CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. On January 29, a seminar was presented by Anna Balan of Toronto entitled, "The Portrayal of Ukrainians in the Works of Morley Callaghan, W.O. Mitchell, Margaret Laurence, and Sinclair Ross." The speaker focussed on four Ukrainian characters in four novels by prominent Anglo- Canadian writers. All of these characters are Canadian-born, well educated professionals, and not pioneers. They are: Ann Prychodko in Morley Callaghan's They Shalt Inherit the Earth Peter Svarich in W.O. Mitchell's Who has Seen the Wind, Nick Kazlik in Margaret Laurence's A Jest of God and Nick Miller in Sinclair Ross' Sawbones Memorial. The speaker summarized the plots of the four novels, showed the role each of these characters played in the novel, and discussed how their ethnicity was depicted. She concluded that the Ukrainians were credibly. and effectively portrayed in all four novels. The more recently a novel had been written, the more central was the role played by the Ukrainian character, and the more the writer reflected changing attitudes of the Anglo-Canadian majority towards Ukrainians —from acceptance, through envy, to identification. Unfortunately, all of the Ukrainian characters are portrayed only as individuals within an Anglo-Canadian community. Although all four authors should be commended for introducing representatives of the ethnic component in Canadian society into their writing, the ethnic diversity of the Canadian reality has not yet truly been explored or developed by Anglo- Canadian writers. This must be done if Canadian literature is to be both relevant to all Canadians and present a truer picture of Canadian society. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 2 (Spring 1979)

The Historical and Literary Background to Ukrainian-Spanish Relations
History
Ukrainian Literature
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. On February 12, Oleh Romanyshyn, who is currently completing his Ph.D. in the field of Spanish-Ukrainian literary relations, gave a seminar entitled, "The Historical and Literary Background to Ukrainian- Spanish Relations." Although Spain and Ukraine have never enjoyed formal relations, mutual awareness and contacts between the inhabitants of both countries (which probably began in the fifth century) were important in particular periods in history. There were many lines of communication: military, political, religious, educational, cultural, and personal. There is good evidence that during the Rus’ period of Ukraine’s history (particularly in the ninth and tenth centuries) a Slavic element played a significant military, political, and cultural role in Arabic Spain, and that Rus’ repeatedly came into military and commercial contact with Spanish Arabs. With the rise of the Cossack State, Ukraine became an important factor in European affairs, particularly in the seventeenth century: 1) as a tacit ally of Spain against the Ottoman Empire, and 2) as a bulwark against militant European Catholicism championed in the East by Poland, whose policies also drew strong support from Spain. Last but not least, trade in Christian slaves was always an important medium of continuous contact between Spaniards and Ukrainians until the eighteenth century. With the disappearance in 1775 of the last vestiges of Ukraine's independence, contacts with Spain became sporadic at best, and occurred on a personal and cultural level. After World War II a small Ukrainian community settled in Madrid. These historical and cultural relations between both countries can be looked upon as a background to what we may now call a "Spanish School" in Ukrainian literature.

The Response of the Ukrainian Canadians to the Displaced Persons Situation in Europe
Displaced Persons
Resettlement of Ukrainians
World War II
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. Michael Savaryn, a law student at the University of Alberta, delivered the sixth Institute seminar in Edmonton on January 16 with the presentation, "The Response of the Ukrainian Canadians to the Displaced Persons Situation in Europe". He examined the responses in Edmonton's Ukrainski Visti , edited by the late John Esaiw. The speaker quoted from a number of editorials which both appealed to Ukrainian Canadians for funds, clothing and other supplies, and pleaded with the Canadian Government to allow largescale immigration of Ukrainian refugees to Canada. Research on the life of the Ukrainians, who scattered throughout Western Europe after World War II in terrible fear of forced deportation to the Soviet Union, is scarce. Little is known about the number, qualifications, and plans of the refugees, and there is little evidence about how many were in fact deported, and how many managed to find their relatives or refuge in different countries. However, one fact is clear: their fate evoked a great deal of sympathy from Ukrainian Canadians, who even visited them in the Displaced Persons camps. The late Anthony Hlynka, a Ukrainian M.P. from Vegreville, Alberta, spoke on their behalf in the House of Commons. The actual amounts of money, clothing, food, affidavits, etc., raised by Ukrainian Canadians for their countrymen is not known, and it is time to research this subject. Indeed, it is time to record the experience of the post- World War II Ukrainian immigration generally, for the history of the Ukrainian Canadians without this chapter would be incomplete.

