An incisive and prolific writer, Holubnychy had a wide range of interest that is reflected in this collection of essays: Ukrainian politics; Soviet regional economics, especially the position of Ukraine within the Soviet economic system; Marxist thought and its dissemination beyond Soviet borders; Soviet economic thought; and more specialized topics in economics. In addition to his scholarly contributions, Holubnychy examined current political events in the journal Vpered (Forward), a Ukrainian workers’ newspaper in Munich, using a variety of pseudonyms and on occasion writing anonymously.
Of the nine essays included in this volume, three are published here for the first time: “The Agrarian Revolution in Ukraine”; “Marxography and Marxology”; and “V.V. Novozhilov’s Theory of Value.” The rest are among Holubnychy’s finest works and are reprinted by permission. Throughout his life, the author remained a controversial figure in the Ukrainian emigration. As he was forthright and outspoken, his works engendered much discussion. This collection is a fine tribute to a talented and perceptive scholar whose analytical powers had few equals during his lifetime and have been sorely missed since his death.
This book also includes a bibliography of published works by Vsevolod Holubnychy (compiled by Osyp Danko). See Industry, Dolyna oil field, and Dnieper Hydroelectric Station in the Encyclopedia of Ukraine.

<p>The great Ukrainian-Kuban famine of 1932–33—the Holodomor—was one of the determinative events of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, it was largely ignored by scholars until the last few years of the existence of the Soviet Union. One of the scholars who began studying the famine in the late 1980s was Andrea Graziosi, now an internationally recognized specialist on the Soviet state and its policies toward the peasantry and one of the world’s leading authorities on the Holodomor. From 14 to 21 November 2009 he visited Toronto and Edmonton to lecture on “The Holodomor and the Soviet Famines, 1931–33”</p>
<p>The title of the lecture is indicative of Dr. Graziosi s comprehensive approach to the study of the Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine and the Kuban within the context of Soviet state policy toward the peasantry from 1917 to 1933 and, more particularly, the pan- Soviet famines of 1931–33, including the Kazakhstan famine-cum-epidemics of 1931–33. In the lecture, he analyzed the common causes of these famines and posited that the Ukrainian famine was the culminating act in a great war of the Soviet state and the Communist Party against the peasantry that began in 1917. Outlining the policies of the Soviet leaders and their consequences for the Soviet peasantry as a whole, Dr. Graziosi also took account of specific conditions in the non-Russian regions of the USSR that led the Stalin regime to treat them differently.</p>
<p>Focusing on the Holodomor, he identified some of its special features and national characteristics. Particularly telling, in his view, were Moscow’s exclusive policies taken against the peasantry in Ukraine and the Kuban region in the North Caucasus, which led to an exceptionally large number of deaths there. If the mortality rate in the countryside in 1926 can be assigned the number 100 per 1,000 rural inhabitants, in 1933 it was almost 400 per 1,000 in Soviet Ukraine, while in the Russian SFSR it was about 140 per 1,000. Excluding Kazakhstan, then part of Russia, and the North Caucasus, where there was a large Ukrainian population, the death rate in the Russian republic in 1933 was about 110 per 1,000 rural inhabitants. An important factor in the high death rate was the decree forbidding and preventing peasants from Ukraine and the Kuban to leave for other areas of the USSR in search of food.</p>
<p>Dr. Graziosi also noted other measures taken against Ukrainians in this period or immediately afterward. These included the mass purge of the Bolshevik Party in Soviet Ukraine, the persecution and physical destruction of the republic’s nationally conscious intelligentsia and middle-level national cadres, and the reversal of Ukrainization policies in Ukraine and their total abolition in the Russian SFSR. All these factors, as well as other special measures taken against Ukraine’s peasantry and its political and cultural elites, have prompted scholars and legal experts to raise the question of whether the Holodomor is a case of or an integral part of a genocide.</p>
