In the region, there were many museum institutions, which preserved and popularized the historical and cultural heritage of the peoples who have inhabited the territory of Halychyna. It was investigated that among the Ukrainian museums the most powerful were the National Museum in Lviv which had been founded in 1905 by the initiative of Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky and the Museum of the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv (NTSh Museum). For more than three decades, both institutions have replenished their repositories with respectable ethnographic collections and artifacts.\u0000A drastic change in the situation after September 17, 1939, is demonstrated. Soviet occupation authorities conducted a detailed audit of all museums in Lviv and carried out their large-scale reorganization, in particular, of the entire ethnographic collections of the NTSh Museum in Lviv, the Dzieduszycki Museum, the City Ethnographic and Arts and Crafts Museums, and the Lubomyrski Museum. The Lviv State Ethnographic Museum was established based on their ethnographic collections. From now on, all museum institutions in Halychyna had to serve the ideological needs of the totalitarian machine of Soviet propaganda.\u0000Due to the analysis of archival material from the State Archives of Lviv Region (DALO), the main directions of the Ethnographic Museum's activity and its gradual ideologizing, which manifested itself in the priority of Bolshevik propaganda, are analyzed. For instance, exhibitions, lectures, and exposition ensembles forming, organized by the Museum during the end of 1939 and the first half of 1941 strictly corresponded to the so-called «Marxist-Leninist» ideology and a «class» approach. All his public activities were controlled by the relevant party-ideological institutions and party officials. After the Nazi occupation of 1941–1944, the Lviv State Ethnographic Museum returned to the Soviet Bolshevik propaganda reality. Thus, it was stated that the events of the autumn of 1939, related to the occupation of Western Ukraine by the Soviet Union and the implementation of Bolshevism, radically changed the museum landscape of Lviv. Most of the museum collections were disbanded by the new Soviet government and new museums were created on their basis – the main task of which from now on was to promote the so-called «Marxist-Leninist» approach.\u0000\u0000Keywords\u0000museum, occupation, propaganda, Lviv State Ethnographic Museum","PeriodicalId":112217,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary era","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122027902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His close cooperation with the Ukrainian Socialist Party, its material support, and recognition of the program are stressed, as well as his quite significant financing of the Revolutionary Ukrainian Party and enthusiastic activity in its Foreign Committee. Differences between the political emigrants-erupists and the Central Committee of the RUP in Naddniprianshchyna region on the issue of the party's status are pointed out: regarding unification with the Russian Social Democratic Workers' Party (RSDWP) or preserving the organization's full party independence.\u0000\u0000The negation by M. Melenevskyi's group of the national principle in the Ukrainian labor movement and slogans of the autonomy of Ukraine led to the split of the RUP into two organizations – the Ukrainian Social Democratic Union and the Ukrainian Social Democratic Labor Party. Emphasis is placed on the merging of the Union with the RSDWP, its transition to the class struggle basis, neglecting a national factor by members of the Union, and non-recognition of Ukraine's independence postulate. Additionally, there are noted the Union's activities success during the elections to the II State Duma in 1907, and its defeat during the reaction to provocateurs' denunciation, the arrest of its members, Melenevskyi's unsuccessful attempt to revive the organization's activities abroad and in Ukraine.\u0000\u0000Dynamic activities of Melenevskyi in the Union for the Liberation of Ukraine (ULU), created with the outbreak of World War I, are revealed. The author stresses Melenevskyi's co-authorship of ULU's appeals to the European peoples, conducting extensive information and diplomatic work in the Black Sea-Balkan region, in particular in Turkey, in an attempt to use it as a springboard for Ukrainian insurgent actions on the Black Sea coast, his cooperation with Turkish government factors and the recognition of independent state aspirations of Ukrainians.\u0000\u0000A negative attitude of the Russian social democrats to Melenevskyi's state ideas is shown, and his focus only on his national forces in achieving the state independence of Ukraine is highlighted. While welcoming the February revolution in Russia, he hoped for the total liberation of the Ukrainian people from Moscow despotism and refused to participate in the work of the Hetman's government. His diplomatic activities and work in various Soviet trade and cooperative offices in London are highlighted. To sum up, the unreasonableness of the first and second arrests of M. Melenevskyi and the shooting execution sentence handed down by the relevant judicial authorities of the USSR are shown.\u0000Keywords\u0000Marian Melenevskyi, Union, Union for the Liberation of Ukraine","PeriodicalId":112217,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary era","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129186546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The semantic content of the agitation-propaganda «image of a woman» by both warring parties and the forms and methods of presentation of the created construct to a certain target audience in accordance with the set political goals and objectives are investigated. It is concluded that the political propaganda of the Bolshevik-Soviet government and the Ukrainian nationalist underground in the western regions of Ukraine in 1944–1947 had signs of gender coloring. In Soviet propaganda, they were more pronounced than in the propaganda materials of the Ukrainian nationalist underground. Both antagonistic forces constructed the image of women based on their needs: «the Soviet woman is a toiler» as opposed to «the Ukrainian woman is a keeper, a mother». The Soviet party authorities mobilized the female resource, on the one hand, as an auxiliary labor force for the reconstruction of economic facilities, and on the other hand, as a repeater of communist ideas and slogans. The image of the Soviet emancipated woman worker was actively exploited by Bolshevik ideologists in public propaganda discourse and used by them as one of the tools of Sovietization of the region. Instead, the political and ideological narrative of the Ukrainian insurgent underground and the UPA was dominated by the image of a woman-mother whose vocation was to raise her sons and daughters as fi ghters for an independent Ukrainian state. Emphasize that it was specifi cally entrusted to her the mission of preserving the Ukrainian nation through the birth and upbringing of children. It is determined that the Bolshevik propaganda arsenal is fi lled with a more diverse set of forms and methods than the arsenal of the insurgent underground. In addition to various mass media: newspapers, radio, cinema, etc. party officials widely used public events: meetings, rallies etc. as platforms for direct and indirect propaganda. The main method of nationalist propaganda was the distribution of printed materials. It was inferred that a common characteristic of gender-biased propaganda narratives from antagonistic sides was the presence of an imbalance in the feminine and masculine dimensions, favoring the latter.\u0000Keywords\u0000propaganda, women, Soviet government, UPA, Western Ukraine.","PeriodicalId":112217,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary era","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132704886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is stated that the offensive in January 2015 of pro-Russian terrorists, together with Russian regular troops, had to destroy the \"Debaltseve ledge\" as, since the end of July 2014, the city was under the control of the Ukrainian authorities. The task also included the encirclement and defeat of the Ukrainian army, deployment of the offensive, and occupation of Artemivsk and Kramatorsk. As a result of fierce fightings, which lasted from January 27 to February 18, Russian troops destroyed the \"Debaltseve ledge\" and took, in particular, essential for transport connection settlements Vuhlehirsk, Chornukhine, Debaltseve.
