of the Third Reich’s struggle against Bolshevism and their significance for information or ideological component of the Nazi occupation policy in the occupied territo-ries of Eastern Europe. The research methodology consists of historical-archival, historical-comparative research methods, source analysis methods. The scientific novelty is determined by the fact that the materials of the Rosenberg Office and the documents of the Main Office for Science, in particular, have not yet been the subject of a separate comprehensive scientific archival and source review for their possible use as the historical sources on the ideological component of Nazi policy, vision of connection between science and ideology, participation of the Main Office for Science in the so-called «ideological struggle» against Bolshevism, collection of scientific informa-tion in the occupied territories of Eastern Europe, in particular, the USSR. Although these documents are familiar to German researchers, the latter used them as the sources to determine the Rosenberg Office›s place in the NSDAP system and its significance for domestic party policy in the Third Reich. Conclusions. The analysis of the documents from the Main Office for Science of the Rosenberg Office allows us to conclude that a number of his documents for 1942–1945, as well as related documents of the Special Staff Science (German: Sonderstab Wissenschaft), which represented the interests of the department at the Special Command Force of Reichsleiter Alfred Rosenberg orReichsleiter Rosenberg Taskforce (German: Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg), contain the interesting and valuable information not only on the connection between National Socialist ideology and science but also on the collection and processing of various information about the state of science in the Soviet Union, especially the materials of scientific content, consolidated data about state of Soviet scientific institutions during the Nazi occupation, etc. This information has so far been little known or not introduced into scientific circulation at all, but it may be useful to researchers of the history of World War II. Keywords: World War II, Main Office for Science by the Commissioner of the Fuehrer for the Supervision of the Entire Intellectual and Ideological Schooling and Training of the NSDAP, Special Staff Science, Reichsleiter Rosenberg Taskforce, ideology, propaganda, Bolshevism.

Batanova Tetiana Documents about the activity of the Jewish political parties in the Ukrainian Central Rada in Kyiv archives and the collection of Judaica Department of V. I. VernadskyiAbstract: The aim of the research is to review custodial history, structure and content of documents about the activity of five Jewish political parties in the Ukrainian Central Rada (1917–1918), which are now preserved in several Kyiv state archives (the Central State Archives of Public Organizations of Ukraine, the Central State Archives of Supreme Bodies of Power and Government of Ukraine, the State Archives of Kyiv Region) and Judaica Department of V. I. Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine.The methodology of the research includes historical-chronological, historical-systematic, and historical-typological approaches. The aforementioned methodological approaches allow to trace the complicated custodial history of the complex of documents and to determine structure, content,and types of documents. The scientific novelty of the paper. The analysis of documents of the Jewish political parties as a complex introduces rare documents from the history of the Jewish representation in the Ukrainian Central Rada and revolutionary period in Ukraine into the scientific circulation, also covers development of archival studies, establishment of new archives and principles of archival work. Conclusions. The documents of five Jewish political parties about their activity in the Ukrainian Central Rada (1917–1918) are now distributed in several Kyiv state archives (the Central State Archives of Public Organizations of Ukraine, the Central State Archives of Supreme Bodies of Power and Government of Ukraine, the State Archives of Kyiv Region) and Judaica Department of V. I. Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine. Analyzing their custodial history, structure and content, it might be argued that the majority of the documents used to be one complex, a part of one collection from Kultur-lige archives. The further custodial history of these documents might be topic for case study in history of Soviet archival institutions, collections and archival studies in general.

Popova Tatiana "The Siberian Ladder" in Slavonic writingSection: Studies of Archival and Book Fonds Abstract: The aim of the research. The aim of the research is to draw specialists’ attention to the manuscripts of themonument of Slavic literature of the 17th century, known in science as the «Siberian Ladder», the author of whichis traditionally considered to be the Siberian Metropolitan Filofey Leshchinsky. The methodology of the study.The main research method is the linguistic-textological method of analyzing manuscripts. In addition, descriptiveand statistical methods of material analysis are used in the research. The scientific novelty. The article is the firstto express the hypothesis that the author of the «Siberian Ladder» book may be a monk who lived at the end ofthe 17th century in one of the Kyiv monasteries, since the oldest manuscripts of the monument were in use in Kyiv.A systematized updated information on the corpus of manuscripts with the text of «Siberian Ladder» is given. Achronological list of codes with the text of the monument is attached to the article. A total of 32 manuscripts withthe text are named. This list includes 4 books, the fate of which is unknown, with the aim of the possible discoveryof these manuscripts in the future. 14 of the 28 books that have survived nowadays are kept in the collections of theInstitute of Manuscripts of the Library of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine: in the collection of the Kyiv-PecherskLavra (10), in the collection of Saint Sophia Cathedral (2), in the collection of Kyiv Spiritual Academy (1) and in thecollection of Mykolaivskyi monastery (1). In addition, manuscripts with the text of the «Siberian Ladder» are in thecollections of Russia (5), Romania (4), Greece (3), Lithuania (1) and Belarus (1). Conclusions. It is necessary to carryout a thorough comprehensive historical and philological analysis of the oldest Kyiv manuscripts with the text ofthe «Siberian Ladder». As a result of this analysis, the hypothesis stated in the article about the creation of a bookin a Kyiv monastery by one of the monks of this monastery may be confirmed (perhaps the name of this monk willalso be found). In this case, the opinion established in science that the author of the work was Metropolitan FilofeyLeshchinsky can be debunked. On the other hand, it is necessary to study the biography of Filofey Leshchinsky (theKyiv period of his life) carefully. As a result of this analysis, the hypothesis that the «Siberian Ladder» belongs toMetropolitan Filofey may be confirmed. Keywords: «Siberian Ladder», Filofey Leshchinsky, «Ladder» of John Climacus, manuscript collections, OldRussian literature. Author(s) citation:

Dobrolyubska Yuliya, Prysiazhniuk Oleksii Old print by Mark Fabius Quintilian from the library of the K. D. Ushynsky South Ukrainian National Pedagogical UniversitySection: Studies of Archival and Book Fonds Abstract: The aim of the work is to analyze the historical context of the origin and content of the legacy of Marc Fabius Quintilian on the basis of the invented old print «Instructions to the Orator» in 1665. The research methodology is a set of principles of historicism, objectivity, systematics. The main research methods are historiographical and bibliographic, as well as the method of historical and bibliological and terminological analysis. The scientific novelty of the topic lies, first of all, in the formulation of the problem of scientific research of old prints of the funds of small libraries of Ukraine, which often keep in their bookstores rare and valuable publications. Such studies make it possible to identify gaps and identify promising areas for further research. Significant ideology of the library storage system during the Soviet era, low level of proficiency in classical languages and even the languages of European countries of library staff sometimes led to almost complete loss of outstanding copies of human memory from scientific and educational circulation. The figure of Mark Fabius Quintilian has rarely been the subject of historical research. «Instructions to the Orator», the main and only authentic work of Quintilian, which has survived to our time, has a strong technical focus and provides rich material, especially to classic philologists, historians of pedagogy and rhetoric. However, this material does not exhaust the content of «Instructions to the Orator». Many of the plots of Quintilian's major work have a historical context and political coloration and are of great interest to researchers. Conclusions: «Instructions to the Orator» differs from the usual textbook on rhetoric in that Quintilian proclaims his goal not only to teach the technique of eloquence, but also to educate a perfect speaker. The fruit of eloquence, according to Quintilian, a true speaker should see not in selfishness or payment, but in himself, in his knowledge and nobility of thought. Such a position is natural in the framework of normative policy ideas about the free activity of a citizen in the public field. Thus, although in a somewhat modernized form, Quintilian gives all his advantages to the polis ideal of the speaker. Keywords: old print, rhetoric, oratory, Mark Fabius Quintilian, recitations, funds, catalogs. Author(s) citation:

Skrypnyk Petro Posters collection of agricultural production from fonds of Fine Arts Department of Institute of Book Studies of V. I. Vernadskyi National Library of UkraineSection: History of Book Collections and Gatherings Abstract: The aim of the research . The article displays the processes of agricultural production in Ukraineas reflected in visual media, posters in particular. In contrast with the vast majority of researchers who viewed posters as an effective means of indoctrinating the society, the author states that they also playedan essential role in the development of country’s productive forces. With certain reservations, these can beconsidered as poster witnesses providing the visual evidence of the Ukrainian history of the 1920-ies. The research methodology is based on the method of comparative analysis in the presentation of socio-political processes in Ukraine in the period mentioned. Scientific novelty of the research consists in re-considering the principal postulates of the Soviet historiography of the 1920-ies with reliance on posters as visual information sources. The viewpoint that under the influence of Bolshevik propaganda the Ukrainian citizens unanimously started building a new society is contrary to actual facts. Without denyingthe effect of propaganda on social life, the author stresses the necessity of a more balanced approach to the processes that took place in the critical periods of Ukrainian history. In particular, attention should bedrawn to the repressive measures of Soviet authorities against the prevailing majority of Ukraine’s population. This research is carried out in an alternative direction of studying the socio-political history of Ukraine in the 1920-ies. Conclusions. The analysis of the posters examined has shown that those concerned with agricultural production played not a marginal, but, probably, even a major part in the growth of Ukrainian peasants’ self-consciousness as compared with political posters. New technological ideas and the methods of their implementation, which posters presented, rather than a stock of stereotype communist slogans, played the decisive role in the rise of agricultural production in Ukraine. Skillfully composed and masterfully made, they, on the one hand, became the pieces of figurative art and, on the other, – an ideal means of communication in the milieu of semi-literate rural citizens. They also are an essential supplement to the textual history of the Ukrainian agriculture of the 1920-ies. Keywords: poster, poster collection, visualization of scientific studies, agricultural production posters. Author(s) citation:

The research methodologyis based on scientific principles of historicism, objectivity, and systematicity, represented by historical-comparative and historical-archival methods, as well as methods of source analysis. The scientific novelty. The documents of the Rosenberg Office as a complete documentary complex have not yet been the subject of scientific research, although some historians have used these documents as sources for the history of National Socialism, A. Rosenberg’s biographical portrait, but they were not considered as sources for the ideological component of the Nazi occupation policy. Conclusions. A brief analysis of the documents of the Rosenberg Office allows us to conclude that these documents are valuable sources for studying the history of the development of the National Socialism ideology and itsinfluence through the NSDAP system. Among them, there are plans, orders, instructions, reflecting objectives and structure of the Rosenberg Office, functionsof its departments, ideological materialson anti-Semitism, Bolshevism, religion, as well as reference materialson National Socialist figures in the field of culture.