Ukrainian Language Instruction in Great Britain and Alberta: Similarities and Contrasts
Education
Bilingualism
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The seminar, "Ukrainian Language Instruction in Great Britain and Alberta: Similarities and Contrasts," was presented on November 28 by Ihor Kruk, M.A. candidate in Slavic literature at the University of Alberta. The speaker drew a parallel between the Ukrainian educational systems developed by the Ukrainian-speaking communities of Edmonton and Britain, 60,000 and 20,000 respectively. Whereas the British Ukrainian community has a "ridna shkola" system of 810 pupils in 30 schools with 116 teachers (1977-78), there were 528 pupils in 11 schools with 43 teachers in Edmonton (1978-79). A comparison of the two systems indicates that the British Ukrainians have a more coordinated system of "ridni shkoly" which includes a centralized educational program, visits by inspectors and standardized final examinations. Britain has only one professor at a public university who can teach Ukrainian; Edmonton has five professors of Ukrainian at the University of Alberta. Edmonton also has a bilingual programme in eight schools, with over 700 students in public and separate schools combined, a programme which does not exist in Britain. Alberta also has 34 junior high schools and 18 senior high schools which offer public instruction in Ukrainian. Nothing comparable exists in Britain's state educational systems, though "0" level examinations are available to those who study Ukrainian privately. The speaker also discussed the historical development of Ukrainian language instruction both in state and private "Saturday" schools, programs of teaching and teaching methods, the falling language fluency of younger generations, and teaching requirements for the future.

The Present State of Ukrainian Bibliography and Its Critical Tasks
Bibliography
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. On December 6, Edward Kasinec, librarian at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute , gave a seminar entitled, "The Present State of Ukrainian Bibliography and Its Critical Tasks." Mr. Kasinec began his seminar with a frank evaluation of the failure of Ukrainians in North America to develop Ukrainian bibliography as a form of professional scholarship. Despite the physical destruction of Ukrainian librarians and libraries in the 1930s, during the war, and even recently with the burning of the library of the Academy of Science of the Ukrainian S.S.R., Ukrainian librarians in North America have failed to systematically structure and make easily available Ukrainian collections and bibliographies, leaving scholars with major gaps in their research. In recent years the climate for Ukrainian bibliographic work has changed: the National Archives in Ottawa, the Kennan Institute of the Smithsonian complex, and the Library of Congress in Washington are all now involved in surveying and preserving Ukrainian materials. Consequently a series of important projects now need to be undertaken. There is a need to begin to teach courses on the history of Ukrainian bibliography, and on works by regional, pre-revolutionary and post-revolutionary bibliographers. There is a need to develop research guides and indices for material from Ukraine and for materials that were produced by the Ukrainians in immigration. Indices for newspapers are particularly important. There is a need to establish who the best dealers are in Ukrainian materials, to develop better systems of classification and to upgrade the size of Ukrainian collections (relative to Russian collections) held at North American libraries. Mr. Kasinec suggested six priorities: a comprehensive bibliographical research guide to serve as an introduction to specific disciplines, a survey of the elements of the total book production on Ukrainian territory, reprinting classics in hard copies, developing a multiple genre approach to historical research, circulating information on low run Soviet publications available in the West (i.e., indices to serial publications), and locating and collecting unique materials held in private collections.

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The final Institute seminar of the first term was held on December 5 when Dr. Yar Slavutych of the Department of Slavic Languages, University of Alberta, spoke on "P. Crath and T. Pavlychenko: Nationalism vs. Socialism in Ukrainian-Canadian Literature." The speaker examined the numerous poetic (seven collections) and two scholarly works of the active socialist Paul Crath [Pavlo Krat], who came to Canada in 1907 and proceeded to spread revolutionary ideas, departing from socialism to become a Protestant minister. As an ardent Ukrainian patriot, P. Crath attacked the Russian tsarist regime and yearned for an independent Ukraine during World War I. The speaker then discussed the only book of T. Pavlychenko ' s poetry Dukh natsii (Spirit of Nation). This author was a professor of the University of Saskatchewan and a known nationalist leader in Canada. In his poetry the author maintained that the strong are victorious and reject laws of higher justice. Only the cultivation of a mighty will and biological force can assure liberation from captivity. This applied both to the biological world and to nations in their historical development. The speaker presented Crath and Pavlychenko as talented poets who brought new and interesting ideas to Ukrainian-Canadian literature, and who deserve deeper and more comprehensive study.

