    Disenfranchised Jews in Ukrainian SSR in 1920s – early 1930s: Unknown Pages
    (2023) Перга, Т.; Perga, Tetiana Yu.
    The purpose of the article is to demonstrate promising areas of research on disenfranchised Jews in the Ukrainian SSR in the 1920s and early 1930s based of archival materials analyzed by the author before the full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine. The author explores the relationship of ethnicity and the employment structure of the Jewish population in Ukrainian SSR with the disenfranchisement, reveals the main actors - declassed Jews, the reasons for their disenfranchisement, mistakes and abuses of the authorities in disenfranchisement, the impact of disenfranchisement on economic and social life, strategies of Jewish resistance to the situation in which they find themselves. The research methodology is based on the analysis of primary sources - archival documents of the archives of Ukraine (TsDAVO of Ukraine and the State Archives of the city of Kyiv), which have never been introduced into scientific circulation. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the lack of thorough studies of Jewish disenfranchised Ukrainian SSR, since the main attention of scientists is focused on the study of the RSFSR. The author demonstrates his vision regarding the connection of ethnicity, territory and employment of the Jewish population with the number of disenfranchised persons as well as on the methodology of their calculation. The article highlights factors that could contribute to the significant size of this group - the traditional employment of Jews in trade and handicrafts in the Pale of Settlement during the Russian Empire, the continuation of this tradition during the NEP, denunciations, settlement of accounts with Jews by local activists and the poor, anti-Semitism. The article describes a campaign to resettle disenfranchised residents of Kyiv from the housing stock, as a result of which many Jews were evicted from their apartments, as well as various cases of arbitrariness of local authorities. The author shows the attempts of the Jews to fight for the restoration of voting rights, as well as the results of this process.

    Waste Recycling in the Early Soviet Union Period: the Success Story of Ukrutilzbir JSC
    (Вінниця : ВДПУ, 2022) Perga, Tetiana Yu.
    Purpose of the article. A significant number of studies have been devoted to waste disposal in the USSR during the Cold War period when waste transformed into a valuable resource for the demanded products in the postwar USSR. The article examines the earlier period of these activities – the 1920s. Using the example of the Ukrainian USSR, it argues that waste collection and reuse programs have already started in the early Soviet Union. The article demonstrates the activities of the non-state company Ukrutilzbir JSC, which was one of the largest waste procurers on the Republican waste market. The methodological basis. The research is based on the analysis of archival materials that have never been introduced into scientific circulation. Relevance. At the moment, this topic has not been studied at all. Conclusions. The article reveals the success story of this actor, the peculiarity of its activity, balancing dependence and independence from the State, competition with state companies. The article suggests that several factors contributed to the success of the company: the presence of a large quantity of waste in Ukraine, the demand of state enterprises in additional row materials, fairly efficient management, and use of an administrative resource in the form of a monopoly right to collect waste that, however, did not protect the company from problems. The author determined problems encountered by waste pickers due to the poverty of the population, which could not «produce» needed by Soviet enterprises the quantity of waste. The author identified methods of motivating the population to hand over waste. The main actors of the waste market in Ukraine, sources of purchase and sale of waste have been identified. They are the following: enterprises of state industry, state trade, cooperatives, private persons, procurers of waste. The author also had analyzed the attempts of state authorities to regulate the relationship between the main waste producers in Ukraine, that were both partners and competitors.
