Короткий опис(реферат):
The article is devoted to the issue of historical and legal research of the Holodomor of
1932–1932 as a factor of elimination of the socio-political component of civil society, which is
relevant in modern Ukrainian society, and which has flared up with renewed vigour and raised
these problems to a new level now during the full-scale invasion of our territory by the Russian
Federation.
The historiography and archaeography of the Holodomor is extensive and has been the
subject of special studies on numerous occasions. However, this problem is hardly exhaustive for
many reasons. Among them are new searches for documents, new methodological approaches,
and new issues.
In this sense, the study of historical and legal subjects is not without meaning, given the
productivity of interdisciplinary, including historical and legal approaches and the practical
absence of studies of civil society in the history of Ukraine, in particular during the period of
the new economic policy. The author sought to develop and use an original methodology for
studying the destruction of civil society institutions during the Holodomor, taking into account
the uniqueness of this phenomenon.

Let us emphasize that the relatively wide use of interdisciplinary methods by researchers in
the study of the Holodomor is objectively determined by a number of factors.
First of all, it is about the logic and regularity of the development of social knowledge, which
is characterised by a tendency to generalise and synthesise the achievements of various social
sciences and certain historical and legal disciplines.
Secondly, the Holodomor-genocide was complex and systemic. According to the plan of the
bolshevik’s leadership, they were supposed to radically change all the main spheres of life of the
Ukrainian peasantry and ultimately turn it into a cog of the communist utopia.
This article is an attempt to conduct a research in accordance with the principles of science
on the basis of interdisciplinarity, which should improve the existing scientific understanding of
the preconditions, implementation and consequences of the Holodomor, as well as to carry out
a legal analysis of the process and individual facts of the repressive destruction of civil society
institutions.
