Між академічною наукою та краєзнавством: науково-організаційна діяльність Олександра Касименка щодо підготовки багатотомної „Історії міст і сіл УРСР”

Abstract

The paper deals with famous national historian, Doctor of Historical sciences and the Director of the Institute of History of the Ukr.SSR (1947-1964) Prof. Olexandr Kasymenko’s (1905-1971) contribution in the implementation of the unprecedented republican project: «History of the towns and villages of the Ukrainian SSR» in 26 volumes. On 29 May, 1962 the Communist Party of Ukraine adopted a resolution to prepare and publish the «History of the towns and villages of the Ukrainian SSR» in 26 volumes. The Main editorial board headed by the Deputy Chairman of the Ukr.SSR Council of Ministers Petro Tronko was established for that purpose. Olexandr Kasymenko (the project one of the initiators), was appointed its Deputy Head. His activity on that position has been mentioned in Prof. Petro Tronko, the Doctor’s of Historical sciences memoirs and partially described in the works of Natalia Zavalko, including her thesis for the Candidate of Historical sciences degree. In our paper of 2015 the national Historical Urban science formation on the given edition example has been analyzed. Archival documents found allow us taking a fresh look at Olexandr Kasymenko’s role in that sophisticated work. One can see three stages in the work chronology on the multivolume edition. The first one was the organizational and preparation work (1962 – spring 1964); the second one was writing essays and historical references, testing and scientific text editing of the volumes (spring 1964 – fall 1967); the third one was the «History of the towns and villages of the Ukrainian SSR» publication in separate volumes dedicated to each region of the Ukr.SSR and Kyiv city (1967 – 1974).
