Bulling and persecution of O. Karpenko, caused by his reassessment of the nature of revolutionary events in Eastern Halychyna, is associated with the fundamental problem of rethinking the conceptual problems of the political history of Ukraine in the first quarter of the 20th century, which in those days were discussed at the expanded Academic Council of the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR in Kyiv, where he spoke and was subjected to merciless criticism.
