АРХІВНА УКРАЇНІКА ТА ПРОБЛЕМА АТРИБУЦІЇ АВТОРСТВА ДОСЛІДНИКІВ ІСТОРІЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ РЕВОЛЮЦІЇ 1917–1921 рр.

Abstract

The article explores the problem of personification of historiography of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1921. It is emphasized that the research work consists of a complex of searches and a thorough research of archival Ukrainics outside of Ukraine will help to activate the process of attribution of authorship of the researchers of the Revolutionary Age through their disclosures. It is emphasized that the study of various aspects of the historiography of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1921 requires the coverage and involvement of numerous publications from periodicals and books. In doing so, researchers are constantly confronted with anonymous, pseudonymous, and crypto-printed and handwritten works that require a lot of time, effort, and searching. Attention is drawn to the fact that one of the most difficult problems in attribution of authorship is establishing a true surname among several applicant authors, when it is necessary to undertake a set of measures: to get acquainted with the biochrony of the applicant authors, to find out in more detail the scientific interests of these authors by analyzing their other publications, to determine the place and year of publication, publishing house or print body of publication, and finally compare these facts to obtain the appropriate result. It is concluded that the problem of attribution of authorship of researchers of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1921 is an integral part of the problem of personification of national history as a whole, has many aspects of research and needs further thorough study and generalization. The author is convinced that further progress in solving the problem of attribution of authorship, that is, the discovery and authorization of aliases and kryptonyms, is related to the successful use of archival Ukrainian materials.
