********************************
The Ukrainian and Jewish Artistic and Architectural Milieus of
Lw?w/Lemberg/Lviv: From Ausgleich to the Holocaust
Home ? Conferences & Seminars ? The Ukrainian and Jewish Artistic and
Architectural Milieus of Lw?w/Lemberg/Lviv
International Conference
November 5-7, 2012, Lviv

Deadline for submission: April 1, 2012

The period between Ausgleich and Holocaust (1867?1939) witnessed the
rapid modernization of Galicia, and especially its metropolis,
Lw?w/Lemberg/Lviv. Citizens of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and then
of the Second Polish Republic headed in a diversity of paths leading
from the segregated traditional communities towards the modern
integrated societies. These uneasy political and cultural conditions
presented challenges for every group, and especially for their
creative individuals, the artists.

The conference focuses on artists and architects, who defined
themselves or were defined as Ukrainians and Jews, and thus were the
representatives of the two largest non-dominant groups in Lviv before
World War II. Their modern identities were shaped, in respect or
contrast to, but almost always in the context of the Polish dominance
in the city, and ? from the last third of the nineteenth century ? in
the context of Polish national resurgence. Ukrainian and Jewish
artists were haunted by stereotypical views and self-views, both
similar and dissimilar: while none of them had had any "national art,"
the former were known as indigenous builders and artisans, though
confined to the peasant?s background, the latter as "an artless
people," "isolated in ghetto for centuries." For some artists it was
an existential choice to acknowledge or oppose the stereotypes.
Another artists? challenge was the ubiquitous modernization, reflected
in the diversity of available concepts, whether evolutionist,
"renaissance," or revolutionary. How artists constructed their
artworks, their selves, and their group affiliations in relation to
this changing world and specific urban environment, will be the topics
of the conference.

We invite scholars to present their studies of artistic and
professional strategies within the highly prolific Ukrainian and
Jewish communities of artists and architects. We invite papers
questioning how artists and architects articulated their belonging to
different groups, how this influenced their work and their social
position, how interaction with other artists in the multiethnic
environment of the city have influenced ideas and concepts of art and
its role in society. Moreover, we would like to learn how the social
position and perception of artists and architects varied in different
ethnic communities, and how they changed over time. While individual
papers may only focus on the artistic life and architectural practices
within one community, Ukrainian or Jewish, we aim to bring a
comparative perspective by inviting scholars to discuss narratives and
strategies of these two groups together.

We hope for insights in three chief directions: making and socializing
the art; retaining, constructing, and re-constructing bonds with the
ethnic-religious groups; shaping the cultural elites by non-dominant
groups. We also invite papers dealing with the question of interaction
between the urban environment and artistic milieus. Inquiries into the
role of Lw?w/Lemberg/Lviv, but also perceptions and reflections of the
city by Jewish and Ukrainian artists and architects are thus
especially encouraged.

The conference participants are encouraged to discuss a broad variety
of matters concerning creative individuals and groups, including, but
not limited to:

Emancipation and education: artists, architects, and engineers.
Individual professional activity and career: graphical arts, painting,
sculpture, photograph, decorative art, architecture and engineering;
interaction of arts; religious and secular art; funerary art.
Architectural presence and visibility in the cityscape: representation
of minority in modern city; leaving and retaining the frameworks of
the traditional environment.
Education in traditional arts and crafts. Individual and group
reaction to the numerus clausus restrictions.
Defining and shaping heritage: documentation, preservation, and
promotion of landmarks.
Artistic and professional milieus of a non-dominant group:
professional unions; associations; exhibitions; competitions; art
critics; press.
Supportive communities: welfare and social care, from orphanages to
academic houses and spas.
Art collecting and patronage. Private collectors. Jewish Museum and
National Ukrainian Museum. Libraries.
Circles of identities: local, imperial, national, and universal
identity. Loyalty and nationalism in art.
Relations with the "others": tutorship, co-operation, sympathy,
competition, and separation.
Prejudices in the realm of art, architecture and beyond:
anti-Semitism, ethnic and religious discrimination.
Constructing "national styles": defining Jewish and Ukrainian art and
architecture.
Destiny of Jewish artists and their works in Holocaust. Ukrainian
artists and architects in the wars and under occupations: World Wars I
and II.
Post-Lviv/Lemberg/Lw?w stories: artists and architects outside of Lviv.
Languages of the conference: English and Ukrainian (simultaneous translation).

