Description
The author aims to analyze in the context of the evolution of strategy and tactics of the Ukrainian Party of Socialists-Federalists during the Directory of the Ukrainian Peopleʼs Republic the public and journalistic activity of Serhiy Yefremov (1876–1939) as one of the influential socio-political figures, leading publicist and co-editor of the newspaper «Nova Rada», author of «The History of Ukrainian Literature». The position of the UPSF and the participation of its leading figures in the government of the UNR Directory, the attitude of S. Efremov to the new model of power, the Labor Congress, oppression of the Russian press and culture, Jewish pogroms, and the Warsaw Pact of S. Petliura are highlighted. The participation of the figure in the Ukrainian Public Committee is shown. Information on the situation of S. Yefremov during the second reign of the Bolsheviks in Kyiv in 1920 is given. The facts of honouring the publicist by the Directory and the critic on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his literary activity are given. The sources of the study were the journalistic works of S. Yefremov and his contemporaries, materials of the newspaper «Nova Rada» and other periodicals, diaries, memoirs, correspondence, collections of documents, professional studies. Methodological principles were systematic method, historicism, anthropologism, interdisciplinarity. The biographical method was used to reconstruct the life scenario of the protagonist and the social environment of a particular era through a combination of the following «components» in the study: man / event; personality / history; private / public; individual / public. It is concluded that at the end of 1918–1920 S. Yefremov deliberately distanced himself from the leading influence on the partyʼs activities, abandoned the struggle for power, preferring the role of public intellectual and independent observer.
