Although the study of Ukrainian historiography is rather new, it can boast of three distinguished names: Dmytro Doroshenko, Oleksander Ohloblyn, and M. I. Marchenko. To Doroshenko goes credit for the first work on Ukrainian historical writing ever published. His study, the only comprehensive survey, covers the period from the eleventh century to 1920. Doroshenko's book was supplemented and updated to 1956 by another Ukrainian historian, Ohloblyn
1 (Prague, 1923; 220 pp.). An English translation appears in the Annals of the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Scienčes in the U.S. (New York, 1957), Vol. V, No. 4; Vol. VI, No. 1-2 (18-20), pp. 13-306.
2 Ohloblyn's continuation was published with the translation of Doroshenko's work, in the Annals (pp. 307-455). Professor Ohloblyn was prominent in the Ukraine prior to World War II.
3 XIX cm. (Kiev, 1959; 255 pp.). It should be noted that an earlier attempt to produce a Ukranian historiography in the Soviet Ukraine ([Kiev, 1932]) is in fact an analysis of historical sourčes rather than a historiographical inquiry.

25 A signal for the de-Stalinization of Ukrainian historiography was given by Anastas Mikoyan in his speech to the Twentieth Party Congress challenging Ukrainian historians “to write a better history of the emergence and development of the Ukrainian SSR than the Moscow historians who undertook the job but who perhaps would have been better advised to stay away from it” (, February 18, 1956).

28 While the Ukraine was occupied by German troops, semi-popular histories of the Ukraine were published for strictly political purposes, first in Kiev in 1941 and then in Ufa (1942 and 1943). After the war, in 1946, these “histories” came under attack from Moscow and Kiev. On the development of Ukrainian historiography after World War II see Bilinsky, The Second Soviet Republic: The Ukraine after World War II, especially Chapter VII: “Soviet Interpretation of Ukrainian Historiography: Some Problems“; and Jaroslaw Pelenski, “Soviet Ukrainian Historiography After World War II, ” Jahrbuecher fuer Geschichte Osteuropas, XII (1964), No. 3, 375-418.

31 The conditions under which Soviet Ukrainian historians are expected to work are suggested by an announcement placed by I. Krypiakevych, a well-known Ukrainian historian, in , (No. 3, 1959, p. 153): “In No. 6 of Ukrains'kyi istorychnyi zhurnal for 1958 news was made public concerning the election of new Academy members. There, without my knowledge or consent, among my works my Istoriia ukrains'koi kul'tury was also mentioned. I take this opportunity to inform readers of the journal that the book mentioned was published in Lviv in 1937 and was not in conformity with Marxist views, and today I condemn as not true the views expressed there.“
32 It is an established practice in the Soviet Union that each Party congress is followed by a conference of the USSR Academy of Scienčes, at which Party decisions are put into effect. Then at the republic level there are corresponding meetings and decisions. Such hierarchic procedures also affect historical institutes. In the case of the Ukrainian SSR, reports and the tasks imposed on Ukrainian historians by the last two CPSU congresses are revealed in Ukrains'kyi istorychnyi zhurnal, No. 2, 1961, and No. 3, 1962.

64 (Kiev, 1962). Another work dealing with the legal aspect of “sovereignty“ in connection with the question of statehood for the Ukrainian SSR may also be mentioned: (Kiev, 1961). This was published under the general editorship of Academician V. M. KoretsTry, currently Soviet judge on the International Court of Justice in The Hague. There for the first time in Soviet Ukrainian historical and legal literature a systematic discussion of the Ukrainian state and law has been presented together with an analytical review of the role of the Ukrainian SSR in international affairs for 1917-60.
65 From dozens of pamphlets, monographs, and books, the following deserve to be mentioned: Russischer Kolonialismus in der Ukraine: Berichte und Dokumente (Munich, 1962; 446 pp.); and The Black Deeds of the Kremlin: A White Book of Testimonies (2 vols.; Toronto, 1953-55).
66 Besides the histories of the Ukrainian SSR already cited, two major works follow this same pattern: (Kiev, 1959).
