Exactly this academic group in the Institute of Ukrainian Scientific Language Science Academy of Ukrainе was «appointed» as the center of ULU in the Academy, and Serhii Yefremov — as the head of the «hostile» organization.

In the declassified archives of the Security Service of Ukraine, materials of the process of ULU are stored, among which there are cases of three members of the Living Ukrainian Dictionary Commission: H. Holoskevych, A. Nikovskiy, V. Hantsov and S. Yefremov. This article will discuss the Living Ukrainian Dictionary Commission through the prism of the case Serhii Yefremov.

Yefremov — the national direction of scientific activity, involvement of skilled workers, formation of the Ukrainian scientific terminology on a specific basis — in cases were qualified as political activity of ULU. It was once again confirmed: to be an enemy to the Soviet power, it was enough merely to love nation and have the dignity to work for her self-affirmation.
