Influence of National Policy on the Establishment of Ukrainian Agricultural Research in the 18th–19th Centuries

Olena Holikova

Abstract


The relevance of the state role in ensuring the activities of branch educational and research institutions is conditioned by the current state of development of the Ukrainian agro-industrial complex. The purpose of the study is to investigate the policy of the Russian Empire from the standpoint of the impact of state measures on the beginning of the scientific and organisational foundations of Ukrainian agricultural research. The methodological basis of the study is the principles of historicism, objectivity, consistency of scientific analysis and synthesis. The significance of horticulture in the origin of the Ukrainian industry experimentation has been analysed. The transformation of the worldview of the central Russian government regarding agricultural production from the standpoint of forming the prerequisites for sectoral research is revealed. The main stages of the evolution of government policy on agriculture from purely fiscal to state-based have been established. The study examines the evolution of the functions of the Scientific Committee, which at the time of the foundation of the Ministry of State Property in 1837 was an institution with administrative and advisory powers, and which, under the conditions of the creation of the Ministry of Agriculture and State Property, turned into a complex of research institutions. The significance of specialised scientific and research bureaus of the Scientific Committee in terms of their role in shaping the system of state scientific support for the needs of the agricultural sector has been revealed.
