  • Avoid "Parallax" Errors of Offse[ Me.&Surz~Ien
    Measurements have been a somewhat neglected subject in the order and medal field. Because pieces of insignia of the same type are known to vary considerably in size, par- ticularly in an order or medal which has flourished over a long period of time, it has apparently been felt that careful notation of size had no particular point. Only in the named medal area--where careful calipering of the horizontal dia- AVOID "PARALLAX" ERRORS OF meter compared with the near-vertical diameter may reveal OFFSE[ ME.&SURZ~IEN~ READINGS that an original naming has been shaved away to permit re- BY CAREFUL PLAC~[ENT OF THE PIECE BEING MEASURED £}~D BY impressing or reeingraving -- has careful measurement been CORRECT VERTICAL SIGHTING. taken very seriously. Nevertheless, all the facts that can be produced are necessary to a scientific evaluation of any piece being studied, and measurements are an important and easily ascertainable variable which enters into the picture. From th’e prac- tical viewpoint, such a simple factor as determining the proper class of a piece in some cases hangs on a borderline measurement of a millimeter or two. Substitutions of elements or unauthentic additions to a multi-element piece of insignia may likewise be revealed. From the broader viewpoint, as accurate measurement data is accumulated, the millimeter scale can become an important tool in assigning a particular piece of insignia to a certain maker or particular period in time. Going a step further, it is anticipated that later in this series it will be possible to demonstrate that many breast stars have a built- in "time-clock dimension" that will accurately place them in proper chronological sequence by a simple micrometer measurement.

  • Long-Distance Nationalism: Ukrainian Monuments and Historical Memory in Multicultural Canada
    CHAPTER 4 Long-Distance Nationalism: Ukrainian Monuments and Historical Memory in Multicultural Canada Per A. Rudling INTRODUCTION In October 2017, a political controversy erupted, as the Russian embassy in Ottawa posted a number of images on its twitter account, purporting to depict ‘Nazi memorials’ in Canada. Three images of memorials to Waffen-SS veterans, a prominent Nazi collaborator, and ultranationalist insurgents were accompanied by the comment ‘There are monuments to Nazi collaborators in Canada and nobody is doing anything about it’. The message was followed by the hash tags ‘#NeverForget #Holocaust #WorldWar2’ (‘Russia in Canada’ 2017) (Fig. 4.1). Three years earlier, Russia had invaded Ukraine and annexed parts of its territory, an action not seen in Europe since World War II. The invasion led to a sharp dete- rioration of Russia’s relations to the West, including Canada, the govern- ments of which strongly and publicly denounced the aggression. The diplomatic row of 2017 should be seen in the context of this conflict. P. A. Rudling (*) Lund University, Lund, Sweden e-mail: [email protected] © The Author(s) 2020 95 S.

  • The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army: Unwelcome Elements of an Identity Project
    Ab Imperio, 4/2010 John-Paul HIMKA THE ORGANIZATION OF UKRAINIAN NATIONALISTS AND THE UKRAINIAN INSURGENT ARMY: UNWELCOME ELEMENTS OF AN IDENTITY PROJECT Introduction What follows below are four polemical texts that aim to repudiate the legacy of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and of its armed force, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). They were motivated by the, unfortunately largely successful, campaign of former president Viktor Yushchenko in Ukraine and the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) in the North American diaspora to put the glorification of these radical right nationalists at the very center of the Ukrainian national identity project.1 1 On the most recent Remembrance Day in Canada (November 11, 2010), the UCC issued a statement containing this passage: “As Ukrainian Canadians we also remember and pay tribute to the millions of men and women who perished fighting for the freedom of their ancestral Ukrainian homeland. The men and women of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen, the 1st Ukrainian Division of the Ukrainian National Army, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.” The Ukrainian Sich Riflemen fought for an independent Ukraine after World War I, and the 1st Ukrainian Division was a Waffen-SS unit in World War II. 83 John-Paul Himka, Unwelcome Elements of an Identity Project It is my conviction that building an identity around these organizations, with their heavy history of war crimes and ethnic cleansing, is misguided, and in the texts below I attempt to explain why. The first two texts engaged with a colleague of mine at the University of Alberta, Zenon Kohut, director of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies and a prominent historian of Ukraine in the seventeenth and eigh- teenth centuries.

Yet state officials, diplomats and thou- sands of Catholics from Ukraine and abroad – including hundreds of Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) students and graduates – packed St. George Cathedral in Lviv on August 26 to witness the consecra- tion of the Rev. Borys Gudziak as the 49th bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. He will serve as apostolic exarch for Ukrainian Catholics of France, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. The cathedral’s tightly packed crowd – in which it was difficult for even politicians to get up front – reflected the profound effect that Bishop Borys, who turns 52 in November, has had on Ukrainian higher education during his 10-year tenure as UCU rector. During that decade, more than 2,500 students graduated, a 42-acre theo- logical seminary was built and construc- Zenon Zawada tion was launched on a 10-acre central campus where students now live.

