abstract: 'The purpose of the paper is to highlight the living conditions of

  disabled people of the Great Patriotic War in post-war Ukraine, which

  were resulted from certain measures for the social protection of that

  social group, implemented by the party-government leadership of the

  republic.

  The scientific novelty is in the fact that the study focuses on

  manifestations of discrimination by the authorities against certain

  groups of the social community of disabled front-line soldiers in the

  Ukrainian SSR.

  Conclusions. The process of legal registration of the social group

  `invalids of the Great Patriotic War'' in the USSR and the Ukrainian SSR

  began in 1940 and continued until the end of the Second World War. The

  disabled of the Soviet-German War were legally separated from all social

  groups of the social security system and had a number of rights and

  privileges. At the same time, the practice of implementing the policy of

  the disabled WWII soldiers'' social protection by the party-government

  leadership of the USSR and Ukrainian SSR testified to a general tendency

  to ignore those rights and privileges.

  The facts of the encroachment of the highest-ranking Communist party and

  government of the USSR and Ukraine representatives upon the process of

  determining the degree of loss of labor capacity of disabled veterans

  with the aim of reducing expenses for supporting their incomes are found

  out. The reasons for such actions of the authorities are analyzed. The

  dependence of the social protection of the war disabled on the

  ideological guidelines of the communist state as well as the

  command-administrative system of managing the economy and social policy

  is revealed. Disabled WWII soldiers who lived in the villages were

  discriminated against as well. They were paid a smaller pension, were

  not given food stamps for a guaranteed supply of bread, and were not

  exempted from taxes in kind in the form of harvesting agricultural

  products. It was discrimination on social grounds.

  The administrative and coercive character of the solution to the problem

  of employment of disabled WWII soldiers in post-war Ukraine is proven.

  The paper shows the facts of discrimination against disabled war

  veterans with severe injuries who tried to survive on their own in hard

  living conditions, engaging in petty trade or begging. Authorities

  deprived them of freedom of movement, freedom of choice of occupation,

  and even personal freedom, forcibly sending them to specialized

  institutions. The top officials of the republic were also involved in

  that.'
