  • Radical Nationalist Parties and Movements in Contemporary Ukraine Before and After Independence: the Right and Its Politics, 1989-1994
    Nationalities Papers, Vol. 25, No. 2, 1997 RADICAL NATIONALIST PARTIES AND MOVEMENTS IN CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE BEFORE AND AFTER INDEPENDENCE: THE RIGHT AND ITS POLITICS, 1989-1994 Taras Kuzio Introduction The radical right in the Ukrainian political spectrum is dominated by three move- ments—the Nationalist Union Ukrainian State Independence (DSU), the Ukrainian National Assembly (UNA, formerly the Ukrainian Inter-Party Assembly, UMPA) and the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists (KUN). The UNA is dominated by the highly secretive Ukrainian Nationalist Union (UNS) which grew out of the national- ist wing of the Association of Independent Ukrainian Youth (SNUM). The KUN was launched in 1992 in Ukraine as the overt arm of the emigre Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists-Bandera faction (known commonly as OUN revolutionaries, or OUNr). Other organisations, such as SNUM and the more radical eastern Ukrainian-based Association of Ukrainian Youth (SUM), increasingly adopted "revolutionary nationalism" as their ideology in 1990-1991, with nationalists propagating a "youth cult" to attract the younger generation (both for members and intellectual support).1 It is also often pointed out that Ukrainian nationalism will have a large appeal among the youth of tomorrow.2 Other nationalist groups, though smaller, have also emerged, such as the Ukrainian National-Radical Party (UNRP) and the Organisation for the Liberation of Ukraine,3 but they have remained largely insignificant. The UNRP was established at the end of 1990 in L'viv, joined the Ukrainian Inter-Party Assembly (UMPA) but remained underground. Its leader, Mykhailo Stasiuk, launched the nationalist and widely read journal Derzhavnist in 1991, claiming the highly inflated membership figure of 500 members.4 The Ukrainian National Party (UNP) and the Ukrainian People's Democratic Party (UNDP), the founders of the UMPA, amalga- mated into the Ukrainian National Conservative Party (UNKP) in 1992.

  • “Veseli Vujky”Ukrainian Folk Band
    “Veseli Vujky” Ukrainian folk band The band was created in 2011, by professional musicians who pooled progressive views on Ukrainian folk music and its deserving representation on the modern world stage. Repertoire includes compositions created on the basis of traditional music of all Ukrainian regions. As participants in all kinds of Folklor, jazz, classical, pop ensembles, six Famous Kyiv musicians, decided to get together in one powerful and truly Ukrainian folk band. Each musician is brilliant creative person with rich professional achievements. “Veseli Vuiky” means – “merry men”, which clearly expressed in music and live performances. “Veseli Vuiky” were performing at festivals “Kraina Mriy”, “Organum”(Ukraine), “Ateliers d'ethnomusicologie”(Swiss), TFFRudolstadt(Germany). http://www.youtube.com/user/VeseliVujky https://soundcloud.com/veseli-vujky/sets/live-at-dzz https://www.facebook.com/pages/Veseli-Vujky-Folk-Band/219733928065000 Press: “Veseli Vujky Made up of young professionals experienced in all tricks of the trade, Veseli Vujky defines itself as a Ukrainian popular music ensemble.

To their virtuosity they add creativity and a bit of madness. The result is irresistible music.” (Laurent Aubert - ethnomusicolog- Swiss). “Beim TFF machen Veseli Vujky ihrem Namen, der ubersetzt so viel wie „lustige Burschen“ bedeutet, alle Ehre.

