Participation of Soviet Aviation in the Rostov Offensive Operation (January – February 1943)

The objective of the study is to determine the specific features of regional mortgage construction models in the Rostov region. The main results of the study: 1) the institutional features and the mechanism of functioning of the regional mortgage construction model in the Rostov region are presented; 2) the results of the analysis of infrastructural support of regional mortgage construction in the Rostov region are reflected; 3) the tools for assessing the effectiveness, risks of housing mortgages and the prospects for the dissemination of the Rostov model of regional mortgage construction are identified. The materials of the study: statistical data on the use of regional mortgage construction models in the Rostov region for 2017-2024, analytical reviews of current mortgage products used by Russian regions (2023-2025), digests of representatives of banking organizations revealing the relevance and problems of using regional mortgage construction models. Research methods: systematization, comparative analysis, contrastive analysis, economic analysis, generalization, abstract-logical method, induction, deduction, systems approach, data conceptualization, graphical and tabular data visualization. Key findings: 1) The Rostov model of mortgage construction serves as an example of effective institutional engineering at the regional level. Its sustainability and effectiveness are due to the formation of the coordinating core of JSC «Region Development Corporation», which ensures synergy between bank financing, budgetary resources, the investment and construction complex, and end consumers of residential real estate; 2) An analysis of the infrastructural support of regional mortgage construction in the Rostov Region allows us to conclude that the financing model is based on an integrated infrastructure in which the components interact. The regulatory framework creates stable conditions for mortgage construction, the organizational structure ensures their strict implementation, and the financial infrastructure provides the necessary financial resources. 3) The potential for the expansion of the mortgage construction mechanism used in the Rostov Region is seen in its adaptive replication. The key principles of the Rostov Region mechanism are as follows: the creation of a single, competent operator coordinating transactions, the implementation of transparent selection procedures, comprehensive risk management, and the development of a communication platform between government agencies, the business sector, and financial institutions.

Introduction. Development of the industrial production in the regions becomes possible on condition of attracting the labour resources and creating the appropriate socio-economic conditions, acceptable living, training and leisure opportunities for employees. Solving these tasks results in formation of the industrial clusters and development of the settlements with the city-forming industrial enterprises. The settlements that have emerged as an evidence of the technological progress and as a result of formation of the economic relationships differ from the settlements and cities formed under the dominating influence of the agricultural and commercial sectors. First of all, the differences refer to the intensity of migration flows, quick emergence of the agglomerations consisting of the class-homogeneous labour collectives represented by the proletariat (including the stratum of engineers and craftsmen). For this reason, during formation of the industrial sector in the Russian Empire in the second half of the XIX century, a special kind of internal affairs authorities called the “industrial police” had evolved, which were partly funded at the expense of the extrabudgetary funds of the served enterprises. These practices had spread throughout the Donetsk coal-mining basin, which included an immense territory from the city of Shakhty, Rostov region (former Aleksandrovsk-Grushevskii, Province of the Don Cossack Host) – in the east to the city of Donetsk, Donetsk People's Republic (former Yuzovka, Yekaterinoslav province) – in the west. Nowadays, a scientific study of the industrial police formation process on the territory of Donbass is relevant and especially valuable due to the fact that from 2022 the coal-mining basin has become an integral part of the Russian Federation and because it possesses the vast historical and industrial-production experience of joint development and cooperation of its constituent regions, including in the field of law enforcement activities. Therefore, the paper targets to investigate the process of formation of the industrial police on the territory of the Donetsk coal-mining basin (at the pre–Soviet period).Materials and Methods. The objects of the study were the legal relations referring to the formation and development of the industrial police on the territory of the Donetsk coal-mining basin in the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries. The study was carried out based on the empirical analysis of the history of the law enforcement authorities on the territory of the Donetsk coal-mining basin. While preparing the article, the principle of historicism was applied, historicallegal, dogmatic legal and system-structural methods of scientific research were used. Along with the specific scientific methods of jurisprudence knowledge, the general scientific methods of synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as the comparative, systemic and cognitive methods were used.Results. A scientific concept of the Donbass law enforcement system, which had existed at the turn of the XIX– XX centuries within the Province of the Don Cossack Host and had represented a specific subject of the Russian Empire in the pre-Soviet period, was formed. The regulatory legal acts, which had been the basis for the emergence and development of the industrial police, ensuring protection of the public order and safety, were identified and studied. The historically justified key dates of the Donbass industrial police formation were distinguished and might be used in the moral, psychological and memorial work, demonstrating the unity of the population living on the territory of the Donetsk coalmining basin in the past and future.Discussion and Conclusion. Enforcement of the law is an important part of the law enforcement function of the state and is being ensured across the whole territory of the Russian Federation, including the “new regions” of Russia, which had been previously detached from it in 1991 due to undoing the USSR. Therefore, the research in the historical and legal development of the industrial police of the Donetsk coal-mining basin demonstrates the historical unity of the peoples of Donbass throughout the single state. The conclusions drawn by the authors upon the conducted research directly refer to ensuring the national ideological security of the Russian Federation.

