  • Appendices I
    Appendices I. Archival Sources Archival research for this monograph was conducted in Lviv, the former capital of Galicia, in 1983. To orient myself in the rich archival holdings of this city, I benefitted from the unpublished manuscript of Patricia K. Grimsted's forthcoming guide to Soviet Ukrainian archives and manuscript repositories' as well as from a number of published works.' Plans to use archives in Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk were frustrated, as was the plan to use the manuscript collection of the Institute of Literature of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (in Kiev). Work in the Austrian archives in 1982 did not uncover sources of direct relevance to the subject of this monograph, but the Viennese archives remain an important and little-explored repository of historical documentation on Galician history. The richest collection of unpublished sources on the history of Galicia during the Austrian period is located in the Central State Historical Archives of the Ukrainian SSR in Lviv (U Tsentrainyi derzhavnyi istorychnyi arkhiv URSR u rn. Lvovi; abbre- viated as TsDIAL). The Central Archives have inherited the papers of various Galician government institutions and major civic organizations. Unfortunately, there is no published guide to these archives, although a number of articles describe aspects of their holdings.' The papers of the Presidium of the Galician Viceroy's Office (U Haiytske narnisnytstvo, rn. Lviv. Prezydiia) are contained in TsDIAL, fond 146, opysy 4-8 (and presumably others). Particularly valuable for this study were documents dealing with the publication and confiscation of political brochures and periodicals, including , Patricia K.

  • Galician Villagers and the Ukrainian National Movement in the Nineteenth Century Digitized by the Internet Archive
    GALICIAN VILLAGERS AND THE UKRAINIAN NATIONAL MOVEMENT IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY JOHN-PAUL HIMKA This first case-study of how the East European peasantry was drawn into national politics focuses on the Ukrainians of Galicia, 1772-1914. From first-hand testimony by peasants and rural notables, it demonstrates that the peasants’ political consciousness was forged by serfdom, and reforms initiated by the state and the penetration of a money economy. The book breaks new ground on related issues, including the connection between class and national consciousness, the reasons for a sharp exacerbation of the peasantry’s antagonism towards Jews, the new role of generational differences in the village and the place of rural women in the national movement.

    STUDIA HISTORICA GEDANENSIA TOM X (2019) Magdalena Nowak (Wydział Historyczny, Uniwersytet Gdański) Gente Rutheni, natione Poloni in Polish and Ukrainian scholarly encyclopaedias and biographical dictionaries The phenomenon of national identity, its definition and origins have been the topic of scholarly discussions for many years. There were many theories explain‑ ing how nationalities appeared and how they actually work. In Poland they have been listed and analysed by such historians as Łukasz Adamski1, Adam Świątek2 or Marta Studenna‑Skrukwa 3. Taking into consideration results of their research, I would like to refer to the theory of modern nation. Such authors as Ernest Gellner, Miroslav Hroch, Benedict Anderson, Józef Chlebowczyk and Krzysztof Pomian wrote about the role of modernization in modern nation forming in Central and Eastern Europe4. Especially E. Gellner, M. Hroch and B. Anderson stated that nations as a modern “imagined communities” appeared in the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century.

  • The Greek-Catholic Parish Clergy in Galicia, 1900-1939
    THE GREEK-CATHOLIC PARISH CLERGY IN GALICIA, 1900-1939 Andrew Dennis Sorokowski Ph.D. thesis at the University of London School of Slavonic and East European Studies ABSTRACT Between 1900 and 1939 the Greek-Catholic parish clergy in Galicia underwent a transformation of its social, national, political and cultural consciousness. In part this was the result of the political changes taking place in the province, as its Ruthenian population developed a Ukrainian national consciousness expressed during the interregnum between Austrian and Polish rule by the creation of the Western Ukrainian Popular Republic, and later, in the increasingly restrictive atmosphere of inter-war Poland, by the activity of both moderate and radical nationalist groups. In part this transformation was conditioned by the decline of the priestly caste and the rise of a new type of priest, usually a celibate of village origin. The transformation was also the result of a conscious programme initiated by Metropolitan Andrei Sheptyts'kyi to raise the moral and educational level of the clergy. To this end he reformed the L'viv seminary, established a theological academy, and organised full seminaries in Stanyslaviv and Peremyshi'. This prepared the parish priest to deal with a growingly nationalistic and often anti-clerical intelligentsia, and a village coming increasingly under its influence. At the same time, the parish clergy evolved a new sense of its identity, gradually abandoning the Russophile orientation of the Old Ruthenians and adopting first Ruthenian populism, then Ukrainian nationalism. Thus they found common cause with the secular intelligentsia. However, the Ukrainian orientation forced them to redefine the Eastern Ukrainian tradition in a manner compatible with Catholicism, and to formulate their stance towards Orthodoxy and the Kievan Byzantine tradition.

To this date - 988, to this place - Kiev (ever since the most revered of Ukrainian cities), and to this baptism of their ancestors Ukrainians trace their beginnings as a Christian people and the origins of their Church.
