Abstract
In the article an attempt is made to protract the monograph of Valerii Rekrut that explores the socio-economic and political processes that took place in the Haisyn region during the Central Rada and the Ukrainian People's Republic (March 1917 – April 1918).
The research is based on the thorough and diverse sources, mostly archive documents presented for the first time. Ukrainian periodicals of this period are also widely used. The first section of the monograph examines the events that took place in the territory of the Haisyn district during the Central Rada, in particular the formation of local authorities, the peculiarities of land reform and food shortages. The second part of the work is devoted to the characterization of the political and socio-economic situation in the Haisyn region during the UPR.
The author focuses heavily on describing the peculiarities of the national-cultural processes that were being activated at this time. This applies, in particular, to the activities of Jewish, Polish and Russian political powers pursuing their political interests. The section also analyzes the educational activity in the Haisyn region in the context of the formation of a national Ukrainian school. The author managed to recreate the events that took place in one of the districts of Podolia governorate on the background of nationwide political processes, and therefore the monograph deserves a highly positive assessment.
