РЕПРЕСІЇ НІМЕЦЬКОГО ОКУПАЦІЙНОГО РЕЖИМУ ПРОТИ ОСЕРЕДКУ ОУН ДОНЕЧЧИНИ (1941 – 1944 РР.)
The article is devoted to the repressive activities of the German punitive bodies against members of the OUN in Donetsk region (Staline region), which continued during the period of the German occupation of Donbas region in 1941 – 1943, as well as in 1944, after the departure of part of the Donetsk OUN members to the western regions. The purpose of the article is to characterize the repressive activities of the German authorities in relation to the OUN in Staline (Donetsk) region in 1941 – 1944. In the research the methodological techniques have been applied, the list of which includes: analysis, deduction, induction, synthesis, analogy, generalization, as well as comparative historical, statistical, chronological and periodization methods, which enabled us to process the available source base and historiography and based on the data obtained, to describe in detail the stages and content of the German repressions against the OUN in Donetsk region, to analyze the course of events in a chronological order, to identify a list of names of repressed underground members, and to conduct final statistical calculations. The scientific novelty of the publication consists in a thorough analysis and systematization of archival document data and a critical assessment of previous research. The results obtained enable us to distinguish three stages of the German political police repressive activities, characterized by the corresponding indicators of the number of arrested members of the nationalist underground in Staline region. The article provides updated statistical information on the number of arrested underground members in 1941 – 1944, which corrects previously published figures, as well as a list of names of currently known repressed OUN members in the region. There have been analyzed the consequences of the repressive measures of the German occupation regime against Ukrainian nationalists in Donetsk region. The prospect of further research on this issue is rather doubtful, given the physical inaccessibility of archival sources in the occupied territories, which confirms the importance of this study and its practical significance in supplementing the all-Ukrainian picture of the activities of the OUN and the reactionary actions of the German authorities towards it. Keywords: Eastern Ukraine, Donbas region, Staline (Donetsk) region, World War II, OUN, German occupation, repressions.
