    Moklak Jaroslav, Jagellonian University, Poland THE STRUGGLE FOR THE UKRAINIAN UNIVERSITY IN LVIV THE ITALIAN AND SOUTH SLAVIC CONTEXT (1908 – 1914) At the beginning of the twentieth century all the nations of the Habsburg monarchy fought for the possession of their own university, e.g. Czechs in Brno, Italians in Trieste, Slovenes in Ljubljana, Ukrainians in Lviv. Among the most active Ukrainian politicians in this struggle were Stanislav Dnistriansky, Oleksandr Kolessa and Kost Levytsky. This postulate, they many times reported in the Galician Diet and in the parliament of Vienna. Vienna government recognized the demands of all nations, but not all nations treated equally. Riots university in Vienna in the harsh light revealed the need to resolve disputes nationality. January 20, 1909, the State Council met, putting the main objective to solve the most ethnic dispute - Czech-German. The government then filed a draft law on the creation of a legal department with the Italian instruction in Vienna. Meanwhile, deputies Stanislav Dnistriansky and Oleksandr Kołessa reported January 21, 1909 a joint proposal for the establishment of a separate Ukrainian university in Lviv. In the spring of 1910, Prime Minister Richard Bienerth wanted to create an Italian law department in Trieste and he needed to support the Ukrainian Club in parliament. Ukrainians demanded own university, based on iunctum. Using this structure meant no consent to implement a settlement agreement without simultaneous another one (or several others) and it was used in the legislative process as a form of political pressure on the government. Ukrainian politicians announced iunctum to government projects aimed at creating an Italian University of Trieste.

A slightly condensed version of the German- language Die Ukraine zwischen Selbstbestimmung und Fremdherrschaft 1917– 1922 (Graz, 2011), this book provides, on the one hand, a systematic outline of events in Ukraine during one of the most complex periods of twentieth- century European history, when the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires collapsed at the end of the Great War and new independent nation-states OF emerged in Central and Eastern Europe. On the other hand, several chapters of this book provide detailed studies of specifi c aspects of the occupation of Ukraine by German and Austro-Hungarian troops following the Treaty of UKRAINE Brest-Litovsk, signed on 9 February 1918 between the Central Powers and the Ukrainian People’s Republic.

  • Broadcasts by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, 1938–1939
    Radio Vienna: Broadcasts by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, 1938–1939 Author: Myroslav Shkandrij Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 2 (2015): 121–136 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmhj.ukma.edu.ua/ Radio Vienna: Broadcasts by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, 1938–1939 Myroslav Shkandrij University of Manitoba, Department of German and Slavic Studies Abstract Surviving transcripts of radio broadcasts made by the OUN in 1938 and 1939 defend the Ukrainian right to an independent state and support the formation of Carpatho-Ukraine as the first step towards achieving this goal. At the same time they praise Germany for the new situation created in the wake of the Munich Agreement. The broadcasts were allowed by Germany as part of its strategy to destabilize Czechoslovakia and Poland. The strong anti-Jewish line taken by the OUN in the first months of broadcasting was likely the required payment for being allowed to broadcast. The broadcasts stopped criticizing the Soviet Union when the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed. Key Words: Nationalism, OUN, Ukraine, interwar, Carpatho-Ukraine, Germany, Poland. 3 The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) made radio broadcasts almost on a daily basis from Vienna and Bratislava from 29 September 1938 to 22 September 1939. The transmissions focused on the Ukrainian case for self-determination and statehood, a topic that was widely discussed in the European and North American press at the time, in the wake of the Munich agreement that forced Czechoslovakia to cede territory to Germany and to establish both a Slovakian and a Carpatho-Ukrainian state .1 The transcripts of these broadcasts have survived .2 This article examines their ideological message in the political context of the late thirties.

  • Galician Villagers and the Ukrainian National Movement in the Nineteenth Century Digitized by the Internet Archive
    GALICIAN VILLAGERS AND THE UKRAINIAN NATIONAL MOVEMENT IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY JOHN-PAUL HIMKA This first case-study of how the East European peasantry was drawn into national politics focuses on the Ukrainians of Galicia, 1772-1914. From first-hand testimony by peasants and rural notables, it demonstrates that the peasants’ political consciousness was forged by serfdom, and reforms initiated by the state and the penetration of a money economy. The book breaks new ground on related issues, including the connection between class and national consciousness, the reasons for a sharp exacerbation of the peasantry’s antagonism towards Jews, the new role of generational differences in the village and the place of rural women in the national movement.

  • The Hrushevsky Legend in the Soviet Union 1934 to the Present I 274
    MYKHAILO HRUSHEVSKY THE POLITICS OF NATIONAL CULTURE Ukraine's foremost historian and one of its most prominent national leaders, M ykhailo Hrushevsky was at the tum of the century a leading figure in the transformation of the Ukrainian national revival into a major political movement. His pivotal role in Ukraine's drive toward national autonomy earned him both the admiration of his countrymen and the vilification of his critics. The first scholarly biography of Hrushevsky, Thomas Prymak's study focuses on three major periods in the historian's life and in Ukraine's modem history. The first, from 1894 to 1917, was one of intensive scholarly and community activity for Hrushevsky and the advancement of his notion of federalism. The second, from 1917 to 1924, features Hrushevsky in the principal role in the Ukrainian revolution, and ends with his promotion of the Ukrainian cause abroad. The third period deals with his controversial return home to Soviet Ukraine, his uneasy yet productive relations with the regime whose ideology he steadfastly refused to endorse, and his mysterious death in 1934. Hrushevsky is still a target of attacks by the Soviet government. This biog­ raphy presents a balanced and judicious evaluation of a figure who remains a villain in the eyes of the Kremlin and a hero to Ukrainian emigres.