Abstracts (up to 200 words) of a twenty-minute presentation with a
short CV should be submitted (as an attached MSWord documents) by
April 1, 2012 to Dr. Iryna Matsevko, the Academic Coordinator of the
Center for Urban History at i.matsevko at lvivcenter.org, with

Interview With Vitaliy Haidukevich of TVi Television

InterviewPhilip H. Gordon
Assistant Secretary,??Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs Kyiv, Ukraine
February 6, 2012
________________________________________________________________________

*QUESTION: *[Through Interpreter]. Going back to what former U.S.
Ambassador Steven Pifer said about the idea of a blacklist of Ukrainian
officials, under what conditions would Washington be ready to start
freezing assets of businessmen close to the current administration and
blacklisting Ukrainian senior officials from traveling to the Western
countries, the United States ??? or is such scenario impossible in
principle?

*ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: *Let me tell you how we???re dealing with
this set of challenges. We prefer direct engagement. If we have an issue
to discuss with our friends in Ukraine we will bring it up very directly
and clearly with the top leadership and we???ll talk about it publicly as
well. So on this question of the Tymoshenko case, Secretary Clinton ???
when she met with President Yanukovych ??? raised it. She told him it was
creating a real problem with the perception out there in the international
community of selected prosecution, and that it would be an impediment to
the sort of relationship we would like to build. So we???re for engagement
and clarity in these relationships.

I know Ambassador Pifer and others have talked about things like sanctions
and visa bans. We can be clear about that as well. It is the policy of the
United States to deny visas to those who are guilty of grave violations of
human rights or who have been responsible for measures like arbitrary
detentions.

As you know, in the case of Sergei Magnitsky in Russia - that???s the
context in which this often gets discussed - we have said there are people
who will not be given a visa to the United States. But these are really
two separate issues. That???s not what we???re talking about in Ukraine.
We are having a very frank conversation with our Ukrainian interlocutors
and we???ve said, as I said both privately and publicly, that there???s a
real problem here and to fulfill our relationship we hope that Ukraine is
able to deal with that problem.

*QUESTION: *[Through Interpreter]. What you are trying to appeal to, is to
the statesman-hood perception, what is the state officials supposed to do?
Your argument that when Ukraine will become more democratic there will be,
in the long term, greater economic success for Ukraine. But doesn???t
Washington understand, don???t you figure it out - the people who are
running the country, they are pursuing their own private agenda? Big
business, hit and run, earn more money, invest it. They are not basing
their policy on statesman-hood.

*ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: *What is clear is that the country as a whole
will only develop when it creates a climate that is attractive to foreign
investment and foreign trade. And I think we are vastly under-performing
and Ukraine is vastly under-performing in that regard.

The link between the democracy discussion and the economic discussion is:
I think the Ukrainian people want a government that???s going to be
responsive to the needs of the entire country and not themselves. So by
insisting on free and fair elections and transparent democracy, you give
the people a chance to put in office those who will serve the country as a
whole. If they don???t, then the people have the right to remove them from
power. That???s what a democracy is. In the long run, that???s the way to
ensure that leaders are accountable to their people, are transparent, are
not corrupt, is to have a functioning democracy. Without a functioning
democracy you can have all sorts of things happen by the government with
no accountability. That???s why if leaders are seen to be serving their
own needs or enriching themselves and not the people, the people deserve
the right to choose different leaders.

*QUESTION: *[Through Interpreter]. Is there an understanding in the West -
because there is a concern internally here - that with the very
categorical stand of the West, European Union, that Ukraine should follow
certain procedures, certain requirements, that Kyiv will slip into the
Moscow orbit? And don???t you realize that a reincarnation that may occur
that Putin will get his geopolitical victory here and Ukraine will be
totally under Russian influence? It will be a kind of Russia-lite here,
and it will be lost.

*ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: *We don???t want to see Ukraine lose its
independence and we don???t want to see Ukraine totally in the Russian
orbit, as you describe. But we don???t think Ukraine wants to lose its
independence or to be in anybody???s orbit. We want - first of all, we
have said we want a stronger relationship with Ukraine, we want it to
orient towards Euro-Atlantic institutions, the United States and European
Union. We don???t believe that necessitates a bad relationship with
Russia. We don???t see our own relationship with Russia in zero sum terms.
It???s not a competition for Ukraine.

