legality, the resumption of legal labour inspections, which were abolished from the
apparatus of trade unions in 1940.
Instead, a significant number of papers of this period could be placed under the
heading "Labour Law in the Service of Socialist Construction" [23, p. 155-156], when
it was argued that only socialism could ensure the scientific management of society in
general and labour resources in particular. Accordingly, it was characteristic of the
science of labour law were works related to the justification of proper organization and
labour protection. In this connection, a series of papers appeared as researchers of
administrative law, as well as researchers of labour law, who addressed the problems
of supervision and control. Among the experts on administrative law one should
highlight the paper of M. Studenikina, who carried out a historical review of the
formation and development of bodies of superintendent control [28], J. Zdir [29],
I. Horsheniev, I. Shakhov [30] and others.
Attention was paid to the supervision and control of such well-known specialists
in labour law as M. Aleksandrov, V. Andriiv, A. Zaikin, although mostly at the level
of textbooks. However, a number of scientists have resorted to more in-depth
theoretical studies of the legal nature of supervision and control over the observance of
labour legislation. Thus, A. Tsepin addresses the issue of differentiation of the concepts
of supervision and control, their characteristics and comes to the conclusion about the
relative autonomy of these types of activities of trade unions [31, p. 7]. The same
problem was also of interest to the scientist L. Koniakhin, who emphasized that the
concept of "supervision" and "control" did not become scientific terms that would
exhaust their essence and differences, but often in normative acts, the same activity is
called differently, or, on the contrary, one term denotes different types of inspections
in their content [32, p. 17].
For this period, there is a further development of the doctrine of labour relations
instituted by M. Aleksandrov that, owing to the well-known Ukrainian Soviet scholars
A. Matsiuk, O. Protsevskyi, P. Pylypenko, V. Prokopenko, developed to substantiate
the place of collective, organizational and managerial, security relations in the subject
of labour law, which became, among other things, a significant step in the research of
the issue of the place of the institution of supervision and control over the observance
of labour legislation in the system of law.
Modern Ukrainian and foreign historiography. A qualitatively new period in
the research of both the theory and history of labour law in general, as well as
organizational and legal models of supervision and control in Ukraine, in particular,
began with the achievement of independence. Such determinants as the dismantling of
the party and ideological component, the liberalization of social life, the return to the
concept of natural law, allowed enriching science with the new methodological
approaches and contributed to a rethinking of the persistent views on the phenomena
