PRYMAK DmytroIvano vych Doroshenko (1882-1951) was undoubtedlythe mostim- portantand prolificUkrainian émigré historian of the twentiethcentury. He madesignificant, indeed, sometimes irreplaceable contributions in thefields of biography,historiography, contemporary history, historical synthesis, bibliography,and memoirwriting, and was a majorspokesman for the new "statistschool'* of Ukrainian historiography, which stressed Ukrainian strivings forstatehood throughout the centuries. Writing during the 1920s and 1930s- thatis, ata timewhen the "Ukrainian question" was just beginning to attractthe attentionof theWestern public and thevery name "Ukraine" was little-known amongWestern scholars - Doroshenkopopularized Ukrainian history in works publishedin German,English, Czech, Polish,Russian, French, Italian, and Swedish,as well as in Ukrainian.If a completebibliography of his published workswere compiled, it would,perhaps, list close to a thousandtitles.1 Early Life Doroshenkowas borninto an old Ukrainianfamily that during the seventeenth centuryhad givenUkraine two distinguished Cossack hetmans. He was raised by his Ukrainophilefather in a patrioticspirit, and fromhis earlydays at the universitiesin Warsawand St. Petersburgparticipated in Ukrainianstudent activitiesand social and cultural life. He had a quiet,gentlemanly manner and a distastefor both personal and politicalconflicts. These characteristics,com- bined witha sinceredevotion to scholarship,made him a productiveand successfulwriter and academic.2 From 1899, Doroshenko's firstpublications appeared in the journal Literaturno-naukovyivistnyk, which was publishedin AustrianGalicia, where, HarvardUkrainian Studies XXV (1/2)2001: 31-56.

The firstof these was heldup by theauthorities for several months and lost abouta thirdof its materialto the Russiancensor's red pencil.It was, nevertheless,the firstpublication of its kindin manyyears and was an indicationof Doroshenko's laterinterests in bibliographyand historiography.3 Duringthe first years of thetwentieth century, young Doroshenko' s politi- cal convictionswere somewhat contradictory. He workedwith the more cau- tiousolder generation of Ukrainian cultural activists, where his real sympathies seemedto lie, but seeminglyout of the necessityof contactwith the main- streamof his own generation,he also joined theillegal Revolutionary Ukrai- nianParty (RUP) whosesupporters were generally very young. As a member ofRUP's "NorthernCommittee" he helpedsmuggle Ukrainian-language books fromGalicia into Russia by wayof autonomousFinland.4 The revolutionof 1905-1907 forceddemocratic and nationalconcessions froma reluctantRussian imperialgovernment, and an elected Duma was granted.In Ukrainethe ban on publicationsin theUkrainian language, which had been in effectsince 1863 and strengthenedin 1876, was suspended. Doroshenkoimmediately threw himself into cultural work in thisfield, pub- lishingin journals,newspapers, and magazinesin Kyiv,St. Petersburg,and elsewhere.His contributionsto the Kyiv dailypaper Rada wereparticularly extensive. Duringthe followingyears, Doroshenko studied history under Mytrofan Dovnar-ZapolsTcyi(Mitrofan Doünar-Zaporskii) at the Universityof Kyiv, joined the moderate Society of Ukrainian Progressives (Tovarystvo UkrainsicykhPostupovtsiv, or TUP), and editedthe Ukrainian-language jour- nal ofthe newly founded Zapysky Ukraïns'koho naukovoho tovarystva (Annals of theUkrainian Scientific Society), which was headedby thefamous Ukrai- nian historianMykhailo HrushevsTcyi. Upon graduatingin historyfrom the Universityof Kyivin 1909,Doroshenko was unableto findpedagogical work in Kyiv because of thereactionary and anti-Ukrainiancharacter of the local administration;thus he movedto Katerynoslav(today Dnipropetrovsk) where he became closelyassociated with the UkrainianCossack historianDmytro IavornytsTcyi.He edited a local newspaperand participatedin the local Prosvita(Enlightenment) society for the peasantry. Duringthese same years, Doroshenko came intocontact with the conserva- tivehistorian V'iacheslav LypynsTcyi (Waclaw Lipiñski),who was of Polish This content downloaded from 128.42.202.150 