Abstract
The history of the development of radio astronomy in the Ukraine is described. The construction of unique radio telescopes and radio interferometers operating at decameter wavelengths is of special interest. The results of important studies of the Sun, planets and Galactic sources at these wavelengths are presented. The importance of detecting atomic line radio emission is underscored.

Notes
- 1.
As the development of radio astronomy has shown, this path was not the only possible one. High resolution can be realised using synthesised apertures, very long baseline interferometers, diffraction techniques, such as the occultation of radio sources by the Moon and so forth; however, at the beginning of the 1960s, these methods were not yet widely used, and so were not considered in detail.

The ID-2 was subsequently modernised to enable simultaneous measurements on two baselines (470 m and 88 m) by dividing the eastern antenna into two identical sections. In this case, the eastern antenna began to also be phased in its second coordinate—hour angle.
