    THE OCCUPATION OF THE NORTHERN BUKOVINA BY THE USSR (JUNE, 28th –JULY, 3rd 1940). POLITICAL AND MILITARY OBSERVATIONS Cezar CIORTEANU Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava [email protected] Rezumat: Ocuparea nordului Bucovinei de către URSS (28 iunie – 3 iulie 1940). Observaţii politico-militare Articolul trece în revistă și analizează contextul geopolitic și geostrategic internaţional care a condus la ocuparea nordului Bucovinei de către URSS în 1940, fără nici un fel de rezistenţă militară din partea României. În primul rând, este analizat contextul geopolitic internaţional din luna iunie 1940, marcat de desfiinţarea unor alianţe și dispariţia sau capitularea unor state pe care se baza sistemul de securitate al României: autodesfiinţarea Micii Înţelegeri (România, Cehoslovacia, Iugoslavia) și a Înţelegerii Balcanice (România, Iugoslavia, Grecia, Turcia) în 1938, dispariţia Poloniei ca stat în septembrie 1939 și capitularea Franţei la 22 iunie 1940. În continuare, sunt prezentate acţiunile politico-diplomatice ale URSS de obţinere a neutralităţii Germaniei în ceea ce privește dorinţa de a ocupa toată Bucovina iniţial, sudul Bucovinei ulterior, derulate în intervalul 23 august 1939 – 26 iunie 1940. Partea a treia a articolului, bazată aproape în întregime pe surse arhivistice, surprinde principalele acţiuni de pregătire militară a URSS în vederea invadării nordului Bucovinei, în cazul în care România nu ar fi cedat acest teritoriu de bunăvoie și ar fi încercat să opună rezistenţă militară. În finalul articolului este analizată ipoteza, vehiculată practic până astăzi în istoriografia română, în conformitate cu care ar fi fost mai bine pentru România să opună rezistenţă militară la ultimatumul sovietic din 26 iunie 1940. Abstract: The article reviews and analyzes the international geopolitical and geostrategic context, which led to the occupation of Bukovina by the USSR in 1940, without any military resistance from Romania.

  • Memory, Myth and Monuments: the Commemoration of a Contested Past in Western Ukraine
    Memory Connection Volume 1 Number 1 © 2011 The Memory Waka Memory, Myth and Monuments: The Commemoration of a Contested Past in Western Ukraine John Lehr and Natalia Aponiuk Memory Connection Volume 1 Number 1 © 2011 The Memory Waka Memory, Myth and Monuments: The Commemoration of a Contested Past in Western Ukraine John Lehr and Natalia Aponiuk Abstract In 2010, President Viktor Yushchenko’s posthumous award of the title ‘Hero of Ukraine’ to Stepan Bandera ignited a debate that threw memory and history into conflict. Bandera was the founder of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) whose military arm, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), or Ukrayins’ka Povstans’ka Armiya, fought for Ukrainian independence from 1942–1952. Initially it opposed German occupation forces in Ukraine, but following the German retreat it fought Soviet troops, at times controlling considerable territory in Western Ukraine. The UPA hoped to achieve an independent Ukrainian state and continued to conduct guerrilla warfare against the Soviets until 1952. A second arm of the OUN joined the German cause as a route to Ukrainian independence, enlisting in the Waffen-SS Division Halychyna. The UPA received strong support from the Ukrainian population, which regarded it as a liberating national organisation. Its opponents allege that it engaged in ethnic cleansing of Poles, and during the Nazi occupation actively collaborated in the murder and deportation of Jews. Many Western Ukrainians also fought as soldiers of the Soviet Red Army, playing a role in the liberation of Ukraine from Nazi control. During the period of Soviet administration from 1945 until 1991, when Ukraine achieved independence, an official landscape of commemoration was established that celebrated communist heroes and the sacrifices of the Red Army.

  • Hutsulshchyna and Public Progress
    BULLETIN OF GEOGRAPHY SOCIO–ECONOMIC SERIES No. 14/2010 ANNA KIBYCH YURIY FEDKOVYCH CHERNIVTSI NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, UKRAINE HUTSULSHCHYNA AND PUBLIC PROGRESS DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/v10089-010-0013-2 ABSTRACT. The article describes the public-demographic changes in Hutsulshchyna in the light of political and economic surroundings of a changing Ukraine. There are indications proving that structural shifts in Hutsuls’ ethnic culture, caused by cultural globalization, are about to happen. Preservation of ethnographic features in present-day conditions, as well as Hutsuls’ adaptation to new social realities, appears to become a complex socio-cultural problem of this region of Ukraine. KEY WORDS: Ukraine, Hutsulshchyna, geography of culture, ethnic minorities. INTRODUCTION Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, its former constituent parts became independent states and simultaneously the subjects of a global community of nations. They have been exposed to the political, economic, and cultural influences from the side of the most technologically advanced societies, the wealthiest economies, and, first of all, the expansive culture of mass consumption. The post-Soviet nations have been subjected to the deep transformation processes in the area of ideology and economy. Moreover, their societies gained access to new technologies, various ‘modern’ devices, as well as to some different styles of thinking and ways of life. Ideological and political transformation was then accompanied by cultural changes, which can lead to the loss of some traditional characteristics and the reduction in the area of cultural diversity. This is the reason that the changes in the area of culture among the post-Soviet societies became the object of interest on the part of scientists, including geographers.

    Bulletin du CRFJ, printemps 2001, numéro 8 Czernowitz revisited The anthropological and historical study I had been working on for the last several years on Bukovina (Austro Hungarian, then Romanian between the two World Wars and today in the Ukraine) – was nearing completion. At that point I felt I could not finish writing without actually visiting the places that I was describing through the memories of others, and which I was also the cradle of part of my family. Czernowitz, notably the birthplace of Paul Celan and Rose Auslander, was predominantly Jewish during the inter-war period. It was a symbol of the coming together of two Europes – East and West. By cross comparison of source material, the life stories of the city’s inhabitants, now living all over the world but many of whom are in Israël, and the archives which today are accessible, I primarily focused on the constructions of memory in its relationship to history, and the forging of identifies. In November 1999, Tel Aviv University organized a conference on “Czernowitz as a Paradigm. Cultural Pluralism and the Issue of Nationalities”. While at this conference I met an American couple, both of whom are university researchers: Marianne Hirsch and her husband Leo Spitzer. Marianne, whose parents came from Czernowitz works on topics similar to mine. She told me about her plans to visit Bukovina in the spring of 2000. She was planning to go with her husband and a cousin, David Kessler, whose parents are also from that area. Marianne invited me to join them. This is how the trip came to be, and the extracts below are from the travel diary I kept.
