The event is the first step towards establishing Ostrih as an important educational center and restoring its 16th century rep­ utation as the "Volhynian Athens." The collegium identifies itself with the traditions of the Ostrih Academy, the cradle of Ukrainian learning and culture in the modem period. The Ostrih Academy was founded in 1576 by Prince Konstantyn Ostrozky to serve as a bastion of Ukrainian Orthodoxy. A circle of scholars such as Herasym Smotrytsky, Cyril Lucaris and Jan Latos was gathered by Prince Ostrozky to revise liturgical books, write polemical tracts in defense of the Orthodox faith, produce an improved version of the Bible, known as the Ostrih Bible (1581), and educate an intellectual elite of a European standard. Most of the works prepared by these scholars were published in Ostrih, at the printing press established by Ivan Fedorovych in 1578. Among the academy's graduates were political leaders such as Hetman Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachny, illustrious scholars such as Meletiy Smotrytsky, and poets such as Damian Nalyvaiko. As Ostrih's educational role diminished after Prince Ostrozky's death, its traditions were continued by the Kyyiv-Mohyla Collegium.

  • Contemporary Nationalism in Ukraine: Why We
    Contemporary Nationalism in Ukraine: Why we need a Broader Analytical Framework Taras Kuzio Center for Transatlantic Relations, School of Advanced International Relations, Johns Hopkins University, Washington DC ‘Russian and Ukrainian Nationalism: Entangled Histories.’ A Harriman Institute Workshop, Columbia University, 22 and 23 April 2013 This paper puts forward the proposal that nationalism in Ukraine should be investigated in a broader context than is traditionally undertaken by scholars who focus on one region (Western Ukraine) and one element (ethnic Ukrainian nationalism). This paper is divided into three sections. The first section surveys the phenomena of racism, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism in Ukraine. The second section analyses the failure of the émigré OUNb (Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, Stepan Bandera wing) to establish its political force in Ukraine compared with the success of the Svoboda (Freedom) political party. The third section analyses Russian and Soviet nationalism in Ukraine. Skinheads and Nazi parties and movements are included in my analysis of Russian and Soviet Nationalism because they do not espouse ethnic Ukrainian nationalist ideologies but instead propagate eclectic combinations of Ukrainian state nationalism, anti- Americanism and pan-Slavism. Racism, Xenophobia, and Anti-Semitism in Ukraine Racism Racist crimes in Ukraine against foreigners, migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, and Roma are rarely prosecuted and when they are they usually fall under the rubric of ‘hooliganism’ which leads to minor criminal charges. Racist and anti- Semitic crimes in Ukraine go unreported because of very low levels of public trust in the police1 and courts and fear of police racism and brutality. Racial profiling and individual targeting of identity checks in public places of immigrants and asylum seekers are commonplace which reduces confidence in the police and leads to under- reporting of racist attacks.
