  • Ukrainian Nationalism Again Under Attack in Ukraine
    Ukrainian Nationalism Again Under Attack in Ukraine Publication: Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 7 Issue: 138 July 19, 2010 12:30 PM Age: 11 hrs Category: Eurasia Daily Monitor, Home Page, Domestic/Social, Ukraine, Europe, Russia By: Taras Kuzio Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych (BBC) Belarus and Ukraine are the only two post-communist countries where the ruling authorities see the nationalism of their countrymen as something to be denounced and combated. Viktor Yanukovych, is the first of four Ukrainian presidents whose team regard Ukrainian nationalism as an evil that they associate – as in Soviet times– with pro-Western opposition, Galicia and the Ukrainian Diaspora. Deputy Prime Minister, Borys Kolesnikov, usually associated with the “pragmatic” business wing of the Party of Regions, described his “Orange” opponents as “nationalist bandits” (Ukrayinska Pravda, May 27). Such language is a throwback to Soviet views of nationalist partisans in Western Ukraine. Education Minister, Dmytro Tabachnyk, is the most hard line proponent of the new “anti-nationalism.” His concept for school textbooks would radically depart from the last two decades and return to the Soviet view of Ukrainian nationalists as “murderers” and “Nazi collaborators” (www.partyofregions.org.ua/pr-east- west/4c08a20a530d1/). Tabachnyk divides Josef Stalin into “good” and “bad” in his role in the victory of World War II and his responsibility for the deaths of “many innocent people.” Tabachnyk asserted that: “Stepan Bandera and Yuriy Shukhevych will remain in history as nationalists, and organizers of mass murder and they will forever be stained by the brush of collaborationism.”After the erection of a bust to Stalin in Zaporozhzhia in May, the Communist Party (KPU) has sought to place a Stalin bust in Kyiv (http://gazeta.ua/index.php?id=338461).

  • Contemporary Nationalism in Ukraine: Why We
    Contemporary Nationalism in Ukraine: Why we need a Broader Analytical Framework Taras Kuzio Center for Transatlantic Relations, School of Advanced International Relations, Johns Hopkins University, Washington DC ‘Russian and Ukrainian Nationalism: Entangled Histories.’ A Harriman Institute Workshop, Columbia University, 22 and 23 April 2013 This paper puts forward the proposal that nationalism in Ukraine should be investigated in a broader context than is traditionally undertaken by scholars who focus on one region (Western Ukraine) and one element (ethnic Ukrainian nationalism). This paper is divided into three sections. The first section surveys the phenomena of racism, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism in Ukraine. The second section analyses the failure of the émigré OUNb (Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, Stepan Bandera wing) to establish its political force in Ukraine compared with the success of the Svoboda (Freedom) political party. The third section analyses Russian and Soviet nationalism in Ukraine. Skinheads and Nazi parties and movements are included in my analysis of Russian and Soviet Nationalism because they do not espouse ethnic Ukrainian nationalist ideologies but instead propagate eclectic combinations of Ukrainian state nationalism, anti- Americanism and pan-Slavism. Racism, Xenophobia, and Anti-Semitism in Ukraine Racism Racist crimes in Ukraine against foreigners, migrants, asylum seekers, refugees, and Roma are rarely prosecuted and when they are they usually fall under the rubric of ‘hooliganism’ which leads to minor criminal charges. Racist and anti- Semitic crimes in Ukraine go unreported because of very low levels of public trust in the police1 and courts and fear of police racism and brutality. Racial profiling and individual targeting of identity checks in public places of immigrants and asylum seekers are commonplace which reduces confidence in the police and leads to under- reporting of racist attacks.
