Abstract

The article reviewed a collection of documents prepared by Ukrainian and German researchers of political repression of the Stalin period. The materials of the collection, which include 258 documents submitted for publication by the Ukrainian and German sides, show in chronological order the process of preparing and conducting by the NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR the mass «German operation» – an integral part of the «Great Terror» in the USSR in 1937-1938. The two introductory articles analyzed the historiography of the issue, the historical circumstances of the appearance of the order of the NKVD of the USSR No. 00439 of July 25, 1937, and the peculiarities of its implementation in the context of “national operations». The content of the documents reveals the forms and methods of selecting the «enemies of the people» of German nationality - victims of the operation, technology for conducting mass repressions within it, the composition of the "crimes" of Germans – citizens of the USSR and foreign nationals.
