Museums and Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity Christi Anne Hofland a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfi
Institutions of Activism: Museums and Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity Christi Anne Hofland A thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of The Master of Arts in International Studies: Russian, East European, and Central Asian Studies University of Washington 2015 Committee: Laada Bilaniuk Arista Cirtautas Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Jackson School of International Studies ©Copyright 2015 Christi Anne Hofland Hofland University of Washington Abstract Institutions of Activism: Museums and Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity Christi Anne Hofland Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Laada Bilaniuk Anthropology Amidst unprecedented protests over the winter of 2013-2014, many museums in Ukraine transformed from Soviet era hold-overs to active civil society participants who discovered that they could use their unique circumstances to position themselves at the forefront of societal development. While art, creativity, and play are typically part of the repertoire of protesters in social movements, Euromaidan presents an unusual dynamic in that the participants using art and culture were not only individual protesters, but also institutions, such as museums. They responded by collecting artifacts, creating exhibits during and after the protests, organizing programs for creative engagement and response, and even offering hot tea and power outlets to protesters. Ongoing museum efforts include a discussion of how the protests will be remembered – how can a permanent record be presented in a way that is engaging and responsive: how can such a record be designed to serve community needs, strengthen community ties, energize citizens, make the difficult topics more digestible, and ultimately, become a center for empowerment and societal development? Regardless of how the official Museum of Maidan manifests, Ukraine’s museums are becoming examples of what it means to be responsive in crisis, to engage visitors creatively, and to include the community in developing a collective memory narrative. -

Europe and the West undertook virtually no action to prevent these events and protect Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty. In 1931, at the time of the Stalin-orchestrated famine-genocide in Ukraine, the Ukrainian poet Oleksandr Oles' wrote "Remembrance", lamenting the deaths in Ukraine and pleading for help. I copied his poem onto the surface of accrued collaged reports of the latest Russian aggressions. Each stanza ends with the refrain "And Europe was silent", mournfully echoing Ukraine's plight today. Map of Ukraine I am Ukrainian-American, a child of World War II refugees from Ukraine. Like many Americans, I am defined by two cultures – that of my displaced Ukrainian family, and that of the U.S.A where I was born, raised, and continue to live and work. Two trips to Ukraine were pivotal turning points for me in my Notes: #3 creative work and world view. Map of Ukraine - In 1991, I visited Ukraine for the first time. In the cities of L’viv and Kyiv, the capital, I saw the destructive vestiges of the Soviet regime, but also witnessed the beginnings of a national reclamation . -

Holodomor: a Remembrance
Holodomor: A Remembrance 87th Anniversary of the Holodomor Genocide in Ukraine Art by Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak November 2020 About the Holodomor and Exhibition The month of November is a somber time for Ukrainians around the world as they commemorate the 1932-33 famine-genocide – Holodomor. Murder by starvation is the literal translation from Ukrainian and depicts the horror inflicted by Stalin and his government officials on men, women and children in a deliberate political policy of extermination. This was not a famine caused by natural factors – food was available. Yet Stalin ordered that all foodstuff and grain be expropriated in order to carry out rapid industrialization and to destroy the will of a nationally conscious Ukrainian peasantry. Millions of Ukrainians died of starvation while millions more were victims of Stalin’s bloody years of purges and repressions. This year marks the 87th anniversary of this tragedy, occurring at a time when people worldwide are suffering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with thousands dying and falling ill. Even in the midst of these very difficult times, the horrors of the past cannot be forgotten. To honor the victims of the Holodomor, a virtual slideshow depicting 26 mixed- media artworks of Houston-based Ukrainian-American artist Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak, replaces an on-site exhibit. The artworks featured are striking, compelling and filled with an anguish that roots viewers even if one wishes to avert their eyes. This is precisely the artist’s intent – we must look in order to honor the victims and to acknowledge the past so that we can move on. -
HOLODOMOR the Great Man-Made Famine in Ukraine 1932-1933
In 1932-1933, while the Soviet government sold massive quantities of Ukrainian grain to foreign markets, some 7 million Ukrainian men, women, and children starved to death. This deliberate attempt to crush the Ukrainian people by means of a man-made famine has become known as HOLODOMOR The Great Man-Made Famine in Ukraine 1932-1933 Presented at the United Nations, New York City, November 10-30, 2003 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Famine This exhibition was organized by The Ukrainian Museum in New York City on behalf of the Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the United Nations. HOLODOMOR Famine by Decree of Stalin's Totalitarian Regime he prologue to the tragedy known as the HOLODOMOR — the Great Man-Made Famine in Ukraine of 1932–1933 — was Joseph Stalin’s T decision to collectivize the agriculture, which, he hoped, would not only feed the industrial workers in the cities but also provide a substantial amount of grain to be sold abroad, with the money used to finance his industrialization plans. Since the farmers, known for their independence, refused to join the collective farms, Stalin decided to “liquidate them as a class.” The process of “liquida- tion” reached a high point in the winter of 1929-1930 when hundreds of thou- sands were expropriated, dragged from their homes, packed into freight trains, and shipped to the far north where they were dumped in the arctic, often with- out food or shelter. By the beginning of the 1930s the totalitarian regime had seized more than 1 million Ukrainian peasants and deported more than 850,000 to the north, where many perished. -

Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Who Owns the Scythian Gold? The Legal and Moral Implications of Ukraine and Crimea’s Cultural Dispute Maria Nudelman Abstract This Note analyzes respective legal arguments that Ukraine and the Crimean museums can make to prove ownership of the objects. Part I establishes several elements key to the subsequent discussion, including the political and historical background of this dispute, the relevant laws on a national and international level, and the role of ethics and morality in the field of cultural heritage laws generally. Part II will consider relevant cultural heritage case studies, including treaties that divided cultural property after countries broke apart, the Thailand-Cambodian border dispute and the temple of Preah Vihear, and cases involving Soviet nationalized art. Past case studies can provide examples of how countries solved cultural heritage disputes that contained similar elements to this Ukraine-Crimea dispute. Finally, Part III analyzes the legal arguments that are available to both Ukraine and the Crimean museums within the context of the Ukrainian laws, international conventions, and case studies discussed in Parts I and II. This Note argues that although the artifacts should be returned to the Crimean museums for moral reasons, the law as it stands does not support this position. -

The emergence of these institutions marks a shift from a post-Soviet system of cultural management to an approach that today bridges the gap between state and independent cultural actors, and that has solidified a new sense of civic national identity. — Under pressure from civil society, the Ukrainian state has adopted a more consistent and comprehensive approach towards cultural policy, overcoming decades of official distrust towards cultural activists and the creative community. A broad consensus around key elements of reform has developed, which has included support for the principles of open access to state resources, evidence-based policies, the separation of policymaking from implementation, and the competitive selection of state cultural managers. — In response to Russia’s military interventions in 2014, Ukraine’s cultural and creative sectors promoted national unity and sought to counteract the divisive effects of Russian cultural influence in the country. -
