The Historical and Literary Background to Ukrainian-Spanish Relations
subject: History
subject: Ukrainian Literature
description: 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 Holodomor and the Soviet Famines, 1931–33
subject: Holodomor (Famine in Ukraine)

subject: Soviet Ukraine
subject: Stalin, Joseph
subject: Peasants
subject: Communist Party
subject: Intelligentsia
description: CIUS seminar audio. 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” 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. 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, the…

description: CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The third Institute seminar in Edmonton was presented on 16 October by Markian Kowaluk, a graduate student in the Department of Slavic Languages. He spoke on "The Literary Career of Mykola Rudenko," which is also the topic of his master's thesis. Mykola Rudenko was born on 19 December 1920 in the village of Iurivka, Luhanske oblast, Ukraine, and grew up in the Donbas region among coal miners and steel workers. He entered the philological faculty of Kyiv State University in 1939, but in October of that year was drafted into the army. Critically wounded during the defence of Leningrad, he was left a permanent invalid. After the war Rudenko served as editor of R'adlanskyl pysmermyk and, from 1947 to 1950, worked as chief editor of Dnipro. Rudenko is the author of numerous books. His early poems reflect Communist ideals of heroism and devotion to the Party. One of his more acclaimed epic poems of the early period is "Leninhradtsi . " His later works are more about nature, people and social conditions in his homeland. His novels Viter v oblychehia and Ostarmla shablla became quite popular during the 1950s. Rudenko has also written short stories, popular science and science fiction. In the 1960s he underwent an ideological evolution, resulting in an open espousal of dissident ideas and leadership of the Ukrainian Helsinki group. Arrested in 1976, he was first placed in a psychiatric asylum, then in a prison camp where he remains to this day. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 4 Issue 1 (Winter 1979)

The Making and Tempering of the Ukrainian American
description: CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The Institute’s third seminar was given by Dr. Myron Kuropas on "The Making and Tempering of the Ukrainian American." Between 1884 and 1915, the Rusin-American who emigrated to the United States with a weak ethnonational identity became a Ukrainian. This process of ethno-genesis involved three ethno-national streams which competed for the loyalty of the Rusin: the Russian stream, the Uhro- Rusin stream and the Ukrainian stream. The ethno-national identity of the Ukrainian American was tempered during a period in America which extended from 1915 to 1939. Three political ideologies competed for the loyalties of Ukrainian Americans during this era: communism, monarchism and nationalism. The role of the Ukrainian Catholic church during the period of ethno-genesis was crucial, as was the role of the Ukrainian National Association and its organ Svoboda. After 1915, a number of political organizations in America rose to the surface to take on the function of ethno-national clarification. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 4 Issue 1 (Winter 1979)

subject: Church
subject: Methodist Rural Home Missions
subject: Immigration and Settlement
subject: Ukrainian Canadians
subject: Christianity
description: 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 cu…

Dr. Andrij Hornjatkevyc, assistant professor of Interdisciplinary Studies and Slavic languages, spoke on "The Music of the Dumy." Dr. Hornjatkevyc first addressed the question of the nature of the folk epic. It is an oral narrative that, in effect, is created anew at each performance. This skill is acquired through a lengthy period of study with a master during which the disciple acquires the "grammar" (both lexical and musical) of the art form. The speaker then showed how this process is applied to the rendering of Ukrainian dumy. He explained the compositional structure of the duma text and dwelt on the melodic mode in particular. Dr. Hornjatkevyc concluded his presentation by performing the duma about Marusia of Bohuslav while accompanying himself on the bandura. A lively discussion followed the presentation.

The National Awakening in Ukraine, 1859–1863: Students in Kharkiv and Kyiv Universities
subject: Nationalism

description: CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. Dr. Roman Serbyn, of the history department at Universite du Quebec a Montreal, presented this year's last seminar which was entitled, "The National Awakening in Ukraine, 1859–1863: Students in Kharkiv and Kiev Universities." Heightened student activism emerging in post- Crimean Russia took on a specific, national coloring in the two universities situated in Ukraine. During this first "movement to the people", student activists drew closer to the common folk and, through the Ukrainian peasantry and the still un-Russified nascent working class, rediscovered Ukrainian language and culture. As "khlopophilism" blended with "Ukrainophilism" student activism found intellectual reinforcement in the Romantic literary tradition of the popular works of Taras Shevchenko and Marko Vovchok, as well as in the Ukrainian schools of Polish and Russian literature. A desire to promote the Ukrainian language, as well as a feeling of social debt, prompted students to set up Ukrainian language Sunday schools. More radical students organized in clandestine groups such as the revolutionary-minded Kharkiv Secret Political Society and the more moderate, or at least more heterogenous, Kyiv Student Hromada. Ukrainian student radicalism, leaning towards an eventually autonomous if not completely independent Ukraine, was acquiring a national consciousness and beginning to assert itself as a movement allied to, but independent of, Polish and Russian movements. The Ukrainian movement was also winning a grudging recognition, from Poles and Russians, as a partner in the common struggle against the tsarist regime. This development was cut short by the aborted Polish insurrection and renewed repression against Ukrainians. From then on, Ukrainophilism fell back into political moderation while the Russian radical movements siphoned off Ukrainian radicals into their own increasingly centralist organizations.

