Essentially, it is about present-day Lviv’s roots in the heinous mass murders of World War II and postwar displacements, as well as cruelties and hardships of the postwar Stalinist regime. While Ukrainians (Lviv’s cur- rent majority) often present themselves as victims of those twentieth-century tragedies, the book emphasizes their involvement as both perpetrators of atrocities and collaborators. The subject is tremendously important and the author should be commended for raising it, but the actual execution of his study is seriously flawed. The author sets out to explore how Lviv, an Eastern European borderland city, that was shaped by “four key forces of European and global twentieth- century history: Soviet Communism, Soviet nation-shaping (here, Ukrain- ization), nationalism and Nazism” (P. 1). Whereas, arguably, “Soviet nation- shaping” was not a global force on par with the other three and can hardly be disentangled from the larger “Soviet Communism,” it is central to Amar’s argument. The only aspect of Soviet Communism that the book engages with at any length is its nationality policies. Both local nationalists and the Nazis were molding the city according to their ideals—mostly through atrocious murders, including the murder of the city’s Jewish population. Finishing the ethnic cleansing, however, fell to the Soviets, who removed the Poles and turned the city into a Ukrainian one.

Budapest, June 7, 2013 Iryna Koshulap CEU eTD Collection ©2013. Iryna Koshulap. All rights reserved. ii Abstract The present study examines a co-formative relationship between the diasporic and women‘s activism of the Ukrainian National Women‘s League of America at the time of Ukraine‘s independence. Founded in 1925, this voluntary-based non-profit organization of Ukrainian migrant women and women of Ukrainian descent has carried out philanthropic, educational, and cultural activities along with political protests and lobbying, taking a recognized place among organizations of the Ukrainian diaspora in the United States. Having been a women‘s organization in the Ukrainian diaspora and an ethnic organization in American and international women‘s movements from its inception, the UNWLA often considered its participation in international women‘s forums instrumental in promoting the cause of Ukraine‘s sovereignty. Instead of withdrawing from this arena in the early years of Ukraine‘s independence, however, the UNWLA started to adopt the women‘s rights and equality discourses for generating relations with the state and non-state actors in Ukraine and for conceptualizing a vision for the organization‘s future.

Taylor, The Struggle for Mastery in Europe, 1848-1918 (Oxford, New York 1991), 17) Perceptions of reality and not reality itself determine the behaviour of people. Such perceptions are at the same time subjective and socially determined. While most historians would agree with these statements, in historical practice such truisms are often disregarded. When the perceptions of historical actors diverge from the reconstructed reality, this is seen as an expression of false consciousness. To avoid such specious conclusions I have chosen an approach based on what in German is termed Erfahrungsgeschichte, that is, the history of experience.

  • Ukrainianization, Terror and Famine: Coverage in Lviv's Dilo and The
    1 Author's Accepted Manuscript of an article published in Nationalities Papers: The Journal of Nationalism and Ethnicity 40.3 (2012): 431-52. Available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com. Ukrainianization, terror and famine: coverage in Lviv’s Dilo and the nationalist press of the 1930s Myroslav Shkandrij The years 1932-34 were a turning point in Soviet Ukraine. Ukrainian nationalism was declared the “greatest danger,” replacing Russian great-power chauvinism which had held this distinction since the Twelfth Congress of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolshevik) in 1923. Pavel Postyshev arrived from Moscow to implement the new line, which was that Ukrainianization had hitherto been a “Petliurite” operation aimed at developing a national culture and state, instead of being a tool for bolshevization (See Martin 356, 362-68). Sweeping arrests and show trials were conducted in order to intimidate those who were conducting Ukrainianization and to make the republic completely subservient to the party centre in Moscow. By the late thirties, korenizatsiia (the policy of rooting bolshevik rule in local populations) was seen as best done through Russification, and not through cooperation with supporters of a national renaissance that, in Stalin’s view, had interfered with the strengthening of bolshevik power (Iefimenko 13). After gaining control of the party and crushing the Ukrainian peasantry, Stalin began undermining Ukrainianization by linking it to nationalism and the disasters of collectivization. An incorrect, “Petliurite” Ukrainianization, it was pronounced, had stimulated resistance to party policies, caused shortages in grain-requisitioning and led to revolts. The Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party stated on December 14, 1932, that a lack of “bolshevik vigilance” had allowed “the twisting of the party line” (Ibid.

