The publication is dedicated to the study of social interactions, everyday life, leisure, and daily life of a post-war village by studying the oral historical memory of the population of the former Nedryhail district of the Sumy region. The work presents transcripts of interviews with elderly people — ordinary direct participants and witnesses of events. Chronologically, the study is focused on the period of the first postwar twenty years (the second half of the 1940s — the first half of the 1960s), however, the features of the resulting narrative involve constant deviations from these time limits and excursions to earlier and later events. The memories presented as vivid illustrations make it possible to better understand the essence of the historical processes of the modern era and can be used as a source for writing further scientific works, to make future research both in the geographical boundaries of Ukraine and of a local history much more relevant.
