  • Contributions by Canadian Social Scientists to the Study of Soviet Ukraine During the Cold War
    Contributions by Canadian Social Scientists to the Study of Soviet Ukraine During the Cold War Bohdan Harasymiw University of Calgary Abstract: This article surveys major publications concerning Ukraine by Canadian social scientists of the Cold War era. While the USSR existed, characterized by the uniformity of its political, economic, social, and cultural order, there was little incentive, apart from personal interest, for social scientists to specialize in their research on any of its component republics, including the Ukrainian SSR, and there was also no incentive to teach about them at universities. Hence there was a dearth of scholarly work on Soviet Ukraine from a social-scientific perspective. The exceptions, all but one of them émigrés—Jurij Borys, Bohdan Krawchenko, Bohdan R. Bociurkiw, Peter J. Potichnyj, Wsevolod Isajiw, and David Marples—were all the more notable. These authors, few as they were, laid the foundation for the study of post-1991 Ukraine, with major credit for disseminating their work going to the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) Press. Keywords: Canadian, social sciences, Soviet Ukraine, Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies. hen Omeljan Pritsak, in a paper he delivered at Carleton University in W January 1971, presented his tour d’horizon on the state of Ukrainian studies in the world, he barely mentioned Canada (139-52). Emphasizing the dearth of Ukrainian studies in Ukraine itself, his purpose was to draw attention to the inauguration of North America’s first Chair of Ukrainian Studies, at Harvard University. Two years later, of course, the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute was formed, with Pritsak as inaugural director.

    Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal Mapping the Field Author: Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 1 (2014): 135–157 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmhj.ukma.edu.ua Mapping the Field Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern Northwestern University, Department of History Abstract Drawing from the new trends in the inter-ethnic and cross-cultural studies, this paper points to several major lacunae in the research of Jewish Ukrainian relations and in the contextual religious, economic, and multilingual literary history of Jews on the Ukrainian lands, the study of which the author considers the major scholarly desiderata. Unlike most of the historiographical studies of Ukrainian Jewish relations published so far, this essay suggests heretofore underexplored or neglected themes, sub-fields, documentary collections, and methodologies, thus, “mapping the field” for the next generation of young scholars and researchers interested in exploring Ukrainian multi- cultural legacy. Key Words: Ukraine, Jews, historiography, inter-ethnic and cross-cultural studies, research program. In his memoirs, written in Ukraine and published in Canada, Danylo Shumuk relates an episode of his stormy career. In the 1930s, Shumuk spent several years in a Polish prison for his communist sympathies and, in 1942, he escaped from a Nazi POW camp somewhere near Kharkiv. He decided to walk from Kharkiv district to his native village in Volhynia and join the Ukrainian underground resistance there. On his journey across Ukraine, Shumuk met a Jewish girl, Fania, from Warsaw, who was also walking to Volhynia seeking to find her relatives there. Shumuk was not a great admirer of the Jews.