Popular biographies and biographic scholarly monographs are in short supply, even those dealing with the most prominent and central figures of Ukrainian history. Book-length biographies about Galicians are particularly scant: with few exceptions, these individuals’ “Galician nature”—assigned a status of marginality in the historiographic paradigm that has been carried over from the twentieth century—has caused them to be excluded from the pantheon of important figures about whom biographies are written. The elevated genre of intellectual biography, which spans the disciplines of history, philosophy, and political studies, is represented by very few works (first and foremost among them is Prorok u svoii vitchyzni: Franko ta ioho spil'nota [1856-1886] [A Prophet in His Own Homeland: Franko and His Community (1856-1886)] by Iaroslav Hrytsak). The publishing market in Poland is a completely different story: biographies (and memoirs) are among the most popular published genres. Furthermore, Poland has the most active publishing market outside of Ukraine with regard to books on Ukrainian topics, including the history of Ukraine. Each year, several dozen books on Ukrainian issues are published; naturally, these include biographies.

  • Women and Holodomor-Genocide : Victims, Survivors, Perpetrators
    WOMEN AND HOLODOMOR-GENOCIDE : VICTIMS, SURVIVORS, PERPETRATORS SECOND SYMPOSIUM Commemorating the 85th Anniversary of the Holodomor-Genocide California State University, Fresno Henry Madden Library, 2206 OCTOBER 5, 2018 Cover art: “The Bitter Memory of Childhood” This haunting statue of a young girl clutching a handful of wheat stalks stands in the middle of the alley leading to the Memorial in Commemoration of the Victims of the Holodomor in Kyiv, Ukraine. The statue is dedicated to the most vulnerable victims of the Ukrainian famine-genocide – children. The statue, as part of the memorial complex, was conceptualized and designed by the Ukrainian folk artist Anatoliy Haydamaka and architect Yuriy Kovalyov for the 75th commemorative year. Wheat is the symbol of life, prosperity, spiritual wealth. It is the grain which, for centuries, has been associated with our nation’s livelihood. During the 1932-1933, however, it became a weapon of the genocide orchestrated to destroy the very fabric of that nation. On August 7, 1932, Joseph Stalin authored a law with a sentence ten years of imprisonment or death for the misappropriation of collective farm property. This law led to mass arrests and executions. Even children caught picking handfuls of grain from collective farm fields were convicted. It became known as the law of “Five Ears of Grain.” While serving as a reminder of the devastation characterized by the law, the wheat symbolizes the Ukrainian nation’s determination to live and prosper; the nation’s future.

  • 3) EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS and MEMOIRS Introduction This Section
    3) EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS AND MEMOIRS Introduction This section contains descriptions, reports, and memoirs of the famine by eyewitnesses and contemporaries. In Kapoot, Carveth Wells, a world traveler and writer, notes that “the farther we penetrated into the Ukraine” in July 1932, “the less food there was and the more starvation to be seen on every side.” This is followed by one of the first reports of 1933 about the famine, filed by Gareth Jones: it was immediately disputed by the New York Times reporter Walter Duranty. Two other journalists, Malcolm Muggeridge and William Chamberlin, both saw the famine as a struggle between the Soviet state and the peasantry and blamed the authorities for it. The French journalist Suzanne Bertillon interviewed Martha Stebalo, an American citizen of Ukrainian origin who had visited famine-stricken Ukraine in July–August 1933. She concludes that the Kremlin organized the famine to destroy Ukrainian hopes of self-rule. Harry Lang, a journalist with the Yiddish-language Jewish Daily Forward (New York), provides horrific details of the famine, notes the resistance of Ukraine’s peasants to collective farming, likens a village to “cemeteries of houses,” and recognizes that the famine was man- made. He visits a model Jewish collective farm, noting that aid from Jews living abroad helped save its members from starvation. Whiting Williams, who traveled in Ukraine in 1933, describes how peasants hoped to save their children by abandoning them in Kharkiv. He was told that these “wild children” would be “unloaded out in the open country—too far out for it to be possible to walk back to town.” Eugene Lyons describes how Western journalists downplayed or failed to report on the famine.