on Tue, 14 Apr 2015 01:02:14 UTC All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions DMYTRODOROSHENKO 33 originfrom Right-Bank Ukraine and was elaboratinga theory of how "Ukraini- ans of Polishculture" could remainloyal to an independentUkrainian state based on territoryrather than ethnicity. LypynsTcyi's ideas aboutthe leading roleof theélite (the szlachta [gentry] and theCossack officerclass) in Ukrai- nian historyand the strivingsof thisélite forindependent statehood had a powerfuleffect upon Doroshenko.The two men became fast friendsand remainedin contactwith each otheruntil LypynsTcyi's untimely death from tuberculosisin 1931.5 Duringthe the FirstWorld War Doroshenkowas activein the Union of Citiesand other social and charitable organizations that had a moderateliberal- democraticcharacter. With the coming of therevolution, he was elevatedto highadministrative positions in Kyivand elsewhere, and for a timein 1917 the RussianProvisional Government appointed him Commissar for the Russian- occupiedparts of Galicia and Bukovina- areaspopulated primarily by ethnic Ukrainians.When TUP was transformedinto the moderate Ukrainian Party of Socialist-Federalists,Doroshenko remained loyal to it, but as the revolution grewmore radical, he heldback and began a turnto theright. He filledseveral importantposts in the government of the radical and socialist Ukrainian Central Rada,but he was veryunhappy with the general swing to theleft and, when the Rada and theUkrainian People's Republicestablished by it wereoverthrown byHetmán Pavio SkoropadsTcyiin a conservativecoup, Doroshenko supported the actionand was namedMinister of ForeignAffairs in the Skoropadsicyi regime.His ideologicalmentor LypynsTcyi served as hisambassador to Vienna. Doroshenkorepresented the Ukrainian national tendency in theSkoropadsTcyi government,which had a generallypro-Russian orientation; he had theheavy responsibilityof maintainingsmooth relations with Germany, which protected and supportedthe Hetmán. This positioninvolved the contradictory balancing of pro-Russian,pro-German, and Ukrainiannational interests. In theend the taskproved impossible, and withinless thana year- thatis, shortlybefore SkoropadsTcyiwas overthrownby popular national-democraticforces - Doroshenkoretired from politics. He taughtbriefly at thenew Ukrainian State Universityof Kam'ianets'-Podil's'kyi(1919), andthen went into exile.6 Emigration Duringhis early days in emigration,Doroshenko retained his personal connec- tionswith SkoropadsTcyi (who residedin Berlinon a Germangovernment pension)and LypynsTcyi(who residedin Vienna); he contributedto various publicationssponsored by theHetmanite or monarchistmovement and fora brieftime edited its weeklypaper Ukràins'keslovo, which was publishedin This content downloaded from 128.42.202.150 on Tue, 14 Apr 2015 01:02:14 UTC All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions 34 PRYMAK Berlinfrom 1921 to 1924.7Throughout the 1920s,he changedhis place of residenceseveral times and oftentravelled back and forthbetween Berlin and Prague.In thelatter city, the Czech government,which had welcomedSlavic refugeesfrom Russia and Ukraine, financially supported the newly established UkrainianFree University with which Doroshenko became closely associated. He also taughtUkrainian history for a whileat CharlesUniversity. During this earlyperiod in emigration,Doroshenko was amazinglyproductive. In theearly 1920s he publisheda whole series of biographiesof importantUkrainian culturalleaders of thenineteenth century; he produceda generalwork on the nationalawakenings among the Slavic peoples; he pennedthe important- indeed,unique - Ohliadukraïns'koï istoriohrafiï (Survey of Ukrainian

  • Canadian Historiography of Modern Ukraine, EWJUS, Vol. 5, No. 1, 2018
