  • THE DEVELOPMENT of BANDURA MUSIC ART BETWEEN the 1920S and 1940S
    Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics 14 (2): 44–66 DOI: 10.2478/jef-2020-0015 THE DEVELOPMENT OF BANDURA MUSIC ART BETWEEN THE 1920s A N D 1940s MARYNA BEREZUTSKA Associate professor Department of Folk Instruments M. Glinka Dnipropetrovsk Academy of Music Lyvarna street 10, 49044 Dnipro, Ukraine e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Bandura art is a unique phenomenon of Ukrainian culture, inextricably linked with the history of the Ukrainian people. The study is dedicated to one of the most tragic periods in the history of bandura art, that of the 1920s–1940s, during which the Bolsheviks were creating, expanding and strengthening the Soviet Union. Art in a multinational state at this time was supposed to be national by form and socialist by content in accordance with the concept of Bolshevik cultural policy; it also had to serve Soviet propaganda. Bandura art has always been national by its content, and professional by its form, so conflict was inevitable. The Bolsheviks embodied their cultural policy through administrative and power methods: they created numerous bandurist ensembles and imposed a repertoire that glorified the Communist Party and the Soviet system. As a result, the development of bandura art stagnated significantly, although it did not die completely. At the same time, in the post-war years this policy provoked the emigration of many professional bandurists to the USA and Canada, thus promoting the active spread of bandura art in the Ukrainian Diaspora. KEYWORDS: bandura art • bandurists • kobzars INTRODUCTION The bandura is a unique Ukrainian folk instrument whose history is closely connected with the Ukrainian nation’s history.

  • Deploying Musical Narratives of Internal Others in Soviet and Post-Soviet Ukraine
    “THEY BELIEVE THE DAWN WILL COME”: DEPLOYING MUSICAL NARRATIVES OF INTERNAL OTHERS IN SOVIET AND POST-SOVIET UKRAINE Melissa Bialecki A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2017 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Sidra Lawrence © 2017 Melissa Bialecki All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor This thesis explores the roles of internal others in constructing a Soviet and post-Soviet Ukrainian national identity. I begin with an analysis of the kobzars—a group of blind, itinerant minstrels who performed across Ukraine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before they disappeared entirely during Stalin’s Great Terror in the 1930s. First, I explore the ways in which the Ukrainian bandura, an asymmetrical lute instrument, has become a site for documenting epistemologies of blind musicians in Ukraine. I then examine how these ways of knowing blindness have been influenced by myths of blind musicians in Ukraine that seek to demystify these internal “others.” Furthermore, I discuss how these myths continue to influence 21st century depictions of blind minstrels through an analysis of the 2014 Ukrainian film, The Guide. Finally, I turn my focus to the Eurovision Song Contest in order to examine how narratives of internal others are deployed in order to negotiate Ukraine’s position in 21st century Europe and in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. I then reflect on the ways in which deploying these narratives of internal others does not draw these groups into the mainstream, but instead emphasizes and exploits their difference for the purpose of rejecting external hegemony in Ukraine.

  • The Black Council
    Electronic Library of Ukrainian Literature Panteleimon Kulish The Black Council Abridged and translated from Ukrainian by George S. N. and Moira Luckyj 1 Late in the spring of 1663 two travelers mounted on good horses were approaching Kyiv from the direction of Bilhorod. One was a young Cossack, armed for battle; the other, by his dress and white beard, appeared to be a priest, but by the long sword under his cassock, the pistols at his belt and the long scars on his face, looked like an old Cossack. Their horses were tired, their clothes covered with dust—they had obviously traveled a long way. Two or three versts from Kyiv they turned left and trotted through a grove of trees along a winding track. Whoever saw them turn that way must have guessed at once where they were going. The winding track led to Khmaryshche, the khutir of Cherevan, one of the wealthy, high-living Cossacks who had grown rich during the ten-year war against the Poles. For about ten years Bohdan Khmelnytsky raided the mighty Poles with his Cossacks. That was when Cherevan grabbed his immense wealth and, after the war, settled down on a khutir near Kyiv. Evening was approaching. The sun was no longer hot; it was a joy to see it shimmering through the leafy branches, gleaming on the mossy oak trees and the young grass. Birds were singing and calling joyfully in the grove and the earth around was smiling. Yet the travelers were sad. They seemed unlikely guests of the merry Cherevan.

  • Pavlo Zaitsev
    PAVLO ZAITSEV Translated and edited by GEORGE S.N. LUCKYJ Taras Shevchenko A LI FE PAVLO ZAITSEV Translated and edited by George S.N. Luckyj Taras Shevchenko is undoubtedly Ukraine's greatest literary genius and national hero. His extraordinary life-story is recounted in this classic work by Pavlo Zaitsev. Born in 1814, the son of a poor serf, Shevchenko succeeded in winning his freedom and became an art student in St Petersburg. In 1847 he was arrested for writing revolutionary poetry, forced into the army, and exiled to deserted outposts of the Russian empire to undergo an incredible odys­ sey of misery for ten years. Zaitsev's re­ counting of Shevchenko's ordeal is a moving portrait of a man able not only to survive extreme suffering but to transform it into poetry that articulated the aspirations of his enslaved nation. To this day Ukrainians observe a national day of mourning each year on the anniversary of Shevchenko's death. Zaitsev's biography has long been recog­ nized by scholars as defmitive. Originally written and typeset in the 1930s, the manuscript was confiscated fro m Zaitsev by Soviet authori- ties when they annexed Galicia in 1939. The author still had proofs, however, which he revised and published in Munich in 1955. George luckyj's translation, the first in English, now offers this indispensable biography to a new audience. CEORCE S . N. LUCKYJ is Professor Emeritus of Slavic Studies, University of Toronto. He is the author of Literary Politics in tire Soviet Ukraine and Between Gogol and Shevclre11ko, and editor of Shm:henko and the Critics.
