The country is gradually developing the capacity of its state institutions and civil society to address the political and social consequences of Russian aggression. • Russia’s three main levers of influence in Ukraine include the ongoing armed conflict, corruption, and the poor quality of the political sphere. The Kremlin seeks to exploit these vulnerabilities to promote polarization and encourage a clash between Ukraine’s citizens and its governing elite by taking military action, manipulating the corruption narrative, supporting pro-Russia parties, and fuelling religious tensions through the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). • The ramifications of the military operation in Donbas reverberate strongly across the country and domestic politics. The most prominent spillover effects include the circulation of firearms and the weakened capacity of authorities to reintegrate internally displaced people (IDPs) and war veterans. • With no clear way to end the armed conflict, there is a growing risk of societal polarization. This could have negative consequences for any prospective peace agreement.

In the post-Soviet period, since the late 80s and early 90s, a number of composers have explored new directions in creative styles thanks to new political and cultural freedoms. This study focuses on Valentyn Silvestrov’s unique Sonata for Violin and Piano “Post Scriptum” (1990), investigating its musical details and their meaning in its post- Soviet compositional context. The purpose is to contribute to a broader overview of Ukraine’s classical music tradition, especially as it relates to national identity and the ii current cultural and political state of the country.

THE DEVELOPMENT of BANDURA MUSIC ART BETWEEN the 1920S and 1940S
Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics 14 (2): 44–66 DOI: 10.2478/jef-2020-0015 THE DEVELOPMENT OF BANDURA MUSIC ART BETWEEN THE 1920s A N D 1940s MARYNA BEREZUTSKA Associate professor Department of Folk Instruments M. Glinka Dnipropetrovsk Academy of Music Lyvarna street 10, 49044 Dnipro, Ukraine e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Bandura art is a unique phenomenon of Ukrainian culture, inextricably linked with the history of the Ukrainian people. The study is dedicated to one of the most tragic periods in the history of bandura art, that of the 1920s–1940s, during which the Bolsheviks were creating, expanding and strengthening the Soviet Union. Art in a multinational state at this time was supposed to be national by form and socialist by content in accordance with the concept of Bolshevik cultural policy; it also had to serve Soviet propaganda. Bandura art has always been national by its content, and professional by its form, so conflict was inevitable. The Bolsheviks embodied their cultural policy through administrative and power methods: they created numerous bandurist ensembles and imposed a repertoire that glorified the Communist Party and the Soviet system. As a result, the development of bandura art stagnated significantly, although it did not die completely. At the same time, in the post-war years this policy provoked the emigration of many professional bandurists to the USA and Canada, thus promoting the active spread of bandura art in the Ukrainian Diaspora. KEYWORDS: bandura art • bandurists • kobzars INTRODUCTION The bandura is a unique Ukrainian folk instrument whose history is closely connected with the Ukrainian nation’s history.

Becoming Soviet: Lost Cultural Alternatives In
BECOMING SOVIET: LOST CULTURAL ALTERNATIVES IN UKRAINE, 1917-1933 Olena Palko, MA, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History December 2016© ‘This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition any quotation or extract must include full attribution.’ Abstract This doctoral thesis investigates the complex and multi-faceted process of the cultural sovietisation of Ukraine. The study argues that different political and cultural projects of a Soviet Ukraine were put to the test during the 1920s. These projects were developed and executed by representatives of two ideological factions within the Communist Party of Bolsheviks of Ukraine: one originating in the pre-war Ukrainian socialist and communist movements, and another with a clear centripetal orientation towards Moscow. The representatives of these two ideological horizons endorsed different approaches to defining Soviet culture. The unified Soviet canon in Ukraine was an amalgamation of at least two different Soviet cultural projects: Soviet Ukrainian culture and Soviet culture in the Ukrainian language. These two visions of Soviet culture are examined through a biographical study of two literary protagonists: the Ukrainian poet Pavlo Tychyna (1891-1967) and the writer Mykola Khvyl'ovyi (1893-1933). Overall, three equally important components, contributing to Ukraine’s sovietisation, are discussed: the power struggle among the Ukrainian communist elites; the manipulation of the tastes and expectations of the audience; and the ideological and aesthetic evolution of Ukraine’s writers in view of the first two components.

Oliver Nelson E Le Variazioni Sul Blues
1 Angelo Peli ‘The Blues and the Abstract Truth’: Oliver Nelson e le variazioni sul Blues Esplorazioni nei territori di confine tra Hard Bop, Soul Jazz e Avant-Garde 2 INTRODUZIONE Oliver Nelson (1932, St.Louis – 1975, Los Angeles), polistrumentista, arrangiatore, compositore e didatta tra i più preparati e prolifici della storia del jazz, si è espresso in ogni campo con grande personalità ed originalità, sostenuto da una dedizione alla professione spinta ai limiti dell’umana resistenza. Nei caotici fermenti degli anni ’60 Nelson si è distinto per l’autonomia di pensiero e azione: la sua arte non risulta omologabile ad una particolare corrente musicale, così come le sue idee ed esternazioni riguardo la condizione dei neri afro-americani rappresentano interessanti testimonianze fuori dal coro degli artisti-militanti in voga in quegli anni. Come molti musicisti afro-americani prima e dopo di lui, Nelson ha intrapreso la carriera jazzistica più per necessità che per vocazione, vedendosi preclusa ogni possibilità nell’ambito della musica ‘colta’ a causa del colore della pelle; il Blues, da lui indicato con slancio poetico e orgoglio di razza come la Verità Assoluta (The Abstract Truth), è stato il suo costante punto di riferimento e la sua inesauribile fonte di ispirazione. Ringraziamo sentitamente il Dr. Wolfram Knauer, direttore del Jazzinstitut di Darmstad, senza la cui squisita disponibilità questo lavoro monografico, primo in Europa a quanto ci è dato sapere, non sarebbe stato possibile. A.P. 3 PREMESSA Termini come hard bop, soul jazz e avant-garde, entrati di prepotenza nel vocabolario jazzistico a partire dalla seconda metà degli anni ’50, sembrano contrassegnare inconciliabili fazioni contrapposte, regioni geografiche collocate agli antipodi.
