The history of archaeological research on the Trypillian sites in the western regions of Ukraine can be subdivided into four stages, each of which is marked by certain achievements. The first explorations resulted in the discovery of new archaeological objects, which gave rise to the discussion about the interpretation of constructions and functions of the settlements. The questions related to chronology, periodization, and excavation methodology were discussed as well. However, this activity was irregular and spontaneous, and the materials of many sites were scattered over different museums of Europe. The later stages of research gave very important data about the material and sacral components of the Trypillian culture, as well as its development, ways of adaptation to natural conditions, relative chronology of the sites, and their distribution. In the last years, the systematic excavations conducted at the reference site of Bodaki shed an important light on the economic basics of Trypillia. They also gave new materials for reconstructing the connections between the north-western and central areas of the culture, and its connections with the coeval farming-herding cultures of Europe.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the causes, nature and consequences of the Ukrainian-Polish-Jewish conflict-confrontational interaction in the Lviv, Stanislav and Ternopil Voivodeships in the autumn of 1939 under the conditions of planting the Stalinist totalitarian regime. It also characterizes the degree and nature of mutual aggressiveness among the part of the active national-political and socially oriented Ukrainian and Polish population of Western Ukraine in the context of the expansion of German aggression against the Second Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It indicates the ideological and propaganda principles for the preparation of the Red Army’s entry into Lviv, Stanislav and Ternopil Voivodeships of Poland on September 17, 1939. The main models of the attitude to the Soviet authorities of the various national communities of Eastern Galicia in the autumn of 1939 are described. Furthermore, the size of the armed struggle between Ukrainians and Poles in the conditions of the collapse of the Polish state and the preparation of the Red Army’s entry into Western Ukraine are shown, as well as the specific propaganda-manipulative instruments of the influence of Stalin’s totalitarian regime on the population of the Western Ukrainian region in the process of its inclusion in the USSR. The paper also indicates the consequences of destructive information-psychological diktat on the public consciousness and historical memory of the Ukrainian, Polish and Jewish population of the former Lviv, Stanislav and Ternopil Voivodeships of pre-war Poland.

The article presents a comparative analysis of the dynamics and progress of resettlement of the Polish population of the Western Ukraine and Western Belarus to Poland in 1944–1946. It also considers the repressive actions of the Soviet punitive organs regarding Poles in order to accelerate the resettlement action. The author establishes that despite the fact that the mentioned action was initiated in Moscow at the highest political level, in western regions of Ukraine and Belarus it proceeded in different ways and had its own distinctive features in each one.

In the 1950s, a settlement of the Funnel Beaker culture (FBC) was discovered on the Lysivka Hill in Vynnyky (Fig. 1), located in the centre of the West Ukrainian territory of this culture (Hawinskyj, Rybicka 2021). Currently, it belongs to a small group of FBC sites in Western Ukraine that have been excavated. The information presented by M. Peleshschyshyn, who conducted excavations in Vynnyky-Lysivka, regarding the relationship between the FBC community and the Tripolye culture (TC) was particularly interesting (see Rybicka 2017). He believed that Vynnyky recorded the coexistence of their population (Peleshschyshyn 1998a, 191). The burnt daub clusters discovered at that time could probably have been the remains of dwellings. The aim of the research carried out since 2016 was to verify the hypotheses of M. Peleshschyshyn (1998a) in the context of the FBC-TC relationship (Hawinskyj, Rybicka 2021) and to establish the date of the settlement usage in Vynnyky-Lysivka. Radiocarbon dating obtained for the samples from the features from the northern zone of the settlement, allow the researchers to be placed Vynnyky-Lysivka in the period 3500–3360 BC and synchronized with the third phase of the southeastern FBC group.

The presented scientific, theoretical and practical aspects of the topic are considered an important prerequisite for understanding the causes and results of the mass use of the deportation repressive tool in the intensive consolidation of Stalin’s totalitarian regime in “class hostile environment” and the consequences of such a policy for the western region development, particularly at modern stage, including the Ukrainian political nation-building and the independent Ukrainian state, which is now experiencing challenges and threats that are rooted in the totalitarian past. Stalinism, as a particular political regime, was established in the western regions of Ukraine at the final stages of World War II and can be defined as a kind of left extremist totalitarianism. The main components of the efficiency of the Stalinist totalitarian regime based on the mass use of political violence and terror through the branched structure of repressive secret police. Functions of the NKVS, NKVD, prosecutors, and courts followed the strategic objectives of Stalin’s totalitarian regime in a hostile social and national environment in Western Ukraine in the complex military and political conditions of the final phase of World War II. Effective and timely implementation of policy priorities of Stalinism in the region allowed to create an appropriate institutional and procedural system, which was based on the large-scale use of political violence and employed such characteristic tools as terror, repression, deportation.

