Grushevskyi’s scientific activities (1907–1914): highlight of the problem in the works by historians in the early 20th century

Abstract

The article examines the issues of covering the problems of M. Hrushevsky scientific and publicistic activity in 1907-1914 and its impact on the scientific and social and political life of Naddnipryansky region of Ukraine made by the historians of the first third of the XXth century. The historiographic analysis of the prominent scientist’s works enabled to define the scale of his work during the period when he became one of the most outstanding personalities of the Ukrainian Historical science and of the social and political life. The study proved that historiographic aspects of scientific and publicistic activity of M. Hrushevsky at the point of World War I (1907-1914) have been insufficiently examined by the researchers. In the further studies it’s worthwhile to compare the appraisals of Mychailo Serhiyovych’s scientific and publicistic works on the part of his contemporaries and the representatives of the next historiographic periods.