Ignatenko Yevgeniya Moldavian and Ukrainian-Belarusian church chant traditions: common repertoire as a fact of interactionSection: Studies of Archival and Book Fonds Abstract: The goal of the research. Our re cent attribution of kalophonic Greek chants from Ukrainian and Belarusian staff-notated manuscripts of the late 16th–18th centuries proved their Eastern origin and the fact of borrowing. The question arises where Ukrainian and Belarusian singers mastered Greek-Byzantine chant. It is logical to assume that the Greek repertoire appeared thanks to Ukrainian-Moldavian contacts, since the Moldavian chant tradition, which flourished in the 16th century, is based on the Byzantine one. The works of Greek-Byzantine composers make up most of the repertoire of the 16th century Moldavian manuscripts. The goal of the research is to compare the Greek repertoire of Moldavian and Ukrainian-Belarusian musical manuscripts and to define the peculiarities of its fixation in Middle Byzantine and Kyiv staff notations. Methodology. A comparative method of studying Greek-Byzantine, Moldavian and Ukrainian-Belarusian musical manuscripts is used. Scientific novelty. It has been found out that kalophonic works of Greek-Byzantine composers, written down in the Ukrainian and Belarusian staff-notated Heirmologia of the late 16th–18th centuries, are presented in the Moldavian Anthologies of the16th century. Also, in Ukrainian and Belarusian manuscripts, we managed to authorize the Greek-language Cherubic song of the plagal 1st mode of the out standing Moldavian composer Evstatie, the Protopsaltes of Putna (ca. †1546). Conclusions. The common Greek repertoire of Moldavian and Ukrainian Belarusian manuscripts, as well as the work of Evstatie, recorded in Ukrainian and Belarusian Heirmologia, testify to the direct connection of Moldavian and Ukrainian-Belarusian church chant traditions and prove that the 16th century Moldavian musical school became an intermediary in the involvement of Ukrainian singers in the Greek-Byzantine chant tradition and had a powerful influence on the development and renewal of Ukrainian and Belarusian church chant in the late 16th–17th centuries. Keywords: Ukrainian-Belarusian church chant tradition, Moldavian church chant tradition, staff-notated Heirmologia, Moldavian musical Anthologies, common Greek repertoire, kalophonic chant, Middle Byzantine notation, Kyiv notation, musical exegesis, Evstatie, protopsaltes of the Putna monastery.

Zelinska Nadiya, Kapral Iryna, Astaptseva Khrystyna Section: Studies in Spesial Historical Disciplines Abstract: The purpose of the research is to reveal the effective practices of Galician researchers and publishers from the 1920s -1930s, representatives of the Shevchenko Scientific Society and the largest publishing concern in inter war Galicia "Ukrainska Presa [Ukrainian Press]" in their joint efforts to enhance the cultural and educational level of Ukrainians by deepening their knowledge in the field of history through the publication of editions for the mass audience. The research methodology is based on the application of historical, chronological, retrospective, and partially biographical methods, which, in conjunction with editorial analysis methods, allowed for the reconstruction of the original approach of the publishers of the "Ukrainska Presa" concern to the processing and publication of complex content texts intended for an unprepared reader. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the exploration of lesser-known aspects of collaboration between Galician historians in the 1920s -1930s and representatives of the contemporary publishing business. The result of this collaboration includes the publication of the first Ukrainian translations of chronicles from the Princely era. Conclusions. The collaboration between researchers from the Shevchenko Scientific Society and representatives of the publishing concern "Ukrainska Presa", who accurately perceived and addressed the contemporary readership demand, resulted in the publication of the first translations of chronicles from the Princely era into modern Ukrainian. The inclusion of the Galician-Volhynian Chronicle and the Tale of Bygone Years in the popular "Ukrainska Biblioteka [Ukrainian Library]" contributed to their widespread dissemination among the Galician Ukrainian community, playing a role in patriotic education. The experience of concern serves as a reminder to modern Ukrainian publishers that historical works should be a part of the publishing repertoire and the book market. This helps deepen knowledge and shapes in society accurate, research-backed understanding of its own history. Keywords: Ukrainian Book Publishing in the Interwar Period, Galician-Volhynian Chronicle, Tale of Bygone Years, "Ukrainska Presa" concern, Ivan Tyktor, Theophil Kostruba, Ivan Krypiakevych, Vasyl Pachovskyi, "Ukrainska Biblioteka", newspaper "Nash Prapor", scientific reference apparatus of the publication.
