The article deals with the organization and activity of the section of general history, which functioned in the 1920s in Dnipropetrovsk attached to the scientific and research department of Ukrainian studies. The role of M. Brechkevych in the organization of the section and formation of scientific directions is determined. This section studied the history of Western Slavs, Slavic laws, Slavic colonization of Southern Ukraine, international relations of Ukraine, and the theoretical problems of medieval and world history. Special literature was purchased, domestic and foreign historical journals were subscribed for the productive section activity. The issue of M. Brechkevych’s foreign business trip was raised more than once, but it was not resolved positively. A series of articles was published in Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv scientific journals by M. Brechkevych on the basis of the work. In addition to the scientific research, the section staff had to deliver lectures to the workers and teachers of the city.