Summary. The research objective is to analyze the problems and ways of personnel support of agricultural production, its impact on the formation of the social composition of the Ukrainian peasantry and to highlight its impact on the processes of transformation in 1929 – 1939.The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, objectivity, pluralism, multifactor, systematic character, comprehensiveness and continuity. The principle of historicism was implemented by a consistent analysis of the dynamics of the structural elements of the socioeconomic and national-cultural development of the Ukrainian village in 1929 – 1939 in the context of Soviet national policy. In his research the author kept to the principle of objectivity by using a significant number of historical facts, achievements of historiography, authenticity of written sources. Methodological pluralism is determined by the presence of various theoretical models of elucidation of political and social history, the main conceptual foundations of which are theories of totalitarianism and the principles of modernization. The system approach required an adequate methodology that avoids one-sidedness, fragmentarity and specificity, and hence the selectivity of problem analysis. System and comprehensive approaches to the research of the history of the Ukrainian peasantry involves multidisciplinary synthesis and analysis of the chosen problem in the context of the history of Soviet politics, political science, social history, sociology, the culture of Soviet everyday life, economic history, etc.The analysis shows that the ways of forming the labor potential of the Ukrainian village and the expanded reproduction of national-cultural personnel were determined by the party-state leadership in the 30's of the twentieth century and have become an objective tendency that could be slowed down or distorted under the influence of Stalin's terror, but not canceled.The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time in modern historiography stereotypes regarding the production activities of agricultural structures are critically revised under the conditions of building a general Soviet mechanism and forced industrialization in Ukraine during 1929 ‒ 1939 and the conceptual foundations of the formation of the system of training agricultural specialists, its forms are defined and the influence on the formation of the production layer and the intellectual and professional provision of the Ukrainian village is revealed.Proved that the peasantry as a holistic social group suffered significant deformation and a new type of rural workers was gradually formed ‒ collective-farmers that were influenced by Bolshevik ideology. They were the most characteristic and most numerous group of all able-bodied members of the population of rural territories of Ukraine with all their peculiarities that were in the interests of totalitarian power. Additionally, in 1929 – 1939 the collective-farm peasantry formed the socio-professional groups, among which the most popular and notable people were machine operators, harvester and tractor drivers, which fit into the administrative-command system and could implement the planned agrarian reforms. Thus, in fact, the beginning of the break-up of the established way of life of Ukrainian peasants was the continuous collectivization and expropriation of individual peasant farms.Conclusions. Consequently, the conceptual foundations for the formation of the Soviet in-service training system for agrarian specialists had determined its influence on the formation of the industrial stratum and the intellectual and professional provision of the Ukrainian village and the contribution of the Ukrainian peasantry to the implementation of the social programs of the Bolshevik regime and the «socialist modernization» of Soviet society, the development of which required new labor resources.

