Ukrainian bibliology: stages of development

Review of monograph by H.I. Kovalchuk “Ukrainian Scientific Institute of Bibliology (1922–1936)

Abstract

The book is devoted to the history of Ukrainian Scientific Institute of Bibliology, which in its time gathered together a group of the representatives of the Ukrainian intellectuals. However, at the beginning of the 1930s, a campaign was started against the scientists accusing them of bourgeois nationalism with a conversion of activities into the “practical direction” of building socialism, and in 1936 the institution was eliminated. And even though the Ukrainian Scientific Institute of Bibliology had existed for only a short time, it has left behind many achievements.
