  • Ukraine and Russia in Their Historical Encounter
    Hans-Joachim Torke The Unloved Alliance: Political Relations between Muscovy and Ukraine in the Seventeenth Century The manifold relations between Russia and Ukraine in the seventeenth cen¬ tury were played out on at least three levels: official relations on the political, diplomatic and military level; semi-official relations in the ecclesiastical- pedagogical and commercial sectors; and unofficial relations concerned with spiritual and cultural influences. Both the latter complexes are related to the first and cannot be disregarded here, although this article focuses on political events and on the way in which they were understood by decision-makers. My purpose here is not to employ well-known and frequently consulted sources in order to elicit yet another interpretation of the Pereiaslav Agreement of 1654 or the character of relations between Muscovy and the Hetmanate in the ensuing period. Concerning Pereiaslav, there exist at least seven different interpretations (temporary alliance, personal union, real union, vassalage, protectorate, autonomy and incorporation), and in regard to the second topic, there is also a range of interpretations from full independence to complete in¬ corporation of the Cossack state. No Western scholar has yet written an account that goes beyond O’Brien’s monograph to take in the whole century.1 The question remains whether the period from the first contacts of the Dnieper Cossacks with Muscovy in the sixteenth century to the end of the Great Northern War in 1721, examined as a whole, yields a perspective on Muscovite policy that can be reconciled with the formula “Russian Imperialism from Ivan the Great to the Revolution.”2 It may be recalled that the historical roots of Russian imperialism were discussed in the American Slavic and East European Review in the early 1950s.

Accommodation of the groups of coats of arms symbol, in the iconostasis, not just the coat of arms of the donor, indicates that that meaning was the plan that can be understood only in semantic programme of iconostasis. In the system of iconic (portrait) images of the iconostasis, the coats of arms is understood as a kind of codes, that were associated to a specific person, becoming not only his distinctive sign or sign with legal meaning, but the symbol, denoting the person and functioning as his portrait. In this sense emblems formally did not conflict with other personal images in the iconostasis and could be included in its symbolical space.

    Honouring the Past Creating the Future NaUKMA Presidents Address In the early 90s, a group of enthusiasts started building the first high- quality pro-Ukrainian university, oriented at world academic and educational standards. Today, reviewing our accomplishments, we can say with confidence that we have already built such a university. Kyiv-Mohyla Academy during all its history was much more than just a university. It was a focal point for national development. It became the place where an innovative educational model was cre- ated, and today this model is being disseminated nationwide. The National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy is one of the intellectu- ally strongest and most prestigious universities of our country, the initiator of most educational reforms introduced in Ukraine. NaUKMA brings together the best, the most talented people «of all estates and titles» (academicians, students, businesspeople, public activists, politicians and artists) inspiring them to achieve that which Vyacheslav Briukhovetskyi seemed impossible when these people were unconnected. Through Hero of Ukraine, Doctor of the vehicle of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Ukraine is returning to its Euro- Philology, Honorary President pean intellectual and academic roots. of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy Our goal is to create a high-quality Ukrainian University, able to com- pete at an international level. This journey and our achievements along the way allow us to state with confidence that the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy is better integrated into the world academic community than any other Ukrainian university, and that all educational innovations that have appeared in Ukraine after 1991, were first introduced in our university.
