It is in this context that Post- Soviet Ukraine has become the site of mass emigration. This dissertation is a cross-national comparison of two patterns of Ukrainian emigration: the exile of older women to Italy and the exodus of entire families, lead predominantly by older women, to California. Italy and California are the largest and most politically significant destinations for post-Soviet Ukrainian migrants where they provide cleaning and caring labor to the elderly.

  • Long-Distance Nationalism: Ukrainian Monuments and Historical Memory in Multicultural Canada
    CHAPTER 4 Long-Distance Nationalism: Ukrainian Monuments and Historical Memory in Multicultural Canada Per A. Rudling INTRODUCTION In October 2017, a political controversy erupted, as the Russian embassy in Ottawa posted a number of images on its twitter account, purporting to depict ‘Nazi memorials’ in Canada. Three images of memorials to Waffen-SS veterans, a prominent Nazi collaborator, and ultranationalist insurgents were accompanied by the comment ‘There are monuments to Nazi collaborators in Canada and nobody is doing anything about it’. The message was followed by the hash tags ‘#NeverForget #Holocaust #WorldWar2’ (‘Russia in Canada’ 2017) (Fig. 4.1). Three years earlier, Russia had invaded Ukraine and annexed parts of its territory, an action not seen in Europe since World War II. The invasion led to a sharp dete- rioration of Russia’s relations to the West, including Canada, the govern- ments of which strongly and publicly denounced the aggression. The diplomatic row of 2017 should be seen in the context of this conflict. P. A. Rudling (*) Lund University, Lund, Sweden e-mail: [email protected] © The Author(s) 2020 95 S.

  • Polish-Ukrainian Conflict Over Eastern Galicia | International Encyclopedia
    Version 1.0 | Last updated 08 October 2014 Polish-Ukrainian Conflict over Eastern Galicia By Oksana Dudko The Polish-Ukrainian conflict over Eastern Galicia in 1918-19 refers to an armed conflict between Poland and the West Ukrainian National Republic (Zakhidnoukrayins’ka Narodna Respublika, ZUNR). It took place largely on the territory of Eastern Galicia between 1 November 1918 and 17 July 1919. Table of Contents 1 Grounds for Conflict and Combatants’ Positions 2 Street Fighting in Lemberg 3 Battles in Eastern Galicia 4 Short- and Long-Term Consequences of the Conflict 5 A War of Memories Selected Bibliography Citation Grounds for Conflict and Combatants’ Positions The eastern portion of Galicia – the largest province within the Austro-Hungarian Empire – served as the principal setting for the conflict. In the countryside, ethnic Ukrainians were in the majority, whereas in Lemberg (Lviv/Lwów) and the surrounding towns they formed the minority. Before the war, ethnic Poles were the largest ethnic group in Lemberg proper; Jews comprised the second largest group, totaling more than 30 percent of city residents. Ukrainians formed the third largest group with 18 percent. With the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy on 16 October 1918, Charles I, Emperor of Austria (1887-1922) issued a proclamation granting autonomy to nations within the Empire. Both Poles and Ukrainians accordingly began to formulate plans to take control of Eastern Galicia, with the objective of establishing national rule. On 19 October 1918, the Ukrainian side formed a Ukrainian National Rada (Council) which announced its intention to establish an independent state on the territory of Eastern Galicia extending to the San River.

  • The International Roles of Ukraine in the Euro-Atlantic Area
    Iurii Opoka PhD thesis: The international roles of Ukraine in the Euro-Atlantic Area Summary The topic of international roles of Ukraine has been important throughout all the period of Ukrainian independence. It has been important for scholars, international community and Ukraine itself. After the USSR collapsed, there were some surges of scholars’ interest regarding the issue. Usually, they were of a periodic nature and were connected to the specific events like nuclear disarmament, the Orange Revolution or "gas wars." The new revolution of 2014, annexation of Crimea, Ukrainian-Russian conflict, and Western-Russian conflict have actualized the “Ukrainian topic” once more. A new wave of publications about the Ukrainian crisis has appeared. Usually, the publications concerning the latest conflicts around Ukraine pay attention to the newest historical developments. The annexation of Crimea and war with Russia are in the center of those researches, while consequences of the crisis are the most important. It is logical because of the "temperature" of the topic and a level of threats. However, our research tries to take a few steps back. We seek comprehensive analysis of the reasons and determinants of the Ukrainian foreign policy and its place in the international arena. That is why we try to elaborate a retrospective review of the Ukrainian actions, aspirations, intentions, and consequences for Ukraine and the international environment. For this reason, we analyzed and synthesized international roles of Ukraine in the Euro-Atlantic area. The analysis of the international roles of Ukraine during 1991- 2017 is an extensive panoramic view on the international behavior of the state.

  • Nataliia Vovk UKRAINIAN GALICIAN ARMY MILITARY SYMBOLS and UNIFORM: SELECTED ISSUES Lviv Polytechnic National University
    Секція - Історія Nataliia Vovk UKRAINIAN GALICIAN ARMY MILITARY SYMBOLS AND UNIFORM: SELECTED ISSUES Lviv Polytechnic National University Introduction It is believed that uniforms and military distinctions in the armed forces discipline the personnel, significantly increase its morale and fighting spirit, enhance national consciousness, ensure the continuity of generations, give civilian and dignity of the warrior. The military of the Western Ukrainian People's Republic (WUPR), which was formed in the face of difficult conditions, during the active fighting in November 1918 was not an exception. The formation of a capable Ukrainian Galician Army (UGA) was closely linked not only to the organization of its combat units, quartermaster services, but also to the information system for providing troops. Against the background of a deep study of the important aspects of the WUPR armed forces construction, the problem of UGA information support during the Ukrainian- Polish confrontation should also be considered from the point of view of the analysis of the soldiers unity and legal documents that regulated the status of the UGA military form. The purpose of the study is to create an image of soldiers of the Ukrainian Galician Army. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to perform the following tasks: to analyze the historiographical and source base; identify the main elements of the analysis of the appearance of UGA soldiers; to analyze the main breastplates and orders of WUPR troops; to create an image of WUPR soldiers in the historiographic section. Analysis of historiographical sources reveals some gaps in the study of this problem. Among the researchers who partially analyzed the uniaxial UGA, we should mention M.
