Abstract
The article for the first time comprehensively covers the history of museification of monuments of folk architecture from the village Rudiakiv, Boryspil district, Kyiv region, in the Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of the Middle Dnieper Region. The problem of preservation of immovable monuments became especially relevant in the 1960s in connection with the construction of the Kaniv Reservoir on the Dnieper and the flooding of two dozen Dnieper villages. The purpose of the study is to shed light on the history of the discovery, transportation and installation of monuments from Rudiakiv in the Pereiaslav skansen and their characteristics. The analysis of the species composition of buildings is made, attention is paid to the peculiarities of their constructions, material, construction technique. It tells about the fate of 11 buildings (4 houses, 3 counties, 1 cellar, 1 pantry, 1 soot, 1 windmill), which were transported to the museum during 1965–1974. The circumstances due to which they got to the Pereiaslav skansen are considered. In particular, the role of the Shcherbyns, natives of the village of Rudiakiv, in the museification of these monuments. The author concludes that thanks to the efforts of employees of the Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi State Historical Museum, unique cultural heritage sites from the village of Rudiakiv were lucky to survive. Museification has become the optimal method of preservation for them. In the Museum of Folk Architecture and Everyday Life of the Middle Dnieper region, the monuments have been turned into museum objects, included in tourist routes, and the study of their history has been stimulated. In the museum, the monuments received new connections and, together with other objects, were included in a new historical context – a simulated Dnieper village of the XIX – early XX century. Not only have these monuments become the decoration of the village, they have significant scientific, historical, ethnographic, and artistic value, so the development of a holistic concept of their history and museification is of great importance.
