PERIODIZATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATIONAL WORK ON CIVIL DEFENSE OF THE POPULATION (60-90S OF THE XXTH CENTURY)

Abstract

The article presents the author’s periodization of the development of educational work on civil defense in the 60-90s of the twentieth century. It is emphasized that the development of authorial periodization in historical and pedagogical research is a tool for the characterization of each period (stage), as it helps identify integral common and distinctive features of each period (stage).
Analysis of the source base, including normative, archival and narrative documents allowed determining the chronological boundaries of the study period based on the state-building criterion of adoption of legal documents that radically changed the situation in the field of civil defense (civil protection). The lower chronological limit - 1961 - is due to the adoption of the Regulations on Civil Defense of the USSR (July 13, 1961), approved by the Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet and the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 639-275 as a result of the USSR Government’s decision on the transfer of staffs and troops of local air defense to the Ministry of Defense of the USSR (January, 1960), the adoption of which was caused by changes in the military doctrines of the world’s leading countries. The upper chronological limit – 1993 – is due to the adoption of the Law of Ukraine on Civil Defense of Ukraine as a result of the Decision of the USSR State Council (November 14, 1991) on the transfer of military command and civil defense troops to the newly created states union republics of independent countries.
Within the specified chronological boundaries – 1961–1993 – we conditionally distinguish the following stages: I – the formation of a national civil defense system (1961–1976); ІІ – defense character of educational measures on civil defense (1976–1987); III – reorientation of the content of educational work on civil defense towards man-made and natural disasters (1987–1993).