So we???re not asking Ukraine to reject Russia, but we also don???t want
to see Ukraine be overly dependent on Russia. We???re trying to offer
Ukraine diversity in its relationships and its economic, geopolitical
orientations. Our whole attitude and approach towards European security is
to get beyond this notion of zero sum relationships. But at the same time
I think Ukrainians shouldn???t misunderstand. We are not so motivated by
the specter of a Ukraine under Russian influence that we will sacrifice
our own values and principles in dealing with Ukraine. That???s why when
we say we need to see certain things happen in Ukraine before that
relationship develops, that???s actually the reality. If the result of
that - if Ukraine isn???t, for example, able to move forward with its
relationship with the European Union and it???s more dependent on Russia,
that???s unfortunate from our point of view, but it???s even more
unfortunate for Ukraine.

*QUESTION: *[Through Interpreter]. Imagine the situation that the majority
of the Ukrainian public is for a democratic orientation, which by default
is pro-West, and a narrow circle of power brokers in Ukraine are orienting
toward Russia. Is Washington ready to fight for Ukraine, that it remains
oriented toward democratic societies? Or you will give up on Ukraine and
then Ukraine will appear in the club of failed states?

*ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: *Washington, the United States, we???re
willing, interested, determined to vigorously support democracy in
Ukraine. We think the Ukrainian people want to have free and open
democratic institutions, they want to have a prospering market economy,
they want a relationship with the European Union and ultimately join it,
and they want to have positive relations with the United States. And
that???s why we stand for free and transparent democracy in Ukraine
because if the Ukrainian people have a say we think that???s going to be
the outcome.

Frankly, that???s why I???m here. That???s why Secretary Clinton is
engaged on issues. We want Ukrainians to know that we want to develop this
relationship and it is in their hands and that???s why we will continue to
press vigorously for a fair democracy to develop in this country, because
ultimately I think Ukrainians will be better off and we???ll all be better
off if that orientation continues.

*QUESTION: *[Through Interpreter]. The U.S. has a huge influence on the
IMF: geopolitically, economically as a contributor. Can???t there be made
a connection, in addition to the economic requirements that Ukraine should
meet to get another IMF tranche, a requirement that Ukraine abides by
democratic requirements? Free and fair elections, free and fair democratic
system is in place, will be made a requirement for Ukraine to get another
tranche. That the economic requirements are intertwined with these
democratic institution requirements?

*ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: *I think inevitably they are. The willingness
of the international community in its different forms to support Ukraine
does depend on democracy developments as well as economic ones.

Typically the IMF will focus in on more narrow criteria that are solely in
the economic area, as is appropriate. Those conditions are hard enough to
meet. But I do think that in reality if a country is seen to be violating
its democratic obligations, it becomes more difficult for international
institutions to support them, especially in this climate where there???s a
lot of pressure on funding and a lot of countries that need support. So
even when democracy is not an explicit criterion from the IMF, I think it
is fair to say that the international community will be less enthusiastic
about supporting a country if it???s not upholding its democratic
obligations as well. And certainly those countries outside of the
international institutions will do so. The most important example as we
speak is the European Union which will have a very explicit democracy
criteria for what it has to offer a country like Ukraine and others as
well.

*QUESTION: *[Through Interpreter]. We know you met during your brief visit
with representatives of the government. Are there any meetings with the
opposition planned, and who, and what kind of message are you going to
deliver to the opposition representatives?

*ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: *I said earlier that our messages in private
and public are the same, and they will be the same. I???ve been very frank
in private and in public about what we think on energy, democracy, the
IMF, Tymoshenko and I will say the same thing. So the short answer is yes,
I will meet with civil society representatives. I will later today meet
with civil society representatives and members of the opposition just as I
met with members of the government and my message to them will be
consistent with everything I???ve said in private and public so far in
Kyiv.

*QUESTION: *Thank you.

*ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: *Thank you.

Ukrainian Kilims: Journey of a
Heritage Opens February 12 
 More than 35 kilims from the Museum's permanent
collection, some dating back to the 18th century, will be on view at the
Museum starting this Sunday, February 12, in the exhibition Ukrainian
Kilims: Journey of a Heritage. Ukrainians have practiced kilim
weaving for centuries. Ukrainian kilims are handmade, flat-woven,
tapestry-like rugs in which the design ? stylized floral or geometric
motifs ? is identical on both sides. Made of naturally dyed wool, which
yields rich, soft hues and adds to their beauty and warmth, kilims were
used primarily as decorations for the home: wall hangings and floor and
furniture coverings. They also had a number of traditional uses in wedding
and funeral rites. Ukrainian immigrants to the United States
have donated approximately 200 kilims to the Museum. Some of the kilims in
Ukrainian Kilims: Journey of a Heritage survived war and the
destructive Soviet occupation of Ukraine. They were transported across
borders by Ukrainian refugees determined to preserve their cultural
legacy. Cherished and preserved for years after their arduous journey from
Ukraine, the kilims were eventually entrusted to the Museum's care. A report on Ukrainian Kilims: Journey of a
Heritage appeared in the January 27 issue of The New York
Times ("Antiques on Camera and Behind Every Door / Ukrainian
Weavings," page C31). Ukrainian Kilims: Journey of
a Heritage is accompanied by a booklet authored by Lubow Wolynetz,
curator of the Museum's folk art collection and of the exhibition. The
booklet will be available in the Museum gift shop. The exhibition will be on view through October 21. Image: Kilim from a bride's dowry.

