Abstract
The purpose is to show the essence, nature and forms of the work of rural cultural and educational institutions, to
clarify their role and place in the system of ideological influence on social and public life and cultural and educational processes
in the post-war Ukrainian village based on a comprehensive analysis of their work in the organization of leisure time.
The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that previously unknown source data have been used and introduced
into scientific circulation, the forms of work of rural cultural and educational institutions in the organization of leisure time of
the rural population have been characterized and the ideological conditions of their functioning have been critically understood.
Conclusions. It is found that during the years of post-war reconstruction, an extensive network of cultural and educational
institutions was restored and functioning in the Ukrainian village. The most accessible centers of leisure and the place of public
communication of different strata of the rural population were village clubs, as well as libraries, in which artistic amateur groups operated, films were shown, mass cultural events, as well as campaigning and propaganda and other rural events were held. Despite the dominance of the ideology of totalitarianism and material and financial difficulties, they, relying on the public,
with their work contributed to the preservation of the foundations of Ukrainian folk culture and national traditions, the conditions for the full development of which opened up when Ukraine gained state independence.
