명성황후의 국정 개입 실태와 권력 행사 방식 연구 - 황후의 편지를 중심으로

As a result of classifying 146 Korean letters written by Empress Myeongseong, the contents regarding Empress’ involvement in personnel issues and overall state affairs, letters concerning international issues while understanding trends of Qing, and letters that attempted to eavesdrop on the Daewongun’s trends and news account for 63% of the total letters. As for characteristics, first, the Empress’s letters were mainly written from immediately after the Im-O Military Revolt in 1882 to the period when the Donghak Peasant Revolution broke out in 1894. Second, the Empress indiscriminately intervened in personnel issues including major central government posts, local government posts. The Empress received requests combined with money through Min Yeong-so and people around him, and then consulted with Emperor Gojong to decide and inform the positions and approvals of such posts. The Empress’s way of exercising her power was limited and could only be done with Emperor Gojong’s consent, permission, and implicit agreement. Third, the empress was very sensitive to political issues enough to receive the petitions submitted to the court on the same day. Fourth, the empress maintained conflicting relationship with Daewongun amid tensions over power. Fifth, Empress Myeongseong also quickly understood and responded to the international situation surrounding Joseon. She observed the movements of people such as Yuan Shikai, Li Hongzhang, Ma Jianzhong, and Wang Shichang, and tried to analyze immediate political situations by keeping track of major events in the Qing Dynasty. Sixth, the empress provided the information and data she had earned to her family, the Min clan so that they could use them as guidelines for their actions, while she was very anxious to stabilize the Gojong regime.

Siberian Regionalism as a Phenomenon of Social Thought in Late Imperial Russia

Abstract This article considers regionalism (oblastnichestvo) as an independent direction in the history of Russian thought and culture. Four varieties of regionalism are pointed out: Russian, Ukrainian, Siberian, and Western Russianism (zapadnorussizm), which held the principles of federalism in common. The philosophical and methodological basis of regionalism was narodnichestvo (populism)—the ideology and movement of the intelligentsia in Russia in the second half of the nineteenth century. Narodnichestvo was against serfdom and capitalist development in Russia, and for the overthrow of the autocracy by means of a peasant revolution, positivism, and Slavophilism. The program of the regionalists was addressed to the provincial intelligentsia and was largely aimed at the formation of an intelligentsia called to serve their region. The program of Siberian regionalism is considered in more detail.

『Hongjae Diary(1866-1911)』 is a diary written by Ki Haeng-hyeon(1843-?) who lived in Buan-gun, Jeolla-do. Ki haeng-hyeon recorded events, news, and rumors in Gobu, Taein, Namwon, and Jeonju, where the Donghak Peasant Revolution took place. He also recorded the trends of Yeonghakdang and Hwajeok, which were called the remaining forces of Donghak. The central government recognized it as a group like Donghak and the righteous army and suppressed the righteous army commander. In this way, Donghak-gun which was disbanded after the Donghak Peasant Revolution, continued its momentum as the remaining forces of Donghak, such as Yeonghakdang, Hwajeok, and Sujeok. Amid the continued suppression of the Donghak, the Iljinhoe was organized, and a person working as a Iljinhoe appeared in Buan. Iljinhoe intervened in local government authority and was also involved in the administration of village. This power of Iljinhoe was further strengthened when the Russo-Japanese War ended with Japan's victory and Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 was signed. Since the signing of the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905, righteous army has occurred in all parts of the country. The activities of the righteous army became stronger with the abdication of Gojong and the dissolution of the Korean army in 1907. Ki Haeng-hyeon recorded the size of the righteous army identified through newspapers, the murder or expulsion of local officials. After the Donghak Peasant Revolution, Donghak-gun in Honam returned to Yeonghakdang and continued its momentum as the remaining forces of Donghak including Hwajeok, and Sujeok. In an era when the sovereignty of the country was lost, Donghak's remaining forces were converted to righteous army by fighting against the Japanese army. Donghak-gun, suppressed by the Japanese military, rejoined the ranks of resistance against Japanese invasion as a righteous army.

