EVERYDAY LIFE OF KYIV STUDENTS IN THE EARLY 20th CENTURY
In this article, we have studied constituents that comprised everyday life of students of the Kyiv Commercial Institute before the start of the WWI. This topic has not received much attention from scientists, but it is nevertheless important, since it helps to "take a look" without redundant fervour at the real atmosphere of student life and that of the Kyiv populace in early 20th century on the whole, furthermore when it's provided by evidences of contemporaries of that time.
The special attention is devoted to things that were not usual for everyday life such as theft incidents, foreign trips of students (despite bad material situation), red-tape when receiving documents, spreading of untruthful information by students about their peers, etc.
In this paper, we explore such facets of everyday life as how students got married and what they did when they were sick. In particular, the current at that time procedure provided that a permission to get married could be obtained from a university's administration, where a student studied. The thing is that Offices of the Registrar in universities checked personal files of those who requested such a permission for any reasons to refuse them. If students were sick for a long time, they had to provide a sick note from their attending doctor or medical institution where they were being treated. The author also has found an unappealing aspect in every-day life of students namely the fact that sometimes they were cruel toward the staff of a university.
Naturally, studying was a considerable part of every-day life of students. However, this part of every-day life of students having been studied a lot by other scientists, it has not been examined in this paper. We mentioned only several cases of obtaining a second education or transferring of a student from one university to another as well as the enrolment procedure. In respect of the last component we have found out a number of documents that requested protection during enrolment.
Keywords: history of everyday life, urban studies, student community, high school, history of Kyiv, history of Ukraine in the 20th century.
