Дмитро Чижевський і Семен Семковський у матеріалах слідчої справи від 16 грудня 1920 року

Abstract

In 1920, Dmytro Chyzhevsky and Semen Semkovsky were defendants in a criminal case opened as part of the Bolshevik struggle against the Menshevik opposition. The author describes for the first time a number of documents this case and compares it with the materials of some modern studies. Since Chyzhevskyi and Semkovskyi later became leaders of “emigrant” and “mainland” Ukrainian philosophy respectively, the author proves that the empirical material he describes cannot be ignored in a theoretical understanding of what Ukrainian philosophy was in the 1920s and 1930s.
