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.

  • Užmirštieji Muzikos Instrumentai: Dūdmaišis Ir Lietuva
    NAUJI ETNOMUZIKOLOGINIAI TYRIMAI Užmirštieji muzikos instrumentai: dūdmaišis ir Lietuva RŪTA ŽARSKIENĖ Lietuvių literatūros ir tautosakos institutas ANOTACIJA. Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas dūdmaišis – muzikos instrumentas, ypač aktyviai naudotas vėlyvaisiais viduramžiais ir Renesanso laikotarpiu, ko gero, visose Europos šalyse palikęs neišdildomų pėdsakų jų liaudies kultūroje ir išnykęs XIX–XX a. pradžioje. Nuo XVI a., o galbūt ir anksčiau, jis karaliavo ir Lietuvos muzikiniame gyvenime, tačiau iki šiol buvo nepelnytai mokslininkų užmirštas. Šis straipsnis – bandymas pažvelgti į šį instrumentą kompleksiškai, atsigręžti į jo ilgaamžę paplitimo ir raidos istoriją, gyvavimą kituose kraštuose, palyginant panašius reiškinius ir rekonstruojant jo naudojimą kaimo papročiuose, taip pat išnagrinėti repertuaro ir atlikimo stiliaus savitumus, dūdmaišio įtaką lietuvių etninei kultūrai. Tyrimo, atlikto pasitelkiant istorinį lyginamąjį, tipologinį, analizės metodus, išvados rodo, kad Lietuvoje dūdmaišis, prieš įsigalint smuikui, kitiems styginiams, o vėliau ir dumpliniams instrumentams, buvo pagrindinis, kai kur net vienintelis vestuvių, krikštynų, kitų svarbių apeigų ir kaimo pasilinksminimų instrumentas. Jis buvo paplitęs visoje teritorijoje, tačiau XIX a. pabaigoje–XX a. pradžioje išliko tik rytiniame šalies pakraštyje. Specifinis atlikimo dūdmaišiu būdas, ypač burdoninis ūko pritarimas, įspaudė ryškų pėdsaką (buvo suformavęs savitą muzikinį stilių) tiek instrumentinėje, tiek vokalinėje lietuvių liaudies muzikoje.
