Here And There The year 1968 promises an acceleration of the pace of liberation activities of the nations enslaved by Russian imperialists and Communists. An increasing number of reports on the internal decomposition processes in the imperial power structure is coming from Ukraine, Caucasus, Turkestan, Byelorussia, as well as from the “satellite” states in Central Europe. The colonial despots are unable to check the anti-imperial and anti-totalitarian trends. Nikita Khrushchov was ousted from the imperial throne mainly because of his inability to master these opposing trends. Successors of Stalin instituted the so-called de-Stalinization. Prominent activists of the non-Russian enslaved nations talk freely of the need to de-Brezhnevize and de-Khrushchovize. Ukrainian journalist and poet-trans­ lator S. J. Karavanskyi (serving a 25-year slave-prison term in the Mordovian ASSR), Ukrainian jurist Ivan O. Kandyba (serving a 15-year sentence in the Mordovian ASSR) or journalist V. Chornovil (sentenced in Lviv last November to 3 years in a slave labour camp) — indict the present colonial regime for the same criminal policies that have been perpetrated by Stalin. The time is drawing closer when de-Leninization will have to take place. In the Free World two factors may serve notice of the quickening pace of activities directed against the Russian empire, namely, the establishment in 1967 of two international organizations — the European Freedom Council and the World Anti-Communist League. From Korea and Japan through Ceylon, Israel and Greece to Denmark and Canada people are becoming convinced that the main enemy of mankind is not Marxism or the “Soviet Union” but Russian imperial­ ism as the real dynamic driving force behind the facade of Marxism, “Socialism”, Communism and Sovietism. The trend to place Communist China as a number one enemy of mankind, noticed during the last few years, has been reversed and now a more realistic view is emerging: that all Communists, be they Russian, Maoist, Titoist or Castroist — are the enemies of national and personal freedoms. In 1968 as in previous years the Russian imperialists will try to forestall the dissolution of the empire by terror, persecution, mass deportations, misinfor­ mation, nuclear blackmail and the overtures of peaceful co-existence. One method of disarming the anti-Communists in the free nations is to let such persons as Svetlana Aleluyeva “escape”. They advocate the need to do away with some compromising injustices and brutalities in the Russian empire while urging the free people not to attack the source of all evil — Russian imperialism itself, for allegedly the Russian people are also enslaved and the free men should not combat the Russians — only "Communism”. Thus, the Free World’s eyes and hearts are turned to the problem of the “suffering and poor” Russians while for­ getting the subjugated nations — the Achilles’ heel of the Russian empire — and the need to assist their national anti-imperial liberation struggle. Now more than ever the free peoples should influence the growing conflict within the Russian empire with the intention to enlarge this conflict between the Brezhnev-Shelepin-Rudenko tyrants on the one hand and the non-Russian intelligentsia, students, workers and peasant forces demanding national-social- 1 personal freedoms on the other hand. This can be accomplished by publishing the works of Ukrainian, Byelorussian, Turkestanian, Georgian, Baltic and other writers, scholars and artists, whose works are prohibited or censored by the enslavers and by expanding liberation broadcasts into the captive nations. Fur­ thermore, jurists, scholars, PEN-Clubs, journalists, artists, women, students, workers and farmers should conduct international campaigns in defence of their counterparts. A broad informational and protest campaign should be conducted in the United Nations and affiliated organizations. This year the 20th anniversary of the U.N. Declaration on Human Rights is being observed. It should be pointed out that presently Russian chauvinism is the main enemy and obstacle to the human rights and liberties. It endeavours to destroy millions of people by Russi­ fication of their languages, discrimination on nationality grounds and glorification of the Russian culture and historical achievements and its mission to dominate and Russify the whole world. The coming internal developments in the Russian empire are difficult to pro­ ject. The Russians possess technical power by means of which they can physi­ cally crush the liberation forces, or they can resist the advance of the freedom forces by limited means. The first course is possible, but the second one is more probable. The decomposition of the empire has gone so far that the return to “war Communism” of Lenin’s Chekist times or to Stalinism would generate such a reaction among many Communist parties and various Leftist groups, particu­ larly the Russophile co-existentialist circles, that Moscow would probably not resort to direct extermination and genocide. The second course means resistance to the march of national liberation forces by sophisticated means. Therefore, we can predict that liberation nationalism will register advances and victories. Where, when and how it will happen is impossible to know. The ways of national liberation revolutions are rationally unpredictable; they are like waves of an onrushing flood: nobody can determine when and where they crush through the barriers. The rise of the revolutionary wave is evident from the increasing number of armed skirmishes between the revolutionaries and the occupation forces, from the growing number of people who are not afraid to criticise and expose the empire, from the political trials which are becoming more frequent, from stiffer sentences aimed at terrorizing the enslaved peoples and from many secret trials, indicating the fear of making martyrs. The free people have an opportunity to strengthen the liberation processes behind the Russian Iron Curtain. The responsibility for this rests to a large extent with the World Anti-Communist League, the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations and the European Freedom Council. They should convince the information media not to propagate the co-existence with the Russian empire and not to incline to the Leftist pro-Russian views and not to discriminate against the liberation struggle of the enslaved peoples. These anti-Communist organizations should bring the heroism, martyrdom, persecution and terrible living conditions of the freedom fighters to the attention of world public opinion.