    Studying the Blueprint for a Nation: Canadian Historiography of Modern Ukraine Serhy Yekelchyk University of Victoria Abstract: This article discusses the development of a Canadian historiography of modern Ukraine. It argues that the early focus on Ukrainian nation building determined the range of topics that interested Canadian historians, but over the following years their methodology changed significantly. The development of social history provided indispensable tools for in-depth analysis of the Ukrainian national movement. The subsequent development of a new cultural history, post-colonial studies, and the “linguistic turn” allowed for a more subtle analysis of the Ukrainian patriotic discourse and practice. New scholarship focusing on the ambiguities of imperial projects and the everyday life allowed for a re-evaluation of the traditional emphasis on the national intelligentsia’s organic work. Because of its focus on the making of a modern Ukrainian nation, beginning in the 1990s Canadian historiography was well positioned to assist in the transformation of Ukrainian historical scholarship from Soviet models to new theoretical and methodological foundations. This often meant helping Ukrainian colleagues to revise the very “national paradigm” of history writing that early Canadian historians had helped develop. In the decades after an independent Ukraine emerged in 1991, the study of Ukrainian nation building became an increasingly global and collaborative enterprise, with historians from Ukraine studying and working in Canada, and with conferences on topics related to modern Ukrainian history involving scholars from around the world. Keywords: modern Ukraine, Canada, historiography, nation building, national movement. hen the Ukrainian-Canadian historian Orest Subtelny passed away in 2016, the prominent Ukrainian journalist Vitalii Portnikov wrote W that Subtelny’s Ukraine: A History “gave us Ukraine.

The two schools of study which have so far dominated discussion of the subject, the Soviet and the Ukrainian National, have failed to produce a balanced history of events or follow the recent progress made in studies of the Russian peasantry. The work studies events from a village-level perspective and is based on records from peasant meetings and local government institutions, gathered from recently declassified fonds in Ukrainian and Russian archives. The thesis begins by considering the roots of the region’s economic and political diversity and their effect on peasant society before 1917.

  • ESSAY: Ukrainian Immigrant Theatre 1904-1923
    ESSAY: Ukrainian Immigrant Theatre 1904-1923 From the turn of the twentieth century immigrant theatre played a central role in the life of Winnipeg's Ukrainian community. As the historian Robert Harney pointed out many years ago, immigrant theatre, more than any other institution, served to "affirm the existence of ethnic community." By performing in or simply by attending Ukrainian plays staged by Ukrainian drama societies, immigrants acknowledged and celebrated their common cultural inheritance, and asserted their membership in the Ukrainian community. In addition to providing entertainment and quenching the immigrants' nostalgia for the homeland, immigrant theatre was also "an effective vehicle for patriotic, ideological and moral education for those who wished to influence immigrant communities." Even illiterate, uneducated and physically exhausted immigrants could be instructed and influenced through plays with simple and direct plots. In an era before radio, television and motion pictures, the theatre monopolized the immigrant imagination, helped to shape popular opinion, and was utilized by those with cultural, religious and political agendas to advance various causes and reform programs. The First Drama Societies The first Ukrainian amateur theatrical performance in Winnipeg, a production of Hryhorii Tsehlynsky's comedy Argonavty (The Argonauts), took place on 14 May 1904. Directed by Ivan Antoniuk and featuring Apolinarii Novak, Dmytro Kyrstiuk and Jacob Makohin in the lead roles, it was staged at the Taras Shevchenko Reading Club, which was located in Cyril Genik's home at 109 Euclid Avenue (formerly the Ashdown residence). Produced by young radicals who were challenging the traditional authority of the Ukrainian Catholic clergy, the play satirized the efforts of Ukrainian Catholic theology graduates in Eastern Galicia to find wealthy brides prior to their ordination into the priesthood.
