The ideas of heads of Soviet enterprises from different regions of the country concerning the socio-economic development of the USSR, expressed at a meeting in Moscow in 1983, are analyzed. The socio-psychological characteristics that were inherent in the Soviet economic leaders at the regional level, who were involved in discussing the problems of ‘improving the economic mechanism’, are studied in detail. The source base of the study includes documents from the Russian  State  Archive of Socio-Political History and the Center for Documentation of the Recent History of the Yaroslavl Region, oral history data (interviews with representatives of the regional authorities of the 1970s-1980s, which were personally conducted by the author of the article) and scientific literature. It is argued that the opinions of directors of the largest enterprises were perceived by party officials with the same level of trust as the opinions of representatives of the scientific community. It is concluded that the ideas of the party and economic activists intertwined the innovative nature of thinking with the dogmatic patterns of Soviet ideology. It is noted that the activities of the party and economic activists contributed to the formation of a kind of proto-bourgeoisie in the USSR in the 1970s-1980s. It is emphasized that the ideas of the party active on expanding the rights of enterprises and material incentives were a manifestation of latent capitalist tendencies. It is concluded that the main factor in the effective interaction of the regional ‘party economic functionaries’ with Moscow was close informal relations.

The article presents the analyses of the contemporary scientific understanding of the time gender aspects in the context of the social conflicts theories. It is accentuated that nowadays the life of the Ukrainian society is determined by two cultural codes: on the one hand, it is still the phase of the non-completed modernity project; on the other, – the western cultural postmodernity has been actively constructing its models of social practices in Ukraine for quite a number of recent years. Hence the specificity of social conflicts transformations in our country: contradictory modern and postmodern modes in their interrelation have a great impact on the social conflicts in Ukraine. It is significant that the typology of social conflicts and the motives for their origin are presented in this paper in their close interconnection with the aspects of the phenomenon of gender temporality, an attempt to manage the social temporality as the definite measurement of the social conflicts processes and their results. It is stressed that in the scientific literature the two temporality models prevail now: the mobilizing model and the model of the medium and eschatological time. These two models of gender temporality, namely, the mobilizing and eschatological ones, are analyzed and defined as such models that greatly influence the formation of the contemporary conflict-oriented social landscapes. The assumption of the gender temporality as a definite measurement of social conflicts and is accentuated by the concluding ideas of its actual capacity to be a kind of modus vivendi to their solution. The policy of the “unity of differences”, which is a basis of the contemporary feminist agenda, and the “ethics of care” should become a model for the current development of the Ukrainian society and the supposed future transformations.

Customs books are the main mass source on the history of domestic and foreign trade of Russia in the 17th – 18th centuries. The main body of these documents is available in various fonds of the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts. Customs books are also kept in several other archives, libraries, and museums in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Scientific literature provides information on the availability of documents of this type in some regional archives of the Russian Federation. However, no systematic identification and registration of customs books in regional archives has been made. In 2019–2020, the author of the article has carried out a survey of several regional archives that, according to the information in scientific literature, store customs books. The survey was mostly carried out in absentia (by sending written requests to the archives and by viewing digitized copies of archival series on the Internet). The information on the customs books found in the regional archives was compared with the data provided in the historiography. The survey has established presence of customs books in eight regional archives, including the State Archive of the Arkhangelsk Region (23 books), the State Archive of the Astrakhan Region (84), the State Archive of the Voronezh Region (4), the State Archive of the Irkutsk Region (13), the State Archive of the Murmansk Region (1), the State Archive of the Pskov Region (42), the State Archive of the Tyumen Region (201), the Velikoustyug Central Archives (2). In total, 370 such sources have been identified in 34 towns (about 10% of all currently known sources of this type). The revealed customs books date from 1646/47 to 1754. Their overwhelming majority are 18th century documents. The results of the customs books identification in the regional archives are preliminary, since only archives cited in historiography have been examined so far. In addition, the identified corpus of customs books demands clarification and supplementation, since references provided by the archives may be incomplete, and there are inaccuracies and omissions in the series. It is concluded that to collect comprehensive and accurate data on customs books in central and regional archives is only possible de visu.