Housing Segregation and Mobility of Ukrainians in Manchester
Immigration and Settlement
Class
Culture
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. On November 14, Roman Petryshyn, research associate at the Institute, spoke on "Housing Segregation and Mobility of Ukrainians in Manchester." The study reported on survey research, consisting of a mail questionnaire and interview schedule, completed in 1975 with a selection of Ukrainian community members in Manchester, England. Results revealed a general housing pattern which was classified as follows: 1947-49, European voluntary workers' hostels; 1948-52, residency with Ukrainian landlords and friends; 1950, first home ownership in row housing; 1962, second home ownership in semi-detached housing; 1970, third home ownership. The improved economic position of respondents was suggested as an explanation for the mobility of most Ukrainians out of the urban immigrant centre and into better quality housing located away from the inner-city. The housing experience of Ukrainians in Manchester was tested against a model of immigrant housing proposed by D. JV Smith (1978). It was found that the Ukrainian experience was adequately explained by Smith's model, which indicated why Ukrainians settled in decaying metropolitan centres, how a pattern of rental to fellow Ukrainians emerged and developed, and why initial settlement took place in a limited area and then dispersed. The discussion which followed the presentation explored the question of whether class or cultural factors provided better explanations for housing behaviour among Ukrainians. The speaker, arguing the former, suggested that for second and subsequent generations of Ukrainians in Canada, the development of cooperative housing projects—Ukrainian-speaking urban villages—could be a useful method to enable small populations to pursue alternative cultural lifestyles. This would apply to groups who wished to practice bilingual living and the development of ethnic minority culture. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 1 (Winter 1978)

Saving the Displaced Persons: The Central Ukrainian Relief Bureau
Primary Sources
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. Stanley Frolick presented a second seminar on November 13 entitled, "Saving the Displaced Persons: The Central Ukrainian Relief Bureau," in which he described the activities of the Central Ukrainian Relief Bureau (CURB) from its inception after the end of World War II to 1946 — the period of his personal involvement. He stressed that this was a little-known, yet most fascinating chapter of Ukrainian-Canadian history, which reflects the role Ukrainian emigrations ought to play. A full, objective and scholarly account of this history has still to be written. CURB was formed through the voluntary initiative of the Ukrainian Canadian Servicemen's Association (UCSA) in London as a result of Allied soldiers' encounters with Ukrainian POWs, displaced persons, Ostarbeitev3 Soviet deserters, and concentration camp inmates. UCSA began to provide material support with help from Ukrainian women's organizations in Canada and the United States. CURB'S role changed when the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and the Red Cross took over material support of the displaced persons. Its main role became the defense of Ukrainians against forcible repatriation, Ukrainian resettlement to Western countries, and combating Soviet propaganda through the Ukrainian Information Service. Although CURB was sponsored by the Ukrainian Canadian Relief Fund and the United Ukrainian American Relief Fund (member organizations of the Ukrainian Canadian Committee and the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America respectively) problems arose because it did not represent these organizations. Thus there was a constant tug of war between CURB and UCC/UCCA. The speaker described in detail the structure and inner workings of CURB, the manner in which military zones functioned, and visits by CURB representatives to POW and DP camps. The presentation was concluded by Dr. Bolubash's short account of the experiences of the Ukrainian DPs at Heidenau with the Soviet repatriation commission. He contrasted this experience with the arrival of CURB representatives at that camp. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 1 (Winter 1978)

Growing Up in Halychyna in the 1930's: A Ukrainian Canadian Perspective
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. On November 6, 1978, the CIUS seminar heard the unique reminiscences of Stanley Frolick, a well-known leader in Toronto's Ukrainian community. As a young Ukrainian Canadian, Frolick spent nine years, from 11 to 20 (1932-41), living and studying in Halychyna. In sharp contrast to the Alberta mining town where he had been born, Frolick found the Ukrainians of the Carpathians rich in folk culture; this had a profound effect on the young student giving him a sense of belonging and security. Once a decision had been made to stay in Halychyna, Frolick' s uncle, a local priest, ensured that he had private tutoring from one of the many unemployed Ukrainians who were prevented from getting government teaching positions, and from whom Frolick first experienced the intense nationalism of inter-war Halychyna. The nationalism was rooted in three factors: the recent loss of an independent state in the revolutionary period; Polish repression of the population; and the uncompromising struggle of the youthful OUN. As a resident student in a "bursa" of the "gymnasium" in Stanyslaviv, Frolick experienced the rather spartan educational facilities and primitive teaching methods of inter-war Halychyna. The seminar was told of the class distinctions in society, which were expressed socially at the bursa through a formal system of salutation and deference. Classmates could address themselves as "ty"; students two grades above were addressed as "vy" or "vy tovaryshu"; and students of the highest grades were addressed as "vy pane tovaryshu." The seminar concluded with an evaluation of Ukrainian and Canadian educational systems. Education was the privilege of a small Ukrainian elite in inter-war Poland. In comparison to the unpoliticized individualism and egotism of Canadian students, Ukrainian students of the time were imbued with a sense of collectivism and responsibility to serve their people. A copy of the seminar paper is available in the fugitive file of unpublished papers in the Institute's library, at the University of Alberta. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 1 (Winter 1978)
Russia and Ukraine: The Difference that Peter I Made

