Політичне цькування освітян у 1920–1930-х роках як частина політичного репресування

Abstract

The current situation and development of society increasingly tells us about certain trends of political harassment of public and political figures, as part of the process of repression, including in the field of education, compared to the tragic pages of our past. And so this topic is quite relevant in modern scientific discourse. The research methodology is based on the principles of objectivity, systematics, historicism, dialectics and interdisciplinarity. Namely, the study is based on historical and historical-pedagogical methods. The study provides examples of political harassment of representatives of the Soviet education system in the 1920s and 1930s, including through the media, both socio-political and professional educational significance. These data clearly reveal the attempts of the Soviet government to use the consciousness of citizens in the struggle against the «enemies of the people» and the supremacy of the Bolsheviks over the rights of every person to maintain their power. In addition to the disclosure of the topic is the involvement of documentary sources that demonstrate the political harassment of educators in speeches at various meetings and rallies. These examples of political harassment of educators provide an opportunity to study more deeply the mechanisms of political repression of the Ukrainian intelligentsia as a whole and see what methods of psychological pressure, manipulation and change of consciousness, especially youth and children, are inherent in Soviet power. But to analyze their future manifestations in the future and to develop a methodology for combating these negative phenomena in a democratic society, which requires further efforts of scientists.