장편서사시에 반영된 부안 동학농민혁명 고찰

이 논문의 목적은 장편서사시에 반영된 부안 동학농민혁명을 살펴보고자 하는 데 있다. 대상 시집은 신동엽의 『금강』(1967), 안도섭의 『황토현의 횃불』(1979), 장효문의 『서사시 전봉준』(1982), 송수권의 『새야 새야 파랑새야』(1987), 이병훈의 『녹두장군』(1990), 박영복의 『동학농민전쟁』(1994), 김용관의 『파랑새 전봉준』(1997) 등이다. 이 논문에서 고찰한 장편서사시들은 봉건적 질서를 타파하고 외세의 침탈을 물리쳐 주체적인 근대국가를 이룩하려는 부안 동학농민혁명의 정신을 반영하고 있다. 1894년 3월 부안에서 열린 백산대회는 그 동학농민혁명의 출발이었다. 백산에 집결한 동학농민군은 전봉준을 대장으로 추대하는 등 진영을 갖추었고, 혁명의 대의를 마련했으며, 기율을 확립했다. 동학농민혁명이 전국적으로 확대해 나가는 데 토대를 마련한 것이다. 이 논문으로 부안 동학농민혁명을 반영한 시작품들에 관한 연구가 확산되고, 시인들의 창작 성과가 늘어나길 기대한다. 부안 동학농민혁명은 3·1운동, 4·19혁명, 5·18광주민주화운동, 촛불혁명 등을 이끈 역사의 거울이라고 평가할 수 있다.

Conception of the “Peasant Revolution in 1917” by Andrii Shestakov (about forgotten scientific achievements and the disputability of modern achievements)

The famous historian of agrarian history Andrii Shestakov in the 1920s in his scholarly studies as to 1917 in Russia used the term "peasant revolution". In such a situation, the modern scientific school of V. Danilov came up with the concept of the peasant revolution of the early twentieth century which he presents as the latest achievement of historical science. Due to this situation, the question arises about the primacy in the formation of the concept of peasant revolution. The aim of the article is presented to expose Andrii Shestakov's interpretation of the term "peasant revolution" and to show its relation to the modern concept of V. Danilov and his supporters. Andrii Shestakov regarded the revolutionary struggle of the peasantry in 1917 as an independent socio-political phenomenon. It took place in several stages. At first, it was relatively peaceful, hoping for a solution to the agrarian issue by the authorities. From March to May, the peasants actively appealed to various instances. They rarely resorted to radical action. In May – July 1917, the peasant movement became more organised. Its representatives were the executive committees of the parish and the land committees. In August – October peaceful methods of struggle were replaced by the peasantry force measures to seize landlords. From the end of October 1917 the revolutionary struggle of the peasantry merged into one stream with the revolutionary struggle of the workers, which led to the victory of the revolution. At the end of 1917 – in the beginning of 1918 there was a liquidation of the landed land ownership and transfer to the peasantry on the basis of the Soviet power legislation. Andrii Shestakov pointed to the low level of political parties` influence, as well as the revolutionary authorities and other institutions on the actions of the peasantry. Rural communities were the real organizer and leader of the revolutionary struggle of the peasantry. Andrii Shestakov considered the peasant revolution of 1917 to be victorious, and defined its character as bourgeois-democratic. As a result of this revolution, peasant land use per capita increased, on average, from 1¾ to 2¼ people. It is positively impacts on the peasant economy and the transfer of landlord inventory. As a result of the research, Andrii Shestakov's understanding of the concept "peasant revolution" is revealed, and thus shows the true origins of the concept of peasant revolution. The modern scientific school of the peasant revolution actually has its authoritative predecessors. In the 1920s, the concept of the peasant revolution was developed by Andrii Shestakov. According to the Shestakov`s concept the peasantry in the conditions of the revolutionary struggle of 1917 acted as an autonomous socio-political force. In its political behavior, it was beyond the control of political parties and urban social strata, and manifested a capacity for self-organization. The withdrawal from the scientific and cognitive use and forgetting the concept of the peasant revolution of 1917 came under pressure from the socio-political situation in the USSR. The consequences of this are tangible even in today's context, and still most historians do not see in the peasantry the self-sufficient power of revolutionary change. The conceptual similarity of Andrii Shestakov vision of the revolutionary struggle in 1917 and the modern scientific school of the peasant revolution indicates that the creative heritage of the scientist can be synthesized with modern methodological tools of historical science.

