  • One Ukraine Or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences
    Nationalities Papers, Vol. 32, No. 1, March 2004 One Ukraine or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences Lowell W. Barrington & Erik S. Herron Intra-state regional differences are a central topic in the study of European and Eurasian politics. In Ukraine, regional differences have proven to be powerful predictors of mass attitudes and political behavior. But what does the “regional factor” in Ukrainian politics represent? Is it simply the result of compositional effects, or are the regional differences more than just a sum of other demographic factors correlated with geographic divisions? When analyzing regional divisions as an explanatory variable, what are the implications of employing different regional frameworks? In this article, we demonstrate how geographic divisions in the country hold up even when others factors—such as ethnicity and language use—are con- trolled for. As part of this inquiry, we compare the results of three competing regional frameworks for Ukraine: one with two regions, one with four regions and one with eight regions. While the eight-region framework is uncommon in studies of Ukraine, the decision to examine eight regions is supported by historical, economic and demographic arguments, as well as by the results of the statistical analyses presented in this article. Scholars who have focused on fewer regions in Ukraine may have underestimated the effects of regional differences and missed interesting stories about intra-state variation in Ukrainian attitudes and voting behavior. The results of this study carry important implications not only for the study of Ukraine but also for those interested in intra-state regional divisions across Europe and Eurasia.

The fleet of public transport rolling stock needs to be updated. The average age of the trolleybus is 27.5 years, the tram is 32.5 years old and the standard period of operation is 10 and 15 years, respectively. Road accidents are frequent and road markings are absent on a variety of secondary roads and alleys, where it is particularly important to replenish the markings. In terms of walking infrastructure in the city, Zhytomyr has a problem of narrow pedestrian walkways, which are common in residential areas. Most traffc lights have no sound equipment. The street lighting focuses only on roads, which leads to insuffcient lighting on the sidewalks.

  • Jews in the Russian Empire (With a Focus on Ukraine) Imperial
    Prof. Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern Northwestern University, Illinois E-mail: [email protected] Jews in the Russian Empire (with a focus on Ukraine) Lviv Summer School Jewish History, Multiethnic Past, and Common Heritage: Urban Experience in Eastern Europe July 13 – August 7, 2015 Center for Urban History. Lviv, Ukraine BRIEF DESCRIPTION This intensive 5-lecture mini-course (12 academic hours) introduces key broad themes that explore modernization and anti-modernization, urbanization and migration, secularization and acculturation and a new stratification of the Jewish society in East Europe. While it looks at the Russian empire and its western borderlands and Austrian Empire and its eastern borderlands, it focuses on Ukraine in its to-date geographical boundaries that include Galicia and Bukovina. The course does not have any prerequisites and provides broad contextualization of the self- imposed and empire-orchestrated reforms within the Jewish society against the backdrop of the Late Imperial Russia and the “long nineteenth century.” Students’ progress will be evaluated by a final in-class test based on short essay-type 10-15 lines answers to 5-7 questions. Session one Imperial integration: from the estates through conscription Following the top-down enlightenment-inspired imperial attempts to reform the Jewish communities in France, Austria and Prussia, the Russian imperial authorities began their controversial reform of the newly acquired Polish Jews. They began with enrolling Jews into urban estates (sosloviia), legalizing their presence in the empire, institutionalizing the Pale of Jewish Settlement, and acculturating them through the military (rekrutchyna). This session explores the rationale behind the imperial reform of the Jews and compares acculturation patterns in Western and Eastern Europe, with a special focus on Polish and Ukrainian territories.
