  • Ukrainianization, Terror and Famine: Coverage in Lviv's Dilo and The
    1 Author's Accepted Manuscript of an article published in Nationalities Papers: The Journal of Nationalism and Ethnicity 40.3 (2012): 431-52. Available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com. Ukrainianization, terror and famine: coverage in Lviv’s Dilo and the nationalist press of the 1930s Myroslav Shkandrij The years 1932-34 were a turning point in Soviet Ukraine. Ukrainian nationalism was declared the “greatest danger,” replacing Russian great-power chauvinism which had held this distinction since the Twelfth Congress of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolshevik) in 1923. Pavel Postyshev arrived from Moscow to implement the new line, which was that Ukrainianization had hitherto been a “Petliurite” operation aimed at developing a national culture and state, instead of being a tool for bolshevization (See Martin 356, 362-68). Sweeping arrests and show trials were conducted in order to intimidate those who were conducting Ukrainianization and to make the republic completely subservient to the party centre in Moscow. By the late thirties, korenizatsiia (the policy of rooting bolshevik rule in local populations) was seen as best done through Russification, and not through cooperation with supporters of a national renaissance that, in Stalin’s view, had interfered with the strengthening of bolshevik power (Iefimenko 13). After gaining control of the party and crushing the Ukrainian peasantry, Stalin began undermining Ukrainianization by linking it to nationalism and the disasters of collectivization. An incorrect, “Petliurite” Ukrainianization, it was pronounced, had stimulated resistance to party policies, caused shortages in grain-requisitioning and led to revolts. The Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party stated on December 14, 1932, that a lack of “bolshevik vigilance” had allowed “the twisting of the party line” (Ibid.

  • Polish-Ukrainian Conflict Over Eastern Galicia | International Encyclopedia
    Version 1.0 | Last updated 08 October 2014 Polish-Ukrainian Conflict over Eastern Galicia By Oksana Dudko The Polish-Ukrainian conflict over Eastern Galicia in 1918-19 refers to an armed conflict between Poland and the West Ukrainian National Republic (Zakhidnoukrayins’ka Narodna Respublika, ZUNR). It took place largely on the territory of Eastern Galicia between 1 November 1918 and 17 July 1919. Table of Contents 1 Grounds for Conflict and Combatants’ Positions 2 Street Fighting in Lemberg 3 Battles in Eastern Galicia 4 Short- and Long-Term Consequences of the Conflict 5 A War of Memories Selected Bibliography Citation Grounds for Conflict and Combatants’ Positions The eastern portion of Galicia – the largest province within the Austro-Hungarian Empire – served as the principal setting for the conflict. In the countryside, ethnic Ukrainians were in the majority, whereas in Lemberg (Lviv/Lwów) and the surrounding towns they formed the minority. Before the war, ethnic Poles were the largest ethnic group in Lemberg proper; Jews comprised the second largest group, totaling more than 30 percent of city residents. Ukrainians formed the third largest group with 18 percent. With the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy on 16 October 1918, Charles I, Emperor of Austria (1887-1922) issued a proclamation granting autonomy to nations within the Empire. Both Poles and Ukrainians accordingly began to formulate plans to take control of Eastern Galicia, with the objective of establishing national rule. On 19 October 1918, the Ukrainian side formed a Ukrainian National Rada (Council) which announced its intention to establish an independent state on the territory of Eastern Galicia extending to the San River.
