    Ab Imperio, 4/2003 Yohanan PETROVSKY-SHTERN RECONCEPTUALIZING THE ALIEN: JEWS IN MODERN UKRAINIAN THOUGHT* To love ones motherland is no crime. From Zalyvakhas letter to Svitlychnyi, Chornovil, and Lukho. Whoever in hunger eats the grass of the motherland is no criminal. Andrei Platonov, The Sand Teacher Perhaps one of the most astounding phenomena in modern Ukrainian thought is the radical reassessment of the Jew. Though the revision of Jew- ish issues began earlier in the 20th century, if not in the late 19th, it became particularly salient as part of the new political narrative after the “velvet revolution” of 1991 that led to the demise of the USSR and the establish- * I gratefully acknowledge the help of two anonymous reviewers of Ab Imperio whose insightful comments helped me considerably to improve this paper.

Petrovsky-Shtern, Reconceptualizing the Alien... ment of an independent Ukraine. The new Ukrainian perception of the Jew boldly challenged the received bias and created a new social and political environment fostering the renaissance of Jewish culture in Ukraine, let alone Ukrainian-Jewish dialogue. There were a number of ways to explain what had happened. For some, the sudden Ukrainian-Jewish rapprochement was a by-product of the new western-oriented post-1991 Ukrainian foreign pol- icy.

  • Afterword Vieda Skultans
    109 AFTERWORD Vieda Skultans Vieda Skultans is professor emerita and senior research fellow at the School of So- ciology, Politics, and International Studies, University of Bristol. Address for corre- spondence: 11 Priory Road, Bristol, BS8 1UQ, UK. [email protected]. Laboratorium. 2015. 7(1):109–113 Laboratorium. 2015. © Much of what happened in the Gulag has been left unrecorded, unexamined, and unexpiated. The historian David Satter recently made the assertion that “Russia to- day is haunted by words that have been left unsaid” (2013:111). This important spe- cial issue of Laboratorium on the Gulag goes a considerable way towards correcting this lacuna. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s emblematic coupling of the incarcerations on So- lovetskii Islands with Auschwitz draws our attention to the similar brutal activities in these morally close but geographically far-removed sites. Solzhenitsyn writes of how “the ovens of the Arctic Auschwitz had been lit right there” ([1973] 1975:45). However, the subsequent visibility and representation of these sites, their posthu- mous existence, if you like, have been very different. While the Soviets liberated Auschwitz, thus revealing to the world what had gone on there, no such revelatory liberation happened for the inmates of the Gulag camps. Indeed, the liberation of the one could be said to have promoted the unfettered development of the other. Re- membering one atrocity is often an excuse for neglecting others (Skultans 2014). Not only was physical distance a barrier to revelation but, more importantly, the lack of a visual record of Gulag atrocities and the willingness of Western visitors to be duped helped to contribute to the unreal status of these places and activities.
