Larysa Ivanivna Krushelnytska (5 April 1928 - 12 November 2017) was a Ukrainian archaeologist, librarian, doctor of historical sciences (1991), and professor (1999).
Larysa Krushelnytska is a member of famous Ukrainian family. [1] She was born in Stryi. [2] From 1930, she lived with her relatives in Lviv. In 1934 she moved with her father to Kharkiv, and after the extermination of the Krushelnytskyi family, she returned to her mother in Lviv in 1937. In 1943 Krushelnyska left Lviv, occupied by the Germans, to Vienna, and then to Stuttgart, where she studied at the Academy of Arts. [3] Then she was forced to work at an aluminum plant in the Third Reich.
In 1945 after returning to Lviv, Krushelnytska worked as a restoration artist at the Museum of Ukrainian Art and completed her secondary education through an externship. [3] Since 1947, she was an artist-restorer at the Lviv Department of the Institute of Archaeology, studying by correspondence at the Faculty of History of Lviv State University.
From September 1947, Krushelnytska worked at the Institute of Social Sciences of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR. [2]
In 1974, she defended her candidate's thesis on the topic Tribes of Upper Transnistria and Western Volyn in the Early Iron Age, and in 1991, Krushelnytska defended her doctoral thesis on the topic North-East Transcarpathia in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age.
Krushelnytska is the only female archaeologist in the world who organized and successfully conducted more than 50 archaeological expeditions, which resulted in 206 scientific studies, of which more than 170 were published including 8 monographs. [2] She discovered and explored about 60 monuments of the past, which brought her recognition both in Ukraine and abroad.
Krushelnytska's scientific interests cover a wide range of problems in the archaeology of the Bronze and Early Iron Ages of Central and Eastern Europe. [2] Large-scale research on the monuments of this period, conducted for the first time on the territory of the North-Eastern Carpathian region and Western Volyn, enriched archaeological science. For the first time, Krushelnytska conducted excavations in the mountainous regions of the Carpathians, where she identified a number of centers for salt production, the scale of which had great economic importance in ancient times. [4]
A significant contribution of Krushelnytska is her substantiation of the phenomenon of the development of the Carpathian and Volyn lands as a contact zone and peripheral territory in relation to the ethno-cultural massifs of Eastern and Central Europe. [4] Krushelnytska's research on the territory of Middle Transnistria and her selection of the Neporotivka group of monuments, which represents the western outskirts of Chernoles culture, are of high scientific importance. [4]
In October 1991, Larisa Krushelnytska headed the Lviv National Science Library named after Vasyl Stefanyk. [2] As a head, she managed to save the workplaces of the personnel in a difficult time of financial troubles, lack of funds to purchase new literature. Since that time, the volume of library funds has increased by half a million, which now amounts to about 7 million preservation units, and for the first time, repair and restoration work was partially carried out in 4 buildings. Under her leadership the library's scientists continued the work on topics related to the creation of national bibliography, the study of the problems of librarianship, bibliography, and the history of periodicals. [2] Scientific and bibliographic research and disclosure of rare funds and collections were ongoing.
Larysa Ivanivna Krushelnytska died in 2017 and is buried in the family tomb of the Krushelnytskys on field No. 23 of the Lychakiv cemetery in Lviv.