The proposed article is devoted to the figure of Secretary of State Dean Rusk during the presidency of John F. Kennedy in 1961–1963, with special attention to the interpersonal relationship between him and the president. The purpose of the work is to emphasize the importance of studying the interaction between the president and the secretary of state, which often plays a key role in the formulation and implementation of the foreign policy of the United States of America. The ability of the president and his secretary of state to listen to each other and communicate effectively can determine success or failure in implementing foreign policy initiatives and managing crisis situations. The research methodology is based on a critical analysis of scientific literature, as well as on the application of problem-chronological and systemic approaches. The basic principles of the article are the principle of historicism, objectivity and scientificity. Comparative, historical-systemic, historical-genetic methods are used for scientific understanding of the proposed problem. The scientific novelty of the article consists in drawing the attention of researchers to the figure of Dean Rusk, as well as in offering a different point of view on Dean Rusk’s place in the relationship with President J. Kennedy. Contrary to the prevailing view of Dean Rusk’s insecurity, mysteriousness, and modesty as the key to his failure as the president’s foreign policy advisor, we argue that these aspects became «victorious» in interaction with the president, acting as a certain «balancing factor» of J. Kennedy’s activism. Conclusions. The relationship between John F. Kennedy and Dean Rusk was complicated and occasionally strained. J. Kennedy and D. Rusk had different views on foreign policy issues. J. Kennedy often avoided the opinions of D. Rusk, did not always fully trust him, or did not consider his opinion reliable. Wanting to be the main initiator of the foreign policy of the United States of America. The crises that the US faced in the early 1960s were partly the result of the politics of interpersonal attitudes: both Dean Rusk and J. Kennedy were individuals who did not correspond to the essence of America in the late 1950s and early 1960s (in the context of a globalized understanding of foreign policy), however, it is unlikely that Kennedy would have been able to find a better candidate for the position of Secretary of State than Dean Rusk (in the context of interpersonal relations).

This research paper examines the import substitution policy in Rostov region, analyzing the main directions and tools used in this process. The article discusses the support measures offered by regional authorities to stimulate domestic production and reduce dependence on imports. The authors consider the existing strategies and mechanisms of import substitution, which stimulate this policy in the Rostov region. The tools that promote this policy are analyzed. Changes in the geopolitical situation in recent years make this problem particularly relevant. On the one hand, sanctions stimulate the development of domestic industries and reduce dependence on imports. On the other hand, import substitution is associated with a number of problems, such as rising prices, lower product quality and technological lag. The purpose of the study is to identify the strengths and weaknesses in the field of import substitution, to find the most effective mechanisms that contribute to this process in the Rostov region, to identify priority areas. The research methodology is based on the Russian school of economic thought, proceeding from the understanding of the Russian civilization as independent, autonomous and distinctive. The instrumental and methodological apparatus of the study was determined by a set of methods of the theoretical level of scientific knowledge, among which logical and systemic approaches, observation, data groupings, methods of comparative analysis, analysis and synthesis should be distinguished. As a result of the study, the authors identified those areas in which the Rostov region achieved the greatest success: machine tool building, radio electronics, agricultural engineering and others. The main tools that contributed to the widespread use of import-substituting technologies were also investigated: the creation of a specialized body, leasing, soft loans and grants.

The article is devoted to the problem of the formation and development of the educational and scientific potential of the Department of Economic Theory, Macro- and Microeconomics of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, which is the successor of the Department of Political Economy and Statistics, founded at St. Volodymyr's University in 1842. The aim of the article is to reveal the patterns of the historically conditioned process of forming the educational and scientific potential of the Department and its influence on the formation and development of Ukrainian theoretical economic science and classical university economic education. The principles of historicism, objectivity, and a systemic approach are used. The historical-evolutionary approach in the analysis of empirical material ensures the consideration of the specific historical situation. The systemic approach in the study of factual material makes it possible to avoid the bias in the selection of facts and their interpretation. A comprehensive analysis of the research object and the analytical approach are supplemented by retrospective analysis and content analysis. The authors reveal the department’s powerful contribution to the development of Ukrainian economic science and education, the process of spreading economic knowledge, training highly qualified specialists, business practice, and reforming socio-economic relations. The article describes the substantive content of the main areas of the department’s activities over the more than 180-year period of its existence proving its leading role in the structure of Kyiv University, the Faculty of Economics, and in the system of Ukrainian economic science and classical university economic education. Scientific reflection of fundamental changes, problems, and prospects for the development of Ukrainian economic science and education on the example of its well-known institutional center – the Department of Economic Theory, Macro- and Microeconomics – forms a conviction in the extraordinary demand for the highest standards of scientific research and educational activities demonstrated by the department. The short experience of the functioning of scientific and educational institutions in wartime requires an in-depth analysis of the place and role of its institutional centers in the permanent process of modifying the content and methods of research, scientific, educational, public and educational activities during the war and during post-war recovery.