<p>Dr. Graziosi has concluded that the Holodomor was a genocide and that the Ukrainian-Kuban famine of 1932–33 fits the definition of genocide specified in the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide, especially Article 2, Section C, which states that among genocidal acts are those “Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.” He noted that his own views on this question have evolved, for during the initial years of his study of the Holodomor he was not convinced of its genocidal nature. Dr. Graziosi believes that in time more and more scholars will come to the same conclusion as he did. While the prospect of a scholarly consensus promotes optimism with regard to general recognition of the Holodomor as genocide, Dr. Graziosi also believes that the Russian government will never acknowledge it as such, since this might provoke demands for monetary reparations to survivors and their descendants.</p>
<p>Dr. Graziosi delivered his two lectures on the famine at the universities of Toronto and Alberta. The Toronto lecture, which took place on 17 November, was co-sponsored by the Petro Jacyk Program for the Study of Ukraine at the Centre for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies, University of Toronto; the Toronto Office of CIUS; the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (Toronto Branch); and the Canadian Foundation for Ukrainian Studies. The Edmonton lecture, which took place on 20 November, was sponsored by CIUS. Dr. Graziosi also lectured at both universities on “Stalin’s Foreign and Domestic Policies: Dealing with the National Question in an Imperial Context, 1901–1926.”<br /><br /></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;">Andrea Graziosi is currently professor of history at the University of Naples “Federico II” and president (2007–11) of the Italian Society for the Study of Contemporary History (www.sissco.it). He also serves on the editorial boards of a number of French, English, Italian, Ukrainian, and American specialized journals. Since 1992 he has been a co-editor of the Moscowbased series Dokumenty sovetskoi istorii (Documents of Soviet History 15 volumes in print) and is a member of the editorial board of the series Istoriia stalinizma (History of Stalinism). His research interests have been largely in Soviet history, with a focus on the period leading up to the establishment of the Soviet state, its consolidation, and the triumph of Stalinism. Some of the topics he has researched in depth include the industrialization policies of the Soviet state, the Soviet state and the peasantry, the famine of 1932–33 in Ukraine and the Kuban region, other famines that took place in the Soviet Union, Stalinism, and Soviet nationality policies.<br /><br /> Dr. Graziosi has worked in the archives of the Italian Foreign Ministry, which resulted in the book Lettere da Kharkov. La carestia in Ucraina e nel Caucaso del Nord nei rapporti dei diplomatici italiani, 1932–33 (Letters from Kharkiv: Famine in Ukraine and the North Caucasus in the Dispatches of Italian Diplomats, 1932–33; Turin, 1991 and Kharkiv, 2007), and in the Russian State Archives and former Communist Party Archives in Moscow. The results of this research, combined with data from previously available sources and new archival discoveries made by colleagues in Russia and other countries formerly under Soviet rule, have found their way into many of his publications, including The Great Soviet Peasant War: Bolsheviks and Peasants, 1917–1933 (Cambridge, Mass., 1996 and Moscow, 2001); Bol'sheviki I krest'iane na Ukraine, 1918–1919 gody (Bolsheviks and Peasants in Ukraine, 1918–1919; Moscow, 1997); A New, Peculiar State: Explorations in Soviet History (Westport, Conn., 2000); Guerra e rivoluzione in Europa 1905-1956 (War and Revolution in Europe, 1905–1956; Bologna, 2002; Kyiv and Moscow, 2005); LVRSS di Lenin e Stalin, 1914–1945 (The USSR of Lenin and Stalin, 1914–1945; Bologna, 2007); LVRSS dal trionfo al degrado, 1945–1991 (The USSR from Triumph to Degeneration, 1945–1991; Bologna, 2008); and Stalinism, Collectivization and the Great Famine (Cambridge, Mass., 2009).<br /><br /> Andrea Graziosi’s lecture on the Holodomor represents a milestone in its study. He noted that over the past twenty years most of the important official documents concerning the Holodomor have been brought to light. His lecture combined an account of general scholarly accomplishments in researching the subject with his own analysis, which delineated the overall policy of the Soviet state toward the peasantry and specified the critical national factors that made the Holodomor so devastating in Ukraine and the Kuban. The lecture was recorded in both video and audio formats at the University of Alberta.</span></p>

