Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine at the Time of the Great Purge1
ARTICLES Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine 8 Mečislav BORÁK at the Time of the Great Purge Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine at the Time of the Great Purge1 prof. Mečislav BORÁK Abstract In its introduction, the study recalls the course of Czech emigration to Ukraine and the formation of the local Czech minority from the mid-19th century until the end of 1930s. Afterwards, it depicts the course of political persecution of the Czechs from the civil war to the mid-1930s and mentions the changes in Soviet national policy. It characterizes the course of the Great Purge in the years 1937–1938 on a national scale and its particularities in Ukraine, describes the genesis of the repressive mechanisms and their activities. In this context, it is focused on the NKVD’s national operations and the repression of the Czechs assigned to the Polish NKVD operation in the early spring of 1938. It analyses the illegal executions of more than 660 victims, which was roughly half of all Czechs and Czechoslovak citizens executed for political reasons in the former Soviet Union, both from time and territorial point of view, including the national or social-professional structure of the executed, roughly compared to Moscow. The general conclusions are illustrated on examples of repressive actions and their victims from the Kiev region, especially from Kiev, and Mykolajivka community, not far from the centre of the Vinnycko area, the most famous centre of Czech colonization in eastern Podolia. In detail, it analyses the most repressive action against the Czechs in Ukraine which took place in Zhytomyr where on 28 September 1938, eighty alleged conspirators were shot dead, including seventy-eight Czechs. -
The Northern Black Sea Region in Classical Antiquity 4
The Northern Black Sea Region by Kerstin Susanne Jobst In historical studies, the Black Sea region is viewed as a separate historical region which has been shaped in particular by vast migration and acculturation processes. Another prominent feature of the region's history is the great diversity of religions and cultures which existed there up to the 20th century. The region is understood as a complex interwoven entity. This article focuses on the northern Black Sea region, which in the present day is primarily inhabited by Slavic people. Most of this region currently belongs to Ukraine, which has been an independent state since 1991. It consists primarily of the former imperial Russian administrative province of Novorossiia (not including Bessarabia, which for a time was administered as part of Novorossiia) and the Crimean Peninsula, including the adjoining areas to the north. The article also discusses how the region, which has been inhabited by Scythians, Sarmatians, Greeks, Romans, Goths, Huns, Khazars, Italians, Tatars, East Slavs and others, fitted into broader geographical and political contexts.

Kholodny Institute of Botany, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 2 Tereschenkivska Str., Kyiv 01004, Ukraine [email protected] Mosyakin S.L., Shiyan N.M. 2019. Nomenclatural and taxonomic notes on Jacobaea borysthenica (Asteraceae) and some related taxa. Ukrainian Botanical Journal, 76(6): 473–485. Abstract. Following our recent lectotypification (with a specimen from G-DC) of the name Senecio praealtus Bertol. var. borysthenicus DC. validated by de Candolle based on Andrzejowski's and Besser's specimens from Ukraine, we provide here information on additional original specimens of that taxon (KW: Besser and Turczaninow historical collections), which is now recognized as Jacobaea borysthenica (DC.) B.Nord. & Greuter and which was until recently widely accepted as Senecio borysthenicus (DC.) Andrz. ex Czern. (Asteraceae). In particular, there are two isolectotypes in KW collected by Andrzejowski near Kyslyakivka (now Lymany, Mykolayiv Region, Ukraine), as well as some other specimens collected near Zaporizhzhya (Andrzejowski) and in southern Podolia (Besser and/or Andrzejowski). Some related Eastern European taxa of the taxonomically complicated Jacobaea vulgaris Gaertn. (= Senecio jacobaea L.) aggregate and misapplied names are discussed as well. The identity of the name Senecio divaricatus Andrz. (nom. illeg., non L.) is clarified; it is a synonym of Jacobaea borysthenica. It is also confirmed that Senecio podolianus Panigrahi is an illegitimate replacement name for S. borysthenicus. Jacobaea borysthenica seems to be closely related to J. andrzejowskyi (Tzvelev) B.Nord. & Greuter and J. -