Politics
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. Part 1 Audio begins at 3:35. In his presentation, "Russia and Ukraine: The Difference that Peter I Made," Dr. O. Subtelny, Associate Professor, Department of History, Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, argued that the state, as an institution, does not provide a useful framework for analyzing Ukrainian-Russian relations (or relations between Cossack Ukraine and Moscovite tsardom) prior to the period of Peter I for two reasons: (1) the two basic pillars of the early modern state - a standing army and a full-fledged bureaucracy - were non-existent in the Hetmanate, and only began to evolve in seventeenth century Muscovy; and (2) the basic functions of the absolutist state - coordination, coercion, and extraction of wealth - were inoperative in the tsars' relations with the Hetmanate. If the institutions of the state did not bind the two lands together, what did? The only other means by which two very different lands could be linked in early modern Europe was some form of vassalage. The Treaty of Pereiaslav established a modified form of vassal relationship between the Zaporozhian Host and the Muscovite tsar. The point of these modifications was that they allowed the tsar to preserve the forms of Muscovite autocracy (his refusal to swear an oath to his new subjects), while it gave the Ukrainians the terms which all vassals could expect of their new sovereign (non-interference in internal affairs, etc.). The significance of Peter I's innovations was that they abolished an essentially personal relationship between the Ukrainians and the tsar and created the institutions which could encompass both Ukrainians and Russians in one common state. It was no longer a common monarchy but a common state which linked Ukrainians and Russians: all the innovations which Peter I introduced in Ukraine fit neatly into the basic functions of statehood. Only after Peter I's changes were implemented did the tsar have the capacity to pursue coordinative, coercive, and extractive policies in Ukraine. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 1 (Winter 1978)

Ukrainian Canadian Newspaper Holdings in Canada
Press
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The second Institute seminar took place on October 31 when Frances Swyripa, research associate in the Institute, spoke on "Ukrainian- Canadian Newspaper Holdings in Canada." The speaker indicated where Ukrainian-Canadian newspapers can be found in Canada, i.e., provincial archives and libraries, the Public Archives of Canada and National Library, university libraries, public libraries, and, most importantly, private institutions, and private collections in the Ukrainian community. The extent, condition, and organization of individual holdings is important, especially for the preservation of a record of the Ukrainian press in Canada and easy access for researchers to defunct publications or early issues of today's press. F. Swyripa outlined the microfilming process, including provincial and national microfilming programs, and policies regarding the permanent preservation of the ethnic press.

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. As a participant in the conference on the status of women in eastern Europe, Dr. Martha Bohachevsky-Chomiak gave an unscheduled Institute seminar on "Natalia Kobrynska: A Formulator of Feminism." The seminar took place on October 26, 1978. Although Natalia Kobrynska is well known as a turn-of-the-centttry author of short stories, her role in the women’s emancipation movement is also significant. The speaker first briefly outlined Kobrynska’ s biography and discussed her evolution as a writer. Her leading role in the Ukrainian women’s movement was then examined. She was in the forefront of the movement for rural day care centers and communal kitchens; she also edited women's almanacs and organized women’s societies. In many respects, Kobrynska was far ahead of her time and consequently encountered much opposition from her conservative contemporaries. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 1 (Winter 1978)

The Methodist Church and Ukrainians in Canada, 1901–1925: A Study in Assimilation Policy
Church
Methodist Rural Home Missions
Christianity
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. Part 2 audio begins at 4:45. The seminar, "The Methodist Church and Ukrainians in Canada, 1901-1925: A Study in Assimilation Policy," was given by Vivian Olender on October 23. Anglo-Celtic Canadians at the turn of the twentieth century believed Canada should develop as a homogeneous, white Anglo-Saxon and Protestant (WASP) nation; the concept of a pluralistic and multicultural society was incomprehensible. Ukrainian immigrants, in particular, were treated as members of an inferior race and culture. During this period Canadian Methodists believed WASP culture to be the Christian culture, and their church to be Church of Christ . Thus religious sanction was given to both the superiority of WASP culture and the prevailing prejudice against Ukrainians. In Methodist literature of the period, Ukrainians are described as "dirty, unkempt, and unlettered children." Ukrainians are similar in appearance to Anglo-Celts but "most of them are shorter and stouter and maybe more dark faces." They also wear a "strange attire of innumerable layers" so that it is difficult to distinguish the men from the women. An extensive programme of home missions was established in Ukrainian bloc settlements on the prairies to preach the gospel of salvation by assimilation and adoption of WASP, middle-class values. Methodists concentrated on the Ukrainians because they belonged to the inferior Slavic race and were members of a decadent church. Second, Ukrainians immigrated in large numbers and were highly visible in their traditional peasant clothes. Third and most important, Ukrainians settled in large bloc colonies which hindered assimilation. Methodists were concerned that the unassimilated Ukrainians would use the power of their vote to bring Canada down to the Ukrainian level. Converts who joined the Methodist church were alienated from their fellow Ukrainians because they were compelled to accept the WASP lifestyle and with it, a condemnation of Ukrainian culture. Ukrainians considered these individuals to be traitors. Ironically, the main result of the Methodist home mission programme was to reinforce the identification of Ukrainian ethnicity with the Ukrainian Catholic or Orthodox churches.