Introduction. Over the centuries, a special identity has been formed in Russia, uniting various cultures, traditions and ethnic groups. In this context, the specifics of state policy have always implied recognition and respect for the culture and traditions of the peoples living in the country, aimed at preserving their identity. This article is devoted to substantiating the author’s hypothesis that elevating the problem of domestic tourism development to the rank of a national project is aimed at nation-building of modern Russian statehood and strengthening the Russian identity of the multi-ethnic composition of the country’s population as a single nation. The purpose of the article is to explicate the contribution of the national project “Tourism and Hospitality” to the strengthening and development of Russian identity as a single people of Russia.Materials and Methods. The study was conducted on the basis of sources including regulatory and legal acts of the Russian Federation, data from the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, information articles from websites devoted to the topic under consideration, research by foreign and domestic scientists in the problematic field of national identity, intercultural communication, and tourism development. This made it possible to explicate the role of tourism as a significant factor in the development of Russian identity using historical, philosophical, sociological, and political science concepts, the dialectical method, a systems approach, and structural and functional analysis.Results. The principle of historicism is applied to consider the stages of formation of the national project “Tourism and Hospitality” with an explication of its structure and functions of each project in its composition. Stimulating moments for financial support of the projects’ implementation are designated. It is shown that in addition to raising the level of popular tourist centers, the national project on tourism, taking into account the involvement of all subjects of the Russian Federation in its implementation, determines the incentive for the transformation of unique topoi, which the country is extremely rich in, and which to this day are beyond the boundaries of tourist provision, into new places of attraction for tourist flows.Discussion and Conclusion. Consideration of the national project from the point of view of tourist immersion of Russian citizens into the very core of the country’s ethnic diversity determines its significance as a factor aimed at strengthening the unity of the Russian people. The complexity of national tourist routes includes the theme of the foundations of Russian statehood, contributes not only to the popularization of domestic tourism, but also plays a decisive role in strengthening Russian identity.

Given the influx of refugees into Europe, the migration problem is growing increasingly urgent in France and in the EU in general. Besides, if earlier the economic needs of the country were put at the center of solving immigration issues, now the government should also proceed from security considerations, since the main negative consequence of the migration policy conducted until recently is the growing threat to the security of citizens. The major challenge the French authorities are facing is maintaining security and social cohesion, with at the same time human rights observed and republican values respected. Addressing the migration challenge on the existing legal basis is getting more and more problematic. The article briefly analyzes the institutional and political constraints on the activities of the government, as well as the immigration policy of France, conducted since the arrival of Jacques Chirac, in 1995, to the presidency, to nowadays. The author, proceeding from the principles of historicism and using a systemic approach, shows that there had been an effective immigration policy to the extent that it was possible. However, the result was deplorable. Conclusion: the restrictions existing in France and other Western democracies do not allow to address the immigration challenge, to maintain order on their territories, while their populations feel increasingly insecure. The French leaders begin to understand that acting within the existing paradigm, it is not possible to overcome the migration crisis. So the governments of France, as well as other European countries, have to make a difficult choice, as a radical change in immigration policy may contravene the country’s republican values, while the continuation of the previous course risks weakening the ability to ensure the safety of citizens and preserve the national identity, as well as the republican model of a social welfare state. Recent actions in this area by President Emmanuel Macron show that the imperative of ensuring the security of its citizens is beginning to be seen as the main priority in the migration policy.

The article examines Ukrainian etching of the first half of the 20th century through the prism of the battle genre. The specified period is characterized by active socio-political and socio-cultural changes. Ukrainian etching is considered in the context of the styles and directions of art of the specified period, as well as the influence of European masters. The theoretical basis for the research was the works of domestic art critics and cultural experts. The subject of the research is etching and the peculiarities of its existence during the period of socio-cultural changes. The main emphasis of the study of the battle theme in Ukrainian etching is focused on its connotation with the European school. An analysis of the main points of interaction between Ukrainian and European engraving was carried out. It is established that the main points of intersection of the two cultures are education and exhibition activity, borrowing and imitation. Two groups of artists were formed according to their relation to the war. It was found that artists who are directly related to the war receive high-quality and more reliable preparatory materials for creating an artistic work. The main features of European art, which became the forerunner of Ukrainian etching, have been established. An analysis of art tasks was carried out separately. It was determined that the main task of an engraver working within the battle genre isto preserve the aesthetic component of the work. At the same time, the artist must convey to the viewer all the fury and horror, realism and authenticity of war. The methodological foundations of the research are based on the principle of historicism and a systemic approach, which provide an objective and theoretical approach to research.

