According to a statement issued by the Pulitzer Board that same day, the portfo- lio of 13 articles for which Mr. Duranty won the Pulitzer Prize, “measured by today’s standards for foreign reporting, falls seriously short.” The statement also said that the board’s view in the matter “is similar to that of The New York Times itself and of some scholars who have examined [Duranty’s] 1931 reports.” The New York Times recently charac- terized Mr. Duranty’s work as “sloven- ly,” and Dr. Mark von Hagen, a Columbia University history professor hired by The New York Times to exam- ine Mr. Duranty’s dispatches from the Roman Woronowycz former Soviet Union, characterized Mr. The scene at Kyiv’s memorial to the Famine-Genocide of 1932-1933, located in Mykhailivsky Square, where a public com- Duranty’s Pulitzer Prize-winning articles memoration of the Holodomor’s 70th anniversary was held on November 22. as “cynical in tone and apologist in pur- by Roman Woronowycz pose and effect in terms of justifying what the Stalinist regime was up to.” Kyiv Press Bureau However, in explaining the decision KYIV – Candlelight filled the evening Statement from the UNA: not to revoke Mr. Duranty’s award, the on one of Kyiv’s main squares on board said “there was not clear and con- November 22 where earlier in the day vincing evidence of deliberate deception, thousands of people held a peaceful rally Let the healing begin the relevant standard in this case.” and commemorative march as Ukraine Following is the text of a statement America (UCCA) on the same basis “Revoking a prize 71 years after it remembered the victims of the Famine. issued by the Ukrainian National and status as had been established dur- was awarded under different circum- Observations of the 70th anniversary Association’s Executive Committee on ing its original membership.

  • Purifying National Historical Narratives in Russia
    A Trial in Absentia: Purifying National Historical Narratives in Russia Author(s): Olga Bertelsen Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 3 (2016): 57–87 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmhj.ukma.edu.ua/ A Trial in Absentia: Purifying National Historical Narratives in Russia1 Olga Bertelsen Columbia University, Harriman Institute Abstract This study explores contemporary Russian memory politics, and analyzes the ideological underpinnings of the 2011 Moscow court verdict that criminalized a Ukrainian scholarly publication, accusing it of inciting ethnic, racial, national, social, and religious hatred. This accusation is examined in the context of Russia’s attempts to control the official historical narrative. Special attention is paid to the role of Russian cultural and democratic civic institutions, such as the Moscow library of Ukrainian literature and Memorial, in the micro- history of this publication. Deconstructing the judicial reaction of Russian lawmakers toward the Ukrainian publication, the study analyzes the Russian political elite’s attitudes toward the “Ukrainian” historical interpretations of Stalin’s terror and other aspects of common Soviet history, and demonstrates the interconnectedness of the preceding Soviet and modern Russian methods of control over education, history, and culture. Language and legislation play an important role in Russian memory politics that shape the popular historical imagination and camouflage the authoritarian methods of governing in Russia.

  • Irish and Ukrainian Famines: Literary Images, Historical Memory and Aesthetic Emotions
    The Wenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 10.2．June 2017．51-68. Irish and Ukrainian Famines: Literary Images, Historical Memory and Aesthetic Emotions Oksana Weretiuk* ABSTRACT The following essay examines how literary images can transmit the historical memories and aesthetic emotions related to the famine experience of the people of both Ukraine and Ireland, as illustrated in five contemporary novels: Ulas Samchuk’s Maria: A Chronicle of a Life (1934); Vasyl Barka’s The Yellow Prince ( 1963); Yevhen Hutsalo’s Holodomor (1990); Mary Pat Kelly’s Galway Bay (2009); and Alexander J. Motyl’s Sweet Snow:A Novel of the Ukrainian Famine of 1933 (2013). The selected novels show that famine fiction may be an instrument contributing to the memorialization of national identity, for these literary works describe similar emotional reactions to state-induced famines, and all have powerful moral and emotional functions. The famine fiction here discussed, relating to the Irish An Gorta Mór and the Ukrainian Holodomor, fulfills the purpose of catharsis. KEYWORDS: An Gorta Mór, Holodomor, literary image, contemporary famine fiction, historical memory, aesthetic emotions * Received: December 8, 2015; Accepted: November 11, 2016 Oksana Weretiuk, Professor and the Head of Comparative Studies, University of Rzeszow, Poland ([email protected]). 52 TheWenshan Review of Literature and Culture．Vol 10.2．June 2017 Famine, the extreme scarcity of food and the long-lasting feeling of the physical need to eat something and eating nothing, a condition which generally leads to starvation and, consequently, to death, has been experienced in full by the people of Ukraine and Ireland.

  • Translations from Ukrainian Into English Language Between 1991 and 2012 a Study by the Next Page Foundation in the Framework of the Book Platform Project
    Translations from Ukrainian into English language between 1991 and 2012 a study by the Next Page Foundation in the framework of the Book Platform project conducted by Nadiya Polischuk1, translated into English by Anna Ivanchenko2 February 2013 1 Nadiya Polischuk is a literary studies scholar, Ph.D., dean of world literature chair; teaches courses on world literature of the 19th and 20th centuries and methodology of contemporary literary studies. During the research, informational support was provided by Vasyl Gabor, Ukrainian writer and publisher, and Nadiya Matviyiv, assistant professor of the chair of translation studies and contrastive linguistics named after Hryhoriy Kochur in Lviv National Ivan Franko University. 2 Anna Ivanchenko is translator and interpreter This text is licensed under Creative Commons Translations from Ukrainian into English language І. Introduction General review of Ukrainian literature translations into English allows us to note certain tendencies from the very first glance; they are different from translation process of any other national literature, which is first of all explained by historical and political factors. In their turn, these factors defined the nature of translations strictly by geographic principle, i.e. English- language translations performed on the European continent and beyond. Still, we can objectively state that the latter dominate over the former. In our opinion, there are solid reasons for that, as it is in the United States of America, Canada and Australia that powerful scientific centres and Ukrainian studies institutions are located; those were established thanks to the efforts of Ukrainian intellectuals emigrating to these parts of the world after World War II.
