Ukrainian liberation movement, national revival, Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, Ukrainian Insurgent Army, modern domestic historiographyAbstract
The aim of the study is to analyze the establishment of issues related to the Ukrainian liberation movement as a field of scientific studies in the works of contemporary domestic historians against the backdrop of socio-political processes of the second half of the 1980s to the mid-1990s.
The scientific novelty lies in the fact that modern Ukrainian historiography virtually lacks comprehensive works that thoroughly analyze the preconditions for studying, thematic niche, and problems in the research of the history of subjects of the Ukrainian liberation movement during the late 1930s to the mid-1950s.
The relevance of the Ukrainian scholars’ research on the national liberation movement, especially during the period of World War II and the post-war years, was primarily driven by socio-political transformations, which, unfolding within the context of the final phase of restructuring processes, led to a crisis and the inevitable collapse of the soviet state. This, in turn, enabled the freedom of historical thought, revealed perspectives for rethinking previously completely forbidden topics of historical past, and allowed for their comparative analysis with global historical processes.
Conclusions. It is asserted that the processes of limited political liberalization of the soviet regime, caused by restructuring and the activation of Ukrainian national revival in the late 1980s to early 1990s, led to increased interest in the study of the history of the Ukrainian liberation movement and the struggle of its key subjects - the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). This, in turn, necessitated an objective historical and legal assessment of their activities.
