Journal Title: Матеріали і дослідження з археології Прикарпаття і Волині - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue
Abstract
The documents about the history of the State Preserve “Olbia” in 1938, notably items in local newspapers, a resolution, minutes, a statement, the findings of the committee of Mykolaiv Regional education authority of People's commissariat (Ministry) of Education of UkrSSR for examination of the preserve, are introduced for scientific use. The biography of Varvara Pora-Leonovych, who since 1931 up to 1938 had been heading the preserve, is examined. The mentioned materials are the grounds to ascertain that the first decade of making and development of the preserve “Olbia” was being held under complicated circumstances of limited financing and human resources deficit. Annihilation of the intellectual community fell into decay of the preserve and turned “Olbia” into a manipulation object for local authority (Odesa and Mykolaiv) to defend their interests. These processes were taken place in a typical totalitarian atmosphere with intimidation, persecution and usage of pure demagogic arguments for construction “right” preconceived public opinion through the instrumentality of the press and devastating criticism.
