It presents them as part of the intangible culture of the vanishing ethnic group. The traditional elements of physical culture of the Lemko community, especially fun and games have been presented on the basis of the general characteristics of this ethnic group, and the entire history of the presence of the Lemkos in Poland. Folk fun and games, as a form of physical activity are presented in the broad sense of physical and cultural system and the Lemko community located within the cultural system. The need for such a study is due to the fact that there are no other ethnological or cultural anthropology studies on physical culture of this ethnic group. Key words: Lemkos, physical culture, fun and games, religious rites, social rituals, leisure sociology, ethnology, cultural anthropology Introduction During the 2011 National Census the Lemko nationality was declared by 10,000 people, compared with the 38.5 million In European culture, traditional games and activities of folk population of Poland, including half of the respondents sur- nature, as well as dances and other forms of physical activity are veyed declaring it as the only nationality, 2,000 people indi- an important component of any national culture [1].

    24 Carpathian Rus ' INTERETHNIC COEXISTENCE WITHOUT VIOLENCE P R M!" e phenomenon of borderlands together with the somewhat related concept of marginal- ity are topics that in recent years have become quite popular as subjects of research among humanists and social scientists. At a recent scholarly conference in the United States I was asked to provide the opening remarks for an international project concerned with “exploring the origins and manifestations of ethnic (and related forms of religious and social) violence in the borderland regions of east-central, eastern, and southeastern Europe.” 1 I felt obliged to begin with an apologetic explanation because, while the territory I was asked to speak about is certainly a borderland in the time frame under consideration—1848 to the present—it has been remarkably free of ethnic, religious, and social violence. Has there never been contro- versy in this borderland territory that was provoked by ethnic, religious, and social factors? Yes, there has been. But have these factors led to interethnic violence? e answer is no. e territory in question is Carpathian Rus ', which, as will become clear, is a land of multiple borders. Carpathian Rus ' is not, however, located in an isolated peripheral region; rather, it is located in the center of the European continent as calculated by geographers in- terested in such questions during the second half of the nineteenth century. 2 What, then, is Carpathian Rus ' and where is it located specically? Since it is not, and has never been, an independent state or even an administrative entity, one will be hard pressed to nd Carpathian Rus ' on maps of Europe.

  • 1 Second Field School in Ivano-Frankivsk
    Second Field School in Ivano-Frankivsk REPORT: The Second Field School Ivano-Frankivsk Region, Ukraine July 21-August 10, 2010 Prepared by Dr. Maria Kaspina, Dr. Boris Khaimovich & Dr. Vladimir Levin Not a single taxi driver in Ivano-Frankivsk knows where the synagogue is located, although its massive building stands only 50 meters away from the central square bustling with people at its shops and restaurants. The once vibrant Jewish community of Eastern Galicia, numbering half a million people, was not only eradicated by the Nazis and their supporters during the Holocaust, but it has also faded from the memory of local inhabitants. The aim of our field school and the entire Jewish History in Galicia and Bukovina project is to document, collect and revive remnants - physical as well as intangible - that can still be recorded, preserved and revived after 65 years of Jewish absence from the region. Towards this aim, the Second Field School arrived at Ivano-Frankivsk (formerly Stanisławów) during the summer of 2010. The Second Field School in the Ivano-Frankivsk Region took place from July 21 to August 10, 2010. It was organized by the Jewish History in Galicia and Bukovina project and the Moscow 1 Center for University Teaching of Jewish Civilization Sefer. Fifteen students under the guidance of five scholars engaged in the documentation of Jewish history. The school was composed of three teams: one documenting Jewish cemeteries, another recording oral history and ethnographical materials from the local residents and the third team surveying towns and villages in the region. The complex approach applied towards the remnants of Jewish history allows for exploration in the fullest possible way.

Określono zakres organizacji przestrzennej tego systemu, uwzględniając elementy społeczno-geograficzne zachodniego makroregionu Ukrainy. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań należy stwierdzić, że struktura terytorialna organizacji produkcji i rozmieszczenia ludności zachodniej Ukrainy na charakter radialno-koncentryczny, co jest optymalnym wariantem kompozycji przestrzennej układu społecznego regionu. Słowa kluczowe : system zaludnienia, Ukraina Zachodnia Key words : settling system, West Ukraine Problem Statement Improvement of territorial structure of settling systems is among the major prob- lems when it regards territorial organization of social-geographic complexes. Ac- tuality of the problem is evidenced by introducing of the Territory Planning and Building Act, Ukraine, of 20 April 2000, and the General Scheme of Ukrainian Ter- ritory Planning Act, Ukraine, of 7 February 2002, both Acts establishing legal and organizational bases for planning, cultivation and provision of stable progress in in- habited localities, development of industrial, social and engineering-transport infra- structure ( Territory Planning and Building ... 2002, General Scheme of Ukrainian Territory ... 2002). Initial Premises Need for improvement of territorial organization of productive forces on specific stages of development delineates a circle of problems that require scientific research. 27 When studying problems of settling in 50-70-ies of the 20 th century, national geo- graphical science focused the majority of its attention upon separate towns and cit- ies, in particular, upon limitation of population increase in big cities, and to active growth of mid and small-sized towns.

  • Assistance to Undocumented Migrants.DOC
    UKRAINE: Assistance to Undocumented Migrants Project summary: 2004 was an historic year for Ukraine, as it saw the beginning of a new phase in its geopolitical significance. For the first time, a non-Russian member of the ex-Soviet Union has a border with the European Union (EU). Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) wishes to step up its activities in favour of undocumented and other migrants who already use Ukraine as a transit point – now they will be able to enter the EU directly from Ukrainian soil. The State Committee of Ukraine for Nationalities and Migration has predicted that EU expansion will lead to a 17% rise in the number of undocumented migrants entering Ukraine. According to the Ministry of Interior, about 50,000 illegal migrants from more than 45 countries are currently living in Ukraine. They come from China, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Somalia, as well as other former Soviet states in the Caucasus and Central Asia, as well as from conflict zones like Chechnya. In 2003, over 4,000 undocumented migrants were apprehended by Ukrainian border guards, including 2,253 who tried to cross the borders in Zakarpattya and Lviv oblasts. Most of these people ended up in detention camps. At the moment there are three such camps in Zakarpattya, in the towns of Mukachevo, Pavshyno, and Chop. According to Ukrainian law, people arrested at the border must stay in camps until they are identified and finally deported, which can sometimes take up to two months. Initially the camps were not intended to host large numbers of people; therefore, they are constantly overcrowded, especially in spring and summer.

Abstract Issues of the administrative division in the broader context of political and administrative reforms connected with democ- ratization and decentralization are considered. Some historical aspects of the administrative division modeling in Ukrainian borderlands are analyzed. Goals, mechanisms and the course of the current reform of administrative division at the local level in the Volyn and Lviv provinces are presented. The specifics of wealthy communities – new administrative units at the local level are outlined. Features of budget decentralization based on the example of comparing the structure of local government revenue are characterized. The problems and threats faced by the organizers at the present stage of reform are revealed, and some solutions to problematic situations in implementation of the new administrative division are proposed.
