12 CIUS Newsletter 2012 CIUS News CIUS News Publications Spur Discussions of Ukrainian History In October 2011 Professor Serhii Plokhii, Mykhailo Hrushevsky Chair of Ukrainian History at Harvard Universi­ ty, visited Edmonton to participate in a launch of new CIUS Press publications and to speak about the Yalta Agreement of 1945 in the CIUS seminar series. On 6 October, in his analysis of Mykhailo Hrushevsky’s History of Ukraine-Rusʹ (volume 9, book 2, part 2), Dr. Plokhii compared the rise and decline of the Cossack state with the Ukrainian People’s Republic. As Hru­ shevsky wrote his history, his thinking was influenced by the failure of the Ukrainian state of 1917–20. The main reason for the seventeenth-century failure, in his opinion, lay in the Cos­ sack elite’s betrayal of the masses and its Launching new CIUS Press publications (l–r): Frank Sysyn, Serhii Plokhii, Zenon Kohut concessions to the Muscovite admin­ istration.

New Archaeological Finds in Baturyn In 2011 the Canada-Ukraine archaeological expedition continued excavating the court of Hetman Ivan Mazepa in Honcharivka, a sub­ urb of Baturyn. It was constructed before 1700 and burned during the destruction of Baturyn by Musco­ vite troops in 1708. The masonry palace housed the private quarters of Mazepa and his wife, Hanna. A newly discovered ce­ ramic tile features a relief cross with four cross-arms on a Renaissance shield, which has been tentatively identified as the coat of arms of Hanna Mazepa, a descendant of the noble Polovets family.

In Memoriam Вічна їм пам’ять!

All members of CIUS staff are saddened by the passing of three major benefactors: Dr. Maria Fischer-Slysh (1922–2012), a generous donor to the Hrushevsky Translation Project; William Fedeyko (1911–2012), a founder of the Fedeyko Family Endowment Fund to support Ukrainian-Canadian studies; and Zenowia Boyko (1921– 2011), a founder of the Ivan and Zenowia Boyko Endowment Fund. Many members of our community have paid tribute to the memory of a friend, associate, or loved one who has passed away by making a donation to CIUS. We remember those in whose memory gifts have been received between 1 September 2011 and 31 July 2012:

Donor Support Helps Advance Ukrainian Studies

Dear Donors, Thank you very much for your generosity, which has greatly helped to sustain and develop CIUS programs and project funding in the 2011–12 academic year. Your charitable support has made it possible for the Institute to record significant achievements that are described in this issue of the News­ letter. Over the past year, CIUS has awarded scholarships, fellowships, and research grants to thirteen undergradu­ ate and five graduate students, as well as to twenty-nine scholars working on Ukrainian or Ukrainian-Canadian top­ ASAUS executive (l–r): Bill Kobluk, Orest Talpash, Bohdan Harasymiw, Mykola ics. This number will continue to grow, Soroka, Svitlana Melnyk, Bohdan Medwidsky, John Shalewa, and David Biscoe thanks to the establishment of new funds at CIUS—the Bohdan and Natalia Golemba Endowment Fund and the University of Alberta- Ukraine Student Exchange Endowment Fund. We have received a major gift from Roman Wasylyszyn of Philadelphia in fulfillment of the wish of his late wife, Volodymyra, to sustain the archaeological project in Baturyn. The Julian and Savella Stechishin Endowment Fund, established through the efforts of Zenia Stechishin of Toronto, will sup­ port scholarly publications in Ukrainian studies. Other major donations have come from Nestor and Myrosia Maslo, Marusia and Roman Petryshyn, and from the bequest of Mary Yacyshyn. Members of the Fedeyko family, who recently lost both founders of the Fedeyko Family Fund, William and Justine, are maintaining their generational commitment to preserve Ukrainian values and culture in Canada. CIUS owes much to the support of community and family organizations, including the Canadian Foundation for Ukrainian Studies, the Alberta Ukrainian Heritage Foundation, the Ukrainian Cana­ dian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko, the W. K. Lypynsky East European Research Institute, and the Temerty Family Foundation. The Alberta Society for the Advancement of Ukrainian Studies (ASAUS), established in 2008 to support Ukrainian related educational and scholarly programs and activities in Ukrainian studies, organized several community events involving CIUS. The complete list of donors to CIUS for the last academic year appears on the following pages.

Mykola Soroka Fund Development

CIUS Newsletter 2012 31 Endowments CIUS Endowment Funds Charitable donations are crucial to the support of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies. Overall, about two-thirds of our budget and consequently our activities are funded by interest earned from endow­ ment funds and through direct contributions from donors. Through the generosity of our donors we are able to maintain the programs and projects run by scholars at CIUS. Donor support has also allowed us to provide annual scholarships, fellowships, and grants to dozens of students and scholars from all parts of the world working in many fields of Ukrainian studies. Donor support also allows us to publish books and a scholarly journal, develop materials for Ukrainian-language education, organize conferences, lectures, and seminars. Donors also help us contribute to the cultural and educational development of community groups and to foster and support international links of mutual benefit to Canada and the world, especially with Ukraine. We thank all our donors for their generosity and trust in CIUS. Through their donations, they will be remembered by future generations. Donations from both Canada and the United States are eligible for tax deductions.

The English-language edition of Mykhailo Hrushevsky’s classic ten-volume (in twelve books) History of Ukraine-Rusʹ has been hailed as one of North America’s most important and ambitious publishing projects in East Slavic history. Prepared by the Peter Jacyk Centre for Ukrainian Historical Research and published by CIUS Press, the edition includes extensive introductions, bibliographies of Hrushevsky’s sources, and updates of subsequent literature. The volumes published to date have received international recognition and high praise as major contributions to scholarship on Ukraine. Volume 6, published this year, gives a full picture of life in the Ukrainian lands during the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries, the Lithuanian-Polish period in Ukraine’s history. Here Hrushevsky examines everything from trade, manufacture, and agriculture to the ethnic and social components of society, from the roles of government, guilds, and brotherhoods to artistic and literary production. He relates how the Orthodox- Uniate religious divide developed and how it affected society. Citing documents, statistics, testaments, and other historical sources, he also provides his own analysis of events and their impact on Ukrainian history. Here the story of the Ukrainian narod continues up to the early 1600s, when Cossackdom was coming to the fore in Ukrainian affairs. Volume 6 is available in a hardcover edition for $119.95 (plus taxes and shipping; outside Canada, prices are in U.S. dollars). A subscription to the full 10-volume set (in 12 books) of the History of Ukraine-Rusʹ is available for $1,100. Orders can be placed securely online at www.ciuspress.com or by contacting:
