Abstract
Abstract. The purpose of the article is to analyze the activities of the Ukrainian departments of the All-Russian Society of
Distillers and the distillery departments of the Kharkiv and Kyiv Societies of Agriculture and Agricultural Industry, as well as
their research institutions (laboratories and the Network of Potato Research Fields) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The scientific novelty of the study lies in the actualization of the issue of the activities of agricultural societies for the
needs of the distillery industry on Ukrainian lands in the late 19th and early 20th centuries through a network of research
institutions, which are currently practically not mentioned in the literature.
Conclusions. The fact of the existence of several departments of the All-Russian Society of Distillers in the Ukrainian
territories in the late 19th and early 20th centuries has been established, in particular, the Podolsk, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv
and Volyn Province Distillers’ Society. It has been proven that it was thanks to the initiative of the distillery department of the
Kharkiv Society of Agriculture and Agricultural Industry, established in 1902, that it was possible to organize the establishment
in 1907 of the All-Russian Society of Distillers’ Society with an office in St. Petersburg. In addition to the fact that the tasks of
the distillery departments of agricultural societies primarily included defending the interests of distillers of the respective provinces to improve the conditions for production and marketing of products, they were actively engaged in scientific research for the needs of the industry. Thus, it was found that the merit of the Kharkiv Society of Agriculture and Agricultural Industry was in the establishment at the end of the 19th century of several separate fields (Shebekynsky, Kryasnyansky, Troitsky, Morochansky), and in 1910 — the Network of Experimental Fields for Potato Cultivation. The network was engaged in varietal research of potato culture for the needs of distilling. The laboratories of the Kharkiv and Kyiv Societies of Agriculture and Agricultural Industry carried out analyzes, providing distilleries with high-quality experimental materials.
