Journal of Ukrainian Studies 28, no. 1 (Summer 2003) Ukraiman Immigration from the Russian Empire to Canada: A Reappraisal Vadim Kukushkin Early twentieth-century Ukrainian immigration from the Russian Empire has largely remained outside the “grand narrative” of Ukrainian-Canadian history. Among dozens of works on Ukrainian immigrants in pre-1914 and interwar Canada, there is only one devoted specifically to Eastern (Russian-ruled) Ukrainians, and a few others mention them in passing.^ Many historians have taken it for granted that the restrictive policies of the tsarist state and the pull of Siberian lands kept Ukrainians in tsarist Russia from emigrating and that the few who left were either political exiles or religious dissenters such as Baptists.^ 1 . Oksana Leshchenko, Early Immigration from Eastern Ukraine to Canada: Back- ground and Significance (M. A. thesis. University of Waterloo, 1992). A dated but still irreplaceable source on the early Eastern Ukrainian presence in Canada is Grigorii Okulevich, Russkie v Kanade: Istoriia russkikh raboche-fermerskikh klubov imeni M. Gorkogo (1930-1940) i Federatsii russkikh kanadtsev (1941-1952) (Toronto: Federation of Russian Canadians, 1952). 2. See, for instance: Orest T. Martynowych, Ukrainians in Canada: The Formative Period, 1891-1924 (Edmonton: Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies Press, 1991), 4; Oleh W. Gems and James Edgar Rea, The Ukrainians in Canada (Ottawa: Canadian Historical Association, 1985), 5; Michael Mamnchak, The Ukrainian Canadians: A History (Winnipeg: Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences, 1970), 22. Other studies mention only Eastern Ukrainian immigrants of the Baptist faith, who made up a relatively small proportion of the migrant stream.
