Extractions: Richly endowed in natural resources, Ukraine has been fought over and subjugated for centuries; its 20th-century struggle for liberty is not yet complete. A short-lived independence from Russia (1917-1920) was followed by brutal Soviet rule that engineered two artificial famines (1921-22 and 1932-33) in which over 8 million died, and World War II, in which German and Soviet armies were responsible for some 7 million more deaths.

Extractions: The climactic scene of Ukraine's first real epic movie features the Russian czar Peter the Great and the Cossack hetman, or leader, who betrayed him, Ivan Mazepa, drinking toasts at a surreal bloody banquet as the Battle of Poltava rages around them. "Thank you, great tyrant, for destroying Ukraine!" cries Mazepa. A crazed Peter leaps across the table and seizes Mazepa's face. "I will tear your mouth, you stinking dog!" Then he turns to his troops. "Soldiers! Kill all Ukrainians! For the Czar!" "A Prayer for Hetman Mazepa," Ukraine's biggest-budget feature film since the nation declared its independence in 1991, boasts little of the subtlety of highbrow post-Soviet cinema from Russia and none of the escapism mass-produced by Hollywood. It will not stir young girls like "Titanic" or young boys like another "Star Wars" installment. Yet it is stirring a national dialogue about what it means to be Ukrainian in a country that never really was a country until just 11 years ago. Mazepa, as every Ukrainian knows, is famed for switching sides during Peter's long-running war with Sweden in exchange for a promise of Ukrainian independence only to watch the Russians crush that dream, along with the Swedes, at Poltava in 1709. For nearly three centuries since, Mazepa has been reviled in Russian and Soviet history books as the ultimate traitor.

Extractions: Luteg beachhead Humans I grew up on the first defence line and as a kids we've been exploring bunkers and digging. Adults never minded us to do this, only warned of two things. If there is mine, we should call for sappers, if human bones we should cover them with the earth. An ancient Greek Sophocles adviced the same. Bury dead, he said, if can not bury, at least throw a handful of earth. Finally, common sense tells not to disturb peace of dead and we don't. Here boots of soldiers, we found them in a trenches, I believe, rain wash them away, bones have been there, sticking out, white human bones and we did as Sophocles said, we burried them. Buttons from German uniform. Soviet five-kopeck coin, some one might carry them for a luck. A chances to identify a Soviet dead in Bukrin almost non existant. Most part of 300.000 Soviet people who died here have been a civilians. As I said, it was a fictitious attack with mock ups of tanks, dummies and even fake landing strip. It's like in a movie, all fake, only people are real and they needed a lot of people for this crowd scene. Civilians were mostly guys from liberated villages and towns. They weared a black padde jackets and got a name a black shirts. Half of them had no rifles. Ones with the rifles were ahead and when they died, the other picked up their arms.

Mittell, Jr.: In Ukraine, history looks ahead 01:00 AM EDT on Thursday, August 4, 2005 KIEV, Ukraine IT IS MORE than seven months since Ukraine's Orange Revolution triumphed, with the swearing in of Viktor Yushchenko as president. For many Americans, the spectacle of thousands of people camped for weeks in frigid tents in Kiev's Maidan, or Independence Square, was their first lesson that Ukraine is a nation, not some pseudo-state on Russia's rump. I would have loved to have been in the United States seven months after George Washington first took the oath, in 1789. Technically speaking, Providence would have been in a different country, since Rhode Island was still refusing to ratify the Constitution. There, and up the Post Road in Attleboro, U.S.A., I imagine one would have heard a degree of griping that high hopes so recently held hadn't seemed to have changed much. Most importantly, in both countries "We, the people" spoke, were heard, and thereby put a revolutionary imprimatur on the history of their country. In our case, it was the "miracle at Philadelphia" the Constitution itself. In Ukraine's case, it was the nation's refusal to accept the perpetuation by fraud of rule by a corrupt oligarchy propped up by the former imperial power's meddling leader, Vladimir Putin.

Extractions: A political and legal history of Carpatho-Ukraine launched at Harvard by Robert DeLossa CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University celebrated the launch of a new book by Dr. Vincent Shandor on November 7, with a reception at the institute and a formal dinner at Harvard's Faculty Club. The reception and dinner not only marked the publication of "Carpatho-Ukraine in the Twentieth Century: A Political and Legal History," but also honored Dr. Shandor's life as a Carpatho-Ukrainian statesman, scholar and champion of Ukrainian statehood. In his welcome, Prof. Roman Szporluk, Mykhailo Hrushevsky Professor of Ukrainian History and director of the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute (HURI), remarked on the good fortune of the institute to be able to publish the political memoirs of a man not only important to the history and formation of the contemporary Ukrainian state, but to the history of Czecho-Slovakia as well. Despite the fact that people tend to overlook so-called "little countries and little regions," he stressed that Carpatho-Ukraine has been extremely important in the history of this century. Now, as the Transcarpathian Oblast of an independent Ukraine, Carpatho-Ukraine is Ukraine's gateway to the other countries of Central Europe. Prof. Szporluk also highlighted the date of November 7 and the fact that this time of year has great resonance for the material contained in Dr. Shandor's book: the Bolshevik coup in Petrograd, a sad event for Ukraine, took place on November 7, 1917; the Central Rada's Third Universal proclaimed the Ukrainian National Republic (within a federation with Russia) on Nov. 20, 1917; Czechoslovak independence was announced on October 28, 1918, a fact that had huge importance for Dr. Shandor personally and Carpatho-Ukraine in general; the Western Ukrainian National Republic was declared on October 19, 1918. All these underscore the momentous changes that took place at the end of World War I and during the interwar period, precisely the time when Dr. Shandor actively participated in molding the history of Carpatho-Ukraine.

