MS Coll 00696 Collection of the L’viv Oblast Party Archive [textual records] Scope: 1944-1956 Bulk: 1945-1949 Size: 12 boxes, 214 folders (4 meters) Source of Acquisition and Processing: Collection of the L’viv Oblast Party Archive was a part of the Stalin Era Research and Archives Project (SERAP) which was undertaken by the Centre for Russian and East European Studies (now: the Centre for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs) in the 1990s. The material was collected by Jeffrey Burds, now an Associate Professor of History at Northeastern University and the Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Russia and the Soviet Union. This collection consists of photocopies of documents from the former Communist Party of L’viv (now: Department of Public Associations at the State Archive of L’viv Oblast, Viddil hromads’kykh ob’iednan’ Derzhavnoho arkhivu L’vivs’koi oblasti). For years, access to this material was very limited including the structure and contents of the funds. This collection also served as the source materials for Jeffrey Burds’ “The Early Cold War in Soviet West Ukraine, 1944- 1948” in The Carl Beck Papers in Russian and East European Studies (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh, 2001). Language: Russian [primary language], Ukrainian Terms of Access: Available for faculty, students, and researchers engaged in scholarly projects. Location: Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto Processing information: Processed by Nadia Zavorotna in 2017 Scope and content The major part of the collection consists of reports, inquiries, memoranda, records, and meeting transcripts of secretaries of the regional, district, and city party committees of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Most of the documents contain information from the regional party committee on the implementation of decisions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian SSR Council of Ministers, on the report of the L’viv Regional Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, such as activities on strengthening ideological work among the public, and the fight with the Ukrainian nationalist underground movement. Some examples of the documents in the collection include: report reviews and copies of sentences from the Drohobych Military Tribunal; lists of groups of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army in the Drohobych Region; documents on the trial of Mykhailo Stakhur (1932-1951), a member of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army who assassinated the pro-Soviet Ukrainian writer Iaroslav Halan (1902- 1949); information, inquiries, and special reports from the NKGB and NKVD, including on the number of people forcibly displaced by the Nazis to Germany from the occupied territories in 1941-1945; inquiries by the Committee for State Security to the regional party committee on special checks of writers and artists; and inquiries and information on the evacuation of the Polish population from the territory of the Ukrainian SSR to Poland, and resettlement of the Ukrainian population that arrived from Poland. Before the independence of Ukraine, the majority of the documents in the collection were inaccessible to researchers.
