Utilizing a method of historical reconstruction, this study seeks to construct a comprehensive understanding of the status of monasteries and the social makeup of their monastic communities from disparate historical evidence. A notable scholarly contribution of this study lies in its pioneering effort to investigate, analyze and assess the informational value of service records from monasteries within the Kyiv Eparchy during the specified period. Conclusively, service records, or formulary information, served as a prevalent form of annual reporting within monastic institutions throughout the 19th century. These unpublished documents serve as primary sources for documenting monastic life during the synodal period, playing a pivotal role in the administrative and communal life of monasteries and their inhabitants. Beyond simply detailing the composition of monastery brotherhoods and listing the names of monks and novices, these records contain rich insights into the individual lives of monastics. Examining such sources facilitates the identification of the number of monastics in Kyiv Eparchy monasteries, the motivations driving their monastic commitment, their roles within monastic communities, average demographics, social standing, educational attainment and even personal characteristics and behaviours. By leveraging these archival materials, scholars are afforded the opportunity to analyze the fluctuating demographics and composition of monastic communities within the Kyiv Eparchy throughout the synodal period, thereby enabling prosopographical investigations and contributing to a deeper understanding of Orthodox monasticism in the region.","PeriodicalId":163448,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Papers of the Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsyiubynskyi State Pedagogical University Series History","volume":" 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140389881","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}

In the professional activity of Lviv architects and sculptors, a significant role was played by the process of organizing the most qualified workers around them into professional associations, which are known in the sources as \"factory-workshops\". Thanks to them, artists got the opportunity to control most of the orders when creating objects of a secular and sacred nature in the city and beyond.

The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, scientificity, objectivity and systematicity, as well as the application of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special-historical (problematic-chronological, specific-research, historical-comparative, critical) methods. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that, based on the analysis of available documentary and empirical material, the study of a wide range of scientific works, the authors made a comprehensive analysis of the situation of the communal economy of Vinnytsia during the period of the formation of Soviet power, taking into account the specifics of the Podilsk region. Conclusions. In the period of the 1920s, the communal economy throughout Ukraine was in a state of crisis and needed almost complete reconstruction. This was explained not only by the consequences of the revolutionary events of 1917-1921 and the civil war, but also by the Bolshevik policy of \"war communism\". The problems of improving housing and living conditions for the population were particularly acute in Podillia and, in particular, in Vinnytsia, due to its border location and the conduct of hostilities in the region. The gradual improvement of the city's communal economy began with the introduction of a new economic policy. The main task of the government was to restore the housing stock, economic facilities, city communications and infrastructure. Thanks to the steps towards decommunization, reforms of the management structures of the communal economy, the formation of local budgets, certain positive developments took place in its development: the solution to the \"housing crisis\" began, favorable conditions for the normal economic operation of buildings began to be created, the reconstruction of electric companies and city transport was carried out, and the communal infrastructure was improved , which contributed to the improvement of the life of the population and the well-being of the city. However, despite these positive trends, there were a number of problems faced by city dwellers - lack of housing, unsanitary conditions of residential premises, incomplete operation of electricity and water supply, insufficient number of communal baths, deficiencies in the organization of fire protection.

