Feliksa Dzierzynskiego (Feliks Dzierzynski Military Political Academy), Warsaw WUPR West Ukrainian People’s Republic (Zakhidno-ukrainska narodnia respublyka, ZUNR) Introduction At the end of the First World War Ukrainians were divided among the new states forming in East Central Europe: Poland, Czechoslovakia and an enlarged Romania. To varying degrees in each of these states, the Ukrainians were caught up in a revolutionary ferment, which, engendered by the powerful impact of events in Dnieper Ukraine, expressed deep-seated, and often conflicting, national and social aspirations. On both their ethnic territory and abroad, Ukrainians began to demand their rights. With the February Revolution in Russia, the Ukrainian question became an increasingly important issue in international politics, debated at the time of bilateral treaties (e.g., Brest Litovsk), during the negotiations of the Versailles treaty, on numerous occasions in the League of Nations, and in both the Communist International and Socialist Workers’ International. Outside Soviet territory, the Ukrainian problem was most salient in Poland. In the interwar period it was the subject of heated controversy. Contemporary historians, however, have given little attention to this subject. There has been hardly any work on the significance of the Ukrainian question and the Ukrainian Communist movement for the history of the Polish revolutionary left. Yet, unless one is familiar with the problems of the Communist Party of Western Ukraine (CPWU) and its early history, it is impossible to understand many aspects of the Polish Communist movement. It is especially difficult to appreciate fully the posi¬ tions taken by the Polish party on a number of fundamental political prob¬ lems of interwar Poland, particularly the national question. The CPWU was in the beginning a strong, relatively independent formative influence on Communist political thought in Poland. Historians deliberately stayed clear of the CPWU. The rehabilitation accorded the Communist Party of Poland (CPP) and its affiliated organizations in 1956 was not extended to the West Ukrainian party xiv Communist Party of Western Ukraine because of the openly oppositionist stance of its leadership toward the Comintern in the late 1920s. Full rehabilitation came only in 1963 with the publication of an article in the central organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) entitled “Za pravilnoe osveshchenie istorii Kommunisticheskoi partii Zapadnoi Ukrainy,” Kommunist, no. 10 (1963). Before 1963, Soviet historical works on West Ukrainian Communism were characterized by “depersonification”; they were chronicles of events rather than party history. One interesting work, however, was Mykola Kravets’ Narysy robitnychoho rukhu v Zakhidnii Ukraini v 1921-1939 (Kiev, 1959). Kravets described both the working-class movement (strikes, mass demonstrations) and the party (dates of conferences and congresses, excerpts from some resolutions). He omitted, however, not only the disputes and conflicts, but the internal life of the party as a whole. Several other works on the revolutionary movement in Western Ukraine dealt with the party minimally, neglecting its relations with the CPP, and failing to mention that the CPWU was an affiliate organization of the Polish party. After the appearance of the rehabilitating articles in Kommunist, the Soviet scholar Ievhen Halushko published Narysy ideolohichnoi ta orhanizatsiinoi diialnosti KPZU, 1918-1928 (Lviv, 1965), for its time one of the best monographs on the CPWU. I discussed it at length in the quarterly Z pola walki, no. 4 (1966): 169-74, and later in the Ukrainian periodical Nasha kultura (Warsaw), no. 1 (1978): 12-14. O. Karpenko’s work on the precursors of the Communist movement in Western Ukraine, “Do pytannia pro vynyknennia i orhanizatsiine oformlennia Komunistychnoi partii Skhidnoi Halychyny,” in Z istorii zakhidnoukrainskykh zemel, vol. 2 (Kiev, 1957), also

    ZAPISKI HISTORYCZNE — TOM LXXIX — ROK 2014 Zeszyt 4 http://dx.doi.org/10.15762/ZH.2014.16 TOMASZ KEMPA (Toruń) THE ISSUE REGARDING “THE REFORM OF THE UNION” OF LUBLIN IN LITHUANIAN POLICY IN THE PERIOD OF THREE INTERREGNA FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF KING SIGISMUND AUGUSTUS (1572–1588) Key words: the Union of Lublin, particularism, interregnum, the Grand Duchy of Lithua- nia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth In 1569 a new Polish-Lithuanian union was concluded in Lublin; the union strengthened the political, economic and cultural relationship between the Polish Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Both states were united in Krewo in 1385. Nevertheless, until 1569, the union was mostly personal – based on the sta- ble rule of the Jagiellons. In Lublin it was converted into a closer federation of the two countries (both of which kept their names and territory) united from that moment on not only by one monarch elected by both Poles and Lithuanians, but also by one common noble parliament, common foreign policy and defence, the same monetary system (with distinct state treasuries) and similar administrative structures1. Th us, in Polish historiography the Union of Lublin is referred to as the real union to emphasise the fact of there being a variety of real bonds connecting the two states and nations2. On the other hand, the circumstances of the conclusion of the new union in- fl uenced the divergent attitudes of the Poles and Lithuanians and aff ected the rela- tions between the nations, which is refl ected even in present times. Th at is why the circumstances and the fi nal outcome of the negotiations in Lublin should be re- called here since they determined the policy carried out by the Lithuanians during the interregna and following the death of the last Jagiellon on the Polish-Lithua- nian throne.

    Rethinking the Postwar Era: Soviet Ukrainian Writers Under Late Stalinism, 1945-1949 by Iuliia Kysla A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Iuliia Kysla, 2018 Abstract This dissertation advances the study of late Stalinism, which has until recently been regarded as a bizarre appendage to Stalin’s rule, and aims to answer the question of whether late Stalinism was a rupture with or continuation of its prewar precursor. I analyze the reintegration of Ukrainian writers into the postwar Soviet polity and their adaptation to the new realities following the dramatic upheavals of war. Focusing on two parallel case studies, Lviv and Kyiv, this study explores how the Soviet regime worked with members of the intelligentsia in these two cities after 1945, at a time when both sides were engaged in “identification games.” This dissertation demonstrates that, despite the regime’s obsession with control, there was some room for independent action on the part of Ukrainian writers and other intellectuals. Authors exploited gaps in Soviet discourse to reclaim agency, which they used as a vehicle to promote their own cultural agendas. Unlike the 1930s, when all official writers had to internalize the tropes of Soviet culture, in the postwar years there was some flexibility in an author’s ability to accept or reject the Soviet system. Moreover, this dissertation suggests that Stalin’s postwar cultural policy—unlike the strategies of the 1930s, which relied predominantly on coercive tactics—was defined mainly by discipline by humiliation, which often involved bullying and threatening members of the creative intelligentsia.
