The purpose of the research is to clarify and characterize Matviy Stakhiv’s main directions of scientific publishing, editorial journalistic and teaching activity during the post-war emigration period. The methodology of the research is based on the principles of historicism and scientific objectivity. The principle of historicism allowed us to analyze M. Stakhiv’s period of scientific publishing, editorial journalistic and teaching activity in dynamics, taking into account concrete historical conditions and chronological sequence. The principle of scientific objectivity has been used in the involvement of the whole set of facts and allowed for a holistic, unbiased study of the subject of the research. The scientific novelty is that for the first time the attempt was made to study M. Stakhiv’s scientific publishing, editorial journalistic and teaching activities during the post-war emigration period comprehensively. Owing to the analysis of his works, reports and speeches, it was possible to elucidate his views on the Ukrainian historical science and the Ukrainian statehood issues. The Conclusions. M. Stakhiv developed an active scientific publishing, editorial and teaching activities during the postwar period when he was in exile in Germany and the United States (USA). On the European continent, M. Stakhiv mastered a new specialty – a teacher. A number of Ukrainian educational institutions in Germany invited M. Stakhiv to teach, which allowed him to earn money in order to provide for his family. After moving to the United States, he carried on his scientific publishing and editorial journalistic work, as well as established contacts with the Shevchenko Scientific Society (ShSS) leading members. As head of the American department of the ShSS (1969 – 1973), M. Stakhiv tried to overcome conflicts in the Ukrainian emigrant scientific community. Among the main directions of scientific publishing, editorial journalistic and teaching activity of M. Stakhiv during the post-war emigration period it is necessary to single out three most important ones: 1) work in the ShSS; 2) preparation of scientific research for the “The Encyclopedia of Ukraine” and publication of multivolume publications on the history of Ukraine; 3) teaching work.
Key words: M. Stakhiv, the Ukrainian Free University, the Shevchenko Scientific Society, “The Encyclopedia of Ukraine”, emigration period.
