Title A name given to the resource 1979: Ukraine since 1945: A Study in Modern History Description An account of the resource Lecture Audio Part 1 and 2 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 ." 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. 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. 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. 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.

Subject The topic of the resource Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists World War II Nationalism Description An account of the resource The 41st annual Shevchenko Lecture, co-sponsored by CIUS and the Ukrainian Professional and Business Club of Edmonton, was delivered on 30 March 2007 by Dr. Peter J. Potichnyj, a leading authority on Ukrainian wartime insurgency, who spoke on “The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA): What Have We Learned 65 Years after Its Founding?” In his lecture Dr. Potichnyj addressed some of the key controversies surrounding the UPA. The first concerns the common practice of conflating the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), especially the faction led by Stepan Bandera (OUN-B), with the UPA, giving rise to the joint acronym OUN-UPA. Professor Potichnyj pointed out that this hyphenated designation was first used by Soviet security organs to discredit the UPA by linking it with the OUNs integral-nationalist ideology of the 1930s. While acknowledging the important role played by OUN members in the UPA, Dr. Potichnyj stressed that the latter was subordinate to the Supreme Ukrainian Liberation Council (Ukrains'ka Holovna Vyzvol'na Rada), an underground governing body more broadly based than the OUN-B. The second controversy concerns estimates of the number of people involved in the UPA and underground activities generally. The Soviet-sponsored image of the UPA as a collection of undisciplined bands of gangsters has fuelled the third controversy. Here, Professor Potichnyj stressed the UPAs resemblance to a regular army, noting Soviet efforts to create armed groups that looked like UPA units and imitated them. Professor Potichnyj also discussed controversies related to ideology, concluding that the ideology of the UPA was based largely on the democratic wartime writings of Osyp Diakiv (Hornovy), P. Poltava (Fedun), and others, not on the integral nationalist ideas of Dmytro Dontsov, who came to prominence between the wars. Professor Potichnyj also discussed the Polish-Ukrainian conflict, stressing its long history and suggesting that land hunger was partly to blame for the ferocity of the struggle and the involvement of peasants in the Volhynian tragedy of 1943, when many Polish civilians were slaughtered. Other factors included plans to incorporate Volhynia into Poland, German and Soviet meddling, and the inability of Polish and Ukrainian underground leaders to reach an understanding. With regard to the Holocaust, Dr. Potichnyj noted that although the Ukrainian populace was aware of the mass murder of Jews in Ukraine, there is no documentary evidence to support the assumption that the UPA welcomed or supported it. The greatest failure of the Ukrainian underground leadership, however, was that it did not issue condemnations or proclamations of concern. Dr. Potichnyj also pointed out that he knew of no instance of Jewish leaders attempting to contact the Ukrainian underground leadership. During the lecture and in the question period, the guest speaker drew on his own wartime experiences. Dr. Potichnyj, who comes from the village of Pawlokoma (Pavlokoma) near Przemysl (Peremyshl), now in Poland, became a guerrilla soldier at the age of fourteen after the mass killing of his fellow villagers by Polish Home Army (Armia Krajowa) soldiers in March 1945. Dr. Potichnyj served in the UPA until 10 September 1947, when the remnant of his company (36 soldiers), led by Mykhailo Duda (Hromenko), crossed from Soviet-occupied Austria to the US-controlled zone of Germany. He earned his Ph.D. in political science from Columbia University in 1966 and began his academic career that year as professor of political science at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. He retired in 1995. Throughout his career, Dr. Potichnyj has had a particular interest in relations between Ukrainians and their neighbours. He organized scholarly conferences on this subject that resulted in the publication of the following books by CIUS Press, which he edited or co-edited: Poland and Ukraine: Past and Present (1980); Ukrainian-Jewish Relations in Historical Perspective (1988); and Ukraine and Russia in Their Historical Encounter (1992). Since 1975 Dr. Potichnyj has served as editor-in-chief of the documentary series Litopys UPA, of which 61 volumes have been published to date. He is co-editor of Political Thought of the Ukrainian Underground: 1943-1951 (Edmonton, 1986), published by CIUS Press. He is also the author of a documentary history of his native village, Pavlokoma, 1441-1945: istoriiasela (Lviv and Toronto, 2001.

