    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.

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.

  • Radical Nationalist Parties and Movements in Contemporary Ukraine Before and After Independence: the Right and Its Politics, 1989-1994
    Nationalities Papers, Vol. 25, No. 2, 1997 RADICAL NATIONALIST PARTIES AND MOVEMENTS IN CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE BEFORE AND AFTER INDEPENDENCE: THE RIGHT AND ITS POLITICS, 1989-1994 Taras Kuzio Introduction The radical right in the Ukrainian political spectrum is dominated by three move- ments—the Nationalist Union Ukrainian State Independence (DSU), the Ukrainian National Assembly (UNA, formerly the Ukrainian Inter-Party Assembly, UMPA) and the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists (KUN). The UNA is dominated by the highly secretive Ukrainian Nationalist Union (UNS) which grew out of the national- ist wing of the Association of Independent Ukrainian Youth (SNUM). The KUN was launched in 1992 in Ukraine as the overt arm of the emigre Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists-Bandera faction (known commonly as OUN revolutionaries, or OUNr). Other organisations, such as SNUM and the more radical eastern Ukrainian-based Association of Ukrainian Youth (SUM), increasingly adopted "revolutionary nationalism" as their ideology in 1990-1991, with nationalists propagating a "youth cult" to attract the younger generation (both for members and intellectual support).1 It is also often pointed out that Ukrainian nationalism will have a large appeal among the youth of tomorrow.2 Other nationalist groups, though smaller, have also emerged, such as the Ukrainian National-Radical Party (UNRP) and the Organisation for the Liberation of Ukraine,3 but they have remained largely insignificant. The UNRP was established at the end of 1990 in L'viv, joined the Ukrainian Inter-Party Assembly (UMPA) but remained underground. Its leader, Mykhailo Stasiuk, launched the nationalist and widely read journal Derzhavnist in 1991, claiming the highly inflated membership figure of 500 members.4 The Ukrainian National Party (UNP) and the Ukrainian People's Democratic Party (UNDP), the founders of the UMPA, amalga- mated into the Ukrainian National Conservative Party (UNKP) in 1992.

  • Ukrainian Anti-Colonialist Marxism (1919–1923). a Forgotten Legacy in a Forgotten Colony
    Stephen Velychenko Ukrainian Anti-Colonialist Marxism (1919–1923). A Forgotten Legacy in a Forgotten Colony Степан Величенко Український антиколоніальний марксизм (1919–1923). забута спадщина у забутій колонії Українці, над якими панувала Росія, зазнали насильницького геноцидального удару російського універсалістського просвітницького раціоналізму. Відповідно, вони мали традицію антиколоніальної думки, як і всі народи, що пережили модернізацію через пригноблення. Ця стаття узагальнює українську антиколоніальну марксистську критику російського царського та більшовицького правління як корпус текстів, що повинні бути уведені в сучасні дискусії про колоніалізм і його спадщину. Стаття стверджує, що українських марксистських антиколоніальних мислителів, що поєд- нували марксизм із націоналізмом для легітимації національного визволення, можна поставити поруч Амількара Кабрала, Тана Малака, Франца Фанона та Еме Сезера. Ці українці звинувачували російських більшовиків у тому, що вони вторглися в Укра- їну у 1918–1919, викривили власну місцеву революцію та радше накидали, аніж де- монтували імперські структури панування. як комуністи, вони вели війну проти російських товаришів за 60 років до того, як це робив Китай. Introduction Anti-colonialism normally refers to the socialist/Marxist nationalism that emerged in Africa and Asia. It is not a theory or methodology, nor is it coterminous with postcolo- nialism. As an attitude or politics, anti-colonialism was created by natives in peripheries. Postcolonialism is the product of émigrés in American
