Western-Ukrainian Intelligentsia in the National and Cultural Processes, 1914 – 1939

ЗАХІДНОУКРАЇНСКА ІНТЕЛІГЕНЦІА У ЗАГАЛЬНОНАЦІОНАЛНИХ ПОЛІТИЧНИХ ТА КУЛЬТУРНИХ ПРОЦЕСАХ (1914-1939)

Author(s): Oleksandr Rubľov / Language(s): Ukrainian

The monograph presents a final outcome of scientific investigations undertaken by the author during last 15 years. The work is devoted to the activity of Western-Ukrainian intelligentsia in the fields of national and cultural development of the region. The idea of the national territorial integrity formulated by the Ukrainian activists at the turn of 20th century and realized during Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1921 was partly turned into practical achievements by Ukrainian intellectuals under the Bolshevik and Polish occupation of Ukrainian lands in the 1920–30s.

Keywords: History of Ukraine;

MYKHAYLO DRAHOMANOV. A Symposium and Selected Writings. Published in 1922 by the THE UKRAINIAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES IN THE U. S. as an issue of the "ANNALS OF THE UKRAINIAN ACADEMY" // Compiled with the assistance of the Drahomanov Commission of the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in the U. S. under the chairmanship of Professor Svitozor Drahomanov. Edited by Ivan L. Rudnytsky. // The problems which Drahomanov faced in his own day still await solution today. Perhaps a constructive approach may be gained through the study of a man who, like many Ukrainian scholars today, had to leave his native Ukraine and yet came to see more clearly her place in Europe. “Emigration,” Drahomanov wrote, “is bitter, but under certain circumstances, inevitable. Beginning with the sixteenth century the freedom of England, Scotland, then of France, Germany, Italy, and Hungary could not do without emigration and its literature. The freedom of the Ukraine also demands it” (Letters to the Dnieper Ukraine). // The present volume which is published as a special issue of the Annals presents a symposium of studies devoted to Mykhaylo Drahomanov and a selection from his own works. It is intended to acquaint the English speaking world and in particular American and English students of East European history with the life and work of Drahomanov.

Maroussia, from a legend by Marko Wovzog. (Marko Vovchok)

Maroussia, d'après une légende de Marko Wovzog. (Marko Vovtchok)

Author(s): Maria Aleksandrovna Vilinska / Language(s): French

Marko Vovtchok (Ukrainian and Russian: Марко Вовчок), is the male pseudonym of Maria Aleksandrovna Vilinska (in russian: Мария Александровна Вилинская; in Ukrainian: Марія Олександрівна Вілінська). Born December 10, 1833 (December 22, 1833 in the Gregorian calendar) and died July 28, 1907 (August 10, 1907 in the Gregorian calendar), she was a Ukrainian-born Russian writer and translator, and one of the first women of Ukrainian Literature. Often mentioned in France under the name Marko Wovzog, she is known to the French-speaking public thanks to Maroussia, one of her Ukrainian short stories that the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel adapted into a novel. Very successful in bookstores in France, this patriotic novel was awarded the Montyon prize from the French Academy in 1879. Translated into several European languages, it was regularly republished in France until 1980.

Germany and Ukraine 1934-1945. Facts of European Ostpolitik. A preliminary Report. Vol. I

Deutschland und die Ukraine 1934-1945. Tatsachen europäischer Ostpolitik. Ein Vorbericht. Band I

Author(s): Roman Ilnytzkyi / Language(s): German

Keywords: WW II; German-Ukrainian Relations;

ALFRED DE ZAYAS: The extensive journalistic and historical activity of Ukrainians in exile further confirm the results of the investigations carried out by the War Crimes Bureau in 1941. Roman Ilnytzkyi's study condemns both the murders perpetrated in the Ukraine by the SS and the NKVD murders in Lvov. A collection of documents dealing with the Russian colonialism in the Ukraine devotes an entire chapter to the liquidation of Ukrainian political prisoners by the NKVD, not only in Lvov but also in Vinnitsa, Solotschiv, and a dozen other localities. It reproduces numerous reports of Ukrainian eyewitnesses living today in the United States, Canada, and the Federal Republic of German. // THE AUTHOR: The reader who feels bound by the hitherto generally expressed political opinions about German Ostpolitik must be pointed out from the outset that he is encountering new points of view here. First, the attempt is made to prove that the alleged unity of National-Socialist Ostpolitik did not exist at all. Rather, it was very differentiated and represented by various, often strongly opposing currents. The fateful struggle between Hitler and Rosenberg over the direction of German Ostpolitik had already been fundamentally decided before the outbreak of the German-Soviet war. From the outset, Hitler's victory over Rosenberg greatly jeopardized German political and military success in the East. To the detriment of historical knowledge, no one has pointed out this fact to date, so that the German Ostpolitik has so far been withheld from the public in all its diversity. The prevailing view that German Ostpolitik was based on Rosenberg's plan to divide the USSR into national states is a historical misjudgment. // The reader should also be advised that the historical-political insights on which this volume is based must be viewed as the result of the overall research, i.e. also of the material that is only presented in the second volume.

Roman Ilnytzkyi's study condemns both the murders perpetrated in the Ukraine by the SS and the NKVD murders in Lvov.

It reproduces numerous reports of Ukrainian eyewitnesses living today in the United States, Canada, and the Federal Republic of German. // THE AUTHOR: The author considers the criticism of his view presented in Volume I to be unjustified, namely that no one in modern German and Ukrainian historiography has attempted to present German-Ukrainian political relations in context (see the preface to the first volume). The critic referred the author to Dmytro Doroshenko's work "Ukraine and the Empire" as the account that allegedly accomplished this task. The work of Doroshenko, an internationally renowned Ukrainian historian, is excellent, but its value obviously lies in one completely different field. This work cannot be considered as a history of German-Ukrainian political relations, because it is merely a brilliant presentation of German views on Ukraine over the centuries. The Ukrainian material was not considered at all, because the author had not intended to report on the relations between the two peoples.
