Kateryna Botanova “We’ll die, not in Paris –”: New Ukrainian Poetry Mykola Ryabchuk “There is perhaps no other poetry in the world that is quite so oriented towards the past. There’s a good reason for this. No other poetry is seeking justifications for its people’s right to exist in quite the same way.” Mykola Ryabchuk (writing in 1989) explains the historical reasons for the provincialization of Ukraine and the preoccupation of writers with questions of national and individual identity. Is it worth the trouble, dying in Paris? This question was asked at one of the first – and one of the most explosive – pro-perestroika meetings at the House of Poets in Kiev. It was raised after Natalka Bilotserkivets had recited her poem, with the following epigraph by Cesar Vallejo: “I will die in Paris on Thursday night”. So, the poet read:

A few years ago I happened to teach a course on Ukrainian Culture and Civilization at Penn State University to a dozen of students whose major was agriculture, chemical technology or electric engineering but who had opted for a minor course on Ukrainian culture rather than Russian, Chinese or Malaysian, because most of them were of Ukrainian origin and believed, rather candidly, that they knew at least something about the subject. One of the easiest questions on the subject in the final examination was: Which countries does Ukraine border with?

Footnotes Introduction: The famine of 1933 in Soviet Ukraine was an atrocity, which has been revealed to the world in the last 10 years. The effects of this genocide in which over 7 million deaths occurred, have many repercussions that are still felt today. In this paper it is of utmost importance to understand the onset of this tragedy in order to appreciate the consequences. For th, is reason I have started with a brief history of Soviet Ukraine, and then move into the repercussions of the Famine, so that we may comprehend why Ukraine is what it is today. Brief History of Soviet Ukraine: Ukraine means borderland. An appropriate name for a land lying between Poland and Russia, on the southeast edge of Europe - at the threshold of Asia. A land where the earliest traces of human habitation go back 150,000 years. At the end of the First World War, Ukraine gained a short-lived, and hard-fought, independence from the Russian Empire. During this short-lived independence, Ukrainian culture blossomed, and a strong nationalism grew among the citizens. The independence of Ukraine ended in 1921, when the Red Army, under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin, marched over the White Army and took control of Ukraine

And they want to fortify their borders. And we are left behind for next maybe twenty years, or maybe forever. And there is enough influence of Russian politics, and Russian economy in the Ukraine, anyway. Probably more that of European. Russia is pushing Ukraine into signing the agreement about a unified trade, and economic space between Russia, Kazachstan, and Belarus, and Ukraine. And this will be an attempt to create either a new much smaller Soviet Union, or just to show that Europe doesn’t care about Ukraine, so Ukraine should look for friendly neighbors.

Improving Culture Funding in Ukraine Policy Paper Executive summary During the 1990s, financial conditions of the majority of Ukrainian cultural institutions deteriorated dramatically, while the social status and the incomes of cultural sector workers became remarkably lower. Public subsidies to cultural organizations have been plummeting in 1993-1998. The amounts increased in 1999-2001, but they have been declining both as a share of Ukraine’s GNP and as a share of national budget. Cultural participation fell dramatically in the 1990s, so did the number of public libraries, cinemas and houses of culture. Ukrainians buy much less books and newspapers, less often visit cinemas, theaters and museums than twenty or even ten years ago. The state’s financial support to non-public cultural organizations and to cultural industries is negligible. Ukraine’s public cultural sector virtually avoided privatization. Actual funding policy The actual policy of culture funding in Ukraine consists of: financial maintenance (full or partial) of public cultural/artistic institutions from public budgets; public fundng of major cultural actions of «national importance»; some tax benefits to non-profit organizations (including some, but not all types of public cultural organizations), to charities and corporate arts donors; limited protectionism of some cultural industries (book publishing); routine subsidies to mainstream artistic associations but virtual absence of institutionalized public financial support to private cultural organizations and NGOs; finally, underdeveloped competitive mechanisms of cultural project funding.

Regions of Mind History, U.S. regionalism, foreign policy, life. Ukraine: bad historical timing? H Geitner Simmons email link Are Ukrainians trying to build a nation at the wrong time in history? That is a question an old North Carolina (and close student of Ukraine) raised in a recent e-mail to me. He wrote: Think about it: There was a period of nation-building, the 18th-19th century, when all these countries emerged from their feudal trappings and formed the idea of the nation-state, usually with a national language and culture. but Ukrainians are trying to do this in a trans-national era, when multi-vectored associations are developing across cultures and continents and it isn't possible to seal off your culture in a jar long enough for it to jell, as it were. For instance, even today a large majority of the books and TV shows in Ukraine are in Russian, and with Russia's larger culture right across a permeable border, it is hard to imagine how Ukrainian culture is going to get off the ground, even with proper feeding and support from the government. There are 150 million Russians and 40 million Ukrainians, half of whom speak Russian, so how is a Ukrainian culture to emerge in an era of mass marketed media?

We all stayed together at a place much like an American hotel called Dubek. We then spent the next several days in orientation to the Global Project and to Ukrainian culture. On the 21st of June, 22 Ukrainian college students came to Dubek to stay with us. Each of the Ukrainian students paired up with an American student and shared a room together. After this process, we began a journey together. This journey consisted of friendship evangelism, which is witnessing to another through friendship, and many other activities, including Bible studies, praise and worship meetings, field trips, afternoons at a nearby lake, and playing cards. We also took part in English and Russian language classes as well as American and Ukrainian culture classes. These classes were taught by different college students that were a part of our Global Project. I learned a lot on this Global Project. One thing I learned was that God is God and that He is
