Zaporizhia Branch of the Kowalsky Institute: in Memory of Professor Anatolii Boiko CIUS Newsletter 2011 Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies 4-30 Pembina Hall, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2H8 Zaporizhia Branch of the Kowalsky Institute: In memory of Professor Anatolii Boiko Since the 1990s, a group of schol- ars in Zaporizhia headed by Anatolii Boiko has been actively researching the history of the steppe region of Ukraine. The sad news of the sudden death of this very talented historian and expert in source studies and archaeography was a blow to the whole Ukrainian academic community. Professor Boiko was head of the Department of Source Studies, Histori- ography, and Special Historical Disci- plines at Zaporizhia National Univer- sity. He also headed the Yakiv Novytsky Zaporizhia Scholarly Society and the Zaporizhia branches of the Mykhailo Hrushevsky Institute of Ukrainian Ar- chaeography and Source Studies (Na- tional Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) and of the Kowalsky Eastern Institute of Ukrainian Studies.

    Coming Down From the Mountain: Dialect Contact and Convergence in Contemporary Hutsulshchyna By Erin Victoria Coyne A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Johanna Nichols, Chair Professor Alan Timberlake Professor Lev Michael Spring 2014 Abstract Coming Down From the Mountain: Dialect Contact and Convergence in Contemporary Hutsulshchyna by Erin Victoria Coyne Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Johanna Nichols, Chair Despite the recent increased interest in Hutsul life and culture, little attention has been paid to the role of dialect in Hutsul identity and cultural revival. The primary focus of the present dissertation is the current state of the Hutsul dialect, both in terms of social perception and the structural changes resulting from the dominance of the standard language in media and education. Currently very little is known about the contemporary grammatical structure of Hutsul. The present dissertation is the first long-term research project designed to define both key elements of synchronic Hutsul grammar, as well as diachronic change, with focus on variation and convergence in an environment of increasing close sustained contact with standard Ukrainian resulting from both a historically-based sense of ethnic identification, as well as modern economic realities facing the once isolated and self-sufficient Hutsuls. In addition, I will examine the sociolinguistic network lines which allow and impede linguistic assimilation, specifically in the situation of a minority population of high cultural valuation facing external linguistic assimilation pressures stemming from socio-political expediency.

  • Hypotheses of the Appearance of Rusins/Slavs in Transcarpathia
    CENTRAL EUROPEAN PAPERS 2013 / I / 2 77 Hypotheses of the Appearance of Rusins/Slavs in Transcarpathia (Transcarpathian Region) Richard MIHOK Кафедра історії Угорщини та європейської інтеграції, Гуманитарно-природничий факультет з угорською мовою навчання, Ужгородський національний університет, Университетская 14/a, 88000 Ужгород, Україна Department of History of the Hungary and European Integration, Faculty of Humanities and Natural Sciences with the Hungarian Language of Education, Uzhhorod National University, Universitetskaja 14/a, 88000 Uzhhorod, Ukraine [email protected] Introduction That small ethnic group which ethnologists call Rusins is a matter in dispute a long time ago. I use this expression because usually it can be found only in scientific terminology. In the last centuries both the territory and the inhabitants of Transcarpathia were controlled by different powers who also had a great intellectual influence on them. In the 20th century those powers were changed very often (Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, Czechoslovakia, Hungarian Monarchy, Soviet Union, Independent Ukraine) and it caused that the term ethnical affiliation has become not so clear for an average person. It is true for such a group of people, like the Rusins. The aim of the work is to present both the appearance of the Slavs/Rusins on the territory of the North-eastern Carpathians (paying attention to the territory of present Transcarpathia) and the problematic historiographical questions related to this topic. The national awakening of the Rusins can be dated in the end of the 19th at the beginning of the 20th century.1 By the end of the First World War the attempt which could give autonomy to the Rusins had realized and it could contribute to their national consciousness.2 But everything happened in a different way.

The first, Shelley Pollero’s column on page 2, explains the reasons that the Steering Committee has felt it necessary to raise Gesher Galicia’s dues … mainly the increased costs of publishing The Galitzianer and the Gesher Galicia Family Finder. The second, on page 3, describes a proposed electronic option for distributing The Galitzianer via email to those who want to receive it that way.

  • 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.