The Peasant Revolution in Naddniprianshchyna (1917–1920) on the pages of «The Chervona Kalyna Chronicle»

The purpose of the article is to explore and evaluate the attitude towards the events of the peasant revolution in Naddniprianshchyna among the eyewitnesses – soldiers of the Galician units, participants of the national liberation movement of 1914–1921 in «Greater Ukraine». Research methods: historical-chronological, comparative, and descriptive. The main results: the article reveals the specifics of the military-historical memoirs published on the pages of the journal «The Chervona Kalyna Chronicle», as a source of the history of the Peasant revolution in Naddniprianshchyna. Four categories of authors writing for «The Chervona Kalyna Chronicle» on peasant issues were identified: participants of the Ukrainian national movement in Naddniprianshchyna (M. Mykhailyk, F. Meleshko, Ya. Vodianyi); prisoners of war of the Austro-Hungarian army and the Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen (S. Stechyshyn, V. Struk); senior officers of the «Kyiv» Sich Riflemen (I. Andrukh and I. Vyslotskyi); foremen and riflemen of the UGA (Ukrainian Galician Army). The first two categories of authors were either local residents or lived among the peasantry for a long time and painted a coherent, albeit contradictory, picture of the development of events in the Ukrainian countryside in 1917 – early 1918: their main concern was the activation of national-democratic forces and the growth of social struggle in peasants against landlords, radicalization of military-political confrontation. The authors of the third category, who came from the ranks of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen, pointed out the indifferent attitude of the peasants to the national idea, traced the evolution of the attitudes of the peasantry of Naddniprianshchyna under the conditions of the Hetmanate of P. Skoropadskyi and other political regimes. The fourth group of authors (the UGA soldiers) is the largest. Their articles are devoted to the turning points in the development of the Ukrainian revolution: the transition to Zbruch, the typhus epidemic, and the split of the UGA, alliances with the Volunteer Army of A. Denikin and the Bolsheviks. Against the background of these military and political events, the problem of relations between the military and the peasantry can be clearly traced throughout the entire path of the UGA. The UGA soldiers focused their attention on such negative phenomena among the peasants as desertion, reluctance to fight for Ukrainian statehood, theft of military property, and hostile attitude towards sick soldiers. At the same time, the UGA soldiers contributed to the growth of the national consciousness of the population of Naddniprianshchyna. The mosaic fragments of relations with the peasantry, which contain memories, diaries, and essays of the UGA soldiers, are a valuable source of the history of the Peasant revolution in Naddniprianshchyna in 1917–1920. Practical significance: the results of the research can be useful in conducting general studies on the peasantry, compiling textbooks, and training manuals, in the preparation of lectures and seminar courses in institutions of higher education, and in local history workshops. Scientific innovation: for the first time, a complex of military-historical memoirs published in the «The Chervona Kalyna Chronicle» has been summarized and considered in the context of peasant research discourse and, in particular, the peasant revolution. Type of the article: research.

동학농민혁명을 계승한 부안의 민족운동

본 연구의 목적은 동학농민혁명을 계승한 부안의 민족운동과 그 내용을 살펴보는 데 있다. 이를 위해서 부안 동학농민혁명의 흐름을 파악하였다. 부안의 동학과 동학농민혁명은 ‘花開於扶安 結實於扶安’, 그리고 동학농민혁명의 본격적인 시작이 된 ‘백산대회’로 요약할 수 있다. 최시형이 남긴 ‘화개어부안 결실어부안’은 장치 “부안에서 꽃을 피우고, 결실을 보리라.”는 기대감을 나타낸다. 백산대회는 호남 일대 군중이 혁명군을 조직하고, 실질적인 동학농민혁명의 시작을 알린 역사적인 사건이었다. 다음으로 1895년 을미의병과 1905년 을사의병, 그리고 1910년 경술국치 이후 의병항쟁과 일제강점기 독립운동에 나선 부안을 연고(緣故)로 하는 수많은 우국지사와 독립운동가 137명을 살펴보았다. 그렇지만, 아쉽게도 이들이 동학농민혁명을 계승하였다는 직접적인 연계 고리를 찾지 못하였다. 그나마 학산 정갑수와 호암수도원을 통해, 동학과 동학농민혁명 정신이 면면히 이어졌으며, 오늘날 그 흔적을 호남수도원에서 찾을 수 있었다. 학산이 직접 작성하지 않았으나 지인(知人) 김종민이 쓴 『학산경력사』는 그간 학계에 소개되지 않았다. 구체적인 내용에 있어서 검증이 필요하지만, 동학과 동학농민혁명을 계승하며 치열하게 살았던 학산의 인간적인 삶과 조국의 독립을 염원하며 실천적인 삶을 살았던 궤적을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 향후 『학산경력사』 등 새로운 자료 발굴과 심층적인 연구를 통해 그 실체가 밝혀지기를 기대한다.

