Abstract

Volodymyr Biletskyi and Myroslava Kovbuz dedicated the new publication ‘Donetsk regional branch of Shevchenko Scientific Society’ (2023) to the 150th anniversary of Shevchenko Scientific Society in Ukraine. The publication reveals the importance of the source that presents the latest historiography of the Ukrainian science, in particular, the development trends and multifaceted activities of the Donetsk Regional Branch of Shevchenko Scientific Society (1997), as well as the results of fundamental scientific research of its members, dedicated to the interests of the national state in the modern period. It is emphasized that the Donetsk Regional Branch of Shevchenko Scientific Society as a public organization and a legal entity has been playing the role of the South-Eastern center of Shevchenko Scientific Society for almost three decades. The substantive description of the Branch’s achievements was highly appreciated; its powerful potential, stability, steadfastness and resistance to the Russian aggressive influence were testified. The need to qualify the publication as a reference work was determined, and it was noted that it has the distinct features of a scientific auxiliary biobibliographical manual. It was concluded that the information about the activities of the Donetsk regional branch of Shevchenko Scientific Society, which is presented in the source, can be the fundamental fragment in the reconstruction of the general history of the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Ukraine.
