For years, Galicia had been a part of Poland. Its scenery, woods and rivers had been our parents’ memories. A Jewish culture had developed in Galicia, the Yiddish language was created there, customs established, unique Jewish foods cooked, the figure of the “Yiddishe Mame” developed, inspiring a good deal of genealogical research; “Halakhot” and Rabbinic Laws made; an authoritative leadership established in the towns, organizing communities on their social institutions – Galicia gave birth to the “Shttetl” – the Jewish town, on all its social-historical and emotional implications.

    Viacheslav Briukhovetsky: “The Idea of the Rebirth of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Came to Me a Year before the Breakup of the USSR...” Conducted by: Volodymyr Panchenko Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 2 (2015): 1–10 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmhj.ukma.edu.ua/ Viacheslav Briukhovetsky: “The Idea of the Rebirth of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Came to Me a Year before the Breakup of the USSR…” A Conversation with Viacheslav Briukhovetsky, the Honorary President of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Volodymyr Panchenko: Our readers, I think, will be interested in finding out about the historical phenomenon of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and its beginnings. What does this phenomenon consist of? Viacheslav Briukhovetsky: We should begin with the fact that like most universities of the time, the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (KMA) had its beginnings as a school. Such was the case with Oxford and most other prominent universities that also had their beginnings as small schools. The school from which the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy emerged was the Bratsk [Brotherhood] Orthodox School of the Bratsk Monastery. Its founder was Halshka Hulevychivna, who did not form the school’s academic concept, but provided land and buildings for the school (including her own domicile). The first rector was Iov Boretsky, who mapped the ideology of the school. It is more than likely that the Bratsk School was not founded in 1615. Information exists (unfortunately, no documents survive) that this could have happened in 1585. But the first documented date is 1615. In 1632 Petro Mohyla united the Bratsk and Lavra monastery schools 2 Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 2 (2015) and set the principle that the new school was not to be just an Orthodox school, but a school modelled on European Jesuit schools, those schools that the new school was to polemicize with.

  • Ukraine) on the Fourth Periodic Report of Ukraine on the Implementation of The
    Written Comments by Hungarian Researchers and NGOs in Transcarpathia (Ukraine) on the Fourth Periodic Report of Ukraine on the implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities Berehovo – Beregszász, January 20, 2017 1 2 Executive summary This alternative report is submitted by Hungarian researchers and non-governmental organizations representing the Hungarian community living in Transcarpathia county (Закарпатська область) of Ukraine. The report is prepared with the cooperation of members of the Transcarpathian Hungarian Cultural Association, the Transcarpathian Association of Hungarian Pedagogues, the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Ukraine, the A. Hodinka Linguistic Research Centre, and the T. Lehoczky Research Centre. It focuses on issues of implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities in Transcarpathia, and aims to complement the government’s periodic report by shedding light on the perspective of the national minorities and the users of regional and minority languages and point out some problematic issues, which remain unsolved despite the ratification of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. The following comments address issues raised in the Ukrainian Government’s report. They are structured according to the Articles of the Framework Convention. These comments are in no way comprehensive, and a lack of response to some of the Government’s statements should not indicate their acceptance or endorsements. Simply for the sake of brevity we concentrated on questions that seemed to be the most important, or where the most relevant recent developments have taken place. Ukraine, which became independent in 1991, is undergoing its most serious crisis. Besides the political and economic troubles it has to deal with a military conflict as well.

The first, Shelley Pollero’s column on page 2, explains the reasons that the Steering Committee has felt it necessary to raise Gesher Galicia’s dues … mainly the increased costs of publishing The Galitzianer and the Gesher Galicia Family Finder. The second, on page 3, describes a proposed electronic option for distributing The Galitzianer via email to those who want to receive it that way.

  • Appendices I
    Appendices I. Archival Sources Archival research for this monograph was conducted in Lviv, the former capital of Galicia, in 1983. To orient myself in the rich archival holdings of this city, I benefitted from the unpublished manuscript of Patricia K. Grimsted's forthcoming guide to Soviet Ukrainian archives and manuscript repositories' as well as from a number of published works.' Plans to use archives in Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk were frustrated, as was the plan to use the manuscript collection of the Institute of Literature of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (in Kiev). Work in the Austrian archives in 1982 did not uncover sources of direct relevance to the subject of this monograph, but the Viennese archives remain an important and little-explored repository of historical documentation on Galician history. The richest collection of unpublished sources on the history of Galicia during the Austrian period is located in the Central State Historical Archives of the Ukrainian SSR in Lviv (U Tsentrainyi derzhavnyi istorychnyi arkhiv URSR u rn. Lvovi; abbre- viated as TsDIAL). The Central Archives have inherited the papers of various Galician government institutions and major civic organizations. Unfortunately, there is no published guide to these archives, although a number of articles describe aspects of their holdings.' The papers of the Presidium of the Galician Viceroy's Office (U Haiytske narnisnytstvo, rn. Lviv. Prezydiia) are contained in TsDIAL, fond 146, opysy 4-8 (and presumably others). Particularly valuable for this study were documents dealing with the publication and confiscation of political brochures and periodicals, including , Patricia K.
