pursuing our research projects and for cooperation with colleagues worldwide. Concerns have been raised about prospects for academic freedom, access to archival materials, and other related issues. While by no means perfect, the situation of just a few months ago now seems a precious desideratum. In the context of this challenging present-day context, it is imperative for us as Ukrainian Studies scholars in the U.S. to continue speaking out with a concerned and strong voice to help ensure a vigorous future for the discipline of Ukrainian Studies across the globe, in concert with our sister national Ukrainian Studies associations and with the larger academic associations such as the AAASS, which is now headed, for the first time in its history, by a Ukrainian Studies specialist, Mark von Hagen, and the ASN, which remains one of the most Ukrainian Studies-friendly scholarly bodies. At our November 2009 meeting, we were fortunate to have visiting several high-ranking Ukrainian Studies specialists from around the globe and have an energetic, frank discussion on the prospects for the field of Ukrainian Studies from both an intellectual and an institutional perspective. The association and I personally am particularly grateful to Myroslava Znayenko, who had served as our association’s president for an extended period and continues to bring her warmth and generosity and tireless devotion to ensure the endurance of institutional memory and help strengthen the AAUS. I am also grateful to the following individuals for the various ways in which they have helped the Association to grow in the last year: Vice-President Zenon Wasyliw; Secretary-Treasurer Adriana Helbig; Members-at-Large Alexandra Hrycak, Robert Romanchuk, Catherine Wanner, and Myroslava Tomorug Znayenko, ex officio; Outreach Officer Marta Dyczok; and special thanks to Visnyk Editor Joshua First and our new website coordinator, Oleh Kotsyuba.

After an unplanned one-year hiatus, our newsletter returns to publication during a turbulent time for Ukraine and our field. Recent political changes in Ukraine have been creating a radically different context for


Exciting news from AAUS members, a feature article on Ukrainian film holdings at Harvard, and a comprehensive bibliography can be found in the pages ahead. I hope you enjoy this issue of Visnyk and wish you all continued success over the coming year. Sincerely, Vitaly Chernetsky AAUS President Minutes from the AAUS Meeting in November 2009

Semi-Annual Meeting of the American Association for Ukrainian Studies Thursday, November 12, 2009 Present: over 40 persons in attendance, Vitaly Chernetsky (outgoing Vice President) chairing the meeting. The meeting was held, as customary, during the annual convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies. This year, the meeting and the accompanying Shevchenko Scientific Society reception were hosted by the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. Vitaly Chernetsky, the outgoing Vice President, chaired the meeting, as the outgoing President, Alexandra Hrycak, was unable to attend the convention. Chernetsky opened the meeting by acknowledging that financial difficulties and the slashing of conference travel funds during the current economic crisis have prevented several members of the outgoing AAUS board from attending. He recognized the board members and committee chairs present, Myroslava Znayenko, Robert DeLossa, and Michael Naydan. Chernetsky also recognized the visiting heads of sister Ukrainian Studies Associations and members of the current leadership of the IAUS, Giovanna Brogi (Italy), Marko Pavlyshyn (Australia), Roman Senkus (Canada), and Alois Woldan (Austria) that were in attendance. Chernetsky, who also served as chair of the outgoing Book Prize committee, announced the co-winners of this year’s prize: Sarah D. Phillips, Women’s Social Activism in the New Ukraine (Indiana University Press, 2008) and Timothy Snyder, The Red Prince: The Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke (Basic Books, 2008). As it is customary in the AAUS history, they will now constitute the committee that will select the next prize winner out of the books published in 2009-2010, which will be announced at one of the AAUS meetings in 2011. The Article Prize and Translation Prize have not been awarded, and the decision has been postponed until the AAUS meeting in April 2010 at the ASN convention. On behalf of the Translation Prize committee, Michael Naydan requested the submission of nominees (none were submitted in time for the November 2009 meeting). As the chair of the Auditing Committee, Michael Naydan reported that the organization’s records were in good shape, which allowed the outgoing board to step down. As the members of the Nominating Committee were not able to attend, Robert DeLossa, chair of the Communications Committee, introduced the proposals developed by the Nominating Committee: a) that a new position of Website Coordinator be created, who will also oversee in the future the

Communications Committee;


b) that the following slate of nominees be considered for the board positions: Vitaly Chernetsky for President, Zenon Wasyliw for Vice President, Alexandra Hrycak, Robert Romanchuk, Catherine Wanner, and Myroslava Znayenko for Board Members-at-Large, Adriana Helbig for Secretary-Treasurer, Joshua First for Newsletter Editor, Oleh Kotsyuba for Website Coordinator.

