  • Anti-Semitism in Ukraine: Post Jackson-Vanik Graduation The
    The Eurasia Brief April, 2008 Anti-Semitism in Ukraine: Post Jackson-Vanik Graduation Aaron Ostrovsky, Research Analyst, Eurasia Center The Eurasia Center’s Program on Civil Freedoms, Religious & Ethnic Toleration “Judaism without Embellishments”-Trofim Kichko Anti-Semitism has continuously embedded thorns into the democratic stability of Ukraine. The issue of anti-Semitism has contributed to the reasoning behind Ukraine’s delayed Euro-Atlantic integration and EU membership. In accordance with EU regulations, certain levels of human rights violations will inhibit a country from membership. Historically rooted in Ukrainian society, anti-Semitism has unfortunately paralleled Ukraine’s evolution as a democratic state. Following Ukraine’s graduation from Jackson-Vanik, it has become increasingly clear that issues such as anti-Semitism and racism plague the underbelly of Ukrainian life. The underlining question which needs to be addressed is whether or not Judaism has a chance to survive and prosper in today’s Ukraine? Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the mass emigration of Jews, Ukraine still contains one of the largest Jewish communities in the world; Ukraine’s Jewish community is ranked the eleventh largest in the world and fifth in Europe. In 1992, it was estimated that around 100 Jewish organizations had emerged in Ukraine following Ukraine’s independence; this figure grew at a rate of 50 new organizations annually in 1992-1994.1 By 2000, there were approximately 500 Jewish groups in Ukraine. The Association of Jewish Organizations and Communities of Ukraine (AJOCU) reported that following a short period of relaxation in 1990-1991, new signs of anti- Semitism emerged.

  • Purifying National Historical Narratives in Russia
    A Trial in Absentia: Purifying National Historical Narratives in Russia Author(s): Olga Bertelsen Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 3 (2016): 57–87 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmhj.ukma.edu.ua/ A Trial in Absentia: Purifying National Historical Narratives in Russia1 Olga Bertelsen Columbia University, Harriman Institute Abstract This study explores contemporary Russian memory politics, and analyzes the ideological underpinnings of the 2011 Moscow court verdict that criminalized a Ukrainian scholarly publication, accusing it of inciting ethnic, racial, national, social, and religious hatred. This accusation is examined in the context of Russia’s attempts to control the official historical narrative. Special attention is paid to the role of Russian cultural and democratic civic institutions, such as the Moscow library of Ukrainian literature and Memorial, in the micro- history of this publication. Deconstructing the judicial reaction of Russian lawmakers toward the Ukrainian publication, the study analyzes the Russian political elite’s attitudes toward the “Ukrainian” historical interpretations of Stalin’s terror and other aspects of common Soviet history, and demonstrates the interconnectedness of the preceding Soviet and modern Russian methods of control over education, history, and culture. Language and legislation play an important role in Russian memory politics that shape the popular historical imagination and camouflage the authoritarian methods of governing in Russia.
