Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/journalofukraini231 Journal of Ukrainian Studies 23, no. 1 (Summer 1998) Ukrainian-Polish Relations in Galicia in 1918-1919 Oleksandr Pavliuk Ukrainian-Polish relations in Galicia in 1918-1919 can be described by one word: war. Most Ukrainian and Polish historians acknowledge that this war determined the fate of Eastern Galicia and the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic (ZUNR). The first studies on the Polish-Ukrainian military and diplomatic conflict in Galicia during the existence of the ZUNR appeared in the 1920s and 1930s.^ Most of them were biased and polemical. Polish authors expounded on Poland’s “historical right” to Western Ukraine and the “artificiality” of the Ukrainian national movement, while the Ukrainian authors defended the righteousness of the Ukrainians’ struggle. Meanwhile Soviet authors treated the adversaries with equal disdain, condemning both the expansionism of “gentry” Poland and the activities of the “bourgeois nationalist” ZUNR government; they continued doing so until the collapse of the USSR.^ 1.

    ‘A FRAGMENT OF WHOLENESS’: THE MAKING OF THE POETIC SUBJECT IN VASYL STUS’S PALIMPSESTS Bohdan Tokarskyi St John’s College University of Cambridge The dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2019 PREFACE This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit of 80,000 words. ii ABSTRACT Bohdan Tokarskyi ‘A Fragment of Wholeness’: The Making of the Poetic Subject in Vasyl Stus’s Palimpsests My PhD thesis investigates the exploration of the self and the innovative poetical language in the works of the Ukrainian dissident poet and Gulag prisoner Vasyl Stus (1938-1985). Focusing on Stus’s magnum opus collection Palimpsests (1971-1979), where the poet casts the inhuman conditions of his incarceration to the periphery and instead engages in radical introspection, I show how Stus’s poetry foregrounds the very making of the subject as the constant pursuit of the authentic self. Through my examination of unpublished archival materials, analysis of Stus’s underexplored poems, and the contextualisation of the poet’s works within the tradition of the philosophy of becoming, I propose a new reading of Palimpsests, one that redirects scholarly attention from the historical and political to the psychological and philosophical.

  • Colonialism and Post- Colonialism
    DOI: 10.7816/idil-06-29-02 idil, 2017, Cilt 6, Sayı 29, Volume 6, Issue 29 UKRAINIAN LITERATURE BY WOMEN WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF COLONIALISM AND POST- COLONIALISM Radana MERZOVA1 ABSTRACT The article focuses on the roots of Ukrainian feminism, outstanding personalities involved in the development of Ukrainian literature and well-known contemporary female writers who interpret the colonial and postcolonial thinking in their works. The article compares the differencies in the development of feminism in the eastern and western Ukraine. The most important Ukrainian feminists are presented as well as their opinion streams and their works of literary criticism. The theme of women has been transformed in contemporary literature; therefore we focus mainly on the works of 20th century. In addition to women's issues we found concrete manifestations of anti-colonial and post-colonial resistance in the works of these Ukrainian authors across of time. The manifestations are based on the denouncement of imperialism. Contemporary Ukrainian feminism is re-evaluating the position of women in society in connection with the cultural and social situation and at the same time takes into account the political context within the particular stages of the historic development of the state. The paper gives examples of postcolonial mythologization of Ukrainian nation, formation of Ukrainian identity by activation of historical memory. In conclusion, the paper introduces a new heroine in Ukrainian prose - woman of complete subjective expressions, an open woman, sexually aware & intellectually mature. Keywords: Ukrainian feminism, contemporary Ukrainian female writers, colonial and postcolonial context in contemporary literary works, Lesia Ukrainka, Olena Teliha, Lina Kostenko, Marie Matios and Oxsana Zabuzhko.

Executive authority is shared by a directly elected president and a unicameral Verkhovna Rada (parliament), which selects a prime minister as head of government. Elections in 2007 for the 450-seat parliament were considered free and fair. A presidential election is scheduled for January 2010. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces. Human rights problems included reports of serious police abuse, beatings, and torture of detainees and prisoners; harsh conditions in prisons and detention facilities; arbitrary and lengthy pretrial detention; an inefficient and corrupt judicial system; and incidents of anti-Semitism. Corruption in the government and society was widespread. There was violence and discrimination against women, children, Roma, Crimean Tatars, and persons of non-Slavic appearance. Trafficking in persons continued to be a serious problem, and there were reports of police harassment of the gay community. Workers continued to face limitations to form and join unions, and to bargain collectively. During the year the government established the Office of the Governmental Commissioner for Anticorruption Policy, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General's Office introduced a new system to improve the recording of hate-motivated crimes.