The traditional character of Hutsul villages and their spatial development has been changing slowly but inevitably over the course of time. Historically, single farmsteads were built separately and were mostly self-sufficient, the distance between them being considerable. Nowadays, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the economic transformation brought along many changes, among these the fact that depopulation is taking place and alterations in spatial development are occurring again. The localisation of secluded farmsteads, situated far away from each other is no longer as important as it used to be. Reasons for the abandonment of farmsteads were examined, and factors such as altitude, distance from the village centre and the administration affiliation were taken into account. Land use changes were analysed in relation to the slope inclination. Some of the most important factors influencing the intensity and direction of these processes are high prices of land, improvement in living conditions, better access to services and the general ‘westernisation’ of lifestyles. The depopulation rate has been seen to increase in correlation with the rising altitude and distance from the village centre. On the other hand, there was no unambiguous link between the abandonment of farmsteads and administration affiliation. Mowed areas were localised on the slopes with the smallest inclination. Animal breeding has become unprofitable due to a lack in demand and low product prices, which has led to an increasing number of meadows and pastures lying fallow.

The paper raises the question of the reconstruction of the social structure of the Western-Podolian group of the Early Scythian culture (ESC ), based on materials from burials. As a result of the analysis of the most important elements of funeral rites of the population of this group, as well as based on ancient writers (The Histories by Herodotus), it was established that the size and the complexity of construction of a burial and a mound covering the burial, as well as the diversification of quantity and quality of grave goods, seem to be of the most value for this issue. The classification of 100 burial complexes carried out on the basis of these features, with the use of statistical inference methods (cluster and correspondence analyses), has led to the differentiation of six classes of graves, which can be combined with different social classes. The higher (military leaders and chieftains) and the lower aristocracy, the ordinary population with the distinguishing class of warriors and the poorest population are numbered to these classes. Apart from these classes, connected with the free, fully-fledged population, a group of the partly dependent population with limited rights has been also differentiated.

The analysis of new archival records from the “KGB archives” in Ukraine, made it possible to further study the deportation policy of the USSR in occupied Western Ukraine in 1940–1952. Along with campaigns and operations, there is a need to single out such a method of persecution by the Soviet special services as day-to-day deportations. It can be verified that there were three such deportation campaigns carried out in Western Ukraine. The first and third campaigns were carried out to clear the territory from “hostile elements” of the Polish population and the local elites of the Second Polish Republic, as well as the class enemies of the communist regime – the kulaks (well-to-do farmers). The second campaign was launched in response to the activity of the OUN resistance. During 1941 and 1944–1952, two deportation operations were carried out (22 May 1941, and Operation “Zapad” (“West”), 21–23 October 1947), and two campaigns of deportation in the format of the day-to-day activity of the Soviet special services (1944–1946 and 1948–1952). During the deportation campaign against the OUN family members, 66,448 families (or 205,938 persons) were exiled from Western Ukraine. The main purpose of the forced expulsion was the complete elimination of the Ukrainian anti-Soviet insurgency.

The article presents Soviet religious and ecclesiastical policy in the first period of the Second World War on Polish territories occupied by the Soviet Union. The article also shows aspects concerning functioning of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church which structures were on the territory subjected to the Soviet Union. The article underlines contradictions in political activities used by the Soviet authorities against protestant believers living on the territories of Western Ukraine and Belarus. The facts presented in the article abolish the concept of „liberal” religious policy led both by administration of the Communist party of the Soviet Union and the authorities of the country in 1939–1941. Active actions taken by Moscow Patriarchate which aimed to subordinate protestant believers coming from parishes submitted to the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church on territories of Western Ukraine and Belarus have also been analyzed. It has been noticed that the secret service led Moscow Patriarchate to act to liquidate autocephaly of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church on the occupied territories. The NKVD was responsible for subordinating the parishes of the Church to Moscow Patriarchate. Representatives of structures of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church were forced to cooperate with Moscow Patriarchate. It is worth noticing that the actions taken against the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church by the authorities of the Soviet Union were also used during the process of annexation of the Baltic countries and during Soviet – German war.

