Ukrainian Holodomor bibliography numbers more than 18,5 thousand of publications, of them oral history sources – more than 10 thousand of entries. Famine 1932–33 bibliography in the USSR and Kuban is reasonably smaller in the former USSR (before 1991), as well as in contemporary Russian Federation. Regarding research of the famine on Kuban (by July of 1930 – Kuban krai, later – Northern-Caucasus krai as part of RRFSR) – this is not the case at all. At the same time, research of the Holodomor topic that took place on this historical-geographical region of RF for Ukrainian historians has special meaning. According to the census of 1926, Ukrainians as an ethnographic group comprised 54,1% of whole population on Kuban (1 million 644 thousand 380 people). The goal of the research is revealing and researching of oral history of eye-witnesses of the famine of 1932–1933 about punitive activity of searching brigades with the goal of extortion of food reserves from peasants on the territory of UkrSSR (the author analyzes available data of 144 settlements) and separately – of Kuban area (the author analyzes data of 65 settlements). Analysis of research object basing on the sources of oral history, recorded in various historical-geographical regions of Ukraine (144 testimonies) and Kuban (in general 122 testimonies) is being introduced for the first time. This comprises scientific novelty of the research. Methodological basis of the research is the principle of systematic and structural approaches in combination with the elements of descriptive-analytical, comparative-historical and contextological methods of analysis. Conclusions. On the basis of the research of oral history sources the author states tragical experience of living through winter – spring of 1933 by peasants in Ukraine and Kuban. Research of oral testimonies of respondents has allowed to a certain degree to reconstruct «collective portrait» of activists. The author shows that regardless of territorial affixment searching brigades, being authorized with punitive functions, acted equally brutally. Further studies with usage of oral history sources, whose object is revealing of data on extortion during household searches with the goal of finding of food in UkrSSR and on Kuban, as well as broadening of the analysis to other grain regions of USSR will help to find out similarity or differences of mechanism of humility with famine of peasants in UkrSSR and USSR in 1932–1933.
