Zakarpattia Case Study Situational Analysis Case Study Zakarpattia region About International Alert International Alert works with people directly affected by conflict to build lasting peace. Together, we believe peace is within our power. We focus on solving the root causes of conflict, bringing together people from across divides. From the grassroots to policy level, we come together to build everyday peace. Peace is just as much about communities living together, side by side, and resolving their differences without resorting to violence as it is about people signing a treaty or laying down their arms. That is why we believe that we all have a role to play in building a more peaceful future. www.international-alert.org © International Alert 2019 All rights reserved.

Introduction Five years on after the conflict in the east and the annexation of Crimea, Ukraine continues to face a number of geopolitical and domestic challenges. Against this backdrop, concerns for Ukraine’s integrity feature highly in the national discourse and are echoed by some international observers. This case study presents a conflict analysis of Berehove, a town in Transcarpathia oblast (hereafter Zakarpattia), the centre of Berehiv rayon (district). According to the 2001 census,1 Berehove’s population was 26,554 people, of which Hungarians (48.1%) and Ukrainians (38.9%) constituted the majority ethnic groups. The region was selected for the following reasons: its proximity to the international border with Hungary and strong links between Hungary and ethnic Hungarians in the region; Hungarian majority-minority in Berehove; geographical remoteness from Kyiv; agricultural economy; and a long history of patriarchal traditions. This case study forms part of an analysis of three regions in Ukraine: Kherson, Odesa and Zakarpattia. The common findings from each region are summarised in a synthesis report, which also proposes peacebuilding recommendations. 1 http://2001.ukrcensus.gov.ua/rus/results/general/nationality/zakarpatia/ Situational Analysis Case Study: Zakarpattia region International Alert | 5 2. Methodology In October and November 2018, a series of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were carried out in Berehove city of the Zakarpattia region. The qualitative study draws on views and experiences of 21 respondents, of which 10 people (9 men and 1 women) were interviewed individually and 11 (6 women and 5 men) participated in focus group discussions. Depending on their preference, the respondents were interviewed in Ukrainian or Hungarian. The respondents were sampled from a wide range of professional and social backgrounds, and included: local government officials and local deputies, representatives of education services, researchers, businesspeople, journalists and civic activists. They identified with diverse (majority and minority) ethnic and religious groups present in the region and represented different age categories (25–60 years). Given the sensitivity of the research topic and the pre-election political environment, all participants have been anonymised. Based on a relational (referring to the social construction of masculinities and femininities) and intersectional (as systems of power shaped by other identities)2 approach, the methodology included questions on gender dynamics to ensure gender was mainstreamed through the research. This allowed for the most prominent gender issues to be highlighted. However, a more focused methodology is required to uncover deep-rooted gendered drivers and effects and find ways to help to overcome a lack of interest in gender issues among local stakeholders (a fact brought to light during this project). The study also included desk research and a review of literature, including media reports (including social media); and documents of national and local authorities and statistical bodies. 2 H.

Context Analysis Proximity to the border with Hungary has a large impact on community development in terms of (in)security and the establishment of family and clan relations. It contributes to community perceptions of being at a double ‘dead end’ of a ‘big country’ (on the edges of both Ukraine and Hungary). The border is also a means of livelihood for many, including family and clan networks that operate illegal and semi-legal cross-border trading businesses. There is a strong sense of a Zakarpattian identity, particularly among local Hungarians, 62% of whom cited Zakarpattia as their “motherland” in a recent poll, whereas only 27% of Ukrainian respondents felt the same.3 This local identity has been shaped by geographic and political factors. Hungary is omnipresent in all spheres of life in the region, from economic and political to humanitarian and charitable. Hungarian authorities consider the region as historical lands of the Hungarian nation and the Hungarian minority as a part of that nation that enjoys the same rights and opportunities as those Hungarians living on the borders of today’s Hungarian state. A clan-based community system has developed primarily as a mechanism for community survival under authoritarian rule. This model continues to impact upon the way in which decisions are made and resources are managed. At the same time, the need to manage life on the borders of two large states and the external pressures this brings means that people established informal systems of governance based on a network of interconnected yet individual communities. “Clanship [has been] caused by the mountains. Group leaders make decisions, so-called opinion makers and priests are listened to. They might not have respect but they are listened to. A head of the village council may not have respect but [people] take note.”4 The economic, political and social crises that began with the break-up of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) led to a greater level of self-organisation in the communities. This was accompanied by ever lower levels of trust in the Ukrainian state authorities and politicians, especially at the central level. At the local level, this led to the formation of stronger parallel institutions to the state that were able to ensure economic survival and community security. “People self-organise. There is quite a high level of self-organisation and the state [was] replaced where deemed defective. They understood there that there is no support from the state. In Dobrush, Velikaya, the people themselves started to renovate the roads. If we do not get aid, we will manage it on our own.”5 The civil service and local self-governance, service provision (budgetary) and small entrepreneurship (tourism and agriculture) are the mainstays of the local economy. The illegal and semi-legal business activities that exist are linked to cross-border trade and natural resource management. Remittances from family members abroad and

