- Abstract
The article focuses on a microhistorical study of official documents belonging to Kyivan Hryhoriy M. Slovachevskyi (1890-1942) that have been preserved in a family archive. Hryhoriy was a socially active individual with a higher education and connections with various social categories, having access to secondary education in theological schools due to his clergy origin and extensive family ties in church circles. He played a role in the formation of local self-government and in the development of Ukrainian economics, financial, and statistical institutions through his studies at the Kyiv Commercial Institute and professional activities. While living and working in the countryside in the early 1920's, Hryhoriy was also involved in the development of education in rural areas. Most of the analyzed documents were produced during the rapid socio-political changes of 1917-1927. This set of personal documents, therefore, serves as a representative source for the study of social history in Ukraine during the liberation struggle of the early 20th century from a microhistorical and anthropological perspective. The analysis of these official documents of an «average» Kyivan in the context of the time period provides a deeper understanding of everyday life in Kyiv and its region during the Ukrainian Revolution and the early years of Soviet rule, humanizing the history of that period. The scrutiny of the language, spelling, dates, seals, signs, issuing institutions, and paper of the documents reveals how political transformations were reflected in personal documents. By examining strategies of survival, resistance, and personal status under various political and ideological formations, and by reflecting the impact of «great events» at the personal level, the study sheds light on the depth of each changing power's penetration into Ukrainian society.
