Abstract

One of the historical-anthropology aspects of the intern-Party life of the political Establishment of the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic in 1929-1932 is considered in this article. Party-members' deserts and suicide are presented as significant display of crisis of Stalin's political regime by entire Collectivization's period. The interpretation of materials of the Central Council of the Communist (Bolsheviks) Party of Ukraine which are marked with "Top secret" stamp gives grounds to establish a fact of mass spreading of felones-de-se as the system phenomenon: this was in the same time that Party's leaders proclaimed the communist idea's triumph. Contrary to early 1920s where self-murders were a result of great tiredness of fighters over the communist idea, cases of suicide in 1930s were a consequence of an awful psychological press on people that were the functionaries of the Bolsheviks System. The Author supposes that Stalin's political regime was not only cruel but inhuman and demoniac. The USSR Leadership pushed the State in such madness that human's mind became broken.