BOOK REVIEWS With their Backs to the Mountains: A History of Carpathian Rus´ and Carpatho-Rusyns. By Paul Robert Magocsi. Budapest: Central European University Press, 2015. 550 pp. Paul Robert Magocsi has authored numerous books on the history of Central and Eastern Europe, Ukraine, and particularly the region he calls Carpathian Rus´. In his new book, With their Backs to the Mountains: A History of Carpathian Rus´ and Carpatho-Rusyns, he understands Carpathian Rus´ as a territory inhabited predominantly by a people whom some consider part of the Ukrainian nation, others a distinct ethnographic group within it, while still others, including Magocsi, an entirely separate nation. The belief that Rusyns are an independent nation with a history the roots of which stretch back to the Middle Ages can be seen as the central thesis of the book, which is, like most works that have the character of a textbook, more descriptive than analytical. The territory dominated by this group ranges on both sides of Carpathians from eastern Slovakia to the Ukrainian–Romanian borderland.

  • The Making of the Poetic Subject in Vasyl Stus's
    ‘A FRAGMENT OF WHOLENESS’: THE MAKING OF THE POETIC SUBJECT IN VASYL STUS’S PALIMPSESTS Bohdan Tokarskyi St John’s College University of Cambridge The dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2019 PREFACE This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit of 80,000 words. ii ABSTRACT Bohdan Tokarskyi ‘A Fragment of Wholeness’: The Making of the Poetic Subject in Vasyl Stus’s Palimpsests My PhD thesis investigates the exploration of the self and the innovative poetical language in the works of the Ukrainian dissident poet and Gulag prisoner Vasyl Stus (1938-1985). Focusing on Stus’s magnum opus collection Palimpsests (1971-1979), where the poet casts the inhuman conditions of his incarceration to the periphery and instead engages in radical introspection, I show how Stus’s poetry foregrounds the very making of the subject as the constant pursuit of the authentic self. Through my examination of unpublished archival materials, analysis of Stus’s underexplored poems, and the contextualisation of the poet’s works within the tradition of the philosophy of becoming, I propose a new reading of Palimpsests, one that redirects scholarly attention from the historical and political to the psychological and philosophical.

It presents them as part of the intangible culture of the vanishing ethnic group. The traditional elements of physical culture of the Lemko community, especially fun and games have been presented on the basis of the general characteristics of this ethnic group, and the entire history of the presence of the Lemkos in Poland. Folk fun and games, as a form of physical activity are presented in the broad sense of physical and cultural system and the Lemko community located within the cultural system. The need for such a study is due to the fact that there are no other ethnological or cultural anthropology studies on physical culture of this ethnic group. Key words: Lemkos, physical culture, fun and games, religious rites, social rituals, leisure sociology, ethnology, cultural anthropology Introduction During the 2011 National Census the Lemko nationality was declared by 10,000 people, compared with the 38.5 million In European culture, traditional games and activities of folk population of Poland, including half of the respondents sur- nature, as well as dances and other forms of physical activity are veyed declaring it as the only nationality, 2,000 people indi- an important component of any national culture [1].

  • Iuliia Kysla
    Rethinking the Postwar Era: Soviet Ukrainian Writers Under Late Stalinism, 1945-1949 by Iuliia Kysla A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Iuliia Kysla, 2018 Abstract This dissertation advances the study of late Stalinism, which has until recently been regarded as a bizarre appendage to Stalin’s rule, and aims to answer the question of whether late Stalinism was a rupture with or continuation of its prewar precursor. I analyze the reintegration of Ukrainian writers into the postwar Soviet polity and their adaptation to the new realities following the dramatic upheavals of war. Focusing on two parallel case studies, Lviv and Kyiv, this study explores how the Soviet regime worked with members of the intelligentsia in these two cities after 1945, at a time when both sides were engaged in “identification games.” This dissertation demonstrates that, despite the regime’s obsession with control, there was some room for independent action on the part of Ukrainian writers and other intellectuals. Authors exploited gaps in Soviet discourse to reclaim agency, which they used as a vehicle to promote their own cultural agendas. Unlike the 1930s, when all official writers had to internalize the tropes of Soviet culture, in the postwar years there was some flexibility in an author’s ability to accept or reject the Soviet system. Moreover, this dissertation suggests that Stalin’s postwar cultural policy—unlike the strategies of the 1930s, which relied predominantly on coercive tactics—was defined mainly by discipline by humiliation, which often involved bullying and threatening members of the creative intelligentsia.
