The goal is to create a historiographical portrait of the famous Ukrainian historian of the Soviet era A.V. Santsevych, to determine his place in the Ukrainian historiographical process and to assess his contribution to the development of national historiography, source studies, methodology, and history methods. Methodological approaches are based on the principles of anthropology, historical psychology, and the principles of historical biography; the general theory of generations (N. Howe and W. Strauss) and generational characteristics of Ukrainian historians proposed by Ya.S. Kalakura are taken into account. The scientific novelty lies in recreating the historiographical portrait of A.V. Santsevych against the background of the socio-political and historiographical situation in UkrSSR in the 1960s -- mid-1990s, the characteristics and correlation of "Ukrainianness" and "Sovietness" in his scientific activity. Conclusions. Focusing attention on the figure of A.V. Santsevych as typical one for Ukrainian historiography of the Soviet era, and the significance of his unique personality as a connecting link of several generations of Ukrainian historians. The theoretical and methodological works of A.V. Santsevych debunked the myth about the marginal state of Ukrainian historical science in the USSR and laid a reliable foundation for the development of historiography in modern Ukraine.
