Interrogations protocols of Ivan Dzyuba and personal case of Ivan Chendey as sources of studying their civil position during the sixties

Abstract: In the article, based on the materials of the criminal investigation case №55 the critic and the literary critic I. Dziuba (vols. 1-18, April 12, 1972 - January 18, 1973, branch archive of the SSU), initiated in connection with the writing of the work “Internationalism or Russification?» and its distribution in Ukraine and abroad, as well as the personal file 18257 of the writer I. Chendey (vols. 1-2, October 31, 1967 - December 23, 1969, the State Archives of the Transcarpathian region) on the distortion of Soviet reality in the novels “Birds Leave Their Nests” and the collection “March Snow”, are revealed little-known pages of the defendants’ biographies, in particular the involvement of the Transcarpathian prose writer in the transfer of the mentioned work abroad in 1966. The testimonies of witnesses in the case of I. Dziuba, commissioned reviews of the work of I. Chendey, the minutes of Party open and closed meetings and other materials show an objective and non-false collective portrait of Ukrainian intelligentsia of the twentieth century. These documents make it possible to see the points of contact between the intellectual orbits of I. Dziuba and I. Chendey, which were united not only by the same name and patronymic, but, before of all, the awareness of their mission in life, which, despite all the obstacles, they worthily carried on their shoulders: language issues, the role of criticism in the development of Ukrainian literature, the preservation of cultural monuments, the wealth of folk art, etc. The article reveals only a few important episodes of the biographical worlds of two prominent cultural figures, in particular the history ofthe spread of the “explosive”; work of I. Dziuba “Internationalism or Russification?” in Ukraine and abroad and participation in this process of I. Chendey. Memoirs, epistolary of participants and witnesses of this event, in particular G. Avrahov, Y. Bachi, Mykhailyna Kotsyubynska, M. Mushynka, E. Sverstyuk, oral stories of I. Chendey’s daughter Maria Treshchak and his sisters Anna Magula and Olga Danko and others are involved in order to objectively cover the events during the reconstruction of the “anti-Soviet and nationalist” activities of I. Dziuba and I. Chendey.

Keywords: sixties, I.M. Dziuba’s work “Internationalism or Russification?”, persecution of Ukrainian writers in the USSR, protocols of I. M. Dziuba’s interrogations in the KGB, personal file of the writer I. M. Chendey, samizdat.
