I am heartily grateful for such opportunity to Professor Arkadiusz Modrzejewski and the Editorial Board of the European Journal of Transformation Studies. Century – it is rather small period of time in the history of mankind. However, it was not easy for our countries. It comes about the time of building interstate relations through the challenges of wars, divisions of territory, ambitious of national leaders, interethnic insults. Nowadays, we do have a right to state on celebrating 100 years of friendship between Ukraine and Poland. Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University, which is represented by me, demonstrated its civic position and relocated from occupied Donetsk to Vinnytsia in order to save its right for implementation of the state principles and their mission in Ukrainian education, to keep national traditions with faith in Ukrainian Donbas and unbreakable Ukrainian spirit. It is rather symbolically that meeting between the president of the Directory of the Ukrainian National Republic, Symon Petliura, and First Marshal of Poland, Józef Pilsudski took place in Vinnytsia in 1920. Moreover, here, in the heart of Ukraine, Józef Pilsudski said the legendary words: "There will be no independent Poland without independent Ukraine". The above has become a testament for plethora generations of Poles and still known as one of the postulates of Polish diplomacy. 100 years ago, Poland and Ukraine were allies during the war with Soviet Russia. Unfortunately, the history repeats itself today. Nowadays, Ukraine is in the state of war with Russian Federation, meanwhile Poland supports Ukraine in the international arena and in its fight for its territorial integrity, national interests, and national unity. The Poles remember all the crimes of the Soviet Russia, grief of the World War I, the tragedy and betrayal during the World War II. The Poles, like no one else, understand Ukraine today. During the 20th century, they have repeatedly experienced injustice and consequences of the criminal actions of the Soviet Government. The Prime Minister of Poland, Mateusz Morawiecki, emphasized the following in his statement on December 29, 2019: “Executioners and victims, who are guilty in violent crimes, cannot be confused with innocent civilians and invaded countries. We must defend the truth together for the sake of joint past and in the memory victims”. Ukrainians and Poles are aware of the difference between friendship and brotherhood, between occupation and military assistance, between victory and peace. This volume contains scientific investigations of Ukrainian, Polish and American researchers, which are dedicated to modern Ukrainian-Polish relations in terms of political transformations and social changes. Such investigations are the author’s view of people, who are not afraid to tell the truth that is necessary for maintenance and strengthening of bilateral relations between Ukraine and Poland, search for new measuring of the neighbourhood and developing the new level of positions in the international arena. 8 EJTS European Journal of Transformation Studies 2020, V. 8, No. 1 I sincerely hope that these scientific developments will facilitate the establishment of constructive cooperation between scientific schools of Ukraine, Poland and the world. Thus, we will be able to create conditions for development of the global political science, increasing the level of political awareness, constructive communication, critical thinking and strengthening of intercultural researching dialogue.

    B 20004 F GW ISSN 0001 - 0545 BULLETIN OF THE ANTIBOLSHEVIK BLOC OF NATIONS ON THE DEATH OF OLENA ANTONIV The news cut through the heart with a knife. They have killed Olena Antoniv, Mrs. Olena, Olenka. She was neither a poet, nor an artist, nor a composer. She did not write poetry. She did not compose music. She herself was music, a living melody of kindness and friendship in a savage empire of evil and cruelty. Because of this, the stupid, the cruel, the evil and the savage hated her. And they have killed her. Family, friends, the city of Lviv, the adornment of which was Olena Antoniv, have been left orphans. Together with all those persecuted for honesty in and outside Ukraine w'e are in deep sorrow, bidding farewell today... to yet another broken melody. Olena Antoniv and son Taras Svyatoslav Karavansky and Nina Strokata Munich, February 7, 1985 USSR News Brief issued the following: On February 4, in the Ukrainian city of Lviv, Olena Antoniv was killed in a car accident. Mrs. Antoniv, who was the wife of former political prisoner and poet Zinoviy Krasivsky, was very active in the framework of the Fund to Aid Political Prisoners and for this was strongly attacked in the Soviet mass media. On February 6, in Lithuania, the priest of the Cathedral of Rudamina Jozas Zdebskis was also killed in a car accident. J. Zdebskis, aged 57 was ordained a priest in 1952. In 1978 he became one of the founders of the unofficial Catholic Committee to Defend the Rights of Believers.

    SECRET DRAFT WORKING PAPER DEN. ASCU I EN AID RELEASED BY CENTIAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY SEINECESNEINIIISEXENPT INN 3111 Chapter Five OA/ 1 WAR CRIMES., SCLOSU At ACT DATE 2007 Long Experience in the Anti-Soviet Game (U) Even before the end of World War II, Allied intelligence grew intrigued by the work that the Germans had done to rally much of Europe to the Nazi cause. As the Allied armies fought across Italy and France in 1944, growing numbers of Wehrmacht prisoners who fell into British and American hands were not Germans, but Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, Russians, Baits, Cossacks, Ukrainians, and dozens of other nationalities and ethnic groups that took up arms for the Third Reich. While many of these combatants proved to be less than enthusiastic soldiers, the Nazis nonetheless raised substantial manpower from Europes non-Aryan populations. (U) Within weeks after the collapse of German resistance, Allied intelligence pondered the advantages and disadvantages of using for its own purposes the numerous émigré groups that sought shelter in the West. As the US Army took up occupation duties in Austria and Germany, it encountered members of these groups who claimed to be not only anti-Nazi, but also anticommunist. Sorting out the various factions, their leaders, philosophical goals, motivations, and backgrounds took up an increasing amount of time and effort on the part of American intelligence as tensions mounted between the East and the West. 1 (S) 'As an example, X-2 in Munich came into contact with Lithuanians in the summer of 1945, but was told to leave those groups alone for SI's exploitation.