The slate of nominees was approved by acclamation. The elections for other leadership positions and committee memberships are postponed until the April 2010 meeting, with the previous roster continuing to serve in their current positions. On behalf of the Nominating Committee, a request for nominations was issued, which will also be circulated on the AAUS e-mail list. The venue for the meeting on Harvard University campus was adjacent to a photo exhibit on Ukraine organized by Altemus, a nonprofit organization focused on leadership training programs for young people from new democracies and developing countries. The organization’s President, Christine Medycky, informed the meeting attendees of Altemus’s efforts. The information about the photography exhibit on Ukraine is also available online at http://www.altemus.org/2009_programme_photo.htm. The remaining portion of the meeting was devoted to the discussion of the future of the AAUS and the cooperation with its sister national associations and the IAUS. Myroslava Znayenko reported on her meeting with the current President of the IAUS, Hanna Skrypnyk, that took place in May 2009. She also noted that the current IAUS website (http://www.mau-nau.org.ua/index.htm) had been infected with a virus and urged caution while accessing it. Additionally, this website contains outdated and frequently incorrect information on constituent national associations, including the AAUS, which needs to be rectified; simultaneously, the old IAUS website, http://www.mau.org.ua/, not updated since 2005, continues to exist alongside the new one. Roman Senkus, Giovanna Brogi, and Alois Woldan shared their views on the current state of the IAUS and the need for proactive involvement and constructive engagement with the IAUS structures in Ukraine. Woldan suggested that a joint communiqué be drafted, addressed to President Hanna Skrypnyk, Scholarly Secretary Bohdan Duda, and Executive Secretary Ol’ha Iamborko, informing them and the IAUS structures in Kyiv about the results of this meeting. Lubomyr Hajda brought up the possibility of forging more active peer-to-peer contacts between individual national associations and developing bilateral projects. Brogi shared her views on the challenges involved in intra-European cooperation between national Ukrainian Studies associations. The meeting then adjourned and was followed by the reception hosted by the Shevchenko Scientific Society in the US, Inc. Respectfully submitted, Vitaly Chernetsky


Visnyk Feature: The Ukrainian Collection at the Harvard Film Archives

With 70 titles, the Harvard Film Archive holds the largest collection of Ukrainian films outside of Ukraine and Russia. Most of these titles, which include feature films and documentaries alike, are on original 16mm and 35mm prints (with the remainder on open reel video and VHS copies). While interest in Ukrainian and Soviet Ukrainian visual culture is growing within Ukrainian Studies programs and in scholarship on Ukraine, research on Ukrainian cinema remains difficult. First of all, in distinction to Soviet cinema produced in Moscow and contemporary Russian cinema, there were few titles intended for international release and, as such, copies of Ukrainian films are rarely available on the consumer market, or for theatrical release outside of Ukraine. Consequently, our impressions of Ukrainian cinema are relegated typically to the work of Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Sergei Paradzhanov’s Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, and more recently, Oles Sanin’s Mamai. Second of all, moreover, archival facilities in Ukraine that specialize in film are limited both in terms of what they possess and in terms of access for researchers. In fact, owing to the centralization of the Soviet state, the full catalog of the Dovzhenko Film Studio in Kyiv only exists at the Gosfil’mofond in Belye Stolby, Russia, a distant suburb of Moscow. Thus, the Ukrainian Collection at the Harvard Film Archive presents a rare opportunity to American Ukrainian Studies scholars to access both some of the more significant films made at Ukraine’s studios, in addition to several fairly obscure titles. The collection is the result of several decades of effort on the part of the HFA in collecting materials from Ukraine. Most recently, the HFA acquired a significant collection of features and short documentaries from Canadian-Ukrainian Walter Hayduk. Despite the presence of such a resource in the United States, the Ukrainian Collection at the HFA has remained largely unused. In this issue of Visnyk, we feature some of the more interesting items in this collection.

