This year’s lecture was held on February 15, 2018 in the Shannon Library, St. Thomas More College. The event and accompanying re- ception was hosted by the PCUH and co-sponsored by the Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Saskatchewan Provincial Council. The talk, entitled One Hundred Years of Modern Ukrainian Statehood, marked the centenary of the independence declaration by the Ukrainian People’s Republic’s (UNR). The declaration broke ties with Russia while establishing a modern demo- cratic Ukrainian state. Prof. Yekelchyk spoke about the significance of this historic event as a continuation of a longer historical tradition of Ukrainian statehood. He discussed the ways in which the proclamation and the UNR influenced twentieth- Dr. Serhy Yekelchuk, U of Victoria, the 2018 Mohlya lecturer century struggles for a free and independent Ukraine and whether the current con- flict with Russia is a replay of the “hybrid war” the Bolsheviks conducted against the UNR in 1918.

  • Becoming Soviet: Lost Cultural Alternatives In
    BECOMING SOVIET: LOST CULTURAL ALTERNATIVES IN UKRAINE, 1917-1933 Olena Palko, MA, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History December 2016© ‘This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition any quotation or extract must include full attribution.’ Abstract This doctoral thesis investigates the complex and multi-faceted process of the cultural sovietisation of Ukraine. The study argues that different political and cultural projects of a Soviet Ukraine were put to the test during the 1920s. These projects were developed and executed by representatives of two ideological factions within the Communist Party of Bolsheviks of Ukraine: one originating in the pre-war Ukrainian socialist and communist movements, and another with a clear centripetal orientation towards Moscow. The representatives of these two ideological horizons endorsed different approaches to defining Soviet culture. The unified Soviet canon in Ukraine was an amalgamation of at least two different Soviet cultural projects: Soviet Ukrainian culture and Soviet culture in the Ukrainian language. These two visions of Soviet culture are examined through a biographical study of two literary protagonists: the Ukrainian poet Pavlo Tychyna (1891-1967) and the writer Mykola Khvyl'ovyi (1893-1933). Overall, three equally important components, contributing to Ukraine’s sovietisation, are discussed: the power struggle among the Ukrainian communist elites; the manipulation of the tastes and expectations of the audience; and the ideological and aesthetic evolution of Ukraine’s writers in view of the first two components.

  • The Ukrainian Canadian Left, Theatre, and Propaganda in the 1920S Kassandra Luciuk
    Labour / Le Travail ISSUE 83 (2019) ISSN: 1911-4842 ARTICLE More Dangerous Than Many a Pamphlet or Propaganda Book: The Ukrainian Canadian Left, Theatre, and Propaganda in the 1920s Kassandra Luciuk On 25 November 1922, the Winnipeg branch of the Ukrainian Labour Farmer Temple Association (ulfta) performed Yak Svit Povernuvsya Dorohy Nohamy (How the world went upside down), a play based on the Bolshevik Revolution. In the crowd, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (rcmp) agent watched closely, committing to memory both the contents of the play and the reactions of the crowd. Afterwards, in a report to R. S. Knight, command- ing officer of the Manitoba District, he conveyed his deep malaise over the night’s proceedings. The officer was concerned with the play’s final act, which displayed a post-revolutionary, Soviet society. Priests and noblemen had been demoted to drudges, ordinary citizens were giving orders, and red flag–waving children had abandoned school to sing “The Internationale” in the streets. The officer was also troubled by the play’s overwhelmingly positive recep- tion and requests from the crowd to repeat the show across the country. “The above show, although a comedy,” wrote the officer, “was a very revolutionary propaganda show. I consider [it] more dangerous than many a pamphlet or propaganda book, because the latter appeals to the mind, and the former to the eye. When the mind cannot agree quickly with the idea of a book,” he mused, “the eye appeals sooner.” Despite the officer’s unease, there was a silver lining: the play had been performed in Ukrainian.

  • 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.

  • Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies
    Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies Series Editors Andrew Hoskins University of Glasgow Glasgow, UK John Sutton Department of Cognitive Science Macquarie University Macquarie, Australia The nascent feld of Memory Studies emerges from contemporary trends that include a shift from concern with historical knowledge of events to that of memory, from ‘what we know’ to ‘how we remember it’; changes in generational memory; the rapid advance of technologies of memory; panics over declining powers of memory, which mirror our fascination with the possibilities of memory enhancement; and the development of trauma narratives in reshaping the past. These factors have contrib- uted to an intensifcation of public discourses on our past over the last thirty years. Technological, political, interpersonal, social and cultural shifts affect what, how and why people and societies remember and for- get. This groundbreaking new series tackles questions such as: What is ‘memory’ under these conditions? What are its prospects, and also the prospects for its interdisciplinary and systematic study? What are the con- ceptual, theoretical and methodological tools for its investigation and illumination?
