Mr. Neskoromnyi, a former SBU colonel, allegedly plotted the assassination with currently serving Col. Yuriy Rasiuk of the SBU’s Alpha anti-terrorist unit. The alleged target was 38-year-old Brig.

The paper suggests a twofold imagological1 analysis in order to answer how the second generation of Ukrainian immigrants in Great Britain (children of the post-WWII political migration) perceives, the Ukrainian newcomer, the economic immigrant from a post-communist state, who looks strange and other for them and how the reader, in his turn, perceives the Ukrainianness of the first and the second. It also underlines that Marina Lewycka infuses the Ukrainian history (past and modern) with a unique sense of humour based on cultural varieties. Her English-Ukrainian and Ukrainian-English characters are observed from different perspectives. Key words: imagological analysis, Ukrainian migration in Great Britain, Ukrainian history, post- communism, assimilation In her first published book, with an ironically attractive title, A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian (2005)2 Marina Lewycka (1946 -) created a female type of Lucky Jim in the new European realities: a dexterous, blazingly beautiful, smart, impudent and vulgar divorcee from a poor country who makes plans for 1 On imagology, auto-images and hetero-images see: Imagology: The Cultural Construction and Literary Representation of National Characters: a Critical Survey, ed. by Manfred Beller, Joseph Theodoor Leerssen, Amsterdam, New York: Rodopi 2007, pp.

  • Literary History Conceptions of B
    Journal of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University 92 Stepan Khorob http://jpnu.pu.if.ua Vol. 6, No. 2 (2019), 92-98 UDC 82(091):821.161.2 doi: 10.15330/jpnu.6.2.92-98 LITERARY HISTORY CONCEPTIONS OF B. LEPKY STEPAN KHOROB Abstract: The article addresses the issue of the methodological conceptualism developed by Ukrainian literary historian Bohdan Lepky. The analysis proves that his textbook Nacherk istorii ukrainskoi literatury (An Essay on the History of Ukrainian Literature) retains its literary value and its place among the textbooks and study guides published in the first half of the 20th century. Keywords: B. Lepky, national writings, methodology, conceptions, history of Ukrainian literature. It appears that until recently, only literary critics have been able to discuss the activity of Bohdan Lepky as a historian of Ukrainian national literature. And it does not look as if it had been their main scientific interest (see the literary critical essays of Zenon Kuzela, Vasyl Simovych, Mykola Ilnytskyi, Roman Hromiak, Volodymyr Kachkan; and the general critical reviews of Mykola Yevshan, Bohdan Romanenchuk, Marian Kozak, Mykhailo Naienko, Oleksa Myshanych). The scholars who studied Bohdan Lepky’s literary-historical legacy often made references to the works of Ivan Franko, Dmytro Chyzhevsky, Mykhailo Vozniak, Yevhen Pelenskyi; the latter discussed, in one way or another, the factor of methodological conceptualism in the history of Ukrainian literature. Yet the methodological conceptions of Bohdan Lepky as a historian of Ukrainian literature have not been studied comprehensively. Now, in the light of researches carried out by national literary critics and diaspora scholars (Serhiy Yefremov, Mykola Zerov, Pavlo Fylypovych, Dmytro Chyzhevsky, Leonid Biletsky, Mykola Hnatyshak, Yevhen Pelenskyi, Marian Jakóbiec), the importance of this aspect of Bohdan Lepky’s activity has become evident; it is clear that the study of his methodological instruments requires a new approach.

  • The Ambiguities of Soviet “Piedmonts”: Soviet Borderland
    THE AMBIGUITIES OF SOVIET “PIEDMONTS”: SOVIET BORDERLAND POLICIES IN THE UKRAINIAN SSR AND THE MOLDOVAN ASSR, 1922-1934 Alexandr Voronovici A DISSERTATION in History Presented to the Faculties of the Central European University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Budapest, Hungary 2016 CEU eTD Collection Supervisor: Professor Alexei Miller ii Copyright in the text of this dissertation rests with the author.

Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. I hereby declare that this dissertation contains no materials accepted for any other degrees and no materials previously written and/or published by another person unless otherwise noted. CEU eTD Collection iii Abstract The dissertation analyzes Soviet borderland policies in the Ukrainian SSR and the Moldovan ASSR in the 1920s and early 1930s. Adopting the situational approach, I explore the Soviet struggle for borderlands on the Western border and the role of the cross-border cultural ties in it. The dissertation argues that the negotiations, different interpretations and the interplay between actors on both sides of the Soviet Western border influenced and framed the evolution of borderland policies in the Ukrainian SSR and the Moldovan ASSR in 1920s. Although, the Soviet Union was a centralized state with a disciplined party, there was still considerable space for conflicting interpretations of Moscow's directives and the promotion of personal agenda by Soviet leaders and activists.

THE SOCIETY OF UKRAINIAN PROGRESSIVES AND THE KIEV CLUB OF RUSSIAN NATIONALISTS (1908- 1914) By Olha Martynyuk Submitted to Central European University History Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Supervisor: Professor Alexei Miller Second Reader: Professor Marsha Siefert CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2010 Copyright Notice Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This thesis deals with the interaction between Russian and Ukrainian nationalists in Kiev during 1908-1914. Two rivaling groups, The Kiev Club of Russian Nationalists and the Society of Ukrainian Progressives, shaped their national projects in the process of debate, which took place on the pages of their press and other printed editions. The political, social and cultural agendas of these groups are discussed at length in a comparative manner. The ways in which they were formed and delivered to the public are intended to show the strategies of national activists at state and regional levels. The work challenges a tradition of viewing the nationality policy of Late imperial Russia as uniformly repressive, approaching its social processes in terms of disintegration, and depicting it as a history of separate ethnic communities.
