At the beginning of the twentieth century, Kamianets-Podilskyi was one of the cities<br>of Ukraine where national cultural and educational centers were formed, which contributed to the awakening of<br>national consciousness in Ukraine in 1917-1921. The revolution opened up great opportunities for the development<br>of Ukrainian education and culture. In October 1918, the State Ukrainian University was founded in KamianetsPodilskyi, the fi rst national higher educational institution created by the independent Ukrainian state. A year later,<br>the University opened an agricultural faculty, the faculty created departments: crop, agronomic, horticultural<br>and horticultural, livestock. The opening of the faculty was important, at which time the Directorate began land<br>reform, which required specialists with agricultural education. One of the founders of the Faculty of Agriculture<br>at Kamyanets-Podilsky State Ukrainian University was Ivan Andriyovych Oliynyk - a famous agronomist, the fi rst<br>dean of the Faculty of Agronomy of Kamyanets-Podilsky Agricultural Institute. In modern historiography there<br>are no special comprehensive studies of social life and organizational activities of the founders of agricultural<br>education in Podolia.<br>The рurpose is to analyze the fi gure of I. Oliynyk – one of the organizers of agricultural education in<br>Podillya.<br>The methods of investigation: problem-searching, historical-comparative, systems thinking, chronological,<br>analysis and synthesis.<br>Results.

In April 1919, the Faculty of Agriculture was established at Kamyanets-Podilsky<br>State Ukrainian University. There was an urgent need for his professional support, because there were not enough<br>teachers who could teach lectures to students in the Ukrainian language and had the necessary specialty. I.<br>Oliynyk had extensive practical experience in the agricultural sector and the necessary education, so the university<br>management invited to teach. With the advent of Soviet power I.

Oliynyk started working but he didn’t have to teach there for a long time. The punitive<br>authorities began to fabricate the case of the Ukrainian branch of the Labor Peasant Party with its center in<br>Kharkiv. He was arrested by local Chekists for allegedly «counter-revolutionary activities» in agronomy and<br>convicted. And only on September 16, 1960, by the decision of the Judicial Board for Criminal Cases of the<br>Verkhovna Rada of the USSR, the case of I.A. Oliynyk was interrupted due to the lack of evidence of the accusation<br>and he was rehabilitated.<br>Novelty of the results of the research.
