  • Fragment of a 17Th-Century Glass Wine Goblet
    16 Canadio-Byzantina 23 (January 2012) REPORTS Excavations at Baturyn in 2011 During the summer of 2011 the Canada-Ukraine archaeological expedition resumed its annual excavations in Baturyn, Chernihiv province, Ukraine. The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS), the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (PIMS) in Toronto, and the Shevchenko Scientific Society of America (SSS-A) co-sponsor the project. Prof. Zenon Kohut, Director of CIUS, heads this undertaking; Prof. Orest Popovych, President of SSS-A, is its patron and academic adviser; Dr. Volodymyr Kovalenko, University of Chernihiv, leads the expedition. Dr. Volodymyr Mezentsev (CIUS), Prof. Martin Dimnik (PIMS), and Huseyin Oylupinar, Ph.D.candidate (University of Alberta), are also engaged in the excavation and the publication of its findings. The 2011 expedition recruited 75 students and scholars from the universities and museums of Chernihiv, Nizhyn, Kyiv, Sumy, Baturyn, Hlukhiv, Melitopol, Chernivtsi in Ukraine, and Toronto and Edmonton in Canada. From 1669 to 1708, Baturyn was the capital of the Cossack Hetman state that reached its zenith under the rule of the enlightened Hetman Ivan Mazepa (1687-1709). In alliance with Sweden he attempted to liberate central Ukraine from increasing Moscow domination but the Russian army suppressed his insurrection and destroyed Baturyn in 1708. This year’s expedition continued excavating the remnants of Mazepa’s fortified court located in the Baturyn suburb of Honcharivka. Around 1699 he commissioned the erection of the three-story masonry palace; it was unrivalled in the Cossack realm and became his principal residence. Archaeological and architectural investigations of the palace’s remnants in 2003-10 have established that it was built and adorned in a mature Vilnius (Wilno) Baroque style and enriched with the ornate polychrome glazed ceramic revetments of the Kyivan Baroque style.

  • The Black Council
    Electronic Library of Ukrainian Literature Panteleimon Kulish The Black Council Abridged and translated from Ukrainian by George S. N. and Moira Luckyj 1 Late in the spring of 1663 two travelers mounted on good horses were approaching Kyiv from the direction of Bilhorod. One was a young Cossack, armed for battle; the other, by his dress and white beard, appeared to be a priest, but by the long sword under his cassock, the pistols at his belt and the long scars on his face, looked like an old Cossack. Their horses were tired, their clothes covered with dust—they had obviously traveled a long way. Two or three versts from Kyiv they turned left and trotted through a grove of trees along a winding track. Whoever saw them turn that way must have guessed at once where they were going. The winding track led to Khmaryshche, the khutir of Cherevan, one of the wealthy, high-living Cossacks who had grown rich during the ten-year war against the Poles. For about ten years Bohdan Khmelnytsky raided the mighty Poles with his Cossacks. That was when Cherevan grabbed his immense wealth and, after the war, settled down on a khutir near Kyiv. Evening was approaching. The sun was no longer hot; it was a joy to see it shimmering through the leafy branches, gleaming on the mossy oak trees and the young grass. Birds were singing and calling joyfully in the grove and the earth around was smiling. Yet the travelers were sad. They seemed unlikely guests of the merry Cherevan.

  • Iuliia Kysla
    Rethinking the Postwar Era: Soviet Ukrainian Writers Under Late Stalinism, 1945-1949 by Iuliia Kysla A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Iuliia Kysla, 2018 Abstract This dissertation advances the study of late Stalinism, which has until recently been regarded as a bizarre appendage to Stalin’s rule, and aims to answer the question of whether late Stalinism was a rupture with or continuation of its prewar precursor. I analyze the reintegration of Ukrainian writers into the postwar Soviet polity and their adaptation to the new realities following the dramatic upheavals of war. Focusing on two parallel case studies, Lviv and Kyiv, this study explores how the Soviet regime worked with members of the intelligentsia in these two cities after 1945, at a time when both sides were engaged in “identification games.” This dissertation demonstrates that, despite the regime’s obsession with control, there was some room for independent action on the part of Ukrainian writers and other intellectuals. Authors exploited gaps in Soviet discourse to reclaim agency, which they used as a vehicle to promote their own cultural agendas. Unlike the 1930s, when all official writers had to internalize the tropes of Soviet culture, in the postwar years there was some flexibility in an author’s ability to accept or reject the Soviet system. Moreover, this dissertation suggests that Stalin’s postwar cultural policy—unlike the strategies of the 1930s, which relied predominantly on coercive tactics—was defined mainly by discipline by humiliation, which often involved bullying and threatening members of the creative intelligentsia.

Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden of Caucasian origin is the most dangerous plant for the environment, geosystems, farm- ing and public health. The sap of H. sosnowskyi, its pollen, scent and even dew are dangerous for human health and cause chemical burns, allergic reactions and even deaths. Works on the negative impact of the H. sosnowskyi spread have been published in Ukraine only recently. A more detailed study of H. sosnowskyi is possible only through inspections of each region in Ukraine, which would allow to predict the intensity, rate, frequency and area of phytocoenotic changes, as well as to provide data for cartograms. In the Rivne region, H. sosnowskyi overcomes geographical, ecological, reproductive and coenotic barriers, forms a large number of off- spring, massively and rapidly spreads over considerable distances of the studied territory, establishing in anthropogenic and natural coenoses. The dense river network, sufficient moisture, mild climate and the decline of agriculture have created favourable conditions for the spread of H. sosnowskyi. Populations of H. sosnowskyi in the Rivne region have an uneven distribution.
