At that time it was commonly believed that the fall of the Iron Curtain would encourage the historians of Eastern and Central Europe to embark on scientific cooperation and facilitate a dialogue that would lead to creation common characteristics, evaluations, concepts and interpretations. The analyses that were carried out – along with a broader methodological-historiographic reflection on numerous thematic fields – led to the articulation of new topics, the multiplication of the scope of research enquiries, and the liberalization of accessible narrative forms. ‘New’ methodologies of classic/non-classic historiographies, reinterpretations of national/confessional historiosophies had another consequence. Namely, they developed an urge to search for their intentional/unintentional authors. As a result, the ‘new’ historical reflection was interdisciplinary, international, trans-religious and open to ‘diversity’. However, today’s academic disputes resemble presentations rather than discourse. Despite of a great number of international societies, textbook boards, interdisciplinary conferences, conventions and ‘round tables,’ scientists seldom work out common historical views that would be accepted by all. It seems worthwhile then considering the reasons for these research fluctuations, the methodological context, and searching for political/ideological catalysts. The following collection of study papers Crossroads. From Rus’ to… shows the way of constituting modern nations evolving from the legacy of Kyiv Rus. The authors are looking for historical mechanisms of building up of contemporary nationalities of Central and Eastern Europe: Russians, Belarussians, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, etc.; they observe the ‘dimensions’ of the Russian society, try to understand its mentality and unique identity. At the same time, they ponder upon historiographic discourse that obligates historians, and notice that scientists of many nationalities, who may interpret the same events in different ways, may claim a historical legacy. Their different interpretations would make them claim their exclusive rights to a given legacy. Such claims are particularly visible these days, when East and Central European nationals are looking for their identity. By creating their own ‘tradition’ – making up a ‘noble’ past – they want to emphasize differences between themselves and others, and their possessive instincts ascribe to the old (politically tested) historiosophies. The following volume may hardly be a comprehensive study – it rather announces broader research. However, we do believe that at the time of 9 intensifying conflicts and fear of aggression our reflections would contribute to the intellectual discourse. The discourse, which will show us the cultural roots of modern phobias determining the existence of individual societies of Central and Eastern Europe. you are welcome to read it!

IVaN THE TERRIblE IN THE HISToRICal WRITINGS of aDaM MICKIEWICZ In the vision of the past presented by Adam Mickiewicz, the aspect of the mutual influence between the nation and chosen individuals occupies a very important place. Thus, an outstanding individual shapes the spirit of the nation, but this very individual is shaped by “the spiritual works of the community where they emerge from”1. This relation was depicted by Adam Mickiewicz who drew from the example of three tsars: Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great and Catherine the Great. Andrzej Wierzbicki described these rulers as ”dangerous and might.” They ”manifested their presence in history in an exceptional way, enlarging Russia’s territory and steering its politics in the direction of Europe”2. Therefore, the history of the nation belongs to an individual. An individual’s fate is living history, the expression of historical experiences. Mickiewicz attributed an exceptional significance to eminent individuals embodying the nation’s historical mission. The historian presented his thesis among all giving the example of Ivan the Terrible and his life3. Mickiewicz presented his image of Ivan the Terrible in his book entitled The History of Poland and during his lectures at Collège 1 E.

  • Poland – Germany – History
    Poland – Germany – History Issue: 18 /2020 26’02’21 The Polish-French Alliance of 1921 By Prof. dr hab. Stanisław Żerko Concluded in February 1921, Poland’s alliance treaty with France, which was intended to afford the former an additional level of protection against German aggression, was the centerpiece of Poland’s foreign policy during the Interwar Period. However, from Poland’s viewpoint, the alliance had all along been fraught with significant shortcomings. With the passage of time, it lost some of its significance as Paris increasingly disregarded Warsaw’s interests. This trend was epitomized by the Locarno conference of 1925, which marked the beginning of the Franco-German rapprochement. By 1933-1934, Poland began to revise its foreign policy with an eye to turning the alliance into a partnership. This effort turned out to be unsuccessful. It was not until the diplomatic crisis of 1939 that the treaty was strengthened and complemented with an Anglo-Polish alliance, which nevertheless failed to avert the German attack on Poland. Despite both France and Great Britain having declared war against the Reich on September 3, 1939, neither provided their Polish ally with due assistance. However, French support was the main factor for an outcome that was generally favorable to Poland, which was to redraw its border with Germany during the Paris peace conference in 1919. It seems that the terms imposed on the Reich in the Treaty of Versailles were all that Poland could ever have hoped to achieve given the balance of power at the time. One should bear in mind that France made a significant contribution to organizing and arming the Polish Army, especially when the Republic of Poland came under threat from Soviet Russia in the summer of 1920.

