Comprehensive analysis of sources has allowed the authors to study the problem in a detailed and multifaceted way. Specific features of the source base, as well as the subject and objective of the research, have determined the scope of essential tools employed including the conventional principles and methods used in historical studies, as well as practices of new local history that are being actively implemented at the present time.