Russo-Ukrainian Relations: March 1917–January 1918
Russia–Ukraine
Ukrainian–Russian Relations
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The eighth Institute seminar at the University of Alberta was held on February 23, 1978. Mr. Nestor Makuch, a third year honors history student, spoke on "Russo-Ukrainian Relations: March 1917–January 1918." Ukrainian political currents in Russian controlled Ukraine from the mid-nineteenth' century to 1917 had been predominantly federalist in character. Their major concern was the creation of an autonomous Ukraine within a democratic federated Russia built upon the national principle. This national concern was closely linked to social issues in Ukraine. The predominantly rural and uneducated Ukrainians, occupying economically inferior positions were dominated by powerful urban non-Ukrainian elements (mostly Russian and Jewish). When the Ukrainian Central Rada was formed in March 1917, it attempted to apply its principle of federalism to the contemporary situation in Ukraine. It encountered strong resistance from the Provisional Government, however, and became engaged in prolonged, fruitless arguments over power. This diversion of the Rada's attention from pressing social issues prevented it from retaining mass support. The speaker examined the situation and events in Russian-controlled Ukraine from the March revolution (1917) to the proclamation of the Fourth Universal (22 January 1918), which forced the Rada to break with its inherited vision of a Ukraine within a Russian federation and to proclaim a sovereign independent Ukraine.

Ukrainian-Canadian Art: Problems of Definition and Prospects for the Future
Art
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. On February 2, Mr. Jaroslaw Balan, a Masters' student in English at the University of Alberta, presented the seventh Institute seminar of the 1977-78 academic year at the University of Alberta entitled "Ukrainian-Canadian Art: Problems of Definition and Prospects for the Future." The speaker addressed himself to the following questions: Is there such a thing as Ukrainian- Canadian art? If so, how does one identify it? Is it useful to classify art in terms of ethnicity in form or content? How does one make distinctions between the definitions: Ukrainian art, Canadian art, Ukrainian-Canadian and Canadian-Ukrainian art? Some observations were made about the emergence of Ukrainian-Canadian art and the possible future of such art. Mr. Balan attempted to develop a set of guidelines— a framework—within which Ukrainian- Canadian art could be discussed coherently and consistently. Most practical examples were drawn from literature and painting. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 2 Issue 3 (Winter 1978)

Ukrainian Canadians and Regional Federalism
Quebec
Ukrainian Language
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The fifth Institute seminar of the 1977-78 academic year was held on December 1. Dr. Manoly Lupul spoke on " Ukrainian Canadians and Regional Federalism." In his presentation the speaker analyzed the linguistic-cultural situation in Canada, with emphasis on Quebec, and rejected both separation and the present federal arrangement as viable options for that province. Dr. Lupul put forward a new concept, regional federalism, whereby the regions of Canada would institute language policies in accordance with the ethnocultural character of their population. In Quebec French must become the sole language of communication and Dr. Lupul criticized the powerful Anglophone minority in Quebec for its reluctance to learn French. The resulting "one-way' bilingualism, forced the Francophone majority to learn the language of the minority —English— in order to survive in a predominantly Anglophone economic community. Tensions would ease considerably if Anglophones were to use the language of the Francophone majority. Most Quebecers would still require a knowledge of English to survive on the North American continent, while the non-Anglo-Celtic and non-French ethnic groups would have to become trilingual in order to preserve their identity. Ethnic groups in other provinces, however, should be better accommodated within the policy of official bilingualism, and should be allowed to further their cultural and linguistic aspirations. In the Prairie provinces, for example, the larger groups, such as the Ukrainians or Germans, should have access to their native language in education as exemplified by the Ukrainian-English bilingual program in Edmonton, a permanent feature of Alberta's school system.