The research methodology, in addition to observing the principles of objectivity and historicism, consisted in the consistent application of the historical comparative method, its heuristic, analytical, descriptive functions and the function of identifying borrowings and influences. The scientific novelty is contained in the systematic application of a comparative analysis of the military affairs in Ulus Juchi and in the state of Timur, revealing the effectiveness of transfers and durability of elements of the military art of the Mongolian and Turkic ethnic communities. Conclusions. The author has found the military affairs of the Genghisids to be based on Mongolian military traditions and experience. Decimal system and the left-right arms and the center structuring underlay the military organization of the countries. Golden Horde and Ulus Chagatai preserved general military duty. Mobilization resource comprised hundreds of thousands of prepared warriors called horse-soldiers. The paper has identified that the would-be reinforcement training was naturally held in professional and living environments of the Nomads. It was battue hunting that played a significant role in military organization and tactics. The armies of Golden Horde and Turan consisted of light and heavily armed cavalry. The article has demonstrated that the Tymur’s infantry was of great importance and performed special vital urgent tasks but supporting role. Being a general, Tymur among the followers of Mongolian war principal was the first to take notice of the new tendency in military affairs. The army of Golden Horden was proved to successfully know the Nomads’ basic tactical techniques – “round dance”, “crow’s flock”, “shiuchi” and “tulgam”. “Tulgama” known as bypassing the enemy from one or two flanks and getting behind his lines when battling, was the most effective tactical military instrument of the Genghisids states. The Turan army lead by Tymur, was able to contrast “tulgama” with their own organizational and tactical innovations. Tymur covered cavalry corps of the left and right arms were by “canbulas” – protective corps with the number no less than the main divisions. Their clear task included to prevent the enemy’s cavalry from going around from the flanks. They fought together with the vanguard corps. The most important Tymur’s innovation was introducing a powerful rearguard – a corps of patches of twenty koshuns.

The research provides evidence supporting the claim that the Soviet communist regime, building a society based on state ownership, viewed private trade, speculation, and reselling as threats to the state monopoly. Their suppression became one of the components of the Holodomor-Genocide of 1932-1933.

The scientific novelty of the work is presented by a comprehensive study of the state policy on overcoming child homelessness and neglect in the Zhytomyr region of the Ukrainian SSR during the mentioned period with using new archival sources. Conclusions. Homelessness and neglect of the minors were urgent problems in the period from the mid-1950s to the first half of the 1960s both in the Zhytomyr region and Ukraine as a whole. They were gradually resolved, the authorities took appropriate measures. From the side of the relevant executive authorities, there was often a formal approach to solving the problems of child homelessness and neglect. It should be noted that this problem was organically connected with the command-administrative and bureaucratic system of the Soviet government, for which reporting and certain indicators were important but the practical solution of the children's problems was delayed. The relevant authorities’ inspections of the ways the orphanages worked revealed the financial shortcomings, problems in material support and educating which had a negative impact on the pupils in those institutions. A serious problem is proved to be the absence or lack of the parents’ attention to the upbringing of their children at that time. Moreover, the enterprises and institutions, that were supposed to contribute to the cultural and educational development of their workers’ and employees’ children, did not do that. The issues of organizing leisure time for the minors by the children and school institutions was relevant, as the problem of neglect and committing the crime by the uncontrolled minors depended directly on those solutions. The methodical assistance in working with children provided by regional libraries to village ones was insufficient and very often it was not actually carried out.

The research methodology is based on the fundamental principles of historical research: historicism, systematicity, scientificity, objectivity in the selection of facts and documents. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that, for the first time, with the help of archival sources, specific steps in the activities of the Cabinet of Ministers in 1918 regarding the support and development of art, namely theater and cinematography, as one of the components of culture, were revealed, thanks to both financial support and the awareness of representatives of the government of Pavlo Skoropadsky of the national-patriotic orientation regarding the importance of the development of national art as part of the state-building process. Conclusions. In the conditions of the exhausting First World War and the economic devastation in the state, the government of Pavlo Skoropadskyi attached great importance to the development of art, in particular theater and cinematography. The government considered the sphere of theater not only as an important form of cultural expression, but also as one of the directions of state-building in the development of the national interests of the Ukrainian State, in order to ensure the spread of the Ukrainian language and culture among the population of that time. Cinematography in 1918 was at an early stage of development. However, even then the government understood its potential and recognized the importance of cinema not only as an innovative invention, but as a means of mass information and state propaganda to influence the population. At the state level, mechanisms were developed to support the cinematographic industry and the Ukrainian theater of that time, which were constantly financed by Pavlo Skoropadskyi's Council of Ministers, as evidenced by archival documents.