  • Effects of Ukrainian Crisis in Transcarpathia: the Hungarian
    92/150 ÁGNES ERŐSS KATALIN KOVÁLY PATRIK TÁTRAI Effects of the Ukrainian Crisis in Transcarpathia: the Hungarian Perspective November 2016 www.migracje.uw.edu.pl 1 Ágnes Erőss – Katalin Kovály – Patrik Tátrai Geographical Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences 2 Abstract Ukraine’s turbulent recent history has had serious economic and social effects in its westernmost region, Transcarpathia. The East Ukrainian armed conflict, accompanied by a serious economic downturn, resulted in major modifications in individual and family life strategies determined by emigration and the policies of the neighbouring V4 states. The main focus of the present research was to study how recent political events (Euromaidan, the Russian takeover in Crimea, the Donbas conflict) affected Transcarpathia and its ethnic Hungarian population; furthermore, how patterns of individual and family life and migration strategies have been influenced by Hungary’s kin-state politics. The study is based on analysis of statistical data and policy documents, complemented by semi-structured interviews conducted in spring 2016. We found that the dynamics of emigration from Transcarpathia in the past few years are fuelled by the unrest in Eastern Ukraine (including the military drafts) and Hungary’s kin-state politics, especially the preferential (re)naturalisation simplifying the acquisition of Hungarian citizenship. Individual and family livelihood strategies, migration patterns and cross-border connections are influenced by the regional geopolitics of V4 countries. We argue that the western neighbours of the weakening Ukraine have unobtrusively made attempts to take advantage of the changing geopolitical circumstances in order to increase their influence and attract human resources. Keywords: Transcarpathia, kin-state politics, migration, Hungary, cross-border relations, Ukraine crisis Abstrakt Ostatnie wydarzenia na Ukrainie miały poważne skutki gospodarcze i społeczne także dla najbardziej na zachód wysuniętego regionu kraju - Zakarpacia.

  • At War with Russia in East, Ukraine Has Worries in the West, Too - the New York Times
    2018. 10. 07. At War With Russia in East, Ukraine Has Worries in the West, Too - The New York Times At War With Russia in East, Ukraine Has Worries in the West, Too By Andrew Higgins Oct. 5, 2018 BEREHOVE, Ukraine — When the Hungarian State Opera visited a town just over the border in western Ukraine last month to perform a patriotic opera, 3,000 people in the audience rose to their feet for the playing of the Ukrainian and then Hungarian national anthems. What followed, however, was a striking display of discordant allegiances. The audience, gathered in the Ukrainian town of Berehove in an outdoor amphitheater, stood mute during the Ukrainian hymn and then burst into boisterous song for the anthem of Hungary, a foreign country. The spectacle explains why, whether along Ukraine’s border with Russia in the east or on its western frontier with the European Union, border-straddling bonds of language and culture make it so difficult for Ukraine to hang together as a single, unified state. It is a clue as well of the skillful exploitation of nationalist impulses by Hungary’s leader, Viktor Orban, to cement his increasingly autocratic rule. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/05/world/europe/ukraine-hungary-ethnic-languages.html 1/10 2018. 10. 07.
