Professor of the department, Oleksandr Cheremisin, took part in the next meeting of the scientific and educational cycle "Evening of History with Honcharivka", organized by the Kherson Regional Universal Scientific Library named after Oles Honchar.During the meeting, the professor spoke about the main provisions of his own monographic study "Urban Self-Government in the South of Ukraine in 1785–1917", which, based on a wide range of archival sources and historiographical works, traced the evolution of municipal institutions in the region.
Particular attention was paid to the legislative principles of the activities of local governments, the formation of city budgets, the development of engineering and communal infrastructure, as well as the participation of municipalities in the development of educational, medical and charitable institutions.A special emphasis was placed on the specifics of the development of the South of Ukraine as a region that had its own socio-economic and cultural dynamics. Based on historical sources, it was demonstrated that southern Ukrainian cities were formed in close connection with the Ukrainian ethno-cultural space, and modernization processes here took place under the influence of entrepreneurial initiative, active international trade and intensive communications with the European world. It was these factors that determined the features of urbanization processes and the formation of local self-government in the region.