Scholars will probably be most interested in the collection of Ukrainian feature films at the HFA. While most of these items are adaptations of classical or modern Ukrainian literature, drama and opera, they diverge significantly in style and intention. These films include not only such well-known titles from the 1960s as Leonid Osyka’s The Stone Cross (Kaminnyi khrest, 1968) and Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, but also historical-biographical epics such as Tymofii Levchuk’s Ivan Franko (1956) and Viktor Ivanov’s Oleksa Dovbush (1959), and Ivan Kaveleridze’s Stalin-era “film operas” Natalka-Poltavka (1936) and The Zaporozhian beyond the Danube (1937). These latter films not only offer a glimpse into how the Soviet culture industry imagined Ukrainian history and folklore, but also into Ukrainian films intended for mass consumption. The collection of feature films also includes Iurii Illienko’s adaptation of Lesia Ukrainka’s fantasy drama The Forest Song (Lisova pisnia. Mavka, 1980), Iryna Molostova’s operatic adaptation of Shevchenko’s Naimychka (1963), Oleh Fialko’s biopic about the last years of Ukrainian songstress Solomiia

Krushel’nyts’ka, The Return of Butterfly (Povernennia Batterfliai, 1982), Ivan Mykolaichuk’s directorial debut, Vavilon-XX (1980), and Osyka’s 1971 adaptation of Franko’s Zakhar Berkut. Besides these features, the bulk of the Ukrainian Collection at the HFA consists of short documentaries (kinozhurnaly) and newsreels from the first half of the 1980s. While admittedly typical for the Shcherbyts’kyi era of Soviet Ukrainian history, these documentary materials nonetheless demonstrate a continued commitment to represent Ukraine as a distinct space within the Soviet Union. A 1983 documentary, My Ternopil Land (Moia Ternopil’s’ka zemlia), concentrates on the beauty of the Galician landscape even as the film emphasizes in the narrative the advances that occurred in the region owing to the post-war Soviet modernization project. Pointedly, many of the other documentaries feature explorations of Western Ukraine, such as the 1983 L’viv Region (L’vivshchyna), and Soviet Volyn’ (Radians’ka Volyn’, 1984). Others feature ethnographic excursions to


Bukovyna, the land of the Hutsuls and Lemkos. Many of these travel docs feature Canadian-Ukrainian protagonists, who rediscover their native Ukraine. While there is clear evidence that the Soviet Union undertook extensive propaganda campaigns in Canada among the Ukrainian diaspora, and these films were part of such an effort to sanitize the brutalities of the Soviet project, they also might indicate a more complex picture of Soviet nationalities policy. Another series of documentaries feature Soviet Ukrainian cultural figures such as Andrii Malyshko, Maksym Ryl’s’kyi, Ostap Vyshnia, Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Pavlo Tychyna, and Heorhii Maiboroda, in addition to pre-Soviet figures including (of course) the trio of Shevchenko, Franko and Ukrainka, in addition to Iurii Fed’kovych, Vasyl’ Stefanyk and others. A final category of documentary in the HFA Ukrainian Collection is on the Second World War. Most of these titles feature stories about Nazi atrocities in Ukraine, such as the 1943 burning of the village of Kozary in Chernihiv Oblast (1984) and the events at Babyn Iar near Kyiv (1985). One outlier in this category is an odd 1946 Soviet Ukrainian documentary, which celebrates the “reunion” of the Greek

Catholic and Russian Orthodox churches emerging from the Red Army’s liberation of Western Ukraine. This film combines several interconnected themes in this collection: the celebration of West Ukrainian cultural artifacts (including religion!), Ukrainians as unique victims of Nazi oppression, alongside typical tropes of the Soviet “liberation” of Western Ukraine and the unquestioned value of the Soviet modernization project. Clearly, there are many possibilities for original research contained in HFA’s Ukrainian Collection. For information on access to the collection, see http://hcl.harvard.edu/hfa/access.html. While the HFA continues to catalog their collections on the HOLLIS system, many of the titles in the Ukrainian Collection are not there yet.

