Formulation of the problem. The purpose of writing this article was the need to commemorate the memory of Valentyn Yakovych Moroz, a Volyn man, a political prisoner, an active participant in the dissident movement on the first anniversary of his death. He was the author of more than 100 works, a doctor of humanities at Jersey State College, a member of the «Slovo» association of Ukrainian Writers, and an honorary citizen of Volyn since 2017. He has dedicated his entire life fighting against totalitarianism. He died on April 16, 2019 in Lviv. He was buried in Lychakiv cemetery. The methodological basis of this research is a set of general scientific, interdisciplinary, historical and source methods, in particular: historicism, objectivity, historical-comparative, alternative, analysis and synthesis, etc. Their use allows us to recreate the process of forming the political views of V. Moroz, the reasons for the transformation of his consciousness in the direction of dissent, an uncompromising position on the Soviet totalitarian system against which he devoted his own life. The state of scientific study of the problem. The dissident movement is of great interest to Ukrainian historians. The first investigations were published in the mid-1990s. Among the authors are G. Kasianov, V. Baran, and B. Zakharov, who focused on the participation of the Ukrainian intelligentsia in the resistance movement. In the early 2000s, dissident movement research centers appeared that published their own intelligence, distributed memoirs and self-published literature, and recorded and published interviews with dissidents. In these works, V. Moroz was mentioned as one of the many authors of illegal literature, political prisoner managed to emigrate abroad. Sometimes there is conflicting information about the terms of his sentences. The only monograph dedicated to V. Moroz was personally published in 2018 by O. Poliansky. Due to the small circulation, it is difficult for the general public to get acquainted with it. Therefore, in our opinion, the intelligence proposed by the author is relevant and is designed to honor the memory of the extraordinary personality of who was V. Moroz.

The article focuses on a comprehensive analysis of the historiographical achievements of modern Ukrainian historians on the policy of the leadership of Poland and Romania regarding the interned in the camps of these countries, the Army of the Ukrainian People's Republic. The methodological basis of the study comprises the principles of historicism, objectivity and systematics. General scientific and special research methods were used in solving the set tasks: historiographical analysis and synthesis of knowledge development, generalization, quantitative, historical-comparative, chronological, retrospective, etc. The scientific novelty of the work lies in a comprehensive analysis of the state of study in modern domestic historiography of the policy of the leadership of Poland and Romania during 1921-1924s concernig interned Army of the UPR. Conclusions. The analysis of the historiographical achievements of modern Ukrainian historians proved they have made significant progress in studying the scientific field. Having gained access to previously closed domestic and foreignarchival materials, scholars of independent Ukraine cooperated with foreign historians and rejected unscientific, ideologically biased approaches and conclusions of Soviet historiography regarding the policy of the Polish and Romanian leadership towards the interned army. The shortcomings of Ukrainian foreign historiography on this problem, which consisted of a number of inaccuracies and a weak source base, were eliminated, which led to the distortion of historical realities. Domestic historians have clearly shown that the policy pursued by the governments of Poland and Romania regarding the internment of the UPR Army in the camps of these countries was aimed at ensuring their own national interests. It varied depending on the state of relations with its aggressive northern neighbor – Bolshevik Russia. The orientation of this policy was significantly influenced by the position of the Entente states, the victors of the First World War/ They viewed the UPR Army as a force capable of counteracting the expansionist aspirations of Bolshevik Russia. At the same time, despite significant progress in the study of this topic, especially in the 1990s – early XXI century, in the last twenty years, domestic historians didn’t pay enough attention to its study. A number of aspects of this problem remain unexplored and require further scientific analysis.

The main purpose of the article is to study the position of Jan Zamojski as the sole ambassador of the Belz Voivodeship at the Warsaw Convocation Sejm in 1573. Such work will provide a better understanding of the sejm activities of the nobility of the Belz land in the late 16th century. The methodological basis of the article is the general scientific methods of critical analysis and synthesis. Among the special historical methods can be distinguished historical-comparative and problematic-chronological approaches. Legislative achievements of the pre-convocation sejms of Belz, Kalisz, Krakow, Poznan and Sandomierz voivodeship, resolutions of the Warsaw Convocation Sejm in 1573 and private correspondence of Jan Zamoyski in this period were used as a source base. Comparing the provisions of the instructions of the Belz pre-convocation sejm with the proposals of Wielkopolska and Malopolska ambassadors, as well as analysing Zamoyski’s letters at this time, we came to the conclusion that the views of the Ukrainian voivodeship largely coincided with those of Wielkopolska and Malopolska. In particular, in the instructions adopted in Belz, Wisla and Schröd, we come across mentions of necessity to agree on the time, place of election and form of participation of the nobility in this process, as well as to determine the principles of domestic and foreign policy for the interregnum. In addition, the Belgian ambassador Zamoysky in a letter to the provincial officer of the Ruthenian voivodeship Yakub Herburt put forward the idea of a common Sejm for all Ukrainian lands. In part, such statements can be interpreted as a rhetorical tool that helped Zamoyski achieve the main political goal at the time — to expand the circle of his supporters in different regions of the Commonwealth.

Conclusions: The considered scientific achievement of Ukrainian researchers testifies great interest of researches of the XIX- at the beginning XXI cc. to the problems of participation of Orthodox church fraternities, which existed on the territory of Ukraine, in ethno-confessional and socio-political life of the XVI-XVII cc. Significant influence on the interpretation of scientists in various processes of domestic policy, national and religious life of the Commonwealth carried out the ideological beliefs of individual scholars. For example, such were ideas of muscoviteism, through the prism of which a lot of Galician researchers investigated history. Especially noticeable are the influences of political conditions that have imposed on researches certain historiographical patterns. In particular such approaches should be noted in the works of historians who worked under the pressure of the Soviet totalitarian system.

Subject. The article reviews the way strategic threats to energy security influence the quality of people's life. Objectives. The study unfolds the theory of analyzing strategic threats to energy security by covering the matter of quality of people's life. Methods. To analyze the way strategic threats to energy security spread across cross-sectoral commodity and production chains and influences quality of people's living, I applied the factor analysis and general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. Results. I suggest interpreting strategic threats to energy security as risks of people's quality of life due to a reduction in the volume of energy supply. I identified mechanisms reflecting how the fuel and energy complex and its development influence the quality of people's life. The article sets out the method to assess such quality-of-life risks arising from strategic threats to energy security. Conclusions and Relevance. In the current geopolitical situation, strategic threats to energy security cause long-standing adverse consequences for the quality of people's life. If strategic threats to energy security are further construed as risk of quality of people's life, this will facilitate the preparation and performance of a more effective governmental policy on energy, which will subsequently raise the economic well-being of people.

The research methodology is based on the use of general scientific and specific methods, in particular: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, systematization, generalization. The scientific novelty of the study is that the changes that have taken place in logistics have led to the emergence of new trends and trends that need to be generalized and evaluated in terms of prospects for impact on the industry. The study summarized the conclusion that the coronavirus pandemic created opportunities for some companies and threats for others. As a result of the constraints and challenges that have become inherent in international business and logistics, e-commerce, on-demand delivery, and the concept of “last kilometers” are developing rapidly in the EU and Ukraine. The logistics market has a tendency to consolidate and diversify. At the same time, once the European economy returns to normal, most of the changes that have taken place in logistics will be irreversible. Keywords: logistics, pandemic consequences, trade, supply chain, transport
