The Ukrainian Weekly 1991, No.26 www.ukrweekly.com Published by the Ukrainian National Association Inc., і і c, a fraternal non-profit association! ramian WeeH У Vol. LIX No. 26 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JUNE 30,1991 50 cents Battle of Berestechko, Marchers in Kiev say "no" fo union treaty glorious Kozak legacy recalled by thousands by Marta Kolomayets Kiev Press Bureau PLIASHEVA, Ukraine - In June 1651, this field near the town of Be­ restechko was the site of a bloody battle between the Kozak army led by Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky and the Polish forces. The armies were of imposing proportions - each 150,000 men strong. But the Kozaks were defeated when, on the day of the decisive battle, their allies, the Tatars, abandoned the field and kidnapped the Kozak leader, who as a result of this defeat was forced to sign the Treaty of Bila Tserkva. Now, 340 years later on June 16, Ukrainians from northern, western and central lands converged upon the Kor zak graves to celebrate .- not the Berestechko defeat, but the glory of their Kozak past. "We should stop and think: for what did the Kozaks give their lives? For freedom, for independence, for their lands. It is here on this sacred resting place that we should feel strength, ability and courage to follow along Kolomayets the road paved by our ancestors," Levko Lukianenko leads anti-union treaty march down Kiev's main boulevard, the Khreshchatyk.

  • The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*
    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

  • 3 Assessment of Environmental Impact Degree
    Abstract This report contains calculations and justification of radiation impact of radioactive releases from SS Rivne NPP on the environment and the population during normal operation and in emergency cases in a transboundary context. All calculations have been performed for conservative conditions of impurity propagation and radiation dose formation (at maximum doses). It has been shown that maximum permissible values of radiation criteria for equivalent and absorbed doses in body organs and the entire body at borders with other countries, as defined by regulatory documents, are met during normal operation of power units, or in case of design basis or beyond design basis accidents. It has been justified that planned activities have no major transboundary impact, and there is no affected party in terms of the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context. In execution of para. 8, Art. 3 of Convention on Access to Public Information, posting the information on environmental impact of the planned activities in a transboundary context at common access Internet resources, e. g. on websites of the government authorities concerned - the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine and the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine - will suffice. The report contains 68 pages, including 14 figures and 27 tables. Keywords: NPP, radiation dose, maximum design basis accident, beyond design basis accident, transboundary impact. 4 Contents ABSTRACT ......................................................................................................................................................................

    reviews 51 conceptualizing and clarifying the nature of the discourse of social reform in early modern Europe. Her treatment of utopian discourse in Renaissance England benefits from consideration of authors whose inclusion borders on the counterintuitive. Scholars of the period will find it perceptive and insightful; those concerned with utopian dis- course in a later period will find it a sound and helpful starting point. Mykhailo Hrushevsky. History of Ukraine-Rus’. Vol. 10: The Cossack Age, 1657-1659. Edmonton and Toronto: Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies Press, 2014. c + 327pp. + 3 maps. Review by Carol B. Stevens, Colgate University. Another volume of Mykhailo Hrushevsky’s magisterial History of Ukraine-Rus’ has become available in English translation, thanks to the efforts of the Peter Jacyk Centre for Ukrainian Historical Re- search at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies. It will take its place alongside earlier English-language translations of the History. Currently, volume one is in print, while volumes 2–5 are projected; this sequence, volumes 1–5, covers the time period through the fif- teenth century. The translation of volume ten represents something a bit different—the completion of a four-volume subseries (#7–10) within the History; these volumes deal with the early modern history of Ukrainian Cossacks from the fifteenth century through to 1659 and the ratification of the Treaty of Hadiach. Mykhailo Hrushevsky was at work on this, the tenth volume of his history of Ukraine-Rus,’ when he died in 1934. When he died, only the first part of a longer intended volume was substantially complete.

  • Radical Nationalist Parties and Movements in Contemporary Ukraine Before and After Independence: the Right and Its Politics, 1989-1994
    Nationalities Papers, Vol. 25, No. 2, 1997 RADICAL NATIONALIST PARTIES AND MOVEMENTS IN CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE BEFORE AND AFTER INDEPENDENCE: THE RIGHT AND ITS POLITICS, 1989-1994 Taras Kuzio Introduction The radical right in the Ukrainian political spectrum is dominated by three move- ments—the Nationalist Union Ukrainian State Independence (DSU), the Ukrainian National Assembly (UNA, formerly the Ukrainian Inter-Party Assembly, UMPA) and the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists (KUN). The UNA is dominated by the highly secretive Ukrainian Nationalist Union (UNS) which grew out of the national- ist wing of the Association of Independent Ukrainian Youth (SNUM). The KUN was launched in 1992 in Ukraine as the overt arm of the emigre Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists-Bandera faction (known commonly as OUN revolutionaries, or OUNr). Other organisations, such as SNUM and the more radical eastern Ukrainian-based Association of Ukrainian Youth (SUM), increasingly adopted "revolutionary nationalism" as their ideology in 1990-1991, with nationalists propagating a "youth cult" to attract the younger generation (both for members and intellectual support).1 It is also often pointed out that Ukrainian nationalism will have a large appeal among the youth of tomorrow.2 Other nationalist groups, though smaller, have also emerged, such as the Ukrainian National-Radical Party (UNRP) and the Organisation for the Liberation of Ukraine,3 but they have remained largely insignificant. The UNRP was established at the end of 1990 in L'viv, joined the Ukrainian Inter-Party Assembly (UMPA) but remained underground. Its leader, Mykhailo Stasiuk, launched the nationalist and widely read journal Derzhavnist in 1991, claiming the highly inflated membership figure of 500 members.4 The Ukrainian National Party (UNP) and the Ukrainian People's Democratic Party (UNDP), the founders of the UMPA, amalga- mated into the Ukrainian National Conservative Party (UNKP) in 1992.
