Slavic Departments). Yet the very concept of Slavicness is inherently problematic. Objectively, the only feature that binds all Slavs together is linguistic – the common genealogy and the present similarities of their languages.

  • The Empire Strikes Out: Imperial Russia, “National” Identity, and Theories of Empire1 Ronald Grigor Suny the University of Chicago
    1 The Empire Strikes Out: Imperial Russia, “National” Identity, and Theories of Empire1 Ronald Grigor Suny The University of Chicago Chapter for A State of Nations: Empire and Nation-Making in the Soviet Union, 1917- 1953, first delivered as a paper for the University of Chicago Conference, Empire and Nations: The Soviet Union and the Non-Russian Peoples October 24-26, 1997 At a time when Russian politicians have re-employed the term derzhava (Great Power) to provide a vision of a future Russia, Western writers have resurrected the metaphor of “empire” to describe the former Soviet Union, and even post-Soviet Russia.2 Earlier “empire” either referred to the external relationship between the USSR and its East European dependencies or, if used for the internal relations between Moscow and the non-Russian peoples, it usually had a highly partisan valence and signaled to the reader a conservative, anti-Soviet interpretation of nationality policy.3 Consistent with Ronald Reagan’s sense of the USSR as the “Evil Empire,” empire applied to states that were considered internally repressive and externally expansionist. But in the late 1980s, with the rise of nationalist and separatist movements within the Soviet Union, the term was used more widely as a seemingly transparent empirical description of a particular form of multinational state.4 As Mark R. Beissinger noted, “What once was routinely referred to as a state suddenly came to be universally condemned as an empire.”5 Though free of any theorization at first, the concept of a “Soviet Empire” implied immediately a state that had lost its legitimacy and was destined to collapse.

  • "Spotlight" Interview with George Liber
    H-Ukraine H-Ukraine "Spotlight" Interview with George Liber Discussion published by John Vsetecka on Friday, January 15, 2021 H-Ukraine “Spotlight” Interview with George Liber George Liber ([email protected]) is Professor of History at the University of Alabama at Birmingham H-Ukraine: According to your online faculty profile page, you were born exactly one week after Joseph Stalin died. Some might consider it fate that you became a historian of Soviet and east European history. What made you interested in researching and teaching the topic in a professional capacity? GL: Fate is perhaps too strong a word. From an early age, I was interested in history and politics. I was raised in a Ukrainian émigré environment in the greater Chicago-metro area. I attended Ukrainian Saturday School at St. Nicholas Greek Catholic Church in Chicago, graduating in 1970. When I was in high school, I traveled by means of the South Shore Railroad from Gary, Indiana, where I lived with my parents, to Chicago to attend these Saturday classes. On these trips, I often spent long periods of time waiting in train stations, perusing the magazine racks in the gift shops. I encountered The Atlantic and Harper’s for the first time and voraciously read them. They introduced me to a wider world, which did not include Ukraine. I felt marginalized. In order to overcome this division between my American and Ukrainian worlds, I hoped to become a professor. My first interest was American history (I remember reading Richard Hofstadter’sAnti-Intellectualism in American Life, a book which had a profound influence on me when I was 15; the book is still worth rereading today, especially in our conspiracy-saturated world).

    12 BETWEEN IMPERIAL TEMPTATION AND ANTI-IMPERIAL FUNCTION IN EASTERN EUROPEAN POLITICS: POLAND FROM THE EIGHTEENTH TO TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY ANDRZEJ NOWAK WAS THE POLISH-LITHUANIAN COMMONWEALTH AN EMPIRE? There are two questions: how to analyse effectively the political structure and function of a vast Eastern European realm named through centuries the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and what it should properly be called? “Imperiological” studies, rapidly growing in the past two decades, form an original context in which a new answer to this perennial historical question seems possible: the Commonwealth was an empire. In fact, this name has already been given to the Polish-Lithuanian state, rather intuitively however, and in a not very convincing manner, in a few recent studies. “It is not customary to speak of a Polish empire, [...] but I do not see why the Swedes, with a Grand Duchy of Finland and other possessions in northern Germany, had an empire while the Poles did not” – based solely on this statement, a Harvard historian of Eastern European geopolitics, John P. LeDonne, posits a Polish empire on a par not only with the seventeenth century Swedish state, but with the Russian Empire of Peter the Great and his successors as well. Another American scholar, a political scientist, Ilya Prizel, stresses similarities between the Russian and Polish empires – as he calls them – due to their multinational structure and their supra-national elites.1 1 John P. LeDonne, The Russian Empire and the World 1700-1917. The Geopolitics of Expansion and Containment (New York, Oxford, 1997), p. 371; Ilya Prizel, National Identity and Foreign Policy.

