Abstract
The paper is devoted to the meeting of South Russian monarchists, which took place in Kiev on 18-20 July 1918 under the guise of “the Congress of Ukrainian Conservatives”. It was the first congress after the Emperor’s abdication in March 1917. It presented its own view of the events of the 1917 Revolution and took some steps in the direction of the unification of Ukrainian conservative forces. The author cites various opinions about this congress from the press of the period. Using the minutes of the meetings which remain deposited in the Central State Archives of Supreme Bodies of Power and Government of Ukraine and the The Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History, the author provides the detailed account of the course of this congress. The article provides the lists of the speakers at the congress, the main content of their speeches, as well as the decisions regarding the main reports. Particular attention is paid to the information about P.N. Durnovo’s memorandum, which was provided by one of the speakers.
