Rewolucyjne zmiany świadomości chłopstwa ukraińskiego w okresie reżimu bolszewickiego w latach 20-tych i 30-tych XX wieku (według paradygmatu J. Scotta)
Revolutionary changes in the mentality of Ukrainian peasants under the Bolshevik regime in 1920s and 1930s (based on a paradigm of J. Scott)

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the political factor of Stalin’s totalitarian regime formed in theindustrial society as a means of destruction of the traditional self-consciousnessof Ukrainian peasants in the 1920–30s. Basing on recent works of Ukrainianexperts on rural studies, Andrew Wilson, and first and foremost the US scholarJames C. Scott, the author follows four aspects of the political influence that causeda comparatively significant change of the rural inhabitants’ self-consciousness. According to the paradigm of J. Scott, the experience of implementing high modernism appeared unnatural for Ukraine’s rural areas, in particular because it ignoredsuch an important aspect as the religiousity of people, which was able to evolve andwas not bound to disappear.
