The document also contains conclusions on the prevalence of legal issues in this period, recommendations and suggestions for central executive bodies and local authorities on possible ways to address these issues, in particular to improve existing information exchange mechanisms between governmental and non-governmental legal aid providers.

  • The Cossack Myth: History and Nationhood in the Age of Empires
    THE COSSACK MYTH In the years following the Napoleonic Wars, a mysterious manuscript began to circulate among the dissatisfied noble elite of the Russian Empire. Entitled The History of the Rus′, it became one of the most influential historical texts of the modern era. Attributed to an eighteenth-century Orthodox archbishop, it described the heroic struggles of the Ukrainian Cossacks. Alexander Pushkin read the book as a manifestation of Russian national spirit, but Taras Shevchenko interpreted it as a quest for Ukrainian national liberation, and it would inspire thousands of Ukrainians to fight for the freedom of their homeland. Serhii Plokhy tells the fascinating story of the text’s discovery and dissemination, unravelling the mystery of its authorship and tracing its subsequent impact on Russian and Ukrainian historical and literary imagination. In so doing, he brilliantly illuminates the relationship between history, myth, empire, and nationhood, from Napoleonic times to the fall of the Soviet Union. serhii plokhy is the Mykhailo Hrushevsky Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University. His previous publications include Ukraine and Russia: Representations of the Past (2008)andThe Origins of the Slavic Nations: Premodern Identities in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus (2006).

  • The Renaming of Streets in Post-Revolutionary Ukraine: Regional Strategies to Construct a New National Identity Oleksiy Gnatiuk
    Original Article 119 The renaming of streets in post-revolutionary Ukraine: regional strategies to construct a new national identity Oleksiy Gnatiuk Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT After the 2014 revolution, a massive renaming of toponyms related to the communist ideology took place in Ukraine. The results of this renaming help understand the essentiality of Ukrainian delayed post-socialist and post-colonial transition and, in particular, national and regional identities that Ukrainians are going to build, and ideology that local and national authorities are going to impose. This study covers the 36 largest cities in Ukraine with a population of more than 100,000 and focuses on the new street names that appeared as the result of de-communization. It was found that in south-eastern Ukraine, the renaming strategy was targeted to avoid the commemorative names, especially those related to military-political events and personalities, as well as to depoliticize urban toponyms, by using non-commemorative categories of street names, like topographical or poetic ones, or restor- ing the historical toponyms. On the contrary, new toponyms in western and central Ukraine reflect the legacy of the national liber- ation movements of the 20th century. However, urban toponyms in the most eastern regions, including Donbas, continue to retain close links with the Soviet period. The memory of the Cossack era and Ukrainian Peoples Republic seems to be the well-perceived and common-shared strata of national identity. At the same time, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the Soviet legacy remain topics dividing the Ukrainian society.

    конец правды | the end of truth YOUR MY [HI]STORY ? Kyiv [2018] Твоя історія? Моя історія? Ця публікація документує і підсумовує проект «Твоя історія? Моя історія?», який ініціювали організаторки культурних проектів із Москви, Києва та Дніпра Марійка Семененко, Анна Погрібна й Катерина Семенюк у межах міжнародної програми співпраці для культурних менеджерів Tandem Ukraine. Співпраця розпочалася у 2016 році зі спільного інтересу до культури пам’яті та критичного осмислення минулого за допомогою учасницьких практик, усноісторичних та архівних досліджень. А її результатом у 2017-му стали дві частини проекту: «Кінець правди» в Москві та «Люди і ракети [в закритому місті]» у Дніпрі. This publication documents the project “Your (hi)story? My (hi) story?” initiated by Marika Semenenko (Moscow), Anna Pohribna (Kyiv) and Kateryna Semenyuk (Dnipro) within the framework of Tandem Ukraine, an international cooperation programme for cultural managers. Their collaboration began in 2016 based on a common interest in the culture of memory and critical reflection on the past through participatory practices, oral histories and archival research. It culminated in 2017 with two parts of the project: “The End of Truth” in Moscow and “People and Rockets [in a closed city]” in Dnipro. Публикация посвящена проекту «Твоя история? Моя история?», который инициировали Марийка Семененко (Москва), Анна Погрибна (Киев) и Катерина Семенюк (Днепр) в рамках международной программы сотрудничества менеджеров культуры Tandem Ukraine. Коллаборация началась в 2016 году с общего интереса всех трех участниц к теме культуры памяти и критическому переосмыслению прошлого. Методология проекта основывалась на изучении архивных материалов, сборе устных историй и партисипативных культурных практиках. Совместная работа была завершена в 2017 году и состояла из двух отдельных проектов: «Конец правды» в Москве и «Люди и ракеты [в закрытом городе]» в Днепре.
