  • The 120Th Anniversary of the Birth of Kastuś Kalinoŭski in the BSSR (1958)
    105 The Journal of Belarusian Studies The 120th Anniversary of the Birth of Kastuś Kalinoŭski in the BSSR (1958) BY ANDRUŚ UNUČAK* In 1958, 120 years had passed since the birth of Kastuś Kalinoŭski on 2 Febru- ary 1838. The anniversaries of Kalinoŭski’s birth had been regularly commemorat- ed in the BSSR since 1924, the year that marked the 60th anniversary of his death. Commemoration of anniversaries was an important factor in the formation of the image of Kalinoŭski; they served to popularize him, and also to stimulate further research into his life and activities. The main feature of Kalinoŭski’s anniversaries in the BSSR was that if they were not celebrated widely, then at least they were marked in such a way as to be visible at the state level. Scholars, writers, painters, sculptors, and other intellectuals working in state institutions were all involved in the process. 1958 was the time of Khrushchev’s ‘thaw’ in the Soviet Union; the BSSR was affected as well. It was a time when the Belarusian intelligentsia received tacit per- mission to ‘rehabilitate’ and research the life and work of many people and events of national history and culture. The anniversaries became occasions to talk about figures of Belarusian history, to commemorate them and to broaden knowledge of them in society. It was all directly connected to the celebration of the 120th anni- versary of the birth of one of the leaders of the Uprising of 1863 in Belarus. I will try to answer the question of how this anniversary influenced the forma- tion of Kalinoŭski’s image in official discourse in the BSSR.

Our gathering in this city for a convention of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian studies is in many ways a homecoming, even for those of us who are new visitors. Arriving in Lviv we are immediately struck by the diversity of languages, cultures, religions, and narody. It is this diversity that originally attracted us to study this area of the world, no matter what part of it we study. The warm hospitality at Ukrainian Catholic University and the city of Lviv invites us to enjoy the beautiful campus for our convention sessions and, afterwards, to stroll historic streets for their contemporary musical and culinary delights.