The article is devoted to the study of modern views of Russians on the history of the Soviet past. The subject of the study is the ideas of residents of a multinational region — the Republic of Bashkortostan, which reflect the specific attractiveness of everyday life in the Soviet era — a time of large-scale political, legal, socio-economic and cultural transformations. As is known, the historical memory of society includes a wide range of impressions about the heyday of the socialist system. The work shows the importance of the ethnic factor in the formation of everyday judgments about the positive aspects of the Soviet way of life. The goal set by the author determined the use of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization), special historical (historical and comparative, the principle of historicism, systems approach) and sociological methods (mathematical and statistical analysis of empirical data), as well as an interdisciplinary approach, most often used by scientists in related fields of social and humanitarian knowledge. The main source material is the results of ethnosociological studies conducted in the republic in question (2018). Interpretation of the questionnaire data showed both similarities and differences between the answers of representatives of different ethnic groups to the question «In your opinion, was there anything particularly attractive in “Soviet life”?» A significant part of the population paid attention to a number of important components of life during the years of the USSR. This is confidence in the future, free access to a number of basic needs (education, health care and housing), and the absence of problems with employment of citizens. But among the respondents there were also those who did not find anything attractive for themselves in Soviet life.

The article examines the «Timber Sycamore» program, initiated by the CIA and U.S. allies to support the Syrian opposition during the Syrian Civil War. It analyzes the political and strategic motives of American foreign policy, the mechanisms of cooperation with regional partners (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey), and the impact of this covert operation on the course of the conflict. The program’s role as an instrument of proxy warfare is assessed, and conclusions are drawn regarding its implications for regional security and global geopolitical rivalry. The purpose of this article is to conduct a historical analysis of the «Timber Sycamore» program as an instrument of American influence in Syria and to evaluate its political, strategic, and security consequences for the civil war and regional stability in the Middle East. The methodology is based on the principles of historicism, objectivity, and systemic analysis, employing a combination of methods: the historical method is used to reconstruct the stages of the program’s creation and implementation; the comparative-political method is applied to juxtapose it with other American operations, including the Afghan “Cyclone” program; a systems approach allows the program to be considered as part of the broader U.S. strategy in the Middle East; and the geopolitical approach facilitates the assessment of the program within the context of U.S. – Russia global rivalry. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comprehensive historical analysis of the «Timber Sycamore» program as an instrument of American influence in Syria. Conclusion. The «Timber Sycamore» program served as a key instrument of American influence in Syria, implemented through support for opposition forces within the framework of proxy warfare strategy. Analysis shows that, despite substantial financial and military-technical resources, the program did not achieve its primary objective of regime change in Bashar al-Assad’s government. At the same time, it affected regional stability, intensified competition among external actors, and demonstrated the limitations of covert operations in complex, multi-layered conflicts.

Pshenychny in the process of scientifi c and professional communication in the context of the development of Ukrainian archival science and practice. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the participation of archive employees in formal scientifi c and practical communication, in particular the presentation of their work in the columns of the scientifi c and practical journal «Archives of Ukraine», the characteristics of the vectors of scientifi c and professional search. Research methods. The research is based on theoretical developments and concepts of domestic and foreign scientists in the fi eld of social, scientifi c and professional communications. The work was carried out using general scientifi c methods of analysis and synthesis based on a systemic approach, principles of historicism and objectivity. Chronological, structural-typological, problem-thematic, genre-specifi c methods were also used when covering the topic. The scientifi c novelty of the article lies in clarifying the signifi cance of the Central State Archives of Cinema, Audio and Visual Documents of Ukraine named after H. S. Pshenychny in formal scientifi c and professional communication and its impact on the development of audiovisual archival science and archival practices for the preservation of audiovisual heritage. Conclusions. Central State Archives of Cinema, Audio and Visual Documents of Ukraine named after H. S. Pshenychny is an important subject of the socio-cultural and scientifi c-professional sphere and an active participant in professional and scientifi c communication. The study proved that the scientifi c and scientifi c-methodical works of its employees played a signifi cant role in the development of scientifi c-methodical, professional principles for the preservation and use of the audiovisual heritage of our country. Under the current conditions of the rapid development of the information society, the growing role of information and communication technologies, further research of various forms of scientifi c and professional communication, in particular informal and electronically mediated, in the scientifi c and professional archival environment is considered promising.

