Ukrainian SSR working class in the postwar period: the inception of Soviet historiography of the topic (1946-1953)
Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The article analyzes the process of the inception and formation of the Soviet historiography of the Ukrainian SSR working class after the war. The author argues that the first postwar essays focus on the high rate of industry recovery, raise of the cultural and technical level of the working class. The brochures of the first postwar years with statistics of gross output volumes provide the information only about the achievements of the Soviet planned economy, its advantage over market relations. Subjective, politically motivated selection of facts favorable for the party doctrine, closed archives and a critical shortage of documentary publications reduced the scientific value of these works to the level of journalism, and the social and political conditions of Soviet reality brought the role of scientists to commenting and illustrating exclusively positive aspects. At the same time the works of the first postwar years formed the basis of the formation process of the Soviet historical literature on the Ukrainian SSR postwar working class topic with its myths and contradictions; the Soviet concept of the problem began to emerge and be established.