  • Polish-Ukrainian Conflict Over Eastern Galicia | International Encyclopedia
    Version 1.0 | Last updated 08 October 2014 Polish-Ukrainian Conflict over Eastern Galicia By Oksana Dudko The Polish-Ukrainian conflict over Eastern Galicia in 1918-19 refers to an armed conflict between Poland and the West Ukrainian National Republic (Zakhidnoukrayins’ka Narodna Respublika, ZUNR). It took place largely on the territory of Eastern Galicia between 1 November 1918 and 17 July 1919. Table of Contents 1 Grounds for Conflict and Combatants’ Positions 2 Street Fighting in Lemberg 3 Battles in Eastern Galicia 4 Short- and Long-Term Consequences of the Conflict 5 A War of Memories Selected Bibliography Citation Grounds for Conflict and Combatants’ Positions The eastern portion of Galicia – the largest province within the Austro-Hungarian Empire – served as the principal setting for the conflict. In the countryside, ethnic Ukrainians were in the majority, whereas in Lemberg (Lviv/Lwów) and the surrounding towns they formed the minority. Before the war, ethnic Poles were the largest ethnic group in Lemberg proper; Jews comprised the second largest group, totaling more than 30 percent of city residents. Ukrainians formed the third largest group with 18 percent. With the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy on 16 October 1918, Charles I, Emperor of Austria (1887-1922) issued a proclamation granting autonomy to nations within the Empire. Both Poles and Ukrainians accordingly began to formulate plans to take control of Eastern Galicia, with the objective of establishing national rule. On 19 October 1918, the Ukrainian side formed a Ukrainian National Rada (Council) which announced its intention to establish an independent state on the territory of Eastern Galicia extending to the San River.

  • Nataliia Vovk UKRAINIAN GALICIAN ARMY MILITARY SYMBOLS and UNIFORM: SELECTED ISSUES Lviv Polytechnic National University
    Секція - Історія Nataliia Vovk UKRAINIAN GALICIAN ARMY MILITARY SYMBOLS AND UNIFORM: SELECTED ISSUES Lviv Polytechnic National University Introduction It is believed that uniforms and military distinctions in the armed forces discipline the personnel, significantly increase its morale and fighting spirit, enhance national consciousness, ensure the continuity of generations, give civilian and dignity of the warrior. The military of the Western Ukrainian People's Republic (WUPR), which was formed in the face of difficult conditions, during the active fighting in November 1918 was not an exception. The formation of a capable Ukrainian Galician Army (UGA) was closely linked not only to the organization of its combat units, quartermaster services, but also to the information system for providing troops. Against the background of a deep study of the important aspects of the WUPR armed forces construction, the problem of UGA information support during the Ukrainian- Polish confrontation should also be considered from the point of view of the analysis of the soldiers unity and legal documents that regulated the status of the UGA military form. The purpose of the study is to create an image of soldiers of the Ukrainian Galician Army. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to perform the following tasks: to analyze the historiographical and source base; identify the main elements of the analysis of the appearance of UGA soldiers; to analyze the main breastplates and orders of WUPR troops; to create an image of WUPR soldiers in the historiographic section. Analysis of historiographical sources reveals some gaps in the study of this problem. Among the researchers who partially analyzed the uniaxial UGA, we should mention M.

A slightly condensed version of the German- language Die Ukraine zwischen Selbstbestimmung und Fremdherrschaft 1917– 1922 (Graz, 2011), this book provides, on the one hand, a systematic outline of events in Ukraine during one of the most complex periods of twentieth- century European history, when the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires collapsed at the end of the Great War and new independent nation-states OF emerged in Central and Eastern Europe. On the other hand, several chapters of this book provide detailed studies of specifi c aspects of the occupation of Ukraine by German and Austro-Hungarian troops following the Treaty of UKRAINE Brest-Litovsk, signed on 9 February 1918 between the Central Powers and the Ukrainian People’s Republic.

    Remaking Terra Cosacorum: Kozak Revival and Kozak Collective Identity in Independent Ukraine by Huseyin Oylupinar A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies and Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Huseyin Oylupinar, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation was undertaken to test the premise whether the modern Kozak revival was or could be used as a platform by the Ukrainian national cultural establishment for renegotiation, reformation, and consolidation of national identity in post-Soviet Ukraine. Its primary aim was to observe the relevance and function of deeds, images, traditions, memories and spaces—that is, the symbolic sources of the Kozak forefathers in addressing the problems of national consolidation in the present time. Secondarily, it was to explore the tools used in communication, propagation and negotiation of Kozak identity in Ukraine today. To observe the functions of Kozak symbolic sources, the dissertation traces them from the late 17th century to the fall of the Soviet Union. To investigate the tools used for communicating, propagating and negotiating Kozak identity the dissertation examines modern-day Kozak communities, and Kozak physical and cultural spaces. Working on the presumptions —that post-Soviet Ukraine would require national consolidation, —that bridging the Kozak past into the present would constitute an essential process of national consolidation, and —that via Kozak symbolic sources nationally oriented Ukrainians would efficiently rediscover, reinterpret and regenerate the Kozak identity, an examination of the primary and secondary sources, and the original oral narratives gathered in the course of on-site fieldwork demonstrated ii convincingly that the Kozak revival has been an active and effective tool of the Ukrainian national establishment in negotiating and propagating national identity in independent Ukraine.