AAUS Awards for Best Book in the Fields of Ukrainian Studies

Sarah D. Phillips (Associate Professor of Anthropology, Indiana University) Women’s Social Activism in the New Ukraine: Development and the Politics of Differentiation (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2008) In postsocialist Ukraine, with privatization and the scaling back of the social safety net, it is primarily women who have been left as leaders of service- oriented NGOs and mutual aid associations, caring for the marginalized and destitute with little or no support from the Ukrainian state. Sarah D. Phillips follows 11 activists over the course of several years to document the unexpected effects that social activism has produced for women: increasing social inequality and "differentiation" in the form of new cultural criteria for productive citizenship and new definitions of the rights and needs of various categories of citizens.


Timothy Snyder (Professor of History, Yale University) The Red Prince: The Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke (New York: Basic Books, 2008)

From the palaces of the Habsburg Empire to the torture chambers of Stalin's Soviet Union, the extraordinary story of a life suspended between the collapse of the imperial order and the violent emergence of modern Europe. Wilhelm Von Habsburg wore the uniform of the Austrian officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, the simple suit of a Parisian exile, the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, and, every so often, a dress. He could handle a saber, a pistol, a rudder, or a golf club; he handled women by necessity and men for pleasure. He spoke the Italian of his archduchess mother, the German of his archduke father, the English of his British royal friends, the Polish of the country his father wished to rule, and the Ukrainian of the land Wilhelm wished to rule himself. In this exhilarating narrative

history, prize-winning historian Timothy D. Snyder offers an indelible portrait of an aristocrat whose life personifies the wrenching upheavals of the first half of the twentieth century, as the rule of empire gave way to the new politics of nationalism. AAUS Member News Andriy Danylenko ([email protected]) has accepted a tenure-track position of Assistant Professor of Russian and Slavic Linguistics in the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures at Pace University in New York in 2009. In 2008, he was awarded a Eugene and Daymel Shklar Research Fellowship in Ukrainian Studies at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. In 2009, Danylenko was a Foreign Visiting Scholar at the Slavic Research Center (SRC) at the Hokkaido University in Japan. Danylenko is working on a book-length project dealing with the formation of the Ukrainian literary language. During the past few years, he has published extensively on 18th and 19th century Ukrainian literary politics (see bibliography in this issue). Svitlana Krys (Ph.D. Candidate in Slavic Languages and Literatures, University of Alberta,

[email protected]) was awarded the Helen Darcovich Memorial Doctoral Fellowship from the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, in addition to the Margaret Brine Graduate Scholarship from the Canadian Federation of University Women – Edmonton and the Queen Elisabeth II Doctoral Scholarship from the University of Alberta for the academic year of 2009-2010. Recently, Krys has published articles on Gogol (“Allusions to Hoffmann in Gogol’s Ukrainian Horror Stories from the Dikan'ka Collection”) in a special issue of Canadian Slavonic Papers and on Lesia

Ukrainka ("A Comparative Feminist Reading of Lesia Ukrainka's and Henrik Ibsen's Dramas”) in Canadian Review of Comparative Literature during the past two years. Her dissertation focuses on the Gothic imagination in Ukrainian Romanticism. Krys’s other research interests include Ukrainian Realism and Modernism.


Marta Tarnawsky (Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, University of Toronto, [email protected]) has added two new sections to the online version of her Ukrainian Literature in English (ULE): An Annotated Bibliography. This bibliography registers English translations of Ukrainian literature as well as writing in English about Ukrainian literature. It covers books, pamphlets, journals, and collections. The internet version of this bibliography has been reorganized and two additional segments have been added. The first new segment covers the years 1966-1979 and the other is a preliminary partial listing of works after 2000. All of these segments have been installed to a re-organized and re-located web site that is part of the Electronic Library of Ukrainian Literature. The entire bibliography is searchable through a dedicated search tool. Each segment of the bibliography also contains a complete Index with links back to the specific items. The ULE website is located at http://www.utoronto.ca/elul/English/ULE/ where you will find links to each segment of the bibliography as well as the search tool. Each segment of the bibliography is a separate publication. They are not cross-indexed between segments. Only a search in each and all of the segments (such as the dedicated search tool produces) can yield reliable results. Marta Tarnawsky would be grateful for user feedback regarding this web site, particularly for any information about missing or broken links or other errors.

Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute, July-August 2010 Courses offered: Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced Ukrainian Language Jews in Ukraine: Ten Centuries of History and Culture (Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern) 20th Century Ukrainian Literature: Rethinking the Canon (George G. Grabowicz)

Current HURI Fellows Shklar Fellows Ines Garcia de la Puente Garcia will use her fellowship tenure this fall to focus on the topic “From Kyiv to Rome along the Ladoga: Reassessing Trade Routes in Rus´,” a topic that she began researching in 2008 under a postdoctoral fellowship from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science. She aims to shed new light on the traditional interpretation of the “route from the Varangians to the Greeks” as described in the Primary Chronicle. She plans to conduct a linguistic analysis of the description of the route in the chronicle, completing an intratextual analysis of the Primary Chronicle, and then contrasting the linguistic and intratextual analyses within their historical and archeological contexts. Robert Kusnierz will study Poland’s attitude toward the Holodomor and the Great Terror in Ukraine (1932–1938) and how these events influenced Polish-Soviet relations. Iryna Vushko will be researching the topic “Enlightened Absolutism, Imperial Bureaucracy, and Provincial Society: The Austrian Project to Transform Galicia, 1772–1815.” Vushko’s work will analyze the Austrian bureaucratic modernization of Galicia between its annexation by the Habsburg monarchy in 1772 and the final settlements of the Congress of Vienna in 1815. The reforms of Austrian Empire bureaucrats in Galicia were meant to replace Polish institutions with new Austrian ones and to forge political loyalty among the local Poles, Ruthenians, and Jews. Mihaychuk Fellows Rostyslav Melnykiv’s (Associate Professor, Department of Ukrainian Literature, Skovoroda National Pedagogical University, Kharkiv) area of interest is Ukrainian literature of the twentieth century, focusing on the 1920s and 1930s. Melnykiv will spend the spring semester at Harvard looking at the models of “ideal literature” and “ideal fiction” that participants in the literary discussions attempted to define. As Melnykiv observes, the origin of dominant aesthetic ideas, their formation, and further transformation are crucial for understanding the intellectual basis of the literary discussions and processes of the 1920s and on the whole. Tetyana Portnova (Junior Research Fellow, Department of Historiography and the Study of Sources and Archives, Dnipropetrovsk National University) plans to research peasantry and peasant culture in Ukrainian public discourse during the second half of the nineteenth century. She will study the social and cultural reasons behind the peasantry’s emergence, the underlying motives for that emergence, and the significance of societal notions about the peasantry for the community in which they functioned. As part of the study, Portnova plans to place the development of the Ukrainian conception of the peasantry into the broader perspective of the national movements of Central and Eastern Europe.


Harriman Institute, Columbia University (Program in Ukrainian Studies) http://www.harrimaninstitute.org/programs/ukrainian_studies_program.html

