Historian Oleksii Markevych Investigative Case and Repressive Measures Against the Development of the Ukrainian National Movement in Odesa at the Turn of the 19th-20th Centuries

A detailed examination of the life and persecution of historian Oleksii Markevych reveals how repressive measures, such as his prosecution for smuggling prohibited literature, significantly hindered the development of the Ukrainian national movement in Odesa at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. The study leverages archival documents from the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine to illustrate the socio-political climate of the time, contrasting it with the more liberal environment of the Habsburg Empire. Through synchronous and comparative methodologies, the research demonstrates the negative impact on Odesa's socio-political processes following the suppression of the Ukrainian movement in the 1870s. Additionally, the analysis provides valuable insights into Markevych's personal connections with key figures in the Ukrainian movement across different regions, enriching our understanding of his role and the broader movement's dynamics.
