Abstract
The paper is devoted to a comprehensive study of the leading directions of the organizational work of the Soviet state security bodies concerning the creation of partisan formations on the territory of the Ukrainian SSR (June 22, 1941 — November 19, 1942). The activity of the Soviet special services in the partisan environment on the territory of the Ukrainian SSR is analyzed in order to reveal their contribution to the repulse of the Nazi aggressors and assistance to the Red Army. The publication is based on documents of the NKVD-NKGB bodies little-known to a wide range of researchers from archival funds.
