At the same time Khortytska Sich, Tomakivs'ka and Mykytyns'ka Siches were only forposts. Among Siches only Bazavluc'ka was Ukrainian state organization, Chortomlyc'ka and Pidpil'nens'ka were military borderland units. The author states, that the first Sich emerged on the principles of synergetics and ethnogenesis, that is principles of social self-development. External influence on the process of synergetics and ethnogenesis in emergence of first Sich (Bazavluc'ka) was caused by seven systematic components: 1. Great Borderland with its dangerous conditions of Crimea Tatars raids from the end of XV century (upper system) 2. Eight kosh's of sich-outposts (from 1585) on the islands of Velykyi Lug from every borderland castle, in which Cossacks lived (lower system). 3. Cossacks army with organized structure, formed to 1587–1590 (transitional model of the system for Zaporizhian Sich formation). 4.

Cossacks knight corporative ideology, based upon imperative: «Be whom you must be», and tradition to make decisions not after «majority agreement», but «general agreement». Notably, feeling of higher unity «we» had to oppress every concrete «I», what only could guarantee collective security in dangerous conditions of military trade 7.

The development of mining industry was very important for other branches of industry because they depended on it. At that time branch technical press published laws and orders of the government interested in the development of the mining and metallurgical branches of industry. One of the aspects of the government activity may be called administrative-organizational. The tsarist government paid much attention not only to the development of mining branch of industry but also to the development of the metallurgical one. Thus in the 90-s of the 19 th century the formation of Donetsk-Prydniprovsk region continued. Technical branch journals elucidated and discussed the activity of the tsarist government and mining manufacturers directed to the development of the mining and metallurgical branches of industry. The protective policy of the government, customs policy, investments of foreign capital supported the development and modernization of the national industry. Due to the protective policy of the government, efforts of the mining manufacturers the state of the mining and metallurgical branches of industry improved and Donetsk-Prydniprovsk region became the leading industrial one in the Russian empire.

The article also ascertains scientist's contribution to the development of the particular theoretical, methodological, methodical and problem practical aspects of the Ukrainian history source studies. It is stated that the source studies parts of "The Ukrainian historiography essays" should be considered as the most weighable contribution of the scientist. "The Ukrainian historiography essays" outdid all present synthetic works in Ukrainian source studies and historiography by the conception breadth, the volume and the circumstantiality, and the scientific analytics level in some cases. The author determines the general nature of the D. I. Bagaliy's scientific activities in the area of historiography, source studies and archaeography on the basis of his source studies works and special divided to him literature analysis. It was strongly influenced by the works of K. M. Bestuzhev-Ryumin and V. S. Ikonnikov and similar to them in methodological and methodical aspects. Some researchers name the direction represented by these scientists a "bibliographic" direction, emphasizing that it was aimed to accumulate historic facts and to summarize them. The other naming of the direction is "critical source studies" (modern Ukrainian historian V. V. Kravchenko). Concentration on facts, efforts to avoid synthetic summarizing and conclusions were the typical features not only for D. I. Bagaliy's works, but for main part of present Ukrainian historians positivists, in particular representatives of Kyiv historians documentalists school (D. I. Bagaliy came from this school too). The analysis of historiographic and archaeographic D. I. Bagaliy's work allows to assert that this scientist was a typical representative of steamlined classic positivism in the late XIXth and early XXth centuries historic science.

The activity of the monarchical organizations was a significant part of work of the Imperial Dumas of the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century which found the reflection in the numerous publications devoted both to the Imperial Dumas' activity and June electoral system in general, and to the defined political organizations. The existing number of works allows analyzing the level of researching the monarchical organizations' activity in the Imperial Dumas. The study of the monarchical organizations’ historiography and determination of the basic tendencies in their activity’s research appears to be of vital importance, as far as it allows emphasizing the problems and debating points which demand the special attention, which is one of the methodological tasks of the historiographic researches and the necessary condition for the further profound study of these political organizations. Having examined in the article the status of studying the monarchical political organizations' activity in the Imperial Dumas of the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century, we may conclude that this range of problems was understudied. Despite the presence in the historiography of the numerous works devoted to the June electoral system and the Imperial Dumas' activity, on the one hand, and works which consider the right-wing political organizations' activity at the beginning of the 20th century, particularly in the Imperial Dumas, on the other hand, the mentioned range of problems has the understudied problems and debating points which demand the further profound study. With that, there is the necessity to study the historiography of the Russian monarchical organizations' activity, in particular, in the territory of Ukraine, for the purpose of determining the basic ways of the further researches to create the integral socio-political history of Ukraine at the beginning of the 20th century.

The article deals with the stone processing by the population of the final stage of the late Bronze Age of the Left-bank Ukraine on the materials of boguslavsko-belozerskaya culture (BBC) of the second half of the 13th –10th centuries BC. There are three stages in the development of this culture: the proto-BB stage (the second half of the 13th century BC), the BB1 stage (the 12th –11th centuries BC), the BB2 stage (the 10th century BC). Systematization of the materials shows that different kinds of stone goods which did not require much work input, special instruments and raw materials were being produced by boguslavsko-belozersky tribes in every settlement. However, professional training was necessary for manufacturing many tools when processing quartzite, granite, diorite, diabase and other kinds of hard stone. Morphological uniformity of pestle-sceptres, mortars, cylindrical grinders, smoothing irons presented in the artefacts of BBC and other cultures of the late Bronze Age of the Eastern Europe may be explained by the existence of the specialized manufacturing centers. It is also concerned the processing of silicon. Existence of the specialized silicon processing centers of the final stage of the late Bronze Age on the territory of the Left-bank Ukraine is proved by the materials of the settlements Dibrova, Glubokoie Ozero-2 of the Seversky Donets situated near siliceous cretaceous screes. It gives evidence of the revival of silicon processing at the BB1 stage. Further development of silicon tool manufacturing by the tribes of BBC was at the BB2 stage. It was most significantly revealed in silicon sickle spreading. Probably a short-term revival of the stone industry in the 12th –10th centuries BC on the territory of the Left-bank Ukraine was caused by the inevitable shortage of raw materials during the transition period from bronze metallurgy to iron metallurgy.
