We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

Mr. Neskoromnyi, a former SBU colonel, allegedly plotted the assassination with currently serving Col. Yuriy Rasiuk of the SBU’s Alpha anti-terrorist unit. The alleged target was 38-year-old Brig.

Dissertation Advisor: Catherine Evtuhov, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Based upon a reading of Ottoman, Russian, and Bulgarian archival documents, this dissertation examines the response by the Ottoman and Russian states to the accelerated pace of migration and spread of disease in the Black Sea region from the outbreak of the Russo-Ottoman War of 1768-1774 to the signing of the Treaty of Hünkar Iskelesi in 1833. Building upon introductory chapters on the Russian-Ottoman Black Sea frontier and a case study of Bulgarian population movements between the Russian and Ottoman Empires, this dissertation analyzes Russian and Ottoman migration and settlement policies, the spread of epidemic diseases (plague and cholera) in the Black Sea region, the construction of quarantines and the implementation of travel document regimes. The role and position of the Danubian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia as the “middle ground” between the Ottoman and Russian Empires

  • The Ukrainian Bible and the Valuev Circular of July 18, 1863
    Acta Slavica Iaponica, Tomus 28, pp. 1‒21 Articles The Ukrainian Bible and the Valuev Circular of July 18, 1863 Andrii Danylenko On July 18 of 1863, a circular sent by Pёtr Valuev,1 Russia’s minister of internal affairs, to the censorship committees imposed restrictions on Ukraini- an-language publications in the Russian Empire. In accordance with this docu- ment, the Censorship Administration could “license for publication only such books in this language that belong to the realm of fine literature; at the same time, the authorization of books in Little Russian with either spiritual content or intended generally for primary mass reading should be ceased.”2 The gen- esis of this circular, which was incorporated into a later act limiting Ukrainian- language publishing, namely, the so-called Ems Decree of May 18, 1876, has been the focus of numerous studies. Various historians (Fedir Savčenko, David Saunders, Alexei Miller, Ricarda Vulpius) tackled the emergence of the Valuev Circular from various points of view that appear sometimes complementary, sometimes kaleidoscopic, while covering loosely related aspects of the prob- lem. In this paper, the Valuev Circular will be addressed in the context of the appearance of modern translations of the Holy Scriptures into vernacular Ukrainian, thus expanding conventional approaches to the initiation of pro- hibitive measures against the Ukrainian language. ON THE GENESIS OF THE CIRCULAR Among circumstantial theories, premised on some secondary aspects of the genesis of the Valuev Circular, deserving of attention is Remy’s recent at- tempt to treat the appearance of anti-Ukrainian edicts as an incidental intru- sion of the individual into the historical chain of events.

The paper suggests a twofold imagological1 analysis in order to answer how the second generation of Ukrainian immigrants in Great Britain (children of the post-WWII political migration) perceives, the Ukrainian newcomer, the economic immigrant from a post-communist state, who looks strange and other for them and how the reader, in his turn, perceives the Ukrainianness of the first and the second. It also underlines that Marina Lewycka infuses the Ukrainian history (past and modern) with a unique sense of humour based on cultural varieties. Her English-Ukrainian and Ukrainian-English characters are observed from different perspectives.

  • Linguistic Ukrainization, 1923-1932
    3 Linguistic Ukrainization, 1923-1932 On October 10, 1920, Stalin published an artide in Pravda that for the first time authoritatively announced the Soviet policy of korenizatsiia: "It is nec- essary that all Soviet organs in the borderlands-the courts, the administration, the economic organs, organs oflocal power (as well as Party organs)-be com- posed to the greatest possible degree of people who know the customs, habits and language of the local population. »1 Korenizatsiia, as definitively formulated at party congresses in March 1921 and April 1923, consisted of two major tasks: the creation of national elites (Affirmative Action) and the promotion oflocal nationallanguages to a dominant position in the non-Russian territories (lin- guistic korenizatsiia). Linguistic korenizatsiia would prove much more difficult to achieve. Between April 1923 and December 1932, central party and soviet organs issued dozens of resolutions urging the immediate implementation of linguistic korenizatsiia. Local republican and oblast authorities issued hundreds, if not thousands, of similar decrees. Nevertheless, linguistic korenizatsiia failed almost everywhere. Why? 1 initially assumed that central authorities must have been sending mixed signals, publidy trumpeting the need for irnmediate korenizatsiia while privately letting it be known that this public rhetoric was largely for show. 1 was wrong. Not only did the soft-line soviet bureaucracies in charge of nationalities policy, such as TsIK's Soviet of Nationalities and VTsIK's Nationalities Depart- ment, vigilantly monitor the implementation of korenizatsiia, hard-line organs attached to the party's Central Committee were equally vigilant.

  • Literary History Conceptions of B
    Journal of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University 92 Stepan Khorob http://jpnu.pu.if.ua Vol. 6, No. 2 (2019), 92-98 UDC 82(091):821.161.2 doi: 10.15330/jpnu.6.2.92-98 LITERARY HISTORY CONCEPTIONS OF B. LEPKY STEPAN KHOROB Abstract: The article addresses the issue of the methodological conceptualism developed by Ukrainian literary historian Bohdan Lepky. The analysis proves that his textbook Nacherk istorii ukrainskoi literatury (An Essay on the History of Ukrainian Literature) retains its literary value and its place among the textbooks and study guides published in the first half of the 20th century. Keywords: B. Lepky, national writings, methodology, conceptions, history of Ukrainian literature. It appears that until recently, only literary critics have been able to discuss the activity of Bohdan Lepky as a historian of Ukrainian national literature. And it does not look as if it had been their main scientific interest (see the literary critical essays of Zenon Kuzela, Vasyl Simovych, Mykola Ilnytskyi, Roman Hromiak, Volodymyr Kachkan; and the general critical reviews of Mykola Yevshan, Bohdan Romanenchuk, Marian Kozak, Mykhailo Naienko, Oleksa Myshanych). The scholars who studied Bohdan Lepky’s literary-historical legacy often made references to the works of Ivan Franko, Dmytro Chyzhevsky, Mykhailo Vozniak, Yevhen Pelenskyi; the latter discussed, in one way or another, the factor of methodological conceptualism in the history of Ukrainian literature. Yet the methodological conceptions of Bohdan Lepky as a historian of Ukrainian literature have not been studied comprehensively. Now, in the light of researches carried out by national literary critics and diaspora scholars (Serhiy Yefremov, Mykola Zerov, Pavlo Fylypovych, Dmytro Chyzhevsky, Leonid Biletsky, Mykola Hnatyshak, Yevhen Pelenskyi, Marian Jakóbiec), the importance of this aspect of Bohdan Lepky’s activity has become evident; it is clear that the study of his methodological instruments requires a new approach.
