A typical example of deliberate falsification of historical facts is the following quotation (p. 810) from the supposedly highly reputable Great Ukrainian History published in 1948 by Ivan Tyktor: “In answer to hetman Skoropadsky’s proclamation of the federation of Ukraine with Muscovy (November 14, 1918), an all-Ukrainian in- surrection erupted under the leadership of Simon Petlyura”. The authors of Great Ukrainian History were in- telligent enough to know that this statement was totally false, dishonest and malicious. In view of mountains of evidence to the contrary, only a perverted mind could con- coct the falsehood that the insurrection was precipitated by the Hetman’s unilateral declaration regarding federation. The insurrection, orchestrated by Lenin through C. Rakovsky and D. Manuilsky (see: D. Doroshenko, History of Ukraine, Vol. II, pp. 227-228), was neither all-Ukrainian nor national. It was launched by the socialist parties (some were openly pro-Bolshevik) posing under the name of “The Ukrainian National Union”. Falsely using the words “Ukrainian”, “national” in their name, these parties hypocritically claimed that they alone mirrored the in- terests of “all the Ukrainian people”. The same Great Ukrainian History on the same page records that “the insurrectional army of the Directory, recruited from amongst the peasants of feeble national con- sciousness whose appetites were whetted by the land reforms, overwhelmingly manifested its pro-Bolshevik sym- 1 pathies. Without having a proper understanding of the im- portance of state independence, they demanded above all else the parcelling out of large proprietors’ lands without compensation; when the Directory found it impossible to satisfy their demands immediately, they turned sharply against it. The rebel forces of Hryhoriev, Makhno and Zeleny embraced the “soviet” cause; afterwards the more leftist members of the government, led by Vynnychenko, came out with the proposal that Ukraine be proclaimed a soviet republic”. This indicates very clearly who was hiding behind the “all-Ukrainian national” label. Simon Petlyura and his fellow-traitors soon discovered that destroying the Ukrainian State was easy, but building another one in its place was far beyond their capabilities. Their “mighty” “all-Ukrainian national insurgent force” (for destruction) burst like a soap bubble in their faces and evaporated. The socialist “heroes” then fled to the capitalists . In their memoirs the conspirators themselves revealed that they were plotting the insurrection months before the Hetman was forced to announce the hramota concerning federation. Hence the hramota and the insurrection could not have related to each other as cause and effect. The hramota was not the cause but an excuse for the insurrec- tion — invented later as an afterthought. Only a moron would maintain that the Hetman con- cluded a genuine, valid federation with Russia. And morons don't stop to ask themselves: When and where was the in- itial conference concerning federation held? Who represented the Russian side? Who signed the preliminary agreement setting out the terms concerning representation, currency, armed forces, courts, postal matters, foreign relations, etc. which preceded the declaration of federation? When did the federation come into force? When was it ratified by competent authorities on both sides? There are 2 no answers to these questions because the Hetman's con- trahent never existed. Gen. M. Kapustyansky appraised the issue honestly, truthfully and succinctly: “The Hetman announced the federation only for the purpose of saving the Ukrainian statehood, after learning about the unfavourable attitude of the Western Allies. The French were about to land in Odessa. The Hetman, wishing to save the Ukrainian State at all costs, announced a Fictitious federation with a future non-Bolshevik government of Russia to win the Allied favour and help". (Gen. M. Kapustyansky , Pokhid Ukrainskoyi Armiyi, Munich, 1946, book 1, p. 14). For years the Ukrainian socialists were engrossed with the idea of federation with Russia — became saturated to capacity with federation. They were forever lapping it up. Federation with socialist Russia was their fondest dream, their highest ideal. It was closest to their hearts. They fought for it. Federation

  • Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.