description: CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. Bohdan Chomiak and Jars Balan, graduate students at the University of Alberta, presented a joint seminar entitled, "The Peasant Revolution in Ukraine" on April 3, 1979. The seminar began with a brief introduction of three parts: (1) an examination of the current state of peasant studies; (2) a comparison between various Marxist and Narodnik (Populist) theoretical positions on the peasantry and the political perceptions held by the peasantry prior to the revolution; and finally, (3) an examination of the Ukrainian revolution, 1917 to 1921, whose unique features were described in comparison to the conditions in revolutionary Russia. The conclusion of the introduction gave the central themes for the seminar: a critical examination of the theoretical assumptions of Populism and Marxism concerning the peasantry, and an interpretation of the events of the peasant revolution in Ukraine. The theoretical assumptions of Populism and Marxism did not have time to change during the revolution, and these movements acted on the basis of their prior beliefs. The speakers showed that both Marxism and Populism had inaccurate interpretations of the peasantry. The Marxist interpretation of the peasantry was inadequate because it had an unjustified belief in rural idiocy and in the cultural superiority of industry and city life. The Populist interpretation was incorrect because it overindulged in a romantic vision of the peasantry. The speakers traced both theories historically. The peasant revolution occurred because of land hunger; war and revolution offered them the means to resolve this problem. The peasants measured different and successive regimes on the basis of their agrarian policies. The reaction of the peasantry to each regime manifested itself in four types of revolt: (1) land distribution, (2) cessation of cultivation, (3) political otamanschyna, and (4)banditry. Both speakers concluded that the peasant revolts stemmed from the failure of ea…

subject: XX c.
description: The book Politics of Multiculturalism is the memoir of an academic whose expertise in the education of Canadian minorities led him to take on a major political role in the Canadian multicultural movement. Born in the Ukrainian bloc settlement of east-central Alberta and educated at the universities of Alberta, Minnesota, and Harvard, Manoly R. Lupul combined the outlook of a liberal secular humanist with a conviction that modern society could be enriched by the cultural potential of ethnicity. His concern for the expansion of minority linguistic and cultural rights in Canada was sharpened by a direct encounter with the policy of Russification in Ukraine during a sabbatical leave in the late 1960s. Dr. Lupul’s involvement in Canadian multiculturalism began with the drafting and passage of Alberta’s first school legislation for bilingual programs (1971); similar laws were subsequently enacted in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. He went on to serve as an executive member of the Canadian Consultative Council on Multiculturalism and a member of the Alberta Cultural Heritage Council. In 1976 Dr. Lupul became the founding director of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Alberta, the first publicly funded institution of its kind outside Ukraine. He contributed significantly to the development of the multiculturalism section of the Canadian constitution (1982). This memoir, based not only on personal writings and recollections but also on extensive documentation, brings together much information previously unavailable in print. In his frank account, Dr. Lupul offers unrivalled first-person insight into the aspirations that gave rise to Canada’s policy of multiculturalism and the interplay of forces that shaped and blunted its development. The book will appeal to readers interested in Canadian culture and politics and, more generally, in the problem of promoting minority-group rights in democratic societies.

The Portrayal of Ukrainians in the Works of Morley Callaghan, W.O. Mitchell, Margaret Laurence, and Sinclair Ross
subject: Ethnicity
subject: Canadian Literature
subject: Ukrainian Canadians
description: 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 Present State of Ukrainian Bibliography and Its Critical Tasks
subject: Ukrainian Literature
subject: Bibliography
description: 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…

The Refugee experience : Ukrainian displaced persons after World War II
subject: Resettlement of Ukrainians
subject: World War II
subject: XX c.
subject: Concentration Camps
subject: Displaced Persons
subject: Displacement
description: This volume, a collective study of the post-World War II Ukrainian emigrants in Germany and Austria, departs from the standard approach to immigration studies. Instead of focusing on the immigrants’ adjustment to their host societies (the United States, Canada, Australia, the countries of Latin America, and others), the approach in this volume assumes the primary importance of the pre-immigration experience. The twenty-five contributions to this book present a detailed analysis of the social conditions that shaped the Ukrainian displaced persons, with particular attention to the five-year period that many of them spent in internationally organized resettlement camps. The essays in this volume are grouped in nine sections covering the most important facets of the displaced persons’ lives. These include an assessment of the DP phenomenon in the context of Ukrainian history; its demographic dimensions; an examination of the economic and organizational structure of the DP camps; the role of political parties and nationalist ideology; the activities of the Catholic and Orthodox churches; the establishment of schools and women’s organizations; the proliferation of literary, cultural, and scholarly activity; Soviet efforts at repatriation and the Allied response; the resettlement of Ukrainians in the USA and Canada; and a sociological and psychological interpretation of the DP experience. Four contributions by eyewitnesses round out the volume.

The Response of the Ukrainian Canadians to the Displaced Persons Situation in Europe

subject: Resettlement of Ukrainians
subject: World War II
description: 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.