Lecture Audio Part 1 and 2<br /><br />The thirteenth annual Shevchenko Lecture at the University of Alberta was held on March 7, 1979. Dr. Roman Szporluk, professor of history at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, spoke on "Ukraine since 1945: A Study in Modem History ."<br /><br /> The end of World War II was a watershed in Ukrainian history: after long periods of separation almost all Ukrainian lands found themselves under one regime, whose central authorities in Moscow persecuted the Ukrainian intelligentsia. Even the Communist Party of Ukraine (CPU), which was also distrusted by the population, was also repressed. Due to internal migration there began a process of national integration as some regional differences diminished.<br /><br /> The period of destalinization in the 1950s saw the rehabilitation of both the CPU and the Ukrainian intelligentsia. A very important function was served by the Writers' Union of Ukraine which was used to legitimize the Soviet regime, but which also became a kind of alternate political centre. In contrast to the distrust of the previous period a rapprochement was attempted with western Ukraine. Although no less distrustful of Ukrainians the government realized that certain concessions had to be made. These took the form of an expansion in the number of Ukrainian publications made available and a diversification of Ukrainian audiences to whom publications were addressed. Increasingly, the intelligentsia acted as a link between the Soviet regime and the masses.<br /><br /> The early 1960s were a retreat from destalinization and brought with them a return of russification. However, this was resisted by a new alliance between the pro-Soviet element on the one hand, and the new generation of the intelligentsia on the other. The latter group found a forum in the press for their campaign in defence of the Ukrainian language. The government under P. Shelest, while mildly repressing dissidents (by Soviet standards), tried to implement some of their proposals.<br /><br /> Shelest's fall from power in 1972 ushered in an era of renewed and reinforced russification. Attempts at rapprochement between the regime and the Ukrainian nation, and implementation of a new Ukrainian-Russian relationship , were abandoned Instead of dealing with very real economic and social problems, the government continues to concern itself with nationality problems. In spite of L. Brezhnev's wishes the Ukrainian problem will not go away. The government is faced with a new nation which, though possibly slightly diminished in numbers, has more energy and a greater potential. / A lively discussion period followed Dr. Szporluk' s presentation. The Shevchenko lecture is sponsored by the Ukrainian Professional and Business Club of Edmonton and organized by the Institute.<br /><br />Found in <a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">CIUS </a><span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;"><a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 2 (Spring 1979)</a> </span>

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2.<br /><br />On March 7 Dr. Roman Szporluk, professor of history at the University of Michigan, spoke on "The Ukrainian Press in the Shelest Era." The history of the Ukrainian press since 1945 can be divided into four periods: Stalinism (until 1953-54), de-Stalinization (mid-1950s-early 1960s), the Shelest era (1963-72), and the contemporary period (since 1972). Under Stalinism, the circulation of the Ukrainian press was rigidly limited and restricted to periodicals serving the state apparatus, the agricultural sector, and—to a small extent—the intelligentsia. With de-Stalinization came an extraordinary expansion of the Ukrainian press: circulations became unfrozen and sky-rocketed, and periodicals were founded for urban readers, i.e., for workers (Robitnycha hazeta) and the intelligentsia (Vsesvit, Ukvainskyi istovychnyi zhuvnal) . After some setbacks in the early 1960s (during Khrushchev's last years in power), the Ukrainian press again expanded during the Shelest era. More specialized journals and yearbooks in the humanities and social sciences appeared; there was also a corresponding expansion of periodicals in the exact sciences. Kyiv became the second largest center of press and publishing in the USSR, outpacing Leningrad. Circulations rose; Radianska zhinka and Revets achieved readerships of one million. The popular weekly Ukvaina actively fostered a Ukrainian historical, linguistic consciousness. The press in the Shelest era became the material link in a new partnership between the state apparatus and the Ukrainian intelligentsia; it functioned as a vehicle of vappvochement , at once "sovietizing" the Ukrainians and Ukrainianizing the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. After 1972 the regime abandoned this experiment and returned to a "neo-Stalinist" assimilationist policy, which manifests itself by stifling the Ukrainian press.<br /><br />Found in <a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">CIUS </a><span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;"><a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 2 (Spring 1979)</a> </span>

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2.<br /><br />Dr. B. Medwidsky, assistant professor in the Department of Slavic Languages, delivered the eighth Institute seminar at the University of Alberta. On February 6, 1979 he spoke on "Fables about Animals." <br /><br /> Dr. Medwidsky discussed some texts of Kazky pro tvaryn , a recently published volume of Ukrainian animal tales. After a brief description of the genre and of the function of oral tradition in general, the speaker compared the total number of texts contained in this recent publication with that of a volume published sixty years earlier by V.

