The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) commemorated its 40th anniversary in 2016. A large sign was placed outside Pembina Hall, on the main University of Alberta campus where it was housed on the fourth floor that said simply: “CIUS – 40 Years of Excellence.” There were a number of events over the year but the highlight was a conference on October 14 and 15 entitled: “Ukrainian Studies in Canada: Texts and Contexts.” The day before the conference, Taras Kuzio, whom Kravchenko had appointed a Research Associate on a three-year contract, offered a talk on “Is Donbas part of Ukraine?” Kuzio was unhappy because his contract had not been renewed, partly as a result of his YouTube broadcasts, several of which targeted CIUS among his usual victims of scholars who in his view were hostile to Ukraine, “Putinophiles,” or fellow travellers. The Conference had a formidable array of scholars working on Ukraine throughout their scholarly careers. It included from Canada: Volodymyr Kravchenko, Paul Robert Magocsi, Serhii Yekelchyk, Bohdan Kordan, Manoly Lupul, Myroslav Shkandrij, Frank Sysyn, Zenon Kohut, Alla Nedashkivska, Heather Coleman, Natalia Khanenko-Friesen, Lubomyr Luciuk, and myself.

  • Review of Orest Subtelny with Orest Dzulynsky Et Al. Plast: Ukrainian Scouting, a Unique Story, EWJUS, Vol. 5, No. 2, 2018
    Book Reviews 223 Orest Subtelny with Orest Dzulynsky et al. Plast: Ukrainian Scouting, a Unique Story. Plast Publishing, 2016. xx, 442 pp. Illustrations. Maps. Tables. Glossary of Plast Terms. Sources and Further Reading. Index. $35.00, cloth. he last major project undertaken by distinguished York University T historian Orest Subtelny prior to his death was a comprehensive history of Plast, the Ukrainian scouting association that was formally initiated in Western Ukraine in 1912. In the book under review, co-authors (Orest Dzulynsky, Tanya Dzulynsky, and Oksana Zakydalsky), a coordinating committee, contributors, and reviewers worked with Subtelny. Subtelny begins by examining the genesis of the Plast organization in the western Ukrainian lands of Eastern Galicia, which were within the confines of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. There, the organization adapted the tenets of Lord Robert Baden-Powell’s scouting movement within a Ukrainian milieu. The term for the organization itself comes from the Kuban Cossacks, who called their military scouts “plastuny” (8). Subtelny positions the origins of Plast within the context of existing student societies and the popular Sokil and Sich physical-education movements, and he outlines its spread to Bukovyna, Volhynia, Transcarpathia, and, to a limited extent, central and eastern Ukraine. He describes the organization’s tribulations through two world wars—how it suffered under changing and hostile occupational regimes before migrating to diasporas worldwide. The golden age of the Plast organization occurred during the 1920s, at a time when western Ukrainian territories were incorporated into the interwar Polish state. During this period, the organization developed rapidly in both a quantitative sense and a qualitative sense.

  • Canadian Historiography of Modern Ukraine, EWJUS, Vol. 5, No. 1, 2018
    Studying the Blueprint for a Nation: Canadian Historiography of Modern Ukraine Serhy Yekelchyk University of Victoria Abstract: This article discusses the development of a Canadian historiography of modern Ukraine. It argues that the early focus on Ukrainian nation building determined the range of topics that interested Canadian historians, but over the following years their methodology changed significantly. The development of social history provided indispensable tools for in-depth analysis of the Ukrainian national movement. The subsequent development of a new cultural history, post-colonial studies, and the “linguistic turn” allowed for a more subtle analysis of the Ukrainian patriotic discourse and practice. New scholarship focusing on the ambiguities of imperial projects and the everyday life allowed for a re-evaluation of the traditional emphasis on the national intelligentsia’s organic work. Because of its focus on the making of a modern Ukrainian nation, beginning in the 1990s Canadian historiography was well positioned to assist in the transformation of Ukrainian historical scholarship from Soviet models to new theoretical and methodological foundations. This often meant helping Ukrainian colleagues to revise the very “national paradigm” of history writing that early Canadian historians had helped develop. In the decades after an independent Ukraine emerged in 1991, the study of Ukrainian nation building became an increasingly global and collaborative enterprise, with historians from Ukraine studying and working in Canada, and with conferences on topics related to modern Ukrainian history involving scholars from around the world. Keywords: modern Ukraine, Canada, historiography, nation building, national movement. hen the Ukrainian-Canadian historian Orest Subtelny passed away in 2016, the prominent Ukrainian journalist Vitalii Portnikov wrote W that Subtelny’s Ukraine: A History “gave us Ukraine.

    Parliamentary Assembly Assemblée parlementaire Doc. 10878 8 April 2006 Observation of the parliamentary elections in Ukraine (26 March 2006) Report Ad hoc Committee of the Bureau of the Assembly Rapporteur: Mrs Renate Wohlwend, Liechtenstein, Group of the European People's Party The 2006 Parliamentary Elections were generally in line with Council of Europe standards and commitments for democratic elections. These elections further consolidated the breakthrough in the conduct of democratic elections that started with the re-run of the second round of the Presidential elections in 2004. Despite technical shortcomings, in a clear break with the past, Ukraine demonstrated its commitment to the democratic process and voters could express their will freely on Election Day. The ad hoc Committee calls upon the Ukrainian authorities, including the incoming Verkhovna Rada, to address the remaining shortcomings and implement the recommendations contained in this report. I. Introduction 1. Following invitations by the President of Ukraine and the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada the Bureau of the Assembly decided to set up an ad hoc Committee to observe the Parliamentary Elections in Ukraine to be held on 26 March 2006, and appointed me as the Chairperson and rapporteur of this Ad Hoc Committee. 2. In conformity with article 15 of the cooperation agreement between the Assembly and the European Commission for Democracy through Law ( “Venice Commission” ) which provides that “When the Bureau of the Assembly decides to observe an election in a country in which electoral legislation was previously examined by the Venice Commission, one of the rapporteurs of the Venice Commission on this issue may be invited to join the Assembly's election observation mission as legal adviser”, the Bureau of the Assembly invited an expert from the Venice Commission to join the ad hoc Committee as advisor.