부안 동학농민혁명의 문화콘텐츠 활용방안 연구

이 연구의 목적은 부안지역 동학농민혁명의 흐름을 고찰하여 부안지역 동학농민혁명의 역사적 의의를 도출하고, 부안 동학농민혁명의 문화콘텐츠 활용 현황을 분석하고 발전 방향을 제시하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 부안 동학농민혁명의 전개 과정을 스토리텔링으로 고찰하여 역사 문화콘텐츠 활용의 바탕을 마련하였다. 이어서 동학농민혁명을 소재로 한 문화콘텐츠 현황을 고찰하고, <부안동학문화기념관>의 독창적인 문화콘텐츠로 활용하는 방안을 제안했다. 주 제안은, <부안동학문화기념관>은 특성화된 홈페이지 제작으로, 첨단 미디어 문화콘텐츠로 다른 지역 기념관과 차별화되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 부안지역 동학농민혁명 연구가 심화 되고, 이에 근거한 다양한 스토리텔링과 개성 있는 지역 문화콘텐츠가 개발되어야 한다.

The “golden age” of Russian serfdom

The article attempts to show the apogee of Russian serfdom as one of the most significant direct and immediate results of Peter the Great’s transformations. The proprietary (proprietorial) interest of the landed gentry in relation to the local lands and peasants received a previously unthinkable impulse due to Peter’s elevation of the status of estates to patrimonial, as well as the erasure of the legal boundary between serfs and peasants by turning both into “audit souls” during the tax reform. Already in the last years of Peter the Great’s reign, the authorities were inclined to identify the right of landlords to peasants with the right to immovable property in the context of the evolution of serfdom in Russia. The article discusses in detail the practice of distribution by emperors and empresses of lands with peasants into ownership as a reward for special merits. The author analyzed the post-Petrine legislation that expanded the class privileges of the nobility and strengthened their ownership rights in relation to landlords and peasants. Particular attention is paid to the practice of selling landlord peasants without land and with the separation of families. The historical significance of Peter’s and post-Peter’s policies of a sharp strengthening of the ownership (proprietary) rights of nobles to land and peasants in their estates lies primarily in the accumulation of a powerful conflict potential in Russian society for the long term. The “time bomb” laid by Peter I and his immediate successors in the inter-verbal relations of the local nobility and the peasantry dependent on it will explode at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it will give rise to a great peasant revolution in Russia.

Panchayat and colonialism in Humayun Kabir’s Men and Rivers

ABSTRACT Bengali peasants, as portrayed in Humayun Kabir’s 1945 novel Men and Rivers, have admirable notions of morality and justice, epitomized by the indigenous panchayat (village council/court) system. Written against the backdrop of peasant movements and anti-colonial struggles in Bengal, the novel implicitly provides an economic and cultural critique of British rule in the region. This article situates the text in colonial Bengal and the peasant revolutions of the 1930s. Referring to Frantz Fanon’s valorization of the peasants, it discusses Kabir’s depiction in Men and Rivers of the simplicity, integrity, and altruism of the peasantry as opposed to the sleaze and hypocrisy of colonialism and colonial modernity. It juxtaposes panchayat and colonialism to show the native peasants’ egalitarian potential and the encroaching colonizers’ exploitative motives, looks at Kabir’s celebration of rural traditions, and compares the South Asian panchayat system to its African counterparts – djemaas in northern, and kgotla in southern, Africa.

Origin of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea -Focusing on Reform Plans of DongHak Peasant Revolution