The direct ancestors of modern Ukrainians, they were a collection of tribes that evolved from the Indo-European populace of Eastern Europe . In the 9th century A.D., small groups of Viking warrior-merchants appeared in the territories of the Eastern Slavs. Although culturally they had minimal impact on the locals, politically their contribution was monumental: the Slavic-Scandinavian relationship generated the medieval state of Kyivan Rus, with the first few rulers bearing Scandinavian names.

Collections Ukrainian Find in European Division Pages Researchers Web Pages All Library of Congress Pages Bohdan Yasinsky, Ukrainian Area Specialist Ukraine, as a central Slavic country, plays a significant role in the development not only of its own language, but in that of other Slavic languages spoken in neighboring or nearby countries: Russian, Belarussian, Polish, Slovak, Czech, and even Serbo-Croatian. Thus publications in Ukrainian are also important for the study of other Slavic countries, especially those bordering on Ukraine. Ukrainian books and periodicals in history, geography and culture are especially important for Belarus and Russia, since for centuries (i.e., the 10th-13th centuries) these countries were under the influence of Ukrainian (called at that time Kievan Rus') culture and church activities. Ukrainian art ranges from that of Kievan Rus' (architecture and icons) to Cossack State (particularly Cossack Baroque, in architecture, painting and literature), to the 19th Century Romanticism associated with such representatives as Taras Shevchenko the greatest Ukrainian poet and painter, and sometimes called "Rembrandt of the Slavic world." Other prominent Ukrainian writers and scholars include Izmail Sreznevs'kyi, a noted scholar, Mykola Kostomarov, leader of the first political party in the Russian Empire, the Cyril-Methodius Brotherhood in Kiev, and Panteleimon Kulish, an important member of

Weather in Kiev History of Ukraine The thirties and forties turned out to be even more dramatic and tragic to Ukraine than anything it had lived through before. The Soviet totalitarian regime wrought havoc in Ukraine with purges, extermination of Ukrainian wealthy peasants and intellectuals, artificially induced famines (the famine of 1932-1933 took a terrible toll of several million lives). Ukrainian culture suffered enormous losses both in terms of intellectuals shot or dispatched to concentration camps, and of destruction of historical and architectural monuments, books, etc.

Subtelny insists upon, and convincingly demonstrates, the distinctiveness of the Ukrainian experience and the legitimacy of Ukrainian history. His book should also be of interest to students of immigrant and ethnic history in Canada for the perspective it offers on the Ukrainian-Canadian experience, treating it not as a Canadian phenomenon but as an integral part of Ukrainian history.

Sysyn Over twenty years ago, Omeljan Pritsak presented his plan to translate sixty volumes of Ukrainian historical texts to his colleagues at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. As with many projects of that visionary organizer of scholarship, some more modest part of his plan has been fulfilled. Six volumes of translations of medieval and early modern texts have already appeared in the excellent Harvard Library of Early Ukrainian Literature. Modern Ukrainian history has not been as fortunate, despite the increasing interest in Ukraine and teaching of courses in the field. The anthology will serve those who wish to gain a general view of Ukrainian intellectual life and those who teach Ukrainian and East European intellectual history. Although one may regret that the editors did not provide a bibliography of other texts available in English translation, they have already done much to make modern Ukrainian intellectual history accessible to the English-language reader.

Extractions: var site="sm7smashmeter" THE INDEPUNDIT FRONT PAGE The other night, I had dinner with my friend Eric. Eric emigrated to the United States from Odessa, in the then-Soviet republic of Ukraine, in 1989. I asked Eric if he could draft a brief summary of the history of Ukraine from his perspective. This is what he provided. I haven't edited it much, except to make the format fit the web page. Any errors in grammar or spelling are Eric's. It helps if you "hear" it with a Ukrainian accent (think Yakov Smirnoff , who also hails from Odessa). IT COULD BE ARGUED that the Russian nation in fact originates from Ukraine. There were many city-states in ancient Russia, and Kiev was one of the strongest (Moscow did not exist). The city of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, was apparently founded approximately at the end of the 5th and the beginning of the 6th centuries Moscow In the meantime the territory of modern Ukraine has fallen under the control of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. This is apparently the time when Ukrainian language and ethnicity differentiated from the Russian. Ukrainian language seems to me as something in between Russian and Polish languages: it has similarities to both. But then, all the Slavic languages are pretty similar.
