The Electronic Computers Department updates and modernizes material and technical support

16.01.2023

Despite Russian military aggression and hostilities, the Department of Electronic Computers continues to update and modernize its material and technical support. We received state-of-the-art equipment, the availability of which will allow comprehensive training of specialists who will be able to develop software for embedded systems. With the help of new equipment, students will study embedded systems design technologies – one of the most complex IT areas, which deals with the development of embedded solutions and software for them. At this stage, a Dev Kit is created based on the STM microcontroller, supplemented with sensors, a screen and other components necessary for working on embedded solutions. In the future, it is planned to develop a cloud platform on the basis of which virtual laboratories can be created. With the transition of higher education institutions to distance and mixed learning, the topic of online educational technologies has become especially relevant. It would seem that laboratory work cannot be carried out without physical access to equipment. However, the staff of the Department of Electronic Computers is developing a cloud-based platform that allows students, teachers and researchers to remotely access, work on real or virtual laboratory equipment from anywhere 24/7, provided they have the appropriate device and an Internet connection.

Laboratories of Terror: The Final Act of Stalin’s Great Purge in Soviet Ukraine

28.12.2022

In December 2022, Oxford University Press published the book Laboratories of Terror: The Final Act of Stalin’s Great Purge in Soviet Ukraine.

About the Author: Lynne Viola is University Professor of History at the University of Toronto. Her books include The Unknown Gulag and Stalinist Perpetrators on Trial (OUP, 2017) and The Unknown Gulag: The Lost World of Stalin’s Special Settlements (OUP, 2007). Marc Junge is Senior Researcher of Eastern European History at the University of Erlangen. His publications include Stalin’s Mass Repression and the Cold War Paradigm and Nation-Building by Terror in Soviet Georgia.

Vadym Zolotar’ov, associate professor Department of Information and Network Engineering, is the author of Chapter 4 of the book.

Laboratories of Terror explores the final chapter of Stalin’s Great Terror. On November 1938, the Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of People’s Commissars of the USSR issued a directive halting mass operations in repression. This directive not only served to end the mass operations, but led to the release of large numbers of mainly Communist purge victims whose cases remained incomplete. At the same time, it resulted in a “purge of the purgers,” resulting in the scapegoating and arrests of hundreds of NKVD operatives who had carried out the Great Terror at regional and local levels. This episode in the Great Terror remained hidden from view for decades due to the largely closed archives of the Soviet security police. The opening of the Ukrainian security police archives in the 2010s allowed historians for the first time to begin to excavate this chapter in the history of the Great Terror. This collection of essays illuminates the world of the NKVD perpetrator and the mechanics and logistics of the terror at the local level through an examination of the criminal files of a series of mid-level NKVD operatives arrested at the end of the Great Terror in Soviet Ukraine. It reveals the complex relations between center and periphery, illustrating both Stalin’s central role in the architecture of the terror and NKVD perpetrators’ agency in implementing it.

In Chapter 4, Vadym Zolotar’ov details the career of D. A. Pertsov who, like many of the UNKVD leaders in Ukraine at this time, was a client of Uspenskii. Pertsov was an expert in interrogating detained NKVD operatives both in NKVD Ukraine and in the Kharkov Oblast UNKVD. He led by example, frequently walking in on interrogations to threaten and torture those who hesitated to confess. He also worked in the Polish operations. He was arrested in November 1938. He was sentenced to fifteen years and died in a logging camp in 1948, having been charged anew with counterrevolutionary crimes, an unusual sentence during this NKVD purge, following an earlier more lenient sentence of four years for “violations of socialist legality.” The chapter, like many others, demonstrates the importance of personal connections among different groups of NKVD workers.

NURE supports internally displaced persons

26.12.2022

The internally displaced persons living in the university dormitories received another batch of humanitarian aid: warm clothes and sweets.
Due to the deterioration of weather conditions and the approach of frost, power generating companies of Ukraine warn of possible power outages due to the increased load on the country’s energy system.
In cooperation with local authorities and civil-military cooperation bodies of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, KHNURE organised the delivery of warm clothes, blankets and hygiene products. The children also received New Year’s gifts: educational toys and sweet presents.
“Children are our future. They deserve to have a happy childhood and our efforts are a common goal,” said Oksana Anodina, a representative of civil-military cooperation of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who initiated the event.

We would like to remind you that our university was among the first in Kharkiv to respond to the request of the local authorities to accommodate temporary migrants who lost their homes due to the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The university has provided basic needs, and thanks to cooperation with international organisations, we are providing comprehensive support to the victims of the war. The readiness of NURE to take these steps underlines the importance of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which are now the benchmarks for building a sustainable civilised society.
