RESHETAR, JR. Although Lenin never visited the Ukraine and had no first-hand knowledge of the country, his imposition of Soviet rule upon the Ukrainians has rendered consequential the various statements and opinions on the Ukraine expressed in his works. Examination of the first half of Lenin's total published output discloses neither an aware­ ness of the Ukrainians nor a concern for their particular condition. Such references as are to be found pertaining to the Ukraine in works of the 1893-1911 period deal with purely economic, non- cultural, and non-national matters. Various Ukrainian cities and provinces were referred to by Lenin but only to illustrate economic processes which he regarded as characteristic of the entire Russian Empire. In his Development of Capitalism in Russia, published in 1899, he referred to the Ukraine by the official (and pejorative) ap­ pellation of “Little Russia.” Initially, Lenin wrote exclusively of the “Russian working class,” “Russian Social Democrats,” “Russian So­ cialists,” the “Russian proletariat,” and the “Russian labor move­ ment.” It was only as a result of the 1905 Revolution that Lenin com­ menced to refer to the “peoples of Russia/’1 It appears that Ukrainians were first mentioned by Lenin in a speech delivered at the Third Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party in London on May 6,1905; on that occasion he referred to Father George Gapon’s efforts to unite eighteen revolutionary organizations including the Ukrainian Revolutionary Party and the Ukrainian Socialist Party.2 At the end of 1907 Lenin, in discussing the Bolshevik agrarian pro­ gram, referred to the “Ukrainian faction” in the Second Duma and to the demand of the Poltava deputy, Efim Saiko, that a separate Ukrainian national land fund be established.3 Significantly, Lenin was apparently not interested in Saiko’s demand for the establishment 1 V. I.

However, in an article published in Pravda on the following day he referred to the Ukrainian nation along with the Polish, Jewish, and Georgian nations but only for the purpose of denouncing “bourgeois nation­ alism/' This phenomenon he defined as the attempt to “distract the working class from its great world-wide tasks by means of the national struggle or the struggle for national culture.”6 When a Congress of Ukrainian Students meeting in Lviv demanded an independent Ukraine, Lenin defended its right to do so and denounced the Kadets for opposing Ukrainian “separatism”—a term which Lenin enclosed in quotation marks. On the occasion of this so-called defense of the Ukrainian students in an article in Pravda of July 16, 1913 (then called Rabochaya Pravda), Lenin even penned a partial defense of the Ukrainian socialist Dmytro Dontsov although he also maintained that such “national socials” had to be opposed. This “defense” of the Ukrainian students for their separatism was used by Lenin as a weapon against the Kadets, but it also provided him with an opportunity to make it clear that “Marxists will never permit their heads to be turned by national slogans—whether they be Great Russian, Polish, Jewish, Ukrainian, or other.”7 4 See J.

    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

  • Nationality Issue in Proletkult Activities in Ukraine

GOMENIUK Ph.D. (Pedagogics), Pavlo TYchyna Uman State Pedagogical UniversitY, UKRAINE ABSTRACT The article highlights the social and political conditions under which the proletarian educational organizations of the 1920s functioned in the context of nationalitY issue, namelY the study of political frameworks determining the status of the Ukrainian language and culture in Ukraine. The nationalitY issue became crucial in Proletkult activities – a proletarian cultural, educational and literary organization in the structure of People's Commissariat, the aim of which was a broad and comprehensive development of the proletarian culture created by the working class. Unlike Russia, Proletkult’s organizations in Ukraine were not significantlY spread and ceased to exist due to the fact that the national language and culture were not taken into account and the contact with the peasants and indigenous people of non-proletarian origin was limited. KeYwords: Proletkult, worker, culture, language, policY, organization. FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM IN GENERAL AND ITS CONNECTION WITH IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL TASKS ContemporarY social transformations require detailed, critical reinterpreting the experiences of previous generations. In his work “Lectures” Hegel wrote that experience and history taught that peoples and governments had never learnt from history and did not act in accordance with the lessons that historY could give. The objective study of Russian-Ukrainian relations require special attention that will help to clarify the reasons for misunderstandings in historical context, to consider them in establishing intercommunication and ensuring peace in the geopolitical space.