「대한민국 헌법」의 기원을 찾는 작업은 우리 헌법에 대한 좀 더 깊은 이해를 담보하고, 우리나라의 정체성에 대해 더욱 명확한 규명을 할 수 있다는 점에서 매우 필요한 일이다. 「대한민국 헌법」의 기원이 되는 원시헌법문서의 후보로는 갑신정변의 「정강 14조」(1884), 동학농민혁명의 각종 「폐정개혁안들」(1894), 갑오개혁의 「홍범 14조」(1895), 만민공동회의 「헌의 6조」(1898), 대한제국의 「대한국국제」(1899)를 들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 원시헌법문서의 다섯 가지 인정기준에 비춰볼 때 위 5개의 문서 중 「폐정개혁안들」과 「헌의 6조」가 원시헌법문서에 해당하고, 「폐정개혁안들」이 「헌의 6조」보다 시기적으로 4년이나 빠르므로 결국 「대한민국 헌법」의 기원은 「폐정개혁안들」에서 찾아야 한다고 본다. 하지만 「폐정개혁안들」 중 「폐정개혁안 12조」에 대해서는 역사적 실재성 여부가 문제되고, 「폐정개혁안들」 자체가 원시헌법문서로 인정될 수 있는지 여부에 대해서도 논란이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 우선, 「폐정개혁안들」의 전제가 되는 동학의 핵심 사상(시천주)과 동학농민혁명의 전개 과정에 대해 살펴보았다. 이어 「폐정개혁안 12조」의 역사적 실재성 여부에 대해서는 「폐정개혁안 12조」를 기술한 『동학사』의 사료적 가치를 인정할 수 있는 점, 「폐정개혁안 12조」는 집강소의 강령이었고 그 내용이 집강소의 폐정개혁 활동과 거의 부합한다는 점 등을 근거로 그 역사적 실재성이 충분히 인정될 수 있다고 보았다. 또한 동학농민혁명이 우리 민족 최초의 민중혁명이고, 집강소가 풀뿌리자치의 원형이므로 국민주권의 원리를 실제로 구현했다는 점, 경제&#65381;사회적 기본권 보장에 관한 내용이 담겨 있다는 점, 초보적 수준에서나마 권력분립을 지향했다는 점, 「폐정개혁안들」의 바탕을 이루는 시천주 사상은 인간 존엄성의 정수를 담고 있다는 점, 3&#65381;1운동 및 대한민국 임시정부와 연계성이 충분하다는 점 등을 근거로 「폐정개혁안들」은 「대한민국 헌법」의 기원이 되는 원시헌법문서로 인정될 수 있다고 보았다.

Автопародия в творчестве Всеволода Иванова

The paper considers self-parody as a kind of self-reflection in the works of Vsevolod Ivanov in the 1910s-1920s. The most striking and well-known self-parody example is the image of the Chinese Shin-Bin-Wu in the adventurous novel “Iprit” that comically reinterprets one of the plot twists and the same type of character in the famous story about the Civil War “Bronepoezd 14-69”. The origins of the self-parody are not due to external reasons: the social order for the “Krasny Pinkerton,” communication between Ivanov, as a member of the “Serapionov Brothers” group, and theorists and practitioners of literary parody. Ivanov’s self-parody is conditioned by internal sources. The works of the 1910s reveal the young writer’s tendency to embody the main topics and motifs of his work almost simultaneously in tragic and comic variants. It is suggested that the writer’s self-parodies of 1918s-1919s originate from his awareness of the illusory nature of his aspirations and ideals and the impossibility of their realization. Also, a parody autobiography of 1922, in the spirit of “The Three Musketeers,” interpreting the tragic events of the Civil War in Siberia, self-parodies of the 1920s (the peasant revolution, the “secret secrets” of the human soul, the ideals of the “hearth-house” and the “mother and comforter of sorrows” destroyed during the revolutionary period) are assumed to be the author’s attempt to renounce some facts of his real or artistic biography, his desire to internally confirm for himself the correctness of his new path in life and art.

Концепція «демократичної, селянсько-міщансько-козацької революції 1648–1649 рр.» академіка Покровського

The purpose of the article is to reveal the views of the famous historian of the first third of the 20-th century M. Pokrovskyi (1868–1932) on the events of the mid-17th century in Ukraine. The methodology of the research: Modern historiography confirms the revolutionary nature of the events of the mid XVIIth century in Ukraine. Similar positions were expressed in historical science at the beginning of the last century, and serve as a guide for modern researchers. However, M. Pokrovskyi's views on this issue are not taken into account. Therefore, the historical-genetic method is based on elucidating the origins of the concepts of revolutionary change in Ukraine in the mid-XVIIth century. As a result of its use, an analysis of M. Pokrovskyi`s scientific heritage wasconducted. The scientific novelty of the article is to clarify the views of the famous historian of the first third of the 20th century M. Pokrovskyi (1868–1932) on the events of the mid-17th century in Ukraine, which have not been specifically studied before. Conclusions: The events in Ukraine in the mid-XVIIth century M. Pokrovskyi identified as a bourgeois revolution. As a bourgeois class, the scholar considered the cossacks, a way of life associated with commodity-money relations. Pokrovskyi also assessed the social aspirations of the peasantry as bourgeois. At the same time, the interests of the cossacks and peasants, according to the scholar`s view, were fundamentally different. The chronology, territorial location and organization of the cossack and peasant demonstrations also differed. But during 1648–1649 there was an alliance of cossacks and peasants against the Polish nobility. In the following period, the cossacks set out to transform their class into a privileged feudal state, opposed themselves to the peasant masses, and the cossack and peasant revolutions diverged in the directions of their development. According tothe scholar`s view, the Polish government was looking for opportunities to reconcile with the cossacks, but attempts were unsuccessful. Pokrovskyi explained Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's alliance with the Russian state by the existence of a threat from the Polish-Russian alliance against Ukraine.