Title A name given to the resource 2012: Ukraine and the Russian Question Description An account of the resource CIUS Shevchenko Annual Lecture audio. Co-organized by CIUS and the Ukrainian Professional and Business Club of Edmonton, the forty- sixth Shevchenko lecture at the University of Alberta was given by James Sherr, a senior fellow of the Russia and Eurasia Programme at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (London), who spoke on “Ukraine and the Russian Question” (9 March 2012). Mr. Sherr analyzed the Russian factor in the current Ukrainian historical and political situation. Speaking about the legacy of Kyivan Rus' which Russians claim as the wellspring of the imperial tradition constructed by their eighteenth-century tsars, he noted that while some specifics of the Russo- Ukrainian relationship may have changed with Ukraine’s declaration of independence in 1991, its fundamental nature has not. He referred in particular to the complex issue of identity, which has been at the core of recurring tensions between the two nations. Citing Vladimir Putins recent article on the national question in Russia, Sherr noted its concept of a common Russian civilization with the Russian nation as its constituent core. This notion has invariably served to justify imperial expansion into neighbouring regions. Mr. Sherr argued that there have been no significant changes in Russia’s attitude toward Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Recovering from what Putin called the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the twentieth century,” today’s Russian leadership seeks to restore Moscow’s former “sphere of influence” and recapture the proud past of the Russian imperial state. The recent war with Georgia, the territorial provocations at Tuzla, the use of energy as a political tool, and attempts to thwart Ukraine’s European aspirations are all indications of Russia’s real intentions with regard to Ukraine. Russia certainly feels threatened because of its loss of superpower status, said Mr. Sherr, but it is concerned above all to maintain its imperial legacy and identity, not least by developing an increasingly authoritarian political culture. Putin’s anti-Western attitude and traditional Soviet-era beliefs strike a responsive chord with many Russians, which allows him to advance his current political agenda while Europe and other Western countries are preoccupied with their own economic and political problems. Mr. Sherr argued that it is in the best interest of the Euro-Atlantic democracies to preserve an independent Ukraine and promote the development of its civil society and cultural institutions. He emphasized that Ukraine’s sovereignty must be respected in accordance with international law. A democratic and European Ukraine would thus serve as a model to democratize Russia, which will otherwise remain a source of authoritarianism in the region. Mr. Sherr concluded that the greatest threat to Ukraine is Ukraine itself. Despite ongoing attempts by the West to encourage political and economic reforms, Ukraine has largely squandered these opportunities. It failed to act on its proclaimed European aspirations, entailing a market economy and political democracy, and remained mired in post-Soviet inertia, a non-transparent business culture, and a drift toward authoritarianism. Between 1995 and May 2008, James Sherr was a fellow of the former Conflict Studies Research Centre of the Defence Academy of the UK and is a member of the Social Studies Faculty of Oxford University. He has been a long-standing adviser to governments in the UK and the EU and to NATO, and advised Ukraine for many years on defence/security sector reform and related issues. His publications include Russia and the West A Reassessment (2008) and The Mortgaging of Ukraine’s Independence (2010).

Title A name given to the resource 2013: Indifference to the Violation of Women’s Rights in Ukraine as a Social Problem Subject The topic of the resource Women Feminism Description An account of the resource CIUS lecture audio. Co-organized by CIUS and the Ukrainian Professional and Business Club of Edmonton, the forty-seventh Shevchenko lecture at the University of Alberta was given by Kateryna Levchenko, who spoke on “Indifference to the Violation of Women’s Rights in Ukraine as a Social Problem” (21 March 2013). Dr. Levchenko is widely recognized as a strong advocate of women’s rights in Ukraine and is also known internationally for her work on the crime of trafficking in human beings, especially women and children. Dr. Levchenko emphasized that an important aspect of modernization is the guarantee of effective civil, political, and economic rights for women. According to analysts at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ukraine currently ranks sixty-third among seventy-five countries in the so-called global gender gap. Women’s rights in Ukraine are violated in a variety of ways. Salaries for men doing work of the same value as women remain 25 per cent higher. In the political sphere, women’s representation in the higher tiers of power remains low. Domestic violence in Ukraine continues to grow at an alarming rate. Dr. Levchenko concluded with the substantial gains that have been made in Ukraine over the last few years with regard to women’s rights. These include the formation of an Expert Council, of which Dr. Levchenko is a member. Established in 2009, it considers appeals regarding discrimination and prepares recommendations for the Ministry of Social Policy to counteract detected violations. La Strada-Ukraine has initiated the documentation of gender discrimination in educational, cultural, and media spheres and partnered with NGOs and specialists in the Ministry of Social Policy to monitor special agencies and institutions that assist victims of family violence. The process of women’s emancipation has also inspired well-known Ukrainian celebrities, from sports figures to movie stars, Kateryna Levchenko to participate in campaigns against domestic violence and sexual exploitation.