  • Belarus – the Unfulfilled Phenomena: the Prospects of Social Mobilization
    14 Jovita Pranevičiūtė* Institute of International Relations and Political Science, University of Vilnius Belarus – the Unfulfilled Phenomena: The Prospects of Social Mobilization For more than ten years Belarus has be under authoritarian rule and it has been difficult to explain this phenomenon. The rhetoric of the Belarusian elites – governing and oppositional – is analyzed as the main tool of the struggle to mobilize society for collec- tive action in the political fight. The rhetoric of the ruling elite, and also the opposition, is analyzed in three dimensions: how competing elites are talking about the glorious past; the degraded present; and the utopian future. Through collective action, the nation will reverse the conditions that have caused its present degradation and recover its original harmonious essence. The main aim of this study is to demonstrate that in short - and perhaps even in the medium-run - the Belarusian president Alexander Lukahenko will remain in power due to the successful employment of the trinomial rhetorical structure. The conclusions can be shocking meaning that the ruling elite has been able to persuade society that the glorious past has been realized in the times of Soviet Union and at the moment Belarus is living in the conditions of utopian future, i.e. future is a reality, nonetheless the short period of the opposition ruin rule in the nineties and negative actions of opposition in nowadays. While the utopian reality is based at least on the ideas of economical survival and believes that all the aims of society have been reached already, the opposition has no chance to mobilize a critical part of society to ensure the support to its own ideas and to get in to power.

    Coming Down From the Mountain: Dialect Contact and Convergence in Contemporary Hutsulshchyna By Erin Victoria Coyne A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Johanna Nichols, Chair Professor Alan Timberlake Professor Lev Michael Spring 2014 Abstract Coming Down From the Mountain: Dialect Contact and Convergence in Contemporary Hutsulshchyna by Erin Victoria Coyne Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Johanna Nichols, Chair Despite the recent increased interest in Hutsul life and culture, little attention has been paid to the role of dialect in Hutsul identity and cultural revival. The primary focus of the present dissertation is the current state of the Hutsul dialect, both in terms of social perception and the structural changes resulting from the dominance of the standard language in media and education. Currently very little is known about the contemporary grammatical structure of Hutsul. The present dissertation is the first long-term research project designed to define both key elements of synchronic Hutsul grammar, as well as diachronic change, with focus on variation and convergence in an environment of increasing close sustained contact with standard Ukrainian resulting from both a historically-based sense of ethnic identification, as well as modern economic realities facing the once isolated and self-sufficient Hutsuls. In addition, I will examine the sociolinguistic network lines which allow and impede linguistic assimilation, specifically in the situation of a minority population of high cultural valuation facing external linguistic assimilation pressures stemming from socio-political expediency.

  • (Ruthenian Or Rusyn) Language in Poland Lemkos
    The 17th Meeting of the Baltic Division of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names Warszawa, 29 June – 01 July 2015 Maciej Zych Commission on Standardization of Geographical Names Outside the Republic of Poland Romanization rules for the Lemko (Ruthenian or Rusyn) language in Poland Lemkos (Ruthenians or Rusyns) is an ethnic minority which has been recognized in Poland on the basis of the Act of 6th January 2005 on national and ethnic minorities and on the regional languages. The act mentions, in addition to the Lemkos, 9 national minorities: Belorussian, Czech, Lithuanian, German, Armenian, Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian, and Jewish; 3 ethnic minorities – Karait, Roma, and Tartar; as well as one regional language – the Kashubian language. The Act lays down, among others, that traditional names in a minority language for localities, physiographic objects and streets may be used as “additional names” alongside geographic names established in the Polish language. To date (as of 1st June 2015), additional names have been introduced in 1204 localities and parts of them located in 57 communes. There were introduced: 27 Belarusian names, 359 German names, 779 Kashubian names, 9 Lemko names, and 30 Lithuanian names. Additional names in minority languages appear on road signs, they are also used on some maps. Pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of Administration and Digitization of 14th February 2012 on the national register of geographical names, the Surveyor General of Poland shall maintain the database of the National Register of Geographical Names. In the Register, among others, officially adopted names in minority languages shall be listed.

  • Reconstructive Forgery: the Hadiach Agreement (1658) in the History of the Rus'
    Journal of Ukrainian Studies 35–36 (2010–2011) Reconstructive Forgery: The Hadiach Agreement (1658) in the History of the Rus' Serhii Plokhy Few events in Ukrainian and Polish history have provoked as many what-ifs as the agreement concluded between the Cossack hetman Ivan Vyhovsky and representa- tives of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth near the city of Hadiach in the autumn of 1658. Long before the rise of virtual and counterfactual history, historians in Poland and Ukraine defied the maxim of positivist historiography—that history has no subjunctive mood—and plunged into speculation on how differently the history of both countries would have turned out if, instead of fighting prolonged and exhausting wars, Poland-Lithuania and the Hetmanate had reunited in a new and reformed Com- monwealth. Would this have stopped the decline of Poland, the ruin of Ukraine, Ottoman interventions, and the rise of Muscovy as the dominant force in the region? The Union of Hadiach, as the agreement became known in historiography, had the potential to influence all these processes. It envisioned the creation of a tripartite Commonwealth—the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and a Principality of Rus', with the Cossack hetman as its official head. The union was the culmination of the activities of moderate forces among the Polish and Ukrainian elites and the embodiment of the hopes and dreams of the Ruthenian (Ukrainian and Bela- rusian) nobility of the first half of the seventeenth century. Nevertheless, the com- promise that the union embodied was rejected by mainstream forces on both sides. The Commonwealth Diet ratified the text of the treaty with a number of important omis- sions, but even in that form it was viewed with suspicion and rejected by the Polish nobiliary elites, which could not reconcile themselves to the prospect of Orthodox Cossacks enjoying equal rights with Catholic nobles.
