Theoretically speaking, several factors have contributed to the prominent role of religion in “belated” nation buildings. Such a prominent role is present when religion is the central element of proto-national mythology;ethnie or when religion has provided the forging nation with its symbolic boundaries, leading to the dissolution of earlier collectivities; or/and when a nation-making (ethnic group) has lost other important identity markers (such as common language or shared territory); or/and when the ethnic core of the modern nation coincides with a religious nationaffiliation; building. and, finally, when a newly formed nation has been deprived of political institutions, thereby leaving the Church as the sole remaining force for institutional The forerunners1 of Ukrainian nationalism did not consider religion as the “Ukrainian navel,” although they undoubtedly alluded to the significance of religion for the forging of Ukrainian ethnic identity. Different variations of this theme are found in the writings of the forerunners of the Ukrainian national movement, such as the writings of Panteleimon Kulish, Mykola Kostomarov, as well as in the works of outstanding figures of the Ukrainian national pantheon (Taras Shevchenko, Mykhailo Dragomanov and Ivan Franko). It is also present in the writings of those authors whose nationalism was expressed in explicitly political forms (such as, for instance, Julian Vassian or Mykola Mykhnovskyi). Specifically, for generations of Ukrainian nationalists, the writings of Mykola Mykhnovskyi served as the main frame of reference.

His car was still decorated with the Polish flag, as it had been throughout the trip. But he had been hoping to add a Ukraine flag to his collection, as a way to commemorate his first-ever trip to the neigh- boring country and fellow Euro 2012 co-host. Stopping for gas, Mr. Pietrzyk and his friends Jacek and Piotrek were approached by a Ukrainian who evidently had the same idea. The men exchanged flags and posed for a photograph.

  • Xenophobia, Radical Nationalism and Hate Speech in 2017-18 in Ukraine (Report on the Program "Xenophobia, Radicalism and Hate Crimes in Europe, 2017-18”)
    Ruslan Bortnik, Director of the Ukrainian Institute of Analysis and Management of Policy (UIAMP) Maxim Semenov Expert, UIAMP Xenophobia, Radical Nationalism and Hate Speech in 2017-18 in Ukraine (Report on the program "Xenophobia, radicalism and hate crimes in Europe, 2017-18”) In 2017, a number of changes in legislation were adopted that affected the interests of minorities in Ukraine during the year. The impact is very significant and concerns such sensitive aspects of human rights as the language of education and language quotas in the media. On September 28, 2017 a new law “On Education” came into force in this country.1 The most acute problem with this law is the question of the language of education in Ukraine. The law introduces an actual ban on education in any language other than Ukrainian. From 2018, the teaching of subjects in the languages of national minorities will only be available in elementary schools. Four hundred thousand children will not be able to receive education in their native language. From grade 5, the teaching of subjects in the languages of national minorities is almost completely eliminated. As of 2020, education in Ukraine will exclusively in Ukrainian. Only subjects such as foreign languages, literature, and folklore will be taught in the languages of national minorities. 17 per cent of Ukrainian citizens are Russians, 0.5 per cent are Belarusians, Moldovans and Crimean Tatars. Under these conditions, the denial of the right to study in their native language in schools means depriving millions of Ukrainian citizens of basic human rights. More than 20 per cent of Ukrainian citizens are not ethnic Ukrainians, and for more than a third of Ukrainian citizens Ukrainian is not their native language.

The festival, a key component of Soyuzivka’s arts program, this year is head- lined by Vika (Vika Vasilevich), a singer and songwriter from Ukraine who is making her mark on the American music scene.

  • Statement on the Ukrainian-American Strategic Partnership We, The
    Statement On the Ukrainian-American Strategic Partnership We, the representatives of Ukrainian politics, civil society, and the expert community, are deeply concerned to watch a campaign to involve Ukraine in the political competition in the United States unfold with renewed vigor. Ukraine greatly appreciates the steadfast support of the American people for our independence, security, and Western course. Our nations share the common values of national and human freedom. The combined efforts of the two largest political parties in the United States and all concerned Americans to defend Ukraine are a major historical contribution to the creation of a united Europe and a just world order. We call on American leaders to distinguish between the position of new Ukraine, which stands for the unity of the West and acts to unite democracies around the world, and those forces that seek to turn the political developments in our country into a toxic narrative to sow discord among our partners. We oppose the dishonest attempts to use the political controversies in the United States. We do not choose any side, but support each of them in the same way that they together help Ukraine’s independence. We call on America’s leaders to distinguish between the position of our nation from the actions of politicians instigated by Moscow. We condemn hostile provocations aimed at alienating our nations. We believe in the strategic partnership between Ukraine and the United States. Let us not allow mutual distrust and doubt to erode this great and lasting relationship. Let us stand together in times of great trials.

  • Religion and the Secular State in Ukraine
    GENNADIY DRUZENKO Religion and the Secular State in Ukraine I. SOCIAL CONTEXT Historically, Ukraine is a religiously diverse country with a fairly high level of religious freedom and a rather religious population. Within a regional scope, Ukraine might be described as one of the most religious countries in Europe.1 According to recent studies, between 74.7 percent2 and 89.5 percent3 of Ukrainians declare themselves as believers and almost three-fourths of the Ukrainian population deems that every religion should be respected.4 Sociological surveys show that religious organizations enjoy great trust within Ukrainian society: since 2000, when regular surveys were launched, between 60 and 70 percent of respondents have expressed that they trust or almost trust the Church5 (in this context, term ―the Church‖ is used as a collective name for religious institutions and not for a specific religious denomination). However, Ukrainians could hardly be described as devout, since only 22.4 percent of believers attend church at least once a month, more than 57 percent attend religious services once or several times a year, and 20.3 percent never or very rarely take part in public worship.6 More than one-third of people who declare themselves believers never pray or pray only several times a year, whereas an additional 16.1 percent prays several times a month.7 Moreover, 44 percent of respondents stated that they believe in their own way to communicate with God beyond any church or religious service.8 Thus, it is not surprising that more than 56 percent of Ukrainian believers consider themselves as moderately religious.9 Perhaps such internal, non-institutionalized faith, coupled with religious tolerance, is one of the principal peculiarities of Ukrainian religiosity.