The Ukrainian Museum: 35 Years in
Print Opens February 12 
 Since 1976, the Museum has been mounting exhibitions that
educate and enthrall visitors while introducing them to the broad spectrum
of Ukrainian art and culture. Drop by this exhibit to marvel at the range
of subjects covered over the past 35 years, as seen through the exhibition
catalogues, posters, and other documents that accompanied the Museum's
exhibitions. The Ukrainian Museum: 35 Years in
Print was organized by two of the Museum's trustees, Sophia Hewryk
and Natalia Sonevytsky. The exhibit will be on display through October 21.

Remembering Josyf Slipyj
Thursday, February 23, 7:00 p.m.

Education Foundation (UCEF) to host an evening with Patriarch Josyf's
longtime personal secretary, Rev. Dr. Ivan Dacko. Rev. Dacko's
Ukrainian-language presentation ("My Years with Patriarch
Josyf") will be followed by a question-and-answer session and a
cake-and-coffee reception. Admission is $15 ($10 for students). For

Borys Kosarev: Modernist
Kharkiv, 1915-1931 
Through May 2 
Virtually unknown even in his native land,
the avant-garde artist Borys Kosarev (1897-1994), a survivor of Stalin's
purges in 1930s Ukraine, was a painter, designer, photographer, and
illustrator who worked with some of the pre-eminent creative personalities
of his time. This first-ever exhibition of 82 of his works brings to light
Kosarev's prodigious talent and his deep attachment to Kharkiv, the city
of his birth, death, and long life. The contents of the exhibition
coincide with Kharkiv's time as the capital of Ukraine (1919-1934), the
rise of Constructivism, and the period of Ukrainianization, which brought
with it a brief renaissance of art and culture before being brutally
quashed through a series of purges and long-term repression. more

Christmas bazaar  An annual tradition, the Christmas bazaar
again proved to be one of the Museum's most popular events. The 2011
edition, held on Saturday and Sunday, December 10 and 11, raised more than
$5,000 from the sale of folk art items, Christmas decorations, artwork,
delicious home-baked goods, and much more. Our thanks to all the dedicated
volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the bazaar!


Holiday workshops  Youngsters, students, adults, and entire
families enjoyed the wide range of workshops offered by the Museum this
holiday season. Activities included baking traditional Christmas breads
and preparing a Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner, making Ukrainian Christmas
tree ornaments, and visiting the vertep (Christmas puppet
theater) and then creating Christmas puppets. Be sure to visit our website
to see the Easter-themed workshops being offered this March and April!

Please find attached, "Gorshenin Weekly" Issue #4(73) 06/02/2012. In this

- Despite statements by the Ukrainian president, the Party of Regions is

More than 35
kilims from
the Museum's
permanent
collection,
some dating
back to the
18th century,
will be on
view at the
Museum
starting this
Sunday,
February 12,
in the
exhibition
Ukrainian
Kilims:
Journey of a
Heritage.
 
                                                            
Ukrainians
have practiced
kilim weaving
for centuries.
Ukrainian
kilims are
handmade,
flat-woven,
tapestry-like
rugs in which
the design
&ndash;
stylized
floral or
geometric
motifs &ndash;
is identical
on both sides.
Made of
naturally dyed
wool, which
yields rich,
soft hues and
adds to their
beauty and
warmth, kilims
were used
primarily as
decorations
for the home:
wall hangings
and floor and
furniture
coverings.
They also had
a number of
traditional
uses in
wedding and
funeral rites.