В статье раскрывается содержание советской религиозно‑церковной политики в первый период Второй мировой войны на оккупированных польских землях. Показаны условия жизнедеятельности части Польской автокефальной православной церкви (ПАПЦ), которая оказалась на советской территории. Акцентировано внимание на противоречиях в отношениях советского атеистического режима к православным в Западной Украине и Белоруссии. Изложены факты, которые опровергают концепцию «либерализации» религиозной политики советского партийно‑государственного руководства в 1939–1941 гг. Анализируется активность Московского патриархата, направленную на переподчинение православных приходов ПАПЦ в Западной Украине и Белоруссии под юрисдикцию РПЦ. В статье доказывается, что инициатором деятельности Московского патриархата по ликвидации автокефалии Польской православной церкви на оккупированных землях были советские спецслужбы. Показано, что мероприятия по переподчинению православных приходов бывшей Польской православной церкви Московскому патриархату осуществлялись под контролем и опекою органов НКВД. Обосновывается вывод о том, что наличие в Западной Украине и Белоруссии полноценной, функциональной, численной и автокефальной православной конфессии вынудило советский режим к взаимодействию с Московским патриархатом. Доказывается, что вновьприобретенный опыт был потом использован партийно‑государственным руководством СССР в Прибалтике и в годы немецко‑советской войны.

The article presents an outline of the history of the Roman Catholic Church in Lviv in 1953-1959. It discusses the history of individual parishes in that city, as well as all attempts at influencing and exposing those religious communities made by the Soviet authorities, for religious activity was especially interesting to Soviet notables. The text also presents the Church’s situation in the light of Soviet legislation. At the time, the term “Catholic” in former Eastern regions of the Polish Republic almost always referred to a person of Polish nationality. Thus, the article can be considered as a presentation of the life of Poles who remained in Lviv until the “second repatriation”. It was the last moment when that community was relatively numerous. As a large proportion of the believers left in the second half of the 1950s, the Polish element became considerably weaker. It obviously led to a change in the Roman Catholic Church’s situation. Nevertheless, a slow suppression of religious activity began much earlier. It grew stronger during the period delimited in the text. The sources on which the article is based include the documents of Soviet provenance (mostly secret internal documents of the local Religious Cult Plenipotentiary). A large portion of them appear in a scholarly publication for the first time.

Poland as the direct neighbour of Ukraine has a great impact on the development of its Western regions especially when it concerns the Volyn and Lviv regions. These regions are closely linked with Poland not only culturally, but also by trade and economic ties. The purpose of the article is to analyse the impact of Poland on economic potential development of Ukraine’s Western regions before and after the signing of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement in terms of trade relations, investment, and participation in joint cross-border projects. The results of the research show that Poland’s share in exports of Lviv, Volyn and Ternopil regions as well as the share of Polish investments in their economy increases yearly. As the major partner in the cross-border cooperation Poland transmits its experience to Ukraine that in turn strengthens the competitiveness of small and medium enterprises and stimulates the development of trade relations between Ukraine and Poland. This article is of the research nature.c

Polska jako bezpośredni sąsiad Ukrainy ma wielki wpływ na rozwój regionu zachodniego Ukrainy, a zwłaszcza obwodów Wołyńskiego i Lwowskiego. Regiony te są ściśle powiązane z Polską nie tylko kulturowo, ale także gospodarczo. Celem rozważań jest analiza wpływu Polski na rozwój potencjału gospodarczego regionu Zachodniej Ukrainy przed i po podpisaniu Układu o Stowarzyszeniu UE-Ukraina w stosunkach handlowych, inwestycji i udziału we wspólnych projektach transgranicznych. Wyniki badań wskazują, że udziały w eksporcie regionów wołyńskiego, lwowskiego oraz tarnopolskiego do Polski, jak i udział polskich inwestycji w gospodarkę wymienionych regionów corocznie się zwiększa. Polska, jako główny partner we współpracy transgranicznej, przekazuje swoje doświadczenia Ukrainie, co z kolei wzmacnia konkurencyjność małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw oraz stymuluje rozwój stosunków handlowych między Ukrainą i Polską. Artykuł ma charakter badawczy.

Польша как непосредственный сосед Украины имеет значительное влияние на развитие ее западных регионов, в частности Волынской и Львовской областей. Две последние тесно связаны с Польшей не только культурными, но и торгово-экономическими связями. Цель статьи – анализ влияния Польши на развитие экономического потенциала областей западного региона Украины до и после подписания Соглашения об ассоциации Украины с ЕС, с точки зрения торговых отношений, инвестиций и участия в совместных трансграничных проектах. Результаты исследования показывают, что доля Польши в экспорте Львовской, Волынской и Тернопольской областей с каждым годом растет. Это касается и инвестиций Польши в экономику перечисленных областей. Как основной партнер в трансграничном сотрудничестве Польша передает свой опыт Украине, что в свою очередь способствует улучшению конкурентоспособности малых и средних предприятий, а также стимулирует развитие торговых отношений между Украиной и Польшей. Статья имеет исследовательский характер.
