The role of the poles in the development of the sugar industry of the division and their part in the conditions order of the NKVD Union

Abstract

The article analyzes the problems of development of sugar modernization of Ukraine in the conditions of Soviet industrialization. Based on the work, a wide range of both published works and new and in-depth researched documents of the Union bodies and the State Archives of Vinnitsa region, the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory (Kiev) and the Polish Institute of National Memory (Warsaw). Thanks to them, the focus is on little-known events and facts. It is revealed that among the repressed victims of the "Polish operation" of the NKVD the overwhelming majority were Poles, but there were also representatives of other nationalities, including Ukrainians. The truth and decency of the management and specialists of the regional sugar trust and factories have been documented. Historical memory calls for the continued deepening of the known and the search for the new fate of the repressed sugar workers of Podillya.It is important to emphasize that such legally unfounded and unproven indictments and rulings ended with transfers to extrajudicial authorities relatively quickly (in 2-3 months). The sentence was one - the execution with confiscation of property. By the way, not later than the second day of its implementation.
 Based on the above, it follows that the "Polish operation" in the sugar industry of Ukraine on the example of Vinnitsa testified promptness of the NKVD bodies in the agreement of J. Stalin, who on the basis of his personal nature wanted to avenge the unsuccessful campaign and the crushing defeat of the Red Army with the slogan "! " in 1920 near Warsaw.
 It seems that the researchers still have a lot to find out, to tell about the terrible consequences of Stalinist totalitarianism in Ukraine. Historical memory awaits the discovery of little-known names of citizens of republics of different nationalities, the perpetuation of their patriotic actions. Historians, lawyers, political scientists, specialists in other specialties are still heavily indebted to the victims of disenfranchisement, and local authorities and self-government bodies should think about preserving the memory of these names in the names of new streets, avenues, squares.
