Journal Title: Історичний архів. Наукові студії - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 19
Abstract
Studying declassified cases from the SSU (The Security Service of Ukraine) archives, a modern scholar can figure out what methods Stalinist regime used to intimidate the population and hold it under. In current research, using one criminal case as an example, is shown a fate of regular peasants – citizens of Mykulintsi village in Pokuttya.Their only blame was a fact that during the Second Commonwealth they were members of patriotic associations "Prosvita", "RidnaShkola", and also their attempts to support the families of arrested fellow villagers. To provide the lawfulness to "justice", punitive organs used unlawful pressure methods on prisoners (midnight interrogations, threats, blackmail, methods of physical influence). Investigators tried to fabricate group cases as long as their participants were to receive the highest level of punishment. Only in the context of Ukraine gaining its independence, most illegally convicted were rehabilitated.However the fate of a large part of the repressed ones by Moscow-communist regime is still unknown. From time to time fraternal graves of Stalinism victims buried in haste are revealed. Theanalogy is also conducted by the author between the events of the 1930s – early 1950s and the activities of the repressive organs of the Russian Federation in the occupied Ukrainian Crimea in order to intimidate the Crimean Tatars and Ukrainian patriots.
