  • 12 the Return of the Ukrainian Far Right the Case of VO Svoboda
    12 The Return of the Ukrainian Far Right The Case of VO Svoboda Per Anders Rudling Ukraine, one of the youngest states in Europe, received its current borders between 1939 and 1954. The country remains divided between east and west, a division that is discernible in language, culture, religion and, not the least, historical memory. Whereas Ukrainian nationalism in the 1990s was described in terms of “a minority faith,” over the past half-decade there has been a signifi cant upswing in far-right activity (Wilson, 1997: 117–146). The far-right tradition is particularly strong in western Ukraine. Today a signifi cant ultra-nationalist party, the All-Ukrainian Association ( Vseukrains’ke Ob ’’ iednanne , VO) Svoboda, appears to be on the verge of a political breakthrough at the national level. This article is a survey, not only of its ideology and the political tradition to which it belongs but also of the political climate which facilitated its growth. It contextualizes the current turn to the right in western Ukraine against the backdrop of instrumental- ization of history and the offi cial rehabilitation of the ultra-nationalists of the 1930s and 1940s. MEMORIES OF A VIOLENT 20TH CENTURY Swept to power by the Orange Revolution, the third president of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko (2005–2010), put in substantial efforts into the pro- duction of historical myths. He tasked a set of nationalistically minded historians to produce and disseminate an edifying national history as well as a new set of national heroes. Given Yushchenko’s aim to unify the country around a new set of historical myths, his legitimizing historians ironically sought their heroes in the interwar period, during which the Ukrainian-speaking lands were divided, and had very different historical experiences.

The extreme violence characteristic of Europe in the first half of the 20th century has left us with many tricky problems to work through, including historiographic ones with political and ethical dimensions. Among these incidents of violence is the famine that took millions of lives in the Soviet Union in 1932–33, particularly in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Under review here are four different kinds of works about the famine I would like to thank Dominique Arel and Serge Cipko for comments on an earlier draft of this review, although neither bears responsibility for the arguments in this text.

Often these actions included the destruction of villages along with part or all of their inhabitants. In March of 1943 the village of Khatyn was burned to the ground along with all of its inhabitants by Nazi troops, many of whom were from Western Ukraine. Though more than 600 Belarusian villages met a similar fate, the site of the Khatyn massacre was chosen for the construction of an expansive memorial complex in 1969. Over the course of its existence, the Khatyn memorial has become one of the most important symbols of the tremendous loss of life and suffering the Second World War inflicted on Belarus.

  • Introduction: the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and European Fascism During World War II*
    Introduction: The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and European Fascism During World War II* Andreas Umland and Yuliya Yurchuk This is the third instalment in an ongoing series of thematic JSPPS sections dedicated to the memory and history of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and its military arm, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukr. abbrev.: UPA).1 We are all too aware that it is a simplification to use the terms OUN and UPA without explaining further which exact organizations are actually meant. Using these terms as shorthand may lead the informed reader to ask: when we refer to the OUN, do we mean the OUN(b), the faction led by Stepan Bandera, or the OUN(m), the faction led by Andriy Melnyk, or even the OUN(z), i.e. “za kordonom” (abroad), formed after a split within Bandera’s post‐war s0‐called “ZCh [Zakordonni chastyny] OUN” (Foreign Parts of the OUN)? Likewise, when we talk about the UPA, * Kai Struve, Yuri Radchenko, Tomislav Dulić, Goran Miljan, Leonid Luks, and Per Anders Rudling provided feedback on a first draft of this introduction. About a dozen historians wrote useful anonymous reviews on the below three papers. Marian Luschnat kindly translated Radchenko’s article from Ukrainian into English. We are also very grateful to Julie Fedor for her extremely careful and patient final editing of the contributions to the three special sections published thus far (including this introduction).

With Ukraine and its prospects recently in the news, its dramatic, often tragic past has also come to the fore. One of its contentious aspects is the history of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Throughout the Cold War, the Ukrainian nationalist movement of the first half of the 20th century was vigorously defended by diaspora scholars in North America and the West more generally, while it was the subject of consistent and often hyperbolic denunciation in the Soviet press and literature.1 Since 1991, more discursive space and archives This essay was made possible thanks to my tenure as Ben and Zelda Cohen Fellow at the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

In so doing, it offers a theoretical model through which to understand the combative politics over history that have bur- geoned in Eastern and Central Europe after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Tracing how political discourse over the massacre has evolved from the late 1980s to the present, it examines the impact of exogenous influences and changing geopolitical realities on how this event is recalled within these two states, which exhibit markedly different relation- ships to their shared past. Questions of regime type, relative standing within the region, and how—as well as by whom—interstate discourse over contentious historical events is initiated are all central to the model of dispute origination developed herein, as is the pres- ence of various institutional factors, chief among them membership in the supranational European Union (EU). A shadow study of Polish–Ukrainian relations concerning history, focusing on the mass killing of ethnic Poles that took place in Volhynia and eastern Galicia in the period 1943–1945, is also undertaken in order to illuminate the significant differences in how the past has been politically activated in relations between the respec- tive post-Soviet dyads of Poland–Russia and Poland–Ukraine.

    Electronic Offprint The Underbelly of Canadian Multiculturalism : Holocaust Obfuscation and Envy in the Debate about the Canadian Museum for Human Rights KARYN BALL AND PER ANDERS RUDLING This essay contextualises the recent controversy about the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR), which opened in September 2014 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, by documenting the background shadowing the campaigns spearheaded by the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Ukrainian Canadian Congress against CMHR advisory board plans to install a permanent gallery devoted to the Holocaust. Their history demonstrates how these ultranationalist lobbies have glorified the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, its militant wing (UPA), and the Waffen-SS Galizien while rationalising or occluding their roles in Second World War period massacres of Jewish and Polish civilians. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights Recent debates about the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) which opened in September 2014 have taken place against the backdrop of a decades-long history of complicated relations between Jews and Ukrainians in Canada.

  • Destruction and Human Remains
    Destruction and human remains HUMAN REMAINS AND VIOLENCE Destruction and human remains Destruction and Destruction and human remains investigates a crucial question frequently neglected in academic debate in the fields of mass violence and human remains genocide studies: what is done to the bodies of the victims after they are killed? In the context of mass violence, death does not constitute Disposal and concealment in the end of the executors’ work. Their victims’ remains are often treated genocide and mass violence and manipulated in very specific ways, amounting in some cases to true social engineering with often remarkable ingenuity. To address these seldom-documented phenomena, this volume includes chapters based Edited by ÉLISABETH ANSTETT on extensive primary and archival research to explore why, how and by whom these acts have been committed through recent history. and JEAN-MARC DREYFUS The book opens this line of enquiry by investigating the ideological, technical and practical motivations for the varying practices pursued by the perpetrator, examining a diverse range of historical events from throughout the twentieth century and across the globe. These nine original chapters explore this demolition of the body through the use of often systemic, bureaucratic and industrial processes, whether by disposal, concealment, exhibition or complete bodily annihilation, to display the intentions and socio-political frameworks of governments, perpetrators and bystanders. A NST Never before has a single publication brought together the extensive amount of work devoted to the human body on the one hand and to E mass violence on the other, and until now the question of the body in TTand the context of mass violence has remained a largely unexplored area.
