Journal Title: Матеріали і дослідження з археології Прикарпаття і Волині - Year 2018, Vol 22, Issue
Abstract
The development of archaeological science in Ukraine during the Soviet period is closely associated with the activities of Lazarus Slavin (1906–1971) – Member of the Academy of Sciences, specialist at ancient Greek studies, candidate of histotical sciences, professor, founder and head of the department of archeology and museology at Taras Shevchenko Kyiv State University Taras Shevchenko. The professional activity of Lazarus Slavin coincided with a difficult period for science when research objectives were not those of objectivity and scientific merit, but concepts and dogmas defined by the state as articles of faith. This is why this dissertation is looking at this activity not only from the standpoint of evolution of scientific thought but also in terms of political influence, not only upon Lazarus Slavin, but the humanitarian science as a whole. It is quite probable that during his entire scientific career Lazarus Slavin has remained a Soviet researcher, whose methodological principal was that of a formation. However, his professional and personal qualities, work experience and the love for archaeology have enabled him to reinstate Kyiv archaeological institute as a powerful centre of Soviet science after the repressions of 1930s and the devastation of the World War II.
