Cultural Policy of the Bolsheviks and the Ukrainian Cultural Process: 1947, 119 p.

The work analyzes the Bolsheviks’ cultural policy in Ukraine as a political weapon aimed at unifying Ukrainian society with the all-Soviet space through control over the cultural process. The author argues that culture is not a neutral sphere but functions as a strategic instrument of state policy. He gives examples of the Soviet regime’s attempts to erase national cultural forms in order to spread a single socialist culture. The hidden political goals of each Bolshevik cultural stage in Ukraine and the ways in which these goals were implemented are demonstrated. In the conclusion, the Ukrainian cultural process is presented as a necessary struggle for survival under ideological pressure, one that must not only coexist with the all-Soviet cultural policy but also resist it.
