From petersburg Slavic Studies ("proceedings of the Institute of Slavonic Studies of the Academy of Sciences of the USSr ("Труды Института славя- новедения Академии Наук СССР"), Leningrad, 1932, pp. 534 – XXIV)

In this article, the author critically analyzes the “Proceedings of the Institute of Slavonic Studies of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR” of 1932 edited by Academician N. Derzhavin. The author notes that the analyzed collection contains good scientific articles, as well as propaganda articles, which are unacceptable for a purely scientific publication. In particular, the author notes the thesis of the Russian scholar N. Derzhavin on the political nature of science, on the need to consider the past through the prism of class struggle. S. Narizhny pays special attention to the analysis of the works of Ukrainian researchers, first of all V. Peretz and M. Hrushevsky, and also singles out the articles published in Ukrainian in the Russian journal. At the same time, the analysis of Hrushevsky’s article on the chronicle of Samovydets is the most thorough in the article. Thus, this article is of interest for the history of Ukrainian Slavic studies and the intellectual history of Ukrainian emigration in interwar Europe
