Abstract
The article is about the course of the first post-war elections to the Verkhovna Rada of the USSR in the western regions of the Ukrainian SSR, which took place on February 10, 1946, and were accompanied by a so-called «great blockade» – a large-scale counterinsurgency operation against the OUN and UPA, aimed at demonstrating the power and dominance of the Bolshevik regime in Western Ukraine and using the election results to accelerate the process of sovietization of the region and curtail the national resistance movement.