Uсrainica mediaevalis in the University of Alberta Library, or 'You Mean We Have That in Our Collection?'
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. Part 2 audio begins at 03:23. The sixth Institute seminar at the University of Alberta was held on January 19. Dr. Peter A. Rolland, assistant professor in the Department of Slavic Languages spoke on "Uorainica mediaevalis in the University of Alberta Library, or 'You Mean We Have That in Our Collection?"' Dr. Rolland surveyed the microfilm copies of significant Middle Ukrainian and Middle Belorussian printed books (15 - I8cc.) which the University of Alberta has obtained from the Rare Book Collection of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (AN URSR) . They are presently housed in the Micromaterials Collection of the university library together with commentaries on the most important of these imprints. The speaker noted that of the 325 titles obtained from Kyiv, the 112 from Western Rus' (Ukraine and Belorussia) represent some of the oldest centres of early East Slavic printing—Vilnius, Ostroh, Kyiv, and Lviv. Among other imprints the speaker noted those of Krakow (Casoslov, 1482), Venice (5 Service books, 1519-1546) and Moscow (2 Gospel books and 1 Apostol printed before 1564). Prominent among imprints from Western Rus' are the Lviv Apostol (1574), the Ostroh Bible (1581), the Great Lithuanian Statute (1583) , the 1619 edition of Smotryt sky's Church Slavonic grammar, and the Slu&ebnik (1629) and Euohologion of Petro Mohyla. Works by individual preachers and poets include Baranovych' s Mea duxovnyj (1666) and Truby stoves (1674), Galiatovsky' s Kazanja (1660), Kljuc razumenija (1663, 1665) Nebo novoje (1665), Radyvylovsky ' s Ohorodok Marii (1676), Tuptalo's Runo orosennoje (1702). Dr. Rolland concluded that the collection represents an invaluable source of material for all students of Middle Ukrainian and Middle Belorussian literature, history, and culture.

Class and Ethnicity in the Ukrainian Group in Canada
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. Professor Isajiw, of the Department of Sociology, University of Toronto, presented a seminar on February 9 entitled "Class and Ethnicity in the Ukrainian Group in Canada." It elaborated on a theme discussed earlier at a seminar in Edmonton. Professor Isajiw' s presentation centered on the question of whether class or ethnicity is more important in explaining the behaviour of an ethnic group. Professor Isajiw outlined the economic-occupational history of Ukrainians in Canada, based on official censuses. Although there has been a large and rapid decrease in the number of Ukrainians occupied in farming, Ukrainians still remain comparatively underrepresented in white collar occupations and trail behind the general labor force and most other ethnic groups, including other Slavs, in level of education and average income. The social standing of Ukrainians, as viewed subjectively by others, is quite low—in the same category as Mediterranean, Central European, and other East European immigrants. This could be attributed to the class background and occupations of the first Ukrainian immigrants. Before World War II, the peasants from western Ukraine were funnelled into farming and unskilled jobs. Their maintenance of traditional values delayed social mobility. Not until after World War II, when Ukrainians with a higher level of education arrived, did the social composition of Ukrainians become differentiated. However due to their lack of knowledge of English, the absence of an employment placement network, and because the pre-war Ukrainian immigrants were still low on the occupational scale, the latest immigrants suffered a process of declassing; their jobs rarely reflected their educational backgrounds. The government lacked institutions which could absorb immigrant talents. Hence, the declassed immigrants entered existing ethnic organizations, imposing new cultural values on them. A class phenomenon, it was an attempt to maintain the status and prestige they had possessed in Ukraine. The emigre organizations acted as vehicles for social mobility, especially for those former peasants whose status had risen as a result of political participation. These organizations, aimed at cultural ethnic preservation and not entrance into Canadian society, articulated group rather than individual values. A result of the ethnic structure in Ukraine, where Ukrainian ethnicity has always been "under seige," they overemphasized ethnicity as a means of cultural perpetuation among Ukrainians more so than other ethnic groups. Language was crucial in distinguishing the Ukrainians from Poles or Russians. The speaker concluded that to explain the socio-economic situation of Ukrainians in Canada one must use both the concepts of class (power, prestige, wealth) and ethnicity (ancestry, culture, value, customs, socialization).

Ivan Dziuba—From Internationalism or Russification to Facets of a Crystal
Ukrainian Dissent
Russification
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The Institute's fourth seminar of the current academic year took place on November 17. Michael Savaryn, first year law student at the University of Alberta, spoke on "Ivan Dziuba—From International- ism or Russification to Facets of a Crystal. The writers of the 1960s gave Ukrainian cultural life a spark of inspiration. Ivan Dziuba, a literary critic, symbolized the post-Stalin renaissance in Ukraine by becoming a political activist. For ten years, seemingly motivated by uncompromising conviction, Dziuba fearlessly criticized government policies; his actions culminated in the preparation and circulation of the now renowned dissertation Internationalism or Russification. Then, quite unexpectedly, Dziuba broke down under pressure and recanted. Valentyn Moroz attributes this downfall to Dziuba's lack of fervent faith combined with too much logic and "realism." Leonid Pliushch, on the other hand, believes that Dziuba lacked the necessary ideological persistence, and that his arguments were overly emotional. There is also a third interpretation Dziuba was part of a reformist movement in Ukraine whose success depended on a strong lobby for reform and compromise by Ukraine's top political leaders. Indeed, Shelest, the first secretary of the C.P.U. , encouraged efforts to improve the status of the Ukrainian language in Ukraine, and Dziuba naturally became a fullblown political activist at a time when the system seemed to offer genuine opportunities for reform. Two trends have been evident within the dissident movement in Ukraine: one consisted of reformists willing to compromise with the system while demanding reform, another consisted of uncompromising revolutionaries who lack contact with the political elite. When in 1972 the entire political elite in Ukraine was purged, Shelestivshchyna fell, and Dziuba, imprisoned at that time, saw his movement torn to shreds. He had become a dying remnant of a bygone era. Resistance was futile because his self-imposed duty was reformism, and he had adhered to it to the end of its possible life.