    UNIVERSITATEA „ȘTEFAN CEL MARE” SUCEAVA FACULTATEA DE ISTORIE ȘI GEOGRAFIE DOMENIUL ISTORIE TEZĂ DE DOCTORAT Ucrainenii în Bucovina interbelică: între integrare și iredentism Rezumat CONDUCĂTOR ȘTIINȚIFIC: Prof. univ. dr. Gheorghe ONIȘORU DOCTORAND: Ionuț BRAN Suceava, 2019 1 Interesul și motivația abordării problematicii referitoare la integrarea minorității ucrainene în Bucovina interbelică s-au născut, în conștiința mea, încă din timpul studenției. Fiind la origini bucovinean, am considerat firesc ca tema abordată pentru obținerea diplomei de licență, la absolvirea studiilor universitare, să încerce să abordeze tocmai evoluția și comportarea acestei comunități etnice din Bucovina. Sub îndrumarea prof. univ. dr. Cristian Troncotă, m-am oprit asupra studiului ucrainenilor din România, iar curând, simpla curiozitate studențească s-a transformat în nevoia de a aduna informații în paginile unei lucrări pe care am intitulat-o „Ucrainenii din România – trecut și prezent”. Ca temă de cercetare, am optat pentru imaginea de sine a etnicilor ucraineni din România, astfel cum aceasta reieșea din articole ale „Curierului Ucrainean”, publicație în limba română a Uniunii Ucrainenilor din România. Ulterior, am procedat la aprofundarea cercetării în chestiunea ucraineană, întorcându-mă în trecutul plin de necunoscute, pentru mine, al anilor interbelici, la sfatul părintesc al mamei și sub atenta, dar mai ales prieteneasca îndrumare specializată a domnului profesor universitar dr. Mihai Iacobescu, căruia îi sunt profund recunoscător pentru că a reușit să dezvolte, în mine, dorința de a cerceta, afla și apăra adevărul istoric, oricât de trist ar fi acesta. De altfel, aceste din urmă gânduri aparțin istoricului Mihai Iacobescu și se regăsesc, sub formă de dedicație, pe una din primele pagini ale lucrării domniei sale, 30 de zile în „Siberia” căutând arhivele Bucovinei, ediția a II-a, revăzută și adăugită, Iași, Editura Junimea, 2005.

  • The Extreme Right in Ukraine
    INTERNATIONAL POLICY ANALYSIS The Extreme Right in Ukraine MRIDULA GHOSH October 2012 n The major political forces in Ukraine do not have a well-articulated ideology. An analysis of the gradual emergence of the Svoboda (Freedom) party into the political mainstream since 2001 and as a contender in the October 2012 parliamentary elec- tions reveals that this party is the flagship of core extreme right ideology. n The economic crises, unemployment and corruption have enabled Svoboda to add a socioeconomic dimension to its ultra-nationalist agenda as well as to expand its out- reach by communicating with the grassroots rather than via elite lobby politics. This has helped Svoboda to gain power in regional legislative bodies in Western Ukraine. n Instead of distancing themselves from the rhetoric of Svoboda, the mainstream po- litical parties have entered into situation-dependent and other tacit alliances with it, either in order to win the nationalist vote or to showcase Svoboda as an »enemy« of democracy while presenting them as the only democratic alternative. The lack of consensus among the major political actors on how to combat right-wing extremist ideas has legitimised Svoboda in the public perception. n Civil society has provided some counter-strategies to the Svoboda party. However, in the absence of political consensus, these efforts have proved feeble and futile. To raise awareness of the inadmissibility of right-wing extremism in mainstream poli- tics, it is necessary to turn to the substantive socioeconomic elements of participa- tory governance.

  • Eugenics and Racial Anthropology in the Ukrainian Radical Nationalist Tradition
    Science in Context (2019), 32,67–91 doi:10.1017/S0269889719000048 RESEARCH ARTICLE Eugenics and racial anthropology in the Ukrainian radical nationalist tradition Per Anders Rudling Lund University, Lund, Sweden and National University of Singapore, Singapore Emails: [email protected], [email protected] Argument Eugenics and race played significant roles in Ukrainian interwar nationalism, yet remain largely unstudied. The Ukrainian nationalists’ understanding of the racial makeup of their imagined community was contradictory as they struggled to reconcile their desire for racial “purity” with the realities of significant variations between the populations inhabiting the enormous territories which they sought to include in their intended state project. The “turn to the right” over the 1930s placed an increased onus on race, and eugenics came to occupy an increasingly prominent place in Ukrainian radical nationalism from around 1936. In 1941, the leading Ukrainian far-right organization, the OUN had developed a project for eugenic engineering, for their aborted state, declared in L’viv on June 30, 1941. Racial conceptualiza- tions of the Ukrainian community figured prominently well into the Cold War era, gaining a new actuality and meaning in an émigré community dispersed across several countries.

A number of important studies have significantly expanded our understanding of eugenic thought in the European states that emerged following the collapse of the multiethnic empires at the end of World War I (Turda and Weindling 2007; Boskovic and Hann 2013; Felder and Weindling 2013; Turda 2015).