The article publishes and analyzes the document – a memo on the agency work on exposing and eliminating the underground of the OUN of the Melnykivskyi direction on the territory of Chernivtsi region (May 16, 1947) (Sectoral State Archive of the Security Service of Ukraine, f. 13: a collection of printed editions of the KGB of the USSR, case 372, vol. 62, pp. 253-262), which is an important document both for the history of the confrontation of the Soviet repressive-punitive system with the Ukrainian liberation movement and for the history of the OUN (m). According to the information potential, the published document is quite large. It reveals the peculiarities of the agency work of Soviet law enforcement agencies on the methods of detection and liquidation of the Melnikyvskyi underground in the Chernivtsi region. The document gives a brief history of the formation and operation of the OUN (m) during 1940 – 1946, lists the persons arrested. At the same time, it is noted that to May 16, 1947, 286 were under suspicion of belonging to the OUN (m), and the categories of cases these persons were mentioned (26 agent cases, 4 case forms, 8 preliminary agent developments, 248 list accounting). It also gives a brief overview of the agent cases (“Trizubivtsi”, “Musejnyky”, “Nedobyti”), case forms, preliminary agent developments that are under the jurisdiction of UMDB of Chernivtsi region. The published excerpts from the secretarial cases show the extent of the search work of the Soviet security forces and the complete possession of their information. The information was collected and updated periodically about underground people not only in the USSR but also abroad. The article shows that the Soviet security forces played a central role in work with the agency in the complex of anti-nationalist measures. However, despite the mass pressure, the use of brutal methods of combating the repressive-punitive bodies against the Ukrainian liberation movement, the underground continued to operate in the Carpathian region of the OUN and enjoyed widespread public support. In addition, the development of the OUN (m) was shown as a separate direction for the work of Soviet security agencies. Although the latter did not have a broad network of operating centers in Western Ukraine, its former members were considered potentially dangerous to the Soviet administration, and thus went into development. At the same time, the development and identification of melnykivtsi continued not only in Ukraine but also abroad. Keywords: OUN (m), agency, Chernivtsi region, repressive and punitive bodies.

The article analyzes the course and results of the KGB investigation of the identification of the author of the self-published document «The Ukommunist Program» in the framework of the case of block operative development “Block” in 1972. This problem has not been studied in Ukrainian historiography yet. The basis of sources is previously classified documents of the Sectoral State Archive of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSA SSU) concerning the case «Block». During the investigation, KGB officers used various methods to obtain information about the authorship of the document. There are searches on the apartments of suspects, pressure on arrested dissidents during interrogations, textual and linguistic expertise of the text of «The Ucommunist Program», eavesdropping of the prison conversations, using spies inside the jail. In the spring of 1972, charges of writing, storing and distributing of «The Ucommunist Program» were brought to E. Sverstyuk, V. Chornovil, D. Shumuk, I. Svitlychny, M. Plahotniuk, Z. Antonyuk, V. Stus. In total, at least 17 people were suspected of being involved in the production and distribution of «The Ucommunist Program», ten of which belonged to the Kiev dissident cell and seven to the Lviv one. Due to controversial statements of imprisoned dissidents, their refusal to give testimony the efforts of the KGB workers in January–August 1972 were unsuccessful. Only nine months after the first discovery of a copy of «The Ucommunist Program», KGB officers were able to detect and crack down on its author, writer Vasyl Ruban. After his arrest, he flatly refused to cooperate with the investigation, did not answer questions from the KGB officers during interrogations, did not sign any protocols. The Soviet leadership decided to violence with the author of «The Ucommunist Program» by using psychiatric repression. The author of the article concludes that identifying dissidents involved in the production and distribution of the Communist Program was one of the key tasks of the KGB of the Ukrainian SSR in 1972. Keywords: «The Ucommunist Program», the case «Block», Vasyl Ruban, Ukrainian dissident movement, Soviet regime, KGB.