James Scott and Alexander Chayanov: From the peasantry through revolutions, to the states, and anarchies

The author conducts a systematic comparative analysis of the scientific worldviews and key research ideas of the American political anthropologist James Scott and the Russian agrarian economist Alexander Chayanov, to show their similar interests in the study of peasant revolutions, state systems, and anarchist ideas. Based on the identified similarities and differences in the milestones of their intellectual biographies, the author compares Scott’s concept of the first ancient autarkic states with Chayanov’s abstract economic-mathematical models of island-states. The article describes the contradictions and failures of modern projects for transforming the nature and society by state bureaucracies as revealed in the studies of Scott and Chayanov, and emphasizes the interest of both scholars in the potential of the anarchist epistemological and political ideas for the development of the scientific theory and political practice of interaction between society and the state. The author argues that Scott and Chayanov are not orthodox anarchists insisting on the complete disappearance of the state; they believe that the Leviathan statehood is impossible and, perhaps, not necessary to destroy. However, in their research, both Scott and Chayanov constantly raise questions about the ways to limit and weaken the power of the state bureaucracy with various forms of non-state public life associated with the anarchist ideas of self-organization, spontaneity, and freedom.

«The chronicle of the red guelder rose» as a source from the history of the peasant revolution in Dnipro Ukraine (1917–1920)

Purpose. The purpose of the research is to find out the source-scientific potential ofpublications on peasant topics in «The Chervona Kalyna Chronicle» magazine (1929–1939).Scientific novelty. It is for the first time that the author of the article analyzed the source valueof the periodical for the study of the peasant revolution in Naddnipryanshchyna in 1917–1920.Conclusion. The article has defined the circle of authors of the «The Chervona Kalyna Chronicle», who included materials on peasant topics in their posts, and classified these publications.The following types of «The Chervona Kalyna Chronicle» publications have been distinguishedby genre and species: memories (war memoirs), diaries, and historical and military essays (shorthistorical articles). According to the origin of the authors and their affiliation to certain militaryformations, three groups of works have been distinguished: posts of war prisoners (of the Austrianarmy, Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen); memories of direct participants of the peasant revolution, natives of Naddnipryanshchyna; works of soldiers of the Sich Riflemen, Ukrainian GalicianArmy and the Ukrainian People’s Republic army (the last group is the most numerous).It has been established that the chronological boundaries of «The Chervona Kalyna Chronicle»publications on peasant topics, as well as the territorial localization of the covered events, are determined by the author’s time and place of stay on the territory of Naddnipryanshchyna. The periodof the second half of 1919 – early 1920 was reproduced in more detail through the efforts of thesoldiers of the UGA. In the territorial dimension, «The Chervona Kalyna Chronicle» publicationspresented certain aspects of the history of the peasant revolution in certain localities of almost theentire Naddnipryanshchyna.It has been found that the authors of the memoirs revealed many aspects of the peasant revolution: pogroms by peasants of landlord estates, the nature of the policy of reconciliation withlandlords, the phenomenon of peasant republics, features of national and cultural life and peasantattitudes in different regions. The most informative sources for the study of the peasant revolution incertain regions for a long time have been the memoirs of M. Mykhailyk, F. Meleshko, and the articleof K. Ario. It has been concluded that the publications of the magazine can serve as an additionalsource for the study of insufficiently researched pages of the peasant revolution in Naddnipryanshchyna of the period 1917–1920, in particular, its social and political aspects (clarification of theattitudes of the peasantry, its relations with the military).
