  • Social and Cultural Activity of Ukrainian Progressive Intellectuals of the Late 19Th – Early 20Th Centuries

The article deals with the social and cultural activities of Volodymyr Naumenko (1852–1919), a prominent representative of the Ukrainian progressive intellectuals of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, teacher and methodologist, editor and publisher, scholar and politician, educator and active public figure. Some aspects of V. Naumenko’s creative activity aimed at reviving the national consciousness of the Ukrainian people through the construction of an educational system on a democratic, national basis, the preparation and publish- ing of textbooks in the native language, the training of teaching staff for public schools are highlighted. The results of the active participation of a figure in such educational societies of the specified period as “Hromada”, “Prosvita”, “Society for promotion of primary education”, “Kyiv Literacy Society” are presented.

  • The Role of Right-Bank Ukraine's Orthodox Clergy in the Local Lore Movement (Second Half of the 19Th – Beginning of the 20Th Centuries)
    https://doi.org/10.4316/CC.2021.01.003 THE ROLE OF RIGHT-BANK UKRAINE'S ORTHODOX CLERGY IN THE LOCAL LORE MOVEMENT (SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH – BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURIES) Oleksii KOSHEL Yuriy Fedkovich Chernivtsi National University (Ukraine) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The study outlines the place and the role of Right-Bank Ukraine's Orthodox clergy (Kyiv, Volyn, and Podillia provinces) in the local lore movement in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries. The Roman Catholic Church and Polish historical science significantly influenced this region, which considered Right-Bank Ukraine to be Poland's eastern provinces. To eliminate Polish influence and justify the annexation of these areas to the Russian Empire and mass Russification in all spheres, the government authorities granted privileges to the Orthodox Church in Right-Bank Ukraine and encouraged the clergy to conduct local lore study. In the middle of the 19th century, Orthodox clergy were actively involved in creating historical and statistical descriptions of the Kyiv, Volyn, and Podillia Orthodox dioceses. The Kyiv Theological Academy, the Volyn, and Podillia Orthodox Theological Seminaries became the main centres of Right-Bank Ukraine's local lore movement. They were centres of regional research in history, archaeology, ethnology, folklore, and museum activity of Right-Bank Ukraine until the early 20th century. In the second half of the 19th - early 20th century, the clergy of Right-Bank Ukraine also published periodicals and scientific collections with their results. As evidenced by the conclusions of this research, these authors did not follow Synod's recommendations and expanded their study.

    Illnesses of Human Body: Magic and Curative Actions, Manipulations, Exerting Influence on Body Through Clothing, and Other Healing Practices in Ukrainian Traditional Culture Iryna Ignatenko1 1. Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Department of History, Sub- department of Ethnology and Local Studies, Volodymyrska St, 60, Kyiv, Ukraine, 01601 (Email: [email protected]) Received: 05 June 2016; Accepted: 19 July 2016; Revised: 10 August 2016 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 4 (2016): 239-250 Abstract: Based on the archival ethnographical sources and author’s field records, the article reviews Ukrainian magic curative rituals, performed over a patient’s body or its symbolic substitutes. Among these, most widely used actions are: curing the sickness with an egg or bread (cleansing), measuring body with a thread, “re-baking” in an oven, pulling (dragging) body through certain apertures, as well as face wash, sprinkling, bathing in an enchanted water, etc. Manipulations performed upon a sick person’s clothing are also examined. It is shown that, according to Ukrainian traditional beliefs, these symbolic actions should have led to a practical result, recovery, which, in turn, required patient’s unquestioning assurance in the effectiveness of all these magic actions and manipulations. Keywords: Human Body, Illness, Clothing, Magic, Ritual, Procedure, Tradition Introduction Folk medicine has been drawing attention of Ukrainian ethnologists and of amateur collectors, beginning from the very first stages of ethnological science’s origin. Moreover, one of the “firstborns” of Ukrainian ethnological science was the research dedicated to folk medicine, namely: “Malorossian superstitions, believed in by few” (1776) composed by A. Chepa who belonged to a family of the small Cossack starshina (by that time, Ukrainian quasi-military class of nobility and land tenants) in Poltavschina (currently Poltavska oblast).

The main sources for this article were materials of historical, ethnographic and literary journal “Kiyevskaya starina”. The idea of establishing a Rusyn university in Lviv appeared in the middle of the ХІХ century. The authors focused on the events that unfolded around this project at the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX centuries. Rusyns-Ukrainians were unable to defend their idea of establishing a university.
