In modern historiography among the variety of historical studies remain some unexplored aspects including the place of Kyiv Committee of ethnography Local in history of ethnography motion in the first half of the 20 -ies of XX century. Researching the work of civil organizations of ethnography historians only briefly mention the Kyiv committee. Among the ethnography works that have generalizing or fragmented about our problems, it should be noted dissertation research Teodorovich A., M. Parakhin, labor P.Tronka, V. Prokopchuk, G. Verbylenko more.Purpose – to highlight the Kyiv committee of ethnology and establish its role in local history movement of the first half of the 20 -ies of XX century.In the early 1920s, the policy of "Ukrainianization", helped the expansion of local ethnography research which stimulated public interest in local history . The problem of organizing of regional movements and, the formation of its centre occured. In November 1922 under the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kyiv committee of ethnography was established, headed by A. Loboda.In order to expand local history work throughout Ukraine in Kharkov with A. Loboda was formed a separate committee, headed by Professor D. Zelenin.The ethnographic section organized a branch of committee ethnography in Poltava, Lubnah more.At the end of 1923 for the steppe part of Ukraine was established third Central Committee of ethnology in Odessa, headed by S. Dlozhevskyy.After the formation of committees in Poltava, Kharkiv and Odessa, regional committee of ethnography was named as Kyiv one.For close cooperation in the field of ethnology and for solving important organizational issues throughout the country, it was necessary to hold a congress with participation of local history organizations from different regions. The program and their views regarding the conferenre, members of committee sent to Congress Kharkov for approval, emphasizing that Congress should be held in Kyiv, due to the large scale of regional ethnographic, during which lot of valuable material was collected.But I All-Ukrainian Congress for studying the productive forces and the national economy was not in Kyiv, as planned, but was in Kharkiv in December 1924. In the Congress, committees and separate eight sections were working : nature and its resources, human as power production, forestry and handicrafts, agriculture, industry, energetics, science as a productive force.Committee of ethnography headed by M. Ptukha had two directions. The first- general ethnography: the history of ethnography, natural history institutions, the prospects of development in Ukraine. The second concerned the separate branches: ethnography and the school, ethnography and research library, museum, archive and excursion business, agriculture, demographic characteristics of the population and so on.The Congress paid special attention to ethnography as an important national matter. It was decided that it should be in accordance with the time and pass to planned organizing. Also emphasized the need to call the meeting of Ukrainian ethnography congress to identify further ways of Ukrainian ethnography.Kyiv committee of ethnology was the founder and co-ordinating center of public regional movement across the country, so it is logical that it was the main initiator of the first ethnography congress, established links with local organizations, and invited them to the meeting.On 28-31 May 1925 National Conference of ethnology took place in Kharkov, where was repeatedly sounded that regional movement that gained nationwide scale, brought many shortcomings in the work of local history organizations. There were accusations of historians about the diversity of organizational forms, lack of planning and more.With the establishment of the totalitarian regime, the Soviet government did not allow uncontrolled activities of any organization, any public organization in Ukraine . Therefore, the conference decided to establish a Committee of Ukrainian ethnography, and a new stage in the organization historical-ethnographic research in Ukraine is connected with its activity.Thus, in the first half of the 20-ies of XX century in Kyiv was formed a powerful regional ethnography center – Kyiv Committee of ethnology, which took over the coordination of regional research in the country. In the mid of 20's Committee was a major hub combining all the ethnographic structures in Ukraine. It consists of highly qualified working professionals, scientists, who led the sections and attracted public for cooperation.