  • Online Language Use and Identity of Ukrainian Diaspora in Germany 1
    Advanced Linguistics 7 / 2021 DOI 10.20535/2617-5339.2021.7.230972 Anastasiia Kuznietsova Doctorat en linguistique Université Sorbonne Paris Cité ORCID ID 0000-0002-7256-8215 [email protected] Online language use and identity of Ukrainian diaspora in Germany Abstract. This article studies the language use and identity of Ukrainian communities in Germany on the websites and in online social media. Since 2014, the conflict in the East of Ukraine has led to a remarkably large and intense flow of Ukrainian migrants to Western Europe and Germany in particular giving rise to longstanding issues of identity formation and language use both within Ukraine and inside Ukrainian diaspora communities around the globe. This article examines Ukrainian diaspora in Germany on the subject of language ideologies, practices and identity shaping by analyzing its linguistic online activity. To do so, our analysis draws on a range of interdisciplinary methodologies, including studies of descriptive reporting of diaspora’s online discussions, its language practices and attitudes, and studies of discursive constructions of nationhood, which explore language indexing in relation to national identity negotiation. It is stated that Ukrainian is used as the default language on websites and in social media communication, and is central in those interactions (German and Russian are used to considerably lesser degrees). As the analysis demonstrated, it is rather difficult to find a vast breadth of sources where speakers used language code-switching. However, there appeared to be more use of code-switching and linguistic variety on Facebook groups (mostly between Russian and Ukrainian languages) than websites, perhaps because the latter two are viewed as being slightly archaic for communication purposes of the community.

  • How the Ukrainian Diasporic Community in Germany Contributes to EU’S Policy in Its Home Country
    How the Ukrainian Diasporic Community in Germany Contributes to EU’s Policy in its Home Country Ljudmyla Melnyk, Magdalena Patalong, Julian Plottka, Richard Steinberg Policy Paper on Eastern Europe and Central Asia No 02/16 Abstract Civic engagement of Ukrainians for their home country has dramatically increased since the protests on the Majdan in Kyiv started in November 2013. Based on the results of a research project on Ukrainian civic engagement in Germany and Poland, the paper presents first results on the development of an Ukrainian civil society in Germany. Following a mapping of the non-state actors involved and their fields of activity with regard to their support of Ukraine, the paper analyses why people are voluntarily getting engaged and what they are aiming for. Finally, the paper discusses whether these activities contribute to the EU’s policy towards Ukraine and how the EU could further support these actors in order to benefit from their activities.

  • 3 ІСТОРІЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ЖУРНАЛІСТИКИ Serhiy Blavatskyy
    ІСТОРІЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ЖУРНАЛІСТИКИ Serhiy Blavatskyy THE UKRAINIAN GERMAN-LANGUAGE PRESS IN THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC (1918—1933s) The article aims to make a comprehensive and synthetic overview of the Ukrainian German-language press’ corpus in the Weimar Republic (1918—1933s). For the first time ever in the media history, we have iden tified, systematized and explored eight Ukrainian print media in the German language of that period on the basis of their empirical study de visu. The paper seeks to develop new avenues for the study of the Ukrai- nian information and propagandist, as well as socio-cultural activities in Germany in a retrospective of the 20th century. Keywords: Ukrainian, German-language, the Weimar Republic, Ger- many, Berlin, Munich, press, newspaper, magazine, bulletin. Стаття ставить за мету здійснити всебічне, синтетичне до- слідження корпусу української німецькомовної преси у Веймарській Республіці (1918—1933 рр.). Вперше ми ідентифікували, системати- зували та дослідили вісім українських періодичних видань німецькою мовою зазначеного періоду на основі їхнього емпіричного дослідження de visu. Розвідка націлена на те, щоби розробити нові напрями для дослідження української інформаційно-пропагандистської та соціокультурної діяльності в Німеччині у ретроспективі ХХ ст. Ключові слова: український, німецькомовний, Веймарська Рес- публіка, Німеччина, Берлін, Мюнхен, преса, газета, журнал, бюле- тень. A contemporary state and development of long-term mutually ben- eficial, a constructive and stable collaboration between Germany and Ukraine in the perspective of the XXI century require researchers to study comprehensively the German-Ukrainian complex and controver- sial relations in retrospective. 3 Moreover, the current European integration of Ukraine1 makes relevant its European legacy. The intensification of the European inte- gration of the Ukrainian state in perspective of the 21st century2 makes relevant the European heritage of the Ukrainians in retrospective.
