Sacred monuments of Western Ukraine in the context of antireligious policy in the second half of the 1940s and the early 1970s: historiography of the problem
Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The article deals with the state of the scientific studying of sacred monuments’ fate of the western region of the Ukrainian SSR as one of the objects of the Soviet government’s antireligious policy in the second half of the 1940s and the early 1970s and the activity connected with the monuments protection of that time. For a more thorough analysis of the scientific literature on the subject, the history of its study is divided into two main periods: the Soviet (second half of the 1940s – 1991) and the period of independent Ukraine (since 1991). It is indicated that the first publications on a given topic refer to the end of the 1950s and the early 1960s. It is emphasized that works of the Soviet scholars dealing with this issue are marked by their ideology, covering its various aspects one-sidedly. More substantive development of issues of cultural heritage protection, including sacred monuments, is inherent in the publications of the 1960s. It is concluded that many problems of cultural heritage protection in the republic were concealed in the 1970s and 1980s, including its western regions, and it concerned also the loss of the sacred heritage. From the late 1980s and the early 1990s up to the present, research interest in the topic was activated, the number of publications increased significantly and their range was expanded. It is noted that this problem is reflected in historiography fragmentarily, mainly in the all-Ukrainian context. Information about the fate of sacred monuments, measures for their salvation are presented, mostly, in the context of the study of local lore.
