A list of sources necessary for reconstructing I.M. Ionenko’s biography was compiled. The stages of his life path were identified. The influence of changes in the historiographic situation of the second half of the 1950s and the discussions held during the 1960s was discussed. I.M. Ionenko’s participation in the activity of the Science Council on the Complex Problem “Great October Socialist Revolution” was analyzed. His role in the establishment and development of the Volga Section of the Science Council and the Regional Association of Agricultural Historians of the Middle Volga Region was shown.
