V. T. Okipniuk. State therapy as a element of totalitary governance system in Ukraine in 1929-1953.
The article describes the concept of state terror and its institutional and legal mechanism during the period of the totalitarian regime in Ukraine. In particular, it is determined that under the state terror it is to be understood that the system of punitive, violent measures car¬ried out and provided by the state authorities is illegal, are observed on a mass scale, aimed at physical destruction of persons, deprivation or restriction of their will or other significant violation of their fundamental (fundamental ) of rights and freedoms in order to intimidate the broad masses of the population and achieve total control over society for the maintenance of undemocratic power.
The mechanism of state terror in Ukraine in the period of totalitarianism included a com¬plex of ideological, normative and institutional elements - ideological guides and political decisions of the higher party and state leadership of the USSR and the USSR, material and procedural legal norms regulating the use of state coercion, and the system of organizational structures that provided the application of these guidelines and norms. The ideological sub¬stantiation, legal and organizational components of the mechanism of state terror are ana¬lyzed. It is noted that the political and legal basis of state terror was expressed by J.V. Stalin’s postulate of “the exacerbation of the class struggle” and the changes made through its prism to the criminal, criminal-procedural and administrative legislation.
It is noted that these changes opened the space for mass repression and became the ba¬sis for the illegal activity of punitive bodies, which were an organizational component of the mechanism of state terror. The basis that ensured the internal unity of all punitive bodies in the repression was the party structures.
It has been proved that all the links of the Soviet punitive system were involved in re¬pressive measures. This provided for the scale of repressions, their total character, depriving citizens of the possibilities to protect their rights and freedoms. It is determined that the pe¬culiarities of the Soviet state terror in Ukraine were its wave-like nature, in which the peak of repression changed with periods of relative weakening of state punitive politics.
Key words: state terror, the mechanism of state terror, totalitarian regime, repression.
