12 the Return of the Ukrainian Far Right the Case of VO Svoboda
12 The Return of the Ukrainian Far Right The Case of VO Svoboda Per Anders Rudling Ukraine, one of the youngest states in Europe, received its current borders between 1939 and 1954. The country remains divided between east and west, a division that is discernible in language, culture, religion and, not the least, historical memory. Whereas Ukrainian nationalism in the 1990s was described in terms of “a minority faith,” over the past half-decade there has been a signifi cant upswing in far-right activity (Wilson, 1997: 117–146). The far-right tradition is particularly strong in western Ukraine. Today a signifi cant ultra-nationalist party, the All-Ukrainian Association ( Vseukrains’ke Ob ’’ iednanne , VO) Svoboda, appears to be on the verge of a political breakthrough at the national level. This article is a survey, not only of its ideology and the political tradition to which it belongs but also of the political climate which facilitated its growth. It contextualizes the current turn to the right in western Ukraine against the backdrop of instrumental- ization of history and the offi cial rehabilitation of the ultra-nationalists of the 1930s and 1940s. MEMORIES OF A VIOLENT 20TH CENTURY Swept to power by the Orange Revolution, the third president of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko (2005–2010), put in substantial efforts into the pro- duction of historical myths. He tasked a set of nationalistically minded historians to produce and disseminate an edifying national history as well as a new set of national heroes. Given Yushchenko’s aim to unify the country around a new set of historical myths, his legitimizing historians ironically sought their heroes in the interwar period, during which the Ukrainian-speaking lands were divided, and had very different historical experiences. -

In its brief history, MAG has conducted competitions for research and for travel grants, and has published the Internet magazine, TheBridge-MOCT (thebridge- moct.org). About UCU The Ukrainian Catholic University is an open academic community and a private institution for education and research, living the Eastern Christian tradition and forming leaders to serve with professional excellence in Ukraine and internationally.

Poles and Jews: the Quest for Self-Determination 1919- 1934
Poles and Jews: The Quest For Self-Determination 1919- 1934 By Feigue Cieplinski Poland became an independent nation against all odds in the interwar period and retained her sovereignty from 1919 to 1939; hence the concept “interwar Poland.” The vicissitudes of her existence earned her the name of “God’s Playground.” [1] The Jews within her borders shared her history since 1240 C.E. Their freedoms during this period, unequaled in other places of Western Europe, earned Poland the Biblical allusion of “New Canaan.” [2] In contrast, some scholars have described Poland’s Jewry in the interwar Republic as being “On the Edge Of Destruction.” [3] That Polish Jewry was in distress is attested by the urgent visit of Mr. Neville Laski, a member of the British Joint Foreign Committee closely associated with the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and the Joint Distribution Committee, in 1934. [4] His August visit fell between two historical events framing Polish Jewry’s status: seven months before, in January of that year, Poland and Germany signed a bilateral non- aggression declaration and in September Colonel Josef Beck, as Foreign Minister, announced in Geneva, his country’s unilateral abrogation of the Minorities Treaty in force since 1919. The scholars listed below have studied separately either the birth of Poland and the imposition of the Minorities Protection Treaty, the rapprochement between Poland and Germany, or the situation of the Jews in Poland. However, they have paid scant attention to the nexus between the rise of Hitler, the rapprochement between Poland and Germany, the demise of the Minorities Protection Treaty, and the consequent worsening situation of Polish Jewry. -

The “Mysterious” Kazlauskas: Exploring Lithuania’S Most Frequent Surname
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17651/ONOMAST.60.12 JUSTYNA B. WALKOWIAK Onomastica LX, 2016 Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza PL ISSN 0078-4648 w Poznaniu e-mail: [email protected] THE “MYSTERIOUS” KAZLAUSKAS: EXPLORING LITHUANIA’S MOST FREQUENT SURNAME K e y w o r d s: surname frequency, Lithuanian surnames, surname loss, genetic drift INTRODUCTION The title of the present article constitutes a deliberate reference to the 2000 article “Tajemniczy Lewandowski: O etymologiach onomastycznych” [The mysterious Lewandowski: Onomastic etymologies] by K. Skowronek (2000), in which an at- tempt was made to account on historical and etymological grounds for the ex- tremely high popularity of that seemingly unimposing surname in Poland. The surname, nevertheless, remained a mystery. In what follows, the Lithuanian sur- name Kazlauskas will be considered with a somewhat similar objective in mind. Kazlauskas1 is unquestionably a Lithuanian cognate of Kozłowski, a fact which raises a number of questions regarding the exact nature of their mutual relationship. It has been topping surname frequency lists in Lithuania for many years now, with 13008 bearers (Kazlauskas 7710, Kazlauskienė 2232, Kazlauskaitė 3066) in the year 20142, yielding the percentage of 0.37 in the total population of Lithuania3. The surname in question is, beyond any doubt, of Slavic (most likely Polish) origin as are nearly two thirds of surnames in contemporary Lithuania. This alone makes it different from Lewandowski, whose etymology remains uncertain, despite a number of likely explanations. In K. Skowronek’s (2000) article the implicit question permeating the whole discussion was: why should there be (of all the 1 Lithuanian surnames have different male and female forms, and the latter are traditionally di- vided into maritonymics that end with -ienė (e.g. -

First and foremost, I would like to thank my committee members for the countless hours spent discussing sources and instructing me in Russian and Ukrainian. I would also like to thank the people who helped direct my research at various institutions. Vadim Altskan, the program coordinator for the International Archival Division in the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. bantered with me in Ukrainian and loaned me his copy of Shmuel Spector’s The Holocaust of Volhynian Jews, 1941-1944. Not an ideal “bed time story,” but vital for this thesis.
