On 6-8 September 1991, CIUS marked the Ukrainian Canadian centenary with a conference on selected aspects of Ukrainian life in Canada in the years between 1924 and 1951. Coinciding with the release of Orest Martynowych's landmark monograph, Ukrainians in Canada: The Formative Years, 1891-1924, the conference was designed as a first step toward creating a research base for writing the interwar history of Ukrainians in Canada. This period, in contrast to the well-studied pioneer immigration and prairie settlement experience, has received relatively little scholarly attention, despite it being so critical to both the crystallizing Ukrainian Canadian community and ongoing integration into Canadian life. Accordingly, it was CIUS’s plan to attract papers on as wide an array of topics as possible, avoiding broad generalities in favour of more limited but illuminating profiles and case studies.
In this recording Robert Klymasz of the East European Programme, Canadian Centre for Folk Culture Studies - Canadian Museum of Civilization, looked at the aesthetics of assimilation and the Ukrainian experience in Canada.

His talk surveyed the situation of Ukrainian minorities in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Yugoslavia.
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.
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”
