Conditions of research work of teachers of Departments of History of Pedagogical Institutes of Ukraine in the first postwar years (the second half of the 1940s - the beginning of the 1950s. xx century)
On the basis of archival sources material, financial and household factors are characterized. They formed the conditions for the research work of teachers of the departments of history of pedagogical institutes of Ukraine. The state of providing the scientific literature of historical offices and libraries is revealed. It was found that the proper conditions for work in the history rooms and libraries of pedagogical institutes were created only at the Kyiv Pedagogical Institute. In provincial pedagogical institutes, the situation with the scientific literature seemed much worse. To overcome the problems with the scientific literature, the state began to allocate some funds for the purchase of domestic and foreign publications. The level of funding for scientific activities has been clarified. It is established that the focus of attention of the Directorate of the Pedagogical Institutes of Ukraine was primarily the educational process and work on the restoration of the destroyed material base. Funds for business trips were not enough. Funds were not enough even to secure approved research plans. The reasons which influenced the budget of time of scientific work of teachers-historians were determined. The major impediments to the scientific work of the teachers of the departments of the history of pedagogical institutes were their heavy workload of teaching and community work. Typographic possibilities for printing the results of scientific work are investigated. Most pedagogical institutes were found to lack their own printing facilities. Delay with the printing of monographs, articles, abstracts meant the transfer of dissertations to a later date. The pathetic material status of teachers of pedagogical institutes also had a negative impact on scientific activity. There were no laboratories for the study of history, archeology, and ethnography in pedagogical institutes. This reduced the level of research and prevented the strengthening of the material base. The departments of history of pedagogical institutes and self-calculated researches were not conducted. The conducted research helps to form an understanding of the conditions of development of historical science in pedagogical institutes.