Kharkiv, EWJUS, Vol. 7, No. 1, 2020
Borderland City: Kharkiv Volodymyr Kravchenko University of Alberta Translated from Ukrainian by Marta Olynyk1 Abstract: The article attempts to identify Kharkiv’s place on the mental map of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, and traces the changing image of the city in Ukrainian and Russian narratives up to the end of the twentieth century. The author explores the role of Kharkiv in the symbolic reconfiguration of the Ukrainian-Russian borderland and describes how the interplay of imperial, national, and local contexts left an imprint on the city’s symbolic space. Keywords: Kharkiv, city, region, image, Ukraine, Russia, borderland. harkiv is the second largest city in Ukraine after Kyiv. Once (1920-34), K it even managed to replace the latter in its role of the capital of Ukraine. Having lost its metropolitan status, Kharkiv is now an important transport hub and a modern megapolis that boasts a greater number of universities and colleges than any other city in Ukraine. Strategically located on the route from Moscow to the Crimea, Kharkiv became the most influential component of the historical Ukrainian-Russian borderland, which has been a subject of symbolic and political reconfiguration and reinterpretation since the middle of the seventeenth century. These aspects of the city’s history have attracted the attention of numerous scholars (Bagalei and Miller; Iarmysh et al.; Masliichuk). Recent methodological “turns” in the humanities and social sciences shifted the focus of urban studies from the social reality to the city as an imagined social construct and to urban mythology and identity (Arnold; Emden et al.; Low; Nilsson; Westwood and Williams). -
Crimea—The Ukrainian Point of View. History and the Present Time
ISSN 2082–0860 Vol. II (2011/1) pp. 135-154 Grzegorz Skrukwa Uniwersity of Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań Crimea—the Ukrainian Point of View. History and the Present Time rimea is undoubtedly the most distinct and specific region of present day CUkraine, enjoying a special administrative status—that of an autonomic republic (Autonomous Republic Crimea, ARK). It is an area rife with conflict, with waxing and waning separatist tendencies. The first attempt to incorporate Crimea into the Ukrainian statehood took place in 1918—at the same time when the questions arose, of the independence of Ukraine, of Crimea remaining part of it, and of borders between states after the revolution and the break-up of the Russian Empire. The programme of the Central Council of Ukraine did not provide for the incorporation of Crimea into the Ukrainian People’s Republic (UPR), whose borders were drafted based on the ethnographic and linguistic criterion. In December 1917, Crimean Tatars proclaimed the Crimean People’s Republic, abolished by the Bolsheviks and replaced with the Taurida Soviet Socialist Republic. In April 1918, UPR forces entered Crimea to seize Sevastopol and the Black Sea Fleet—the so-called Col. Petro Bolbochan’s Crimean raid— under German pressure, however, the Ukrainian troops were withdrawn. A dilemma presented itself then, characteristic of the Ukrainians’ present perspective on Crimean questions: How to treat Crimea and the Tatars? Most officers of the UPR army were socialists and narodniks who did not consider Crimea to be “Ukrainian ethnographic territory.” Thus on one hand, they tried to explain the reasons of the Crimean raid to their soldiers by the necessity to claim the Black Sea Fleet ships for Ukraine and by referring to the raids of Zaporozhian Cossacks who liberated Ukrainian men and women from Tatar captivity. -

Understanding the Narratives Explaining the Ukrainian Crisis
ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, EUROPEAN AND REGIONAL STUDIES, 11 (2017) 63–96 DOI: 10.1515/auseur-2017-0004 Understanding the Narratives Explaining the Ukrainian Crisis: Identity Divisions and Complex Diversity in Ukraine1 Lodewijk SMOOR Department of European Studies University of Amsterdam lsmoor@hotmail .com Abstract. The central argument of this paper is that radical and opposing interpretations of the Ukrainian conflict in politics and media should be studied as offspring of broader narratives . These narratives can be better understood by examining the national identity of Ukraine . Since Ukrainian national identity shows a high degree of diversity, it offers a rich source of arguments for any party wanting to give an interpretation of the present Ukrainian crisis . Narratives explaining the crisis often ignore this complex diversity or deliberately use elements from it to construct the ‘desired’ narrative . Firstly, this paper defines four overarching narratives used in the current debate: the geopolitical, the nationalist, the structuralist, and the legal narrative. Secondly, this paper shows how various interpretations fitting within these narratives are all one way or another related to the divisions dividing Ukraine’s complex national identity . Examining the underlying divisions helps to explain the appeal of differing interpretations of the conflict in the West, Ukraine, and Russia. Especially the nationalist narrative and geopolitical narratives show how the complexity of Ukraine’s national identity is deliberately used to construct a narrative . The combined study of constructed narratives and Ukrainian national identity thus provides valuable material for any scholar or policymaker looking for a deeper understanding of the situation in Ukraine amidst a confusing information war .