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2.<br /><br />Ivan Jaworsky, who is currently completing his M.A. in political science at Carleton University, spoke on "Ukrainians in Eastern Europe after World War II'' on February 26. His talk surveyed the situation of Ukrainian minorities in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Yugoslavia.<br /><br /> Although the number of Ukrainians in Eastern Europe has decreased greatly since the war as a result of boundary changes, by which Galicia, Bukovyna and Carpatho-Ukraine were transferred to Soviet Ukraine, small Ukrainian minorities remain in the countries reviewed.<br /><br /> In his presentation the speaker gave an overview of the situation of each Ukrainian minority, commenting on their demographic, social, economic, cultural, organizational, and religious life. An emphasis was put on the factors influencing the development and survival of these minorities, such as: increasing assimilation due to out-migration from depressed rural areas where most Ukrainians live; the effect of Soviet foreign policy; attitudes of dominant nationalities toward Ukrainian minorities; state influence in official Ukrainian organizations (i.e., USKT in Poland, KSUT in Czechoslavakia) ; and the poorly developed sense of national identity in some areas where people still identify themselves as "Rusyn" or "Hutsul”<br /><br />Found in <a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">CIUS </a><span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;"><a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1572">Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 2 (Spring 1979)</a> </span>

At the Institute's first seminar of the 1977-78 academic year on October 5, 1977, Dr. J Borys, professor in the Department of Political Science, University of Calgary, spoke about "The Russian Communist Party and the Sovietization of Ukraine." / In his presentation. Dr. Borys dealt with the manner in which the Soviet Russian sphere of influence had expanded into Ukraine, as a case study of the application of the Marxian-Leninist theory of the self-determination of nations in one of the most important regions of eastern Europe. After seizing power in Russia proper in 1917, the Russian Bolsheviks, contrary to their own theoretical premises and claims, began to reincorporate non-Russian territories into the new Soviet Russian empire. The introduction of control by Moscow in Ukraine, which by that time had established its own government, was the result of military conquest. Dr. Borys argued, and not, as Soviet historiography claims, of support from the Ukrainian proletariat. If it had not been for military assistance from outside, the local Bolsheviks would not have succeeded in establishing their control in Ukraine. / Dr. Borys has received a grant from the Institute to revise his book on the above topic, which was originally published in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1960.<br /><br /><a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1566">From CIUS Newsletter Vol 2 Issue 1 (Fall 1977)</a>

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. <br /><br /><span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;">On September 2, 1977, Mr. Leonid Plyushch, a well-known Soviet Ukrainian dissident and former political prisoner presented an Institute seminar entitled "Detente, the Helsinki Accords and the Soviet Opposition: A Discussion with Dissident Leonid Plyushch." Before his dismissal and imprisonment in 1968 Mr. Plyushch worked in the Institute of Cybernetics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR in Kiev. He was allowed to leave the Soviet Union on January 8, 1976 following an international campaign on his behalf. The chairmen of a number of University departments, as well as several invited guests, attended the seminar. / Mr. Plyushch began by discussing the economic and moral crises facing Soviet society. The present leadership does not allow for an open discussion of the poor state of the Soviet economy and the rising crime rate, and relies on an elaborate system of "disinformation" to conceal these problems. There is a serious lack of information about crime and various forms of deviance in the Soviet Union, and even scientific-technological research is hampered by the prevailing secrecy and by strange (even irrational) demands from above. To continue stifling discussion of the problems, however, will prove fruitless. The contradictions in Soviet society, Plyushch declared, will lead to a political crisis, unless there is greater democratization in all sectors of public life. / The dissidents, those who refuse to go along with the system of the "big lie," demand that the Soviet Union respect its own constitution and the international human rights agreements which it has signed. All sectors of public opinion in the West must ensure that Soviet and western governments do not find some accommodation which would allow for the continuing repression of free thought in the Soviet Union. / The most valuable aspect of the seminar was its interdisciplinary character. During the stimulating question period, Mr. Plyushch, dealt with a wide range of questions on topics such as Soviet scientific policy, child psychology, the theory of games, and structuralism.<br /><br />Found in <a href="http://cius-archives.ca/items/show/1566">CIUS <span style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial;font-style:normal;">Newsletter Vol 2 Issue 1 (Fall 1977) </span></a><br /></span>