  • On the Origins of Divisions Plaguing Today's Ukraine
    On The Origins Of Divisions Plaguing Today’s Ukraine Authored by Anastasiya F. Uzhva, April 17, 2015 Abstract: With this inquiry I attribute the causes of the divide in the east and west Ukraine to the historical composition, religious affiliations, and political interests of the Ukrainian people. JEL Classification: B15, B25, D72, F15, F53, H77 Key Words: Civilizational Identities, Imperial Conquers, Uniate Church, Ukrainian Orthodoxy, Nationalist Movement, Westernization 1 Today’s Ukraine should be considered divided. This inquiry seeks to establish the origins of divisions plaguing today’s Ukraine. Three factors mainly affect institutional composition and promote divisions in the Ukraine. These are historical composition, religion, and political interests. The purpose of this paper is to examine the variables that create this divide within the east and west territories of Ukraine. Historical Composition The two very extreme and different regions of Ukraine are Lviv and Donetsk. These represent very nationalized and denationalized views of Ukraine. An average citizen in Donetsk will relate to Russians and will have more pride in the Russian heritage and culture they possess or are accustomed to. Lviv on the other hand, promotes and encourages nationalistic pride. One important factor that differentiates the two major cities, or more broadly, Ukraine’s western and eastern territories, is different ethnic backgrounds. Based on the Ukrainian Census (2001) Ukrainians constitute the largest ethnic group in Ukraine at 77.8 percent of the population. Russians make up 17.3 percent. In addition, Ukraine consists of multiple other ethnic groups including Romanians, Hungarians, Belarusians, Moldovans, Bulgarians, Crimean Tatars, and Poles. Wesley Shoemaker (2008, p.

Nationalism (Imperialism), Racism and War by Taras Kuzio. Get your free download from E-International Relations. Western historiography of ‘Russia’ has always been that of a history of the Russian empire and never that of the Russian state, such as the Russian Federation since 1991. This places western historiography at odds with standard western histories of European nation-states. Western and Ukrainian histories of Ukraine are those of the nation-state, which came into existence in 1991. This chapter focuses on Ukraine within western historiography of ‘Russia’ for two reasons. The first is that Russian nationalists (imperialists) have always viewed Ukrainians and Belarusians in a different manner to other nationalities in the Tsarist Empire and Soviet Union and as independent states since 1991. Ukrainians and Belarusians were viewed as two of the three branches of the tryedynstva russkoho naroda by Tsarist Russia; in the USSR, this was modified to the eastern Slavs being close but separate peoples. Limited space means this book can focus on only Ukraine and not include an analysis of western historiography of Belarus. Russian attitudes to Belarus are in many ways worse than those towards Ukraine, and Russian leaders and media use ‘White Russia’ and ‘Belarus’ interchangeably.[1] President Vladimir Putin described Belarusians as ‘perhaps, the closest country to us.

  • Ukraine's Civil Society Development Past And
    UKRAINE‘S CIVIL SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT PAST AND PRESENT: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF 19TH AND 21ST CENTURY VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION IN KIEV BY KRISTINA JOY SATERN THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Visiting Assistant Professor Volodymyr A. Chumachenko Abstract The late imperial period saw the development of a significant and substantial, although somewhat small, civil society in Kiev. After 100 years, the fall of communism gave way to increasing growth of the public sphere again. Now, however, critics are calling Ukraine‘s recent civil society development a façade. What conditions have changed and new challenges arisen in the last century that have affected the function, composition, and capacity of voluntary associations and organizations? Can history shed some light on Ukraine‘s current ―third sector crisis‖? This thesis examines the development of civil society in both late imperial and post- communist Kiev. A historically diverse and foreign-dominated nation, Ukraine has remained a multi-cultural, multi-lingual, and multi-confessional state with large Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, and Jewish populations. In the 19th century, rapid urbanization and industrialization, coupled with declining power of Russian imperial rule, led to a growing public sphere and civil society in urban centers such as Kiev. The increasing number of voluntary associations largely included recreational, professional, and social organizations, which functioned as public spaces for individuals to unite around civic causes. The fall of communism and the collapse of the USSR again allowed for a growing public sphere and civil society in Kiev.