Ensuring state sovereignty, and above all, technological sovereignty, is in modern conditions a mandatory component of the innovative development of industries and ensuring a balance in scientific, technical and innovative development of the national economy. Domestic science is making its contribution to the study of these issues. Scientific publications present significant results of research into problems of innovative development. But there are still gaps in scientific knowledge on issues of theory, legal framework, and mechanisms for regulating relations in the field of the influence of technological sovereignty on the innovative development of industries and the national economy as a whole. The objectives of this study were to analyze and evaluate the accumulated knowledge in the field of the theory of technological sovereignty, its legal framework and developed regulatory mechanisms. The research methodology was based on the principles of scientific knowledge of the phenomena of social life, such as the systems approach, the principle of determinism, the principle of historicism, etc. As the results of the study showed, it is necessary to intensify work on the formation of the theoretical and methodological foundations of technological sovereignty. The proposal to integrate disparate regulatory legal provisions on technological sovereignty in a single act is substantiated. The incompleteness of the formation of mechanisms for achieving technological sovereignty and their fragmentation are revealed. The author's conclusions and proposals are aimed at increasing the level of scientific, methodological and legal support for activities to achieve technological sovereignty as a priority mechanism for technological development.

The goal of the study is to analyze the legends and tales associated with the hillforts of the Southern Sivershchyna and to highlight the historical component in the described events. The research methodology is represented by: the principle of historicism, the systemic approach, the methods of logic and grouping, the comparative-historical and problem-chronological principles. Tales and legends were recorded by historians and archaeologists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries during explorations and excavations. The legends associated with the hillforts are quite diverse in their plots. The vast majority of them are related to a great treasure guarded by a powerful, often evil, force. Such legends describe conditions, often difficult, that make it impossible for seekers to fulfill them. Another story involves robbers and their loot, which they buried but left behind for some reason. These treasures also have a spell or are hidden at a very considerable depth. According to the local people, it is often a high rampart of a settlement. Legends associated with certain historical figures or events can be distinguished separately. They often intertwine a variety of plots, and historical figures from different times are the heroes of one legend. Sometimes the protagonists are representatives of a particular nation, such as the Tatars or Swedes, without specifying their names or time. The vast majority of legends with a clear and complete plot were recorded in the first quarter of the twentieth century by archaeologists during exploration. Their recording was one of the prerequisites in the developed methodological recommendations of the NAC.

The purpose of the article is to generalize and evaluate the scientific conclusions of P. I. Havlyuk about the development of archaeological cultures of the Neolithic (Bugo-Dniester) and Eneolithic (Trypil) eras. The research methodology is represented by: the principle of historicism, the systemic approach, the methods of logic and grouping, the comparative-historical and problem-chronological principle. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the article summarizes P. I. Havlyuk conclusions about early agricultural archaeological cultures in the Eastern Podil, as well as their assessment by other archaeologists. To write the article, unpublished manuscripts from the personal fund of P. I. Havlyuk, stored in the Vinnytsya Regional Museum of History and Nature and archaeological research reports from the Scientific Archive of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine were used. The point of view of P. I. Havlyuk about the peculiarities of the material culture of the population during the Neolithic and Eneolithic eras in the Middle Pobuzhzhia is presented. The following issues were considered: topography of settlements (planning features), characteristics of housing construction, economic activity (agriculture and animal husbandry) and crafts (pottery, weaving and tool making). The article also mentions the settlements of the Bugo-Dniester culture discovered by the archaeologist (Glynishche, Glynske I, Ladyzhyn I, Ladyzhyn II, Samchintsi, Skibyntsi, Sokiltsi, Trostyanets) and Trypil culture (Borysivka, Velyki Yaruzhki, Verbivka I, Verbivka II, Gunchanske, Ivanky, Klishchiv, Pechera, Rakhnianske, Soroka, Ulanivka, Chortorija). They are chronologically systematized and a scientific interpretation is presented. Conclusions. The archaeologist was the first in Vinnytsia to start a systematic study of Neolithic monuments. He managed to find out the peculiarities of material culture and present his own interpretation of the development of the population of that time. The discussion about the published conclusions of P. I. Havlyuk continues.
