    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.

  • Ukraine Backtracks on Democracy Yulia Tymoshenko Was Probably in the Headlines More Than Anyone in Ukraine During 2011
    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 2012 5 2011: THE YEAR IN REVIEW Ukraine backtracks on democracy Yulia Tymoshenko was probably in the headlines more than anyone in Ukraine during 2011. Her prosecution was seen by Western observers as serious evidence that criminal cases in Ukraine under the Yanukovych regime – both of high-profile defendants, as well as rights activists, journalists and political opponents – are politically motivated. And, it was one of the most salient examples of how Ukraine’s new leaders had backtracked on democracy and rule of law. Our first story of the year from Ukraine, published on January 2, reported that the administration of President Viktor Yanukovych was targeting former Internal Affairs Minister Yurii Lutsenko (who had been arrested on December 26, 2010, and charged the next day with ground- lessly extending the term of tracking a suspect in the Viktor Yushchenko poisoning case – a procedural violation he alleg- edly committed as Ukraine’s top police official) and other allies of former Prime Minister Tymoshenko as part of a wide-ranging campaign against the opposition. Ms. Tymoshenko herself was charged with abuse of office during her term as prime minister in 2007-2010. Western leaders saw the case as politically motivated, and European Union Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule warned President Yanukoyvch during their January 11 meeting in Kyiv of “the need to ensure that criminal law is not used for UNIAN/Aleksandr Prokopenko political ends and that the principles of a fair, impartial and National deputies representing opposition forces in the Verkhovna Rada on September 6 unfurled a banner bear- independent process are fully respected.” Developments dur- ing the likeness of Yulia Tymoshenko and reading: “No to political repressions” and “Freedom for Ukraine.” ing the year only exacerbated Western concerns.