Contemporary Ukrainian Literature Series Through the Contemporary Ukrainian Literature Series, launched in January 2008, the Ukrainian Studies Program at the Harriman Institute and the Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, have established a consistent forum in the United States to present the best in contemporary Ukrainian literature. Never before in North America has a series of such length and calibre been devoted to the literature of today’s Ukraine. Organized and conducted by Dr. Mark Andryczyk, the series has provided audiences in New York City and Washington D.C. a chance to attend readings and performances by some of the leading names in Ukrainian literature and to converse with these artists in a rare and intimate setting. Guests of the series in preceding years have included Andrei Kurkov, Marjana Savka, Viktor Neborak, Andriy Bondar and Taras Chubai. The series has also acted as an impetus to gather existing English language translations of contemporary Ukrainian literature and present them to an audience perhaps unaware of such accessibility to contemporary Ukrainian literature. Additionally, it has inspired and showcased new translations. The events in the series have been preserved through video recordings. The series opened during the 2009-10 academic year on October 22, when it hosted the Ukrainian writer perhaps best-known in the world today, Yuriy Andrukhovych. On April 20, the Harriman Institute will host writer Taras Prokhasko as part of the CULS. Visualizing the Holodomor: The Ukrainian Famine-Genocide of 1932-1933 on Film On December 2, 2008, the international conference “Visualizing the Holodomor: The Ukrainian Famine-Genocide of 1932-1933 on Film” was held at Columbia. Organized by the Ukrainian Studies Program of Columbia and co-sponsored by the Harriman Institute and the Department of Slavic Languages, the conference provided a memorable contribution to a series of academic forums around the US and Canada, organized to mark the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Great Famine in Ukraine. The conference offered an innovative approach to the subject by focusing on film and filmmaking as a means to understand the consequences of this tragedy for Ukraine and the world. Dr. Yuri Shevchuk (Dept. of Slavic Languages, Columbia University), Dr. Roman Serbyn (Professor of History, Emeritus, University of Quebec at Montreal), Dr. Crispin Brooks (Archivist of the Shoah Foundation Institution, University of Southern California) and filmmaker Natasha Mikhalchuk presented to standing-room-only audiences during the conference’s various panels. “Visualizing the Holodomor” concluded with the North American premier of the feature documentary The Living (Zhyvi) by Serhiy Bukovsky from Kyiv. Mr. Bukovsky is internationally recognized as one of the foremost documentary filmmakers in Ukraine today and his film elicited a lively discussion from the audience. The Orange Revolution: Five Years Since On November 20, 2009, the Harriman Institute and the Ukrainian Studies Program conducted a conference entitled “The Orange Revolution: Five Years Since. The all-day affair focused on what has changed in Ukraine since the momentous events of November 2004, and what has not. The conference also provided a comparative aspect by offering updates and analyses of other “colored revolutions” that have taken place in the region and by presenting opinions by the area’s leading experts of what political changes can be expected in the near future. The conference, presented on

The articles highlight Antonych's remarkable poetry through the prism of various critical approaches: philosophical, mythological, political, conceptual and metaphorical, as well as close textual analysis. Articles: Michael M.

Kennan Institute, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars March 20-21, 2010 SUSTA 2010 Conference at Boston College The Federation of Ukrainian Student Organizations of America held its annual conference on March 20-21, 2010 at Boston College. The theme of this year's conference was "Ukrainian Youth and Education." The organizers invited distinguished speakers to talk about the educational reforms in Ukraine in the past few years, about the student experience studying in Ukraine, Western Europe, and USA. There were also numerous workshops on student life and the organization. March 25-27, 2010 Conference: New Religious Histories: Rethinking Religion and Secularization in 20th Century Ukraine and Russia Penn State University – Organizer: Catherine Wanner This workshop sought to explore the myriad forms of religious expression and religious practice that occurred in Soviet society in light of the secularist policies of the Soviet state. The goal was to consider how particularities of Soviet secularism, including its periods of intensification and relaxation, shaped the forms religious expressions took in Soviet Russia and Ukraine. Studies of secularization have traditionally focused on the formation of policies, rather than on how those policies were experienced and variably implemented across regions, over time, and in response to perceptions of local religious practice. The edited volume of essays that will emerge from this workshop on the intersection of religious practice and Soviet secularizing policies will complement other historiographies of religiosity in the region as well as studies of how specific denominations and the believers within them adapted to the conditions set in Soviet society.

Ukrainian Studies Bibliography 2007-2010

In past issues of Visnyk, we have included a section on recent publications from AAUS members. Owing to the difficulty in collecting such information that we could legitimately claim is complete, we have decided to print here instead a bibliography of English-language monographs and articles on Ukrainian subject matter published since the last issue of Visnyk. We have omitted TOCs from known Ukrainian journals such as Harvard Ukrainian Studies, Ukrainian Quarterly, Journal of Ukrainian Studies, and the new Holodomor Studies with the thought that such journals are known conduits of Ukrainian scholarship. We hope that this will prove useful for AAUS members. Ukrainian-themed books (in English), 2007-2010 Allina-Pisano, Jessica.