Controversies over the Cultural Development of Pre-Ninth-Century Slavs
Ukraine's Historiography
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. In his presentation entitled, "Controversies over the Cultural Development of Pre-Ninth-Century Slavs," Roman Zurba, an M.A. student in archeology, discussed the Middle Dnieper region as the cradle of Kievan Rus ' . Research on the first millenium A.D. is an important period not only for the study of the origins of Rus', but also for the study of the cultural development of all East Slavic peoples. / Modern archeological controversy on this subject began near the end of the nineteenth century when the archeologist V. V. Khvoika uncovered two hitherto unknown cultures in Kiev Province—the Zarubynetsk (c. 200 B.C.-200 A.D.) and Cherniakhivsk (c. 200 A.D. -500 A.D.). He placed them in a direct cultural link to Kievan Rus’, and thereby formulated the autochthonous theory. This ran counter to the Gothic theory proposed by German and Polish scholars. In 1954, the Cherniakhivsk culture was characterized as multi-ethnic. In formulating these interpretations, researchers all saw the same physical and cultural manifestations. However, their analyses were based on scholarly upbringing, which affected their conceptions. The speaker then outlined the development and vicissitudes of Ukrainian archeology in postrevolution times. Political sanctions against the Kievan school have considerably altered archeological research. However, in spite of purges and the rise of new scholars, Khvoika's theory remains the most vital and workable. / The speaker outlined his view of archeological development in the Middle Dnieper region by interpreting the proto-historic period in terms of North American theory. Here the dominant concept is that of "tradition": a cultural continuum in a geographical area which is characterized by a definite patterning of subsistence practices, technology, and ecological adaptations. In this manner, attention was devoted to the stones-and-bones aspect of the three major cultures—Zarubynetsk, Cherniakhivsk, and early Slav (Penkivsk type) . The example of the archeological site at Horodok was used as a paleo-economic model to polemicize with historians who saw the early Slavs as cattle breeders migrating through eastern Europe. / The concept of autochthonous cultural development in the Middle Dnieper region in the first millenium A.D. was used to outline three major phases: the florescent period, the developed period, and the period of decline. The Zarubynetsk and Cherniakhivsk cultures were tied to the spread of the Celtic renascence and the outward expansion of the Roman empire into Dacia (Romania and Moldavia). The last period corresponded to the decline of the Roman empire and a period of attacks by various steppe peoples, i.e., the Avars. This period strongly resembled the post-Mongol culture in Ukraine with its return to more simple and primitive forms. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 1 (Winter 1978)

The Changing Status of Ukrainian-Canadian Women
Economic Integration
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. Using census and statistical material from W. Darcovich and P. Yuzyk (eds.), "Statistical Compendium on Ukrainian Canadians, 1891-1977" and material from a survey of historical and sociological literature, the first seminar in the Institute's series at the University of Toronto provided a social and demographic framework for the study of Ukrainian-Canadian women. The paper entitled, "The Changing Status of Ukrainian-Canadian Women," outlined some basic social characteristics of Ukrainian-Canadian women from 1921 to 1971. The data examined included periods of immigration, regional distribution, urban-rural distribution, country of birth, and age distribution. The paper discussed the participation of Ukrainian- Canadian women in the paid work force, and particularly women's changing occupational patterns. / According to the 1971 census, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainian-Canadian women were Canadian-born and approximated the overall Canadian female urban-rural distribution. An approximation to Canadian norms was also found in occupational and educational patterns. In 1921, on the other hand, Ukrainian-Canadian women were grossly over represented in the educational category "illiterate" and the occupational categories "agriculture and service." In 1971, they were still slightly over represented in the category of those with only elementary education. In occupational categories Ukrainian-Canadian women were still slightly overrepresented in the service and agricultural categories. / The paper suggested that the patterns of occupational and educational change were primarily explained by socio-economic changes in society which affected the participation of all women in the work force. Factors such as the growth of the "clerical" as opposed to the "service" sector and the sex-segregation of jobs were discussed. Provisional explanations for the social patterns among Ukrainian-Canadian women discussed the role of ethnic discrimination, the specific historical experience of Ukrainian Canadians, and Ukrainian-Canadian socialization.

