Cursed Days, a Diary of the Revolution'
H-Russia Rose on Bunin, 'Cursed Days, A Diary of the Revolution' Review published on Thursday, October 1, 1998 Ivan Bunin. Cursed Days, A Diary of the Revolution. Chicago: Ivan R. Dee Publisher, 1998. xiii + 286 pp. $28.50 (paper), ISBN 978-1-56663-186-0. Reviewed by Linda P. Rose (Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, University of California at Los Angeles) Published on H-Russia (October, 1998) Revolutionary Days: Still Cursed? Cursed Days, Ivan Bunin's diary/notebook written during and about the Russian Revolution and the Civil War, became immensely popular in Russia after the Soviets lost power through a bloodless revolution. Since 1991, no less than fifteen separate editions of Bunin's diary/notebook have been published in Russia. There can be many explanations for the diary/notebook's popularity. Bunin's diary/notebook and other works, along with the books of other Russian emigre authors, were banned by the Soviets by the end of the 1920's. Although they could not be bought in stores, these authors could not be eliminated from the hearts and minds of some Russians. With the Soviets' downfall, many sought to know more about the events that had occurred between 1918-1920. Another, perhaps more pressing motive for the readers was to understand more about their own evolving revolution. While the Bolsheviks' dependence on bloodshed to re-shape Russia has not been copied by their successors since the 1991 Revolution, ethnic strife, economic woes, and social upheaval have accompanied the revolution. The battles in Chechnya continue. Economic problems are common, and many public servants and the military personnel get sub-existence wages. -
To Children I Give My Heart Vasily
TO CHILDREN I GIVE MY HEART VASILY SUKHOMLINSKY (Translated from the Russian by Holly Smith) From the Publishers Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky (1918-1970) devoted thirty-five years of his short life to the upbringing and instruction of children. For twenty-nine years he was director of a school in the Ukrainian village of Pavlysh, far away from the big cities. For his work in education, he was awarded the titles of Hero of Socialist Labour and Merited Teacher of the Ukrainian SSR; and elected Corresponding Member of the Academy of Pedagogical Science of the USSR. What is the essence of Vasily Sukhomlinsky's work as an educator? Progressive educators have long tried to merge upbringing and instruction into one educational process. This dream was realized in the educational work of Sukhomlinsky. To see an individual in every school child - this was the essence of his educational method and a necessary requirement for anyone who hopes to raise and teach children. Vasily Sukhomlinsky showed in theory and practice that any healthy child can get a modern secondary education in an ordinary public school without any separation of children into group of bright and less bright. This was no new discovery. But he found the sensible mean that enable, the teacher to lead the child to knowledge in keeping with the national educational programme. The main thing for Sukhomlinsky was to awaken the child's desire to learn, to develop a taste for self-education and self-discipline. Sukhomlinsky studied each of his pupils, consulting with the other teachers and with the parents, comparing his own thoughts with the views of the great educators of the past and with folk wisdom. -

Degree awarded June 2018. ii © 2018 Veronika Korovianska iii THESIS ABSTRACT Veronika Korovianska Master of Arts Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Asian Studies June 2018 Title: Establishing National Identity in the Twentieth-Century China: Traces of Russian and Ukrainian Literature in the New Chinese Literature Russian literature is traditionally regarded as one that served a model and guide for Chinese intellectuals in developing their national literature. It is also recognized that Eastern European literatures drew much attention of Chinese intellectuals in their quest for national identity and modernization. This thesis is aimed at providing a more detailed look at the Chinese-Slavic literary discourse of the 1920’s, focusing on Russian literature as a recognized literary “authority” of the time, and Ukrainian literature as an example of a literature of an oppressed nation, which went under both Russian and Eastern European “labels” at the time. -

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.
