Статтю присвячено дослідженню джерельної бази українського голодомору на основі якої стало можливим дослідження наукової проблематики голодомору. Головна увага в статті звертається на архівні документи, що були раніше не опубліковані, а також на збірники документів опублікованих на початку 90 рр. Також дається аналіз джерельних досліджень голодомору багатьма українськими науковцями. Актуальність даної статті полягає в тому, що дана наукова проблематика була практично недослідженою в радянські часи оскільки радянська влада будь-якою ціною намагалася приховати навіть сам факт голодомору в Україні. Лише з розпадом СРСР та проголошенням незалежності України вітчизняні науковці отримали повноцінну можливість досліджувати тематику українського голодомору. Необхідно, щоб сучасне українське суспільство добре засвоювало трагічні уроки минулого і робили все можливе, щоб у майбутньому подібного більше не повторювалося.

The Soviet State and party archives from 50 in the 20th century were secret and unavailable to scholars. Especially the classified materials were covering the famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine. The communist regime tried for any price to hide from the world community and from the people of one on the worst of his genocide crime aimed at the destruction of the Ukrainian nation. It is to hide the genocide of Ukrainians by the Soviet authorities after Stalin’s death and for his life all the documents concerned the events of 1932-1933 in Ukraine carefully secret to no one learned the truth about the actual murder of an entire people through hunger. Only after the collapse of the Soviet Union and after the proclamation of independence of Ukraine, Ukrainian scientists were able to study the documentary sources of the famine in the archives which gradually became available to researchers. Today the scientific theme of famine in Ukraine is represented by quite a significant legasy of documentary sources. For 90 years many domestic and diaspora of the researchers were able to widely acquainted with the main sources of scientific problems of famine. This is explained primarily by the fact that the previously classified Soviet Archives in Ukraine have become available for research. A huge number of archival material has been developed over the past 20 years. The theme of famine in Ukraine was engaged in a very significant number of scholars, among them note S.Kylchytskyi and V.Marochko who in their treatises used archival sources. Among foreign researchers this issue studied by R. Konkvest and D.Mays. R. Konkvest in his famous work «The harvest of sorrow» on the basis of many archival sources researched the background and causes of the golodomor of 1932-1933 and gave a description of criminal essence of the Soviet regime. Another scientists Dr. Mays in their articles and publications argued that the famine in Ukraine was genocide directed against the Ukrainian people.
