Extractions: KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Hrushevsky's history is essential to understanding Ukraine today Following are excerpts of the keynote speech delivered by Dr. Nancy S. Kollmann, professor of history and director of the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies at Stanford University, at the book launch to mark the publication of Volume 8, "The Cossack Age, 1626-1650," of Mykhailo Hrushevsky's multi-volume "History of Ukraine Rus' " in English translation. ...The appearance in English of Hrushevsky's Volume 8, dedicated to the Kozak uprisings and social conditions of the early 17th century and to the first years of the Khmelnytsky uprising, is truly a momentous occasion. From my vantage point I see its importance from many different perspectives. As a teacher of East European and Ukrainian history, I welcome it as an invaluable help in the classroom. As a historian and teacher of Russian history, it will be a wonderful tool to give students a different viewpoint on the development of the Rus' lands than the usual Russian nationalist myth promoted in so many other English-language books. From my point of view as a scholar involved in promoting area studies of this part of the world East Europe, the former Soviet Union at a time of tremendous change, I see this book as very helpful in pushing new trends of thinking about area studies. What I'd like to do today is to elaborate on those two big areas a bit - the changes that are going in area studies and the usefulness of this book in the teaching of East European, Ukrainian and even, maybe even especially, in Russian history.

About a dozen were pulled out on Sunday and another 17 overnight, police and miners' union officials said.
