Professor Oleksiy Stepanovych Shkabara (1886-1959) - a founder of scientific and educational swamp culture and meadow planting in Ukrainian Polissia

In 1961 after his death the first issue of “Scientific works” of the station was published, in which many kind words were said about O. S. Shkabara concerning the contribution to the scientific bases development, the development of hayfields and pastures on floodplain lands of Forest-steppe and Polissya of the UkSSR. O. S. Shkabara was rehabilitated according to Art. 1 of the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of 16.01.1989 “On additional measures to restore justice to victims of repression, which took place during the period the 30-40-ies and the beginning of the 30-ies”. The relevant document was signed by Ovcharenko, a seniour assistant of the military prosecutor of Kyiv military district.

The Conclusions

The life and creative destiny of O. S. Shkabara became a reflection of the epochs break, which inevitably affected the peculiarities of his worldview formation, spiritual and moral values, the realization of a scientific and educational potential for the benefit of the Fatherland. Each of the epochs gave him a chance to realize his creative potential, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, - each of the epochs brought so much disappointment, incredible humiliation and suffering. However, O. S. Shkabara managed to make a significant contribution to the formation and development of the culture of swamps and meadows planting in the Ukrainian Polissya, both in terms of theory and methodology, and in the organization of the scientific and educational support. The theory and methodology became the basis for the final approval of the concept of swamp culture as a science that “...studies the methods and measures of an agricultural use of peatlands...” (Oposhko, 1934, p. 7) and the appearance in the educational training of specialists the special field - plant technicians. In this regard, in the first place there should be noted his scientific and organizational activities during 1923 - 1933 and 1945 - 1959 at Kozarovytsia research and reclamation station and the educational activities during 1923 - 1933 at Kyiv Engineering and Reclamation Institute. Certain periods of his work, namely 1933 - 1945, require further historical explorations. The same item concerns his creative work in the form of articles, brochures, recommendations and etc.