Communist Party of Ukraine
Bolshevik Revolution
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. In his seminar, "Communism and the Dilemmas of National Liberation: The CP(b)U, 1919–33," James Mace, doctoral candidate in history. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, took the position that events in Ukraine after the Soviet revolution were and still are relevant to international developments. The first attempt in the world to reconcile socialism and nationalism failed in Ukraine because of the continuing dilemma between identity and purpose, and the inherent contradictions between the goals of socialism and nationalism. The speaker provided an overview of Bolshevik theories and practices before, during, and after the revolution by focusing on Lenin's writings and on the Bolsheviks' attitude towards Ukraine. The 1915 debate between Lev Iurkevych and Lenin foreshadowed the future conflicts which would arise between Ukrainian and Russian communists. / The Bolsheviks viewed Ukraine primarily as a source of food and acted accordingly—pillaging and expropriating grain during the civil war. Bolshevik policy then changed to "socialism with a Ukrainian face" to win popular support from the peasantry. The speaker focussed on the struggles between: the Bolsheviks and the Ukrainian "kulak" peasantry; voices for change from within the RCP (b) (i.e., Mazlakh, Shakhrai, and Lapchinsky); the merger of the "Ukapisty" and "Borotbisty" with the Bolsheviks; and debates about Ukrainization reflected in the writings of Ravich-Cherkassky, Iavorsky, Popov, Khvylovy, Shumsky, Volobuiev, and Skrypnyk. / The speaker concluded that attempts at Ukrainization ended after Stalin defeated his opposition and no longer needed the support of the non-Russian Bolsheviks. After collectivization and the famine, it was no longer necessary to placate the Ukrainian countryside; full-scale Russification could begin. The attempt to guarantee Ukrainian national aspirations through communism was only a surrogate for independence; it was a relative degree of political and economic autonomy dependent on the centralist powers in Moscow. The only major Ukrainian achievement of this period was in the cultural field, but this was thwarted by the wholesale destruction of the Ukrainian intelligentsia in the 1930s. Thus the dilemma of identity and purpose was never solved. Russian communism triumphed by repudiating the promises it had made to the non-Russian nationalities.

Mykhailo Drahomanov: A Reassessment of the Man and His Ideas
Russian Revolution
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. In a seminar entitled, "Mykhailo Drahomanov: A Reassessment of the Man and His Ideas," Christine Worobec, M. A., recent history graduate from the University of Toronto, concentrated upon Mykhailo Drahomanov 's thought and the unique position this historian, political scientist and journalist, folklorist and literary critic held in the turbulent political arena which plagued the Russian autocratic regime in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Dedicated to the realization of complete political freedom in the Russian empire, Drahomanov strode the centrifugal forces of both Russian radicalism and Ukrainian nationalism. This life-long struggle, however, resulted in Drahomanov 's isolation from both Russian revolutionary circles and the focal point of the Ukrainian national movement, the Kievan "Hromada." This was due to his unrelenting critical nature and, more importantly, his perceptive conception of nationalism, the progressive aspects of which were intrinsically tied to his quest for freedom within the confines of the Russian empire. Against ethnic chauvinism and reaction, Drahomanov paradoxically was destined to suffer isolation from the Russian revolutionary circles due to his so-called "Ukrainophile" leanings. At the same time, his Russian political activity contributed to his ostracism from the conservative Kievan "Hromada," which censured his Ukrainian pursuits as too radical. / The paper reexamined the most striking feature of Drahomanov' s political ideology, i.e., the fusion of cosmopolitanism and nationalism and its practical application in relation to the Russian revolutionary and Ukrainian national movements. Discussion touched on: Drahomanov 's veneration of historical progress as an evolutionary process bringing man closer to perfection with each successive era; his propagation of socialist anarchism as the ideal form of human association; his advocacy of a decentralized federated state in place of the autocratic tsarist regime; and finally, his definition of the "plebeian" nation and nationalism in general. / After the paper, the consensus was that Drahomanov has most decidedly been misunderstood and unjustly neglected as an important nineteenth-century figure. Although his name has not been put alongside the readily familiar names of Russian or Ukrainian revolutionaries, his ideas and their application to concrete problems enriched both the Russian revolutionary and the Ukrainian national movements. Drahomanov's unique position and his voluminous writings provide a wealth of unused material for the historian who is interested in a novel, perceptive view of nineteenth-century social developments.
