Regional History Studies in the Research Visions of Professor Petro Trygub
Abstract
The purpose of the research paper is outlined by the historical regional history studies of the renowned Ukrainian historian and regional history scholar, Petro Mykytovych Trygub, highlighting the primary areas of regional history studies and issues that have become part of the scholar’s scientific legacy.
The scientific novelty of the work is in the analysis of Petro Trygub’s historiographical legacy, in the genesis of the scholarly and organizational historical and local history work of the Professor and Educator, in determining the main stages and periodization of his local history activity, in outlining the regional issues and scientific methods that the scholar applied to implement the creative ideas to which he devoted his scientific and research life.
Conclusions. The key role in the formation of P.M. Trygub’s views on the objective world and the individual within it has been played by a ‘small homeland’, the place where the researcher was born – the rural settlement of Kolomak in Sloboda Ukraine (Slobozhanshchyna). The regional history studies component of the historian’s scientific legacy comprises two monographs and over 50 research papers, scientific reports, and abstracts of reports. The majority of them are devoted to the historical regions of Slobozhanshchyna and the South of Ukraine.
The periodization of local research studies historiography of P.M. Trygub can be outlined by two periods. The first period spans from the first half of the 1970s to the end of the 1980s, characterized by the coverage of the Soviet state formation system in various regions of Ukraine, including the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Vinnytsia, and Poltava regions, among others. Since 1987, the focus of the local history research of the scholar P. Trygub has undergone a series of changes, yet it has not strayed beyond the scope of such aspects as: local history literature on the history of the Mykolaiv region, the role of museums in educating youth, public activity for the preservation of historical and cultural sites in the South of Ukraine.
The second period, which is considerably more extensive in terms of time (1991-2016), should be considered in the context of two stages: the first (1991-2004), caused by the proclamation of the state independence of Ukraine, which prompts the historian to turn to agrarian regional history studies, and the history of the village in the South of Ukraine; the second (2005-2016), when the symbol of the eventful past, recorded with strong emotions through childhood memories of the homeland, of the rural settlement of Kolomak, to the history of which historian P.M. Trygub returns in research papers and monographs.
