  • First Online:
Archaeology of the Communist Era

Abstract

The chapter focuses on the 50 years of archaeology in Ukraine during the communist era. I examine the role of the Communist-run governemnts and the status of archaeology in the country by discussing four specific contexts: place of archaeology with the social (historical) sciences, archaeological training at universities, themes of archaeological research, and the use of archaeological data to fit ideological demands regarding history of the region.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Editor’s note: Also known as the Soviet Ukraine ; both terms are used interchangeably.

  2. 2.

    Editor’s note: Understood as a narrow-minded insistence on the traditional doctrine; in this case alleged persistence to follow the bourgeois and not revolutionary view on history and the past in general.

  3. 3.

    Editor’s note: Moved to the People’s Republic of Poland; see Chap. 4 by Jerzy Gąssowski in this volume.

  4. 4.

    Editor’s note: Before WWII Lviv administratively belonged to the Second Polish Republic (1918–1945).

  5. 5.

    Editor’s note: Habilitated Ph.Ds.

  6. 6.

    Editor’s note: As the archaeological data confirm, Kyiv emerged as a fortified place during the eighth–ninth century CE and became part of a long-distance trade system along the Dnieper. During the ninth–tenth centuries CE the town was the nucleus of a political structure called “Kievan Rus.” Thus, in 1982 Kyiv’s history as a significant local political and economic place was approximately one thousand, or less, years old.
