Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The actuality of social history of soviet society exists during a long time. Methodology of the history of everyday life – modern trend of world historiography is fruitful for investigating small social groups. Post-war life of disabled soldiers in soviet Ukraine requires considerable research using methods of everyday life history. Methodology of the everyday life history contains requirements of forming corresponding complex of historical sources. Archive documents of party-member origin and also the results of censorship of disabled soldiers’ personal correspondence have been used for studying disabled soldiers’ housing problem in early years after the war. Party and government leaders of the soviet Ukraine have taken measures in order to improve living conditions of disabled soldiers’ contingent. The part of disabled front-line soldiers has managed to solve their housing problem with the help of the state. However, thousands of demobilized because of their mutilation in the republic have been left without lodging or they have been in need of its improvement. In early years after the war so-called «months» for helping disabled soldiers have been practiced during which front-line soldiers’ living conditions have been improved by the community. In the countryside members of collective farms have built living accommodations for disabled soldiers. Local officials have often ignored disabled soldiers’ needs and haven’t taken responsibility for their actions. Even party documents contain notifications of the fact that some disabled soldiers together with their families have lived in dugouts or abandoned after military operations shelters. Indifference of the state and society to the front-line soldiers’ problem has made them complain about their fate to their close relatives and friends in letters. Сensorship of correspondence has given party and government leaders of the republic appropriate information about real social situation of Great Patriotic War disabled soldiers. Post-war daily routine has caused the feeling of despair and frustration.
