    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.

    B 20004 F GW ISSN 0001 - 0545 BULLETIN OF THE ANTIBOLSHEVIK BLOC OF NATIONS ON THE DEATH OF OLENA ANTONIV The news cut through the heart with a knife. They have killed Olena Antoniv, Mrs. Olena, Olenka. She was neither a poet, nor an artist, nor a composer. She did not write poetry. She did not compose music. She herself was music, a living melody of kindness and friendship in a savage empire of evil and cruelty. Because of this, the stupid, the cruel, the evil and the savage hated her. And they have killed her. Family, friends, the city of Lviv, the adornment of which was Olena Antoniv, have been left orphans. Together with all those persecuted for honesty in and outside Ukraine w'e are in deep sorrow, bidding farewell today... to yet another broken melody. Olena Antoniv and son Taras Svyatoslav Karavansky and Nina Strokata Munich, February 7, 1985 USSR News Brief issued the following: On February 4, in the Ukrainian city of Lviv, Olena Antoniv was killed in a car accident. Mrs. Antoniv, who was the wife of former political prisoner and poet Zinoviy Krasivsky, was very active in the framework of the Fund to Aid Political Prisoners and for this was strongly attacked in the Soviet mass media. On February 6, in Lithuania, the priest of the Cathedral of Rudamina Jozas Zdebskis was also killed in a car accident. J. Zdebskis, aged 57 was ordained a priest in 1952. In 1978 he became one of the founders of the unofficial Catholic Committee to Defend the Rights of Believers.