  • Historical Background
    1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Ukraine's long and turbulent history has been marked by devas• tation, suppression and discontinuity, the absence of any lasting independent statehood, and the division of ethnically Ukrainian lands among foreign conquerors and more powerful neighbours. Located at the former crossroads between Europe and Asia, where the Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim worlds confronted one another, this rich and fertile land was for centuries a magnet for invaders and colonizers, including Tatars, Poles, Turks, Russians and Germans. Over the ages Ukraine's history was rewritten by its foreign rulers in accordance with their own political and imperial interests, thus obscuring the story and aspirations of one of Europe's largest nations. Indeed, having remained a submerged nation for so long, Ukraine's resurgence during the final years of the USSR's existence was to take many by surprise and not only to alter the political geography of Europe but also to challenge the traditional ways of looking at Russia and Eastern Europe. Early history The Ukrainians, like the Russians and Belarusians, belong to the eastern branch of the Slavs. All three trace their historical ancestry to the state of Kyivan (Kievan) Rus, which arose in the ninth century and developed into a vast and powerful realm. The centre of this conglomerate of diverse territories and principalities was Kyiv and the area around it, that is, the heartland of present-day Ukraine. Kyivan Rus adopted Christianity from Byzantium in 988, along with Old Church Slavonic, with its Cyrillic script, which became the liturgical and literary language. The Kyivan state's famed 'golden domed' capital flourished as a jewel of East Slavonic culture and its rulers formed dynastic links with many 1 2 Historical background of medieval Europe's royal families as far away as France and Norway.

  • A Turbulent Year for Ukraine Urbulent Was the Way to Describe 2009 for Ukraine, Which Plunged Into Financial Crisis
    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 2010 5 2009: THE YEAR IN REVIEW A turbulent year for Ukraine urbulent was the way to describe 2009 for Ukraine, which plunged into financial crisis. No other European country suffered as much as TUkraine, whose currency was devalued by more than 60 percent since its peak of 4.95 hrv per $1 in August 2008. In addition, the country’s industrial production fell by 31 percent in 2009. Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko con- fronted the challenge of minimizing the crisis fallout, while at the same time campaigning for the 2010 presi- dential elections. Her critics attacked her for pursuing populist policies, such as increasing wages and hiring more government staff, when the state treasury was broke as early as the spring. Ms. Tymoshenko herself admitted that her gov- ernment would not have been able to make all its pay- ments without the help of three tranches of loans, worth approximately $10.6 billion, provided by the International Monetary Fund. Her critics believe that instead of borrowing money, Ms. Tymoshenko should have been introducing radical reforms to the Ukrainian economy, reducing government waste, eliminating out- dated Soviet-era benefits and trimming the bureaucracy. The year began with what is becoming an annual tra- Offi cial Website of Ukraine’s President dition in Ukraine – a natural gas conflict provoked by the government of Russian Federation Prime Minister President Viktor Yushchenko and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko at the heated February 10 meeting of Vladimir Putin.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express his gratitude to Dr. 0.

Preface The primary incentive in compiling data for this dissertation has heen a desire to grant well-deserved credit to a young Soviet Ukrainian poet who died of cancer at the age of 28. In selecting a method of development of this topic I have decided to include information on his background and environment, without which it would he difficult to determine the proper place of this poet within the framework of Soviet Ukrainian literature. Indeed, the excessive amount of contradictory material available on this topic and the necessity of editing and evaluating it has been one of the greatest difficulties faced by the author of this dissertation. Most of the sources dealing with contemporary Soviet Ukrainian literature are also of a highly subjective nature. Under these conditions it has been difficult to select a method for the classifica¬ tion of the writers discussed within the limitations of this work.

    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.
