Theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of the Economic history of Ukraine

The purpose of the article. To carry out the analysis of the basic theoretical-methodological and sourcestudying problems of the economic history of Ukraine, in particular: determination of the problem of informativeness, representativeness; the reliability of the source database; scientific critique of large arrays of sources and peculiarities of using the whole range of historical sources in the study of economic history of Ukraine problems in different historical epochs, as well as the possibilities of involving scientific tools of other sciences to solve certain research problems. Methods of specific scientific activity, methods of empirical research and general logical methods were used in the article. Main results. The article describes the main theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of the economic history of Ukraine. It was noted the contradictions of the process of development of economic history in Ukraine in particular, the lack of proper scientific cooperation between historians and economists. Also, it was emphasized, that the institutionalization of the economic history of Ukraine and the complex interdisciplinary approach to the methodology of studying problems of the economic history thanks to the borrowing of theories and methods from other sciences, make it possible to achieve a specific goal and research objectives and allow gaining new knowledge. The most informative sources for different periods of economic history of Ukraine were identified and the theoretical-methodological problems of their use were analyzed. Conclusions. The analysis of the main theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of the economic history of Ukraine, conducted in the article, showed the necessity of a complex and interdisciplinary nature of the choice of both methodological approaches and actually, the choice of the source base for such researches. An important paradigm of scientific studies in economic history is the use by researchers the full range of sources, which are typical to different historical periods and the choice of appropriate methodological basis, which allows to determine the informativeness, representativeness, reliability of the source base, to conduct scientific critique of large arrays of sources, and, most importantly, allow to solve set by researcher specific scientific tasks. The modern development of scientific studies in the economic history of Ukraine requires their institutionalization and development of theoretical and methodological approaches to the whole complex of problems and challenges, that facing scientists. The institutionalization of the economic history of the Ukraine should ensure the cooperation of scientists working on its various components and it also allows involving specialists from other fields of knowledge to the implementation of research projects. We fully support the thesis that economic history should serve as a "meeting place" for specialists in various sciences, especially historians, economists and lawyers. It is this scientific cooperation of economists and historians, as well as experts in statistics, materials science, cartography, physical and historical geography, and their methodological tools, that will enhance such research and enable new knowledge to be acquired. Unfortunately, usage of methods and techniques from other sciences by historians not always leads to objective research results. The practical significance of the article lies in the possibility of using the main of the basic theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of the economic history of Ukraine in own studies, in particular concerning the choice of the sources base for researches and the methodology of its analysis. Originality. Many years of experience in own scientific researches in the field of economic history, especially the history of finance, as well as the analysis of many works on this issue, allows the authors of the article to focus attention on the most complex theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of the economic history of Ukraine. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the basic theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of different periods in economic history. Type of the article: methodological.

The paper is devoted to the study of the development of psychiatry and its establishment as a science in the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The leading method of research was the analysis and synthesis of historical sources of the 19th to 21st centuries. The historical analysis of the development of psychiatry was carried out through the study of the life and scientific path of Ivan Sikorsky, Mykhailo Lapinsky, Volodymyr Seletsky, who were the founders of psychiatry as an academic discipline in Ukraine. In 2020, 135 years have passed since the foundation of the Department of Nervous and Mental Diseases in the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The founders of the department are well-known talented scientists, whose activities have enriched psychiatric science. But from 1920 to 2019, psychiatry as a science and a subject of teaching disappeared from the University. Psychiatry received its further development at the university in 2019, with establishment of the Institute of Psychiatry. The practical significance of the study lies in the substantial contribution to the history of domestic medical science, in particular, mental disorder studies, as well as the possibility of using the findings in the teaching of an educational course in psychiatry.

The case is now in the Branch State Archive of the Security Service of Ukraine. The article provides an analysis of the materials found and the systematization of information in an attempt to recreate the biography of one of the library staff repressed by the Soviet government. The research methodology consists in the application of research methods of sources to search and analyze the documentary historical sources, as well as in use of a problem-chronological approach to historical research, which allows not only to highlight certain biographical moments, but also to highlight events that were associated with the history of one of the largest libraries of Ukraine, while pointing to the activities of the Soviet punitive and repressive system in relation to the cultural heritage of the past. The scientific novelty is a practical significance in expanding the biography of P. F. Pavlovskyy with previously unknown data, as well as the enrichment of the personalistic history of Ukrainian librarianship in Kiev and in the whole Ukraine. In conclusion, this course of a biographical study can attract not only a wider range of archival documents, including those which are currently stored in the Branch State Archive of the Security Service of Ukraine, but also the return of a forgotten national history; can supplement and fill in some gaps in past studies particulary in biographical studies. Thus, the article reconstructs the biography of librarian P. F. Pavlovsky based on the archive-investigation case.
