Abstract

In the article, the authors comprehensively investigated the features of everyday life of the rural population of Chernihiv Oblast in 1941–1943 under the conditions of the military-administrative and legal system of the occupation authorities. An analysis of the created military-administrative and legal system was carried out on the basis of documentary sources. In the process of working on the article, a number of methods of historical research were used, in particular: the method of periodization, historical-comparative and historical-systemic methods. Attention has been drawn to the fact that during the occupation in the Chernihiv Region, the everyday life of the rural population has changed significantly. The highest manifestation of its deterioration was the burning by the occupiers of more than 60 settlements in the Chernihiv Region. Thanks to the analysis of historical sources and scientific works of a number of scientists, the authors of the article also determined the essential features of the influence of the occupation regime on the everyday life of the rural population of Chernihiv Oblast, analyzed their main components: the activities of field and local commandants, the deployment of repressive measures against the population with the introduced system of punishments from fines, restrictions to shootings and total control over the life and activities of the local population. This punitive policy was, in fact, revenge of the occupiers on civilians for cooperation with the local Soviet partisans. The article gives a number of examples of the destruction of local civilians by German-Nazi invaders on the territory of Chernihiv Region during 1941–1943. It was determined that the occupation regime organized by the invaders led to great human losses among the peaceful inhabitants of villages and small towns, difficult conditions of everyday life due to the introduction by the occupiers of a terrible legal situation of the population and the deportation of people to Germany.