                                                            
Ukrainian
immigrants to
the United
States have
donated
approximately
200 kilims to
the Museum.
Some of the
kilims in
Ukrainian
Kilims:
Journey of a
Heritage
survived war
and the
destructive
Soviet
occupation of
Ukraine. They
were
transported
across borders
by Ukrainian
refugees
determined to
preserve their
cultural
legacy.
Cherished and
preserved for
years after
their arduous
journey from
Ukraine, the
kilims were
eventually
entrusted to
the Museum's
care.  
                                                            
A report on
Ukrainian
Kilims:
Journey of a
Heritage
appeared in
the January 27
issue of
The New
York
Times
("Antiques
on Camera and
Behind Every
Door /
Ukrainian
Weavings,"
page C31).

                                                            
Ukrainian
Kilims:
Journey of a
Heritage
is accompanied
by a booklet
authored by
Lubow
Wolynetz,
curator of the
Museum's folk
art collection
and of the
exhibition.
The booklet
will be
available in
the Museum
gift shop.   

                                                            
The exhibition
will be on
view through
October 21.

Kharkiv,

Virtually
unknown even
in his native
land, the
avant-garde
artist Borys
Kosarev
(1897-1994), a
survivor of
Stalin's
purges in
1930s Ukraine,
was a painter,
designer,
photographer,
and
illustrator
who worked
with some of
the
pre-eminent
creative
personalities
of his time.
This
first-ever
exhibition of
82 of his
works brings
to light
Kosarev's
prodigious
talent and his
deep
attachment to
Kharkiv, the
city of his
birth, death,
and long life.
The contents
of the
exhibition
coincide with
Kharkiv's time
as the capital
of Ukraine
(1919-1934),
the rise of
Constructivism,
and the period
of
Ukrainianization,
which brought
with it a
brief
renaissance of
art and
culture before
being brutally
quashed
through a
series of
purges and
long-term
repression.

delicious
home-baked
goods,
and

Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies fosters culture of philanthropy
13 February 2012 -- The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies has
updated its donor board with ten plates bearing the names of new
donors, each of whom has recently contributed more than $25,000 to the
institute. The board, arranged by donation amounts, now has 73 plates.
It features such major donors as Peter Jacyk, Michael and Daria
Kowalsky, and Peter and Doris Kule, who have donated more than one
million dollars each. The new donors include Canadians from Alberta,
Ontario, and British Columbia, as well as a donor from the United
Kingdom. In the past, donations have been received from Australia,
Germany, New Zealand, Ukraine, and the United States.
"The Ukrainian community is strongly committed to preserving its
identity and developing its achievements that motivate people to
give," notes CIUS director Dr. Zenon Kohut. "Historically, this was
conditioned by a number of reasons, including the need of first
immigrants to organize their community life through churches and
schools in new settlements, then to preserve the Ukrainian language
and culture due to the threat of Russian imperialism in the homeland,
and now to support democratic development in Ukraine and promote
knowledge about its people and culture internationally."
The new donations include a bequest of nearly half a million dollars
from the Bohdan and Natalia Golemba estate (Ontario), which will
provide scholarships for students in law or humanities at the Ivan
Franko National University of Lviv to study or conduct research in
Canada. The new fund will promote the long-established partnership
between the two universities, including the student exchange program.
A retired pediatrician, Dr. Maria Fischer-Slysh of Toronto, donated
$200,000 to sponsor the publication of two volumes of Mykhailo
Hrushevsky's fundamental History of Ukraine-Rus'  in English
translation, a project undertaken by the Peter Jacyk Centre for
Ukrainian Historical Research at CIUS. She has long been known for her
philanthropy, which has benefited scores of educational, religious,
cultural, and social initiatives in Canada and Ukraine, including a
gift of one million dollars to the Ukrainian Catholic University in
Lviv.
Another donation of $50,000 to sponsor the Hrushevsky project was
received from the late John Yaremko, QC, of Toronto. A former member
of the Government of Ontario, Mr. Yaremko was mindful of his roots and
believed in a multicultural Canada free of racism and discrimination.
Parasia Iwanec of St. Catharines (Ontario) has established an
endowment fund in her name and that of her late husband, Dr. Wasyl
Iwanec. This is a tribute to Edmonton and Alberta, where she enjoyed
her career as a painter. She took part in the embellishment of St.
Josaphat's Cathedral (Edmonton) and prepared the catalogue Ukrainian
Churches of Alberta, which features 153 of her works.
Serving as a priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Father Hryhorij
Fil of Redwater, Alberta, has established a fund to support Ukrainian
religious studies.

The establishment of the Alberta Ukrainian Heritage Foundation
Endowment Fund was a collective effort to promote Ukrainian and
Ukrainian-Canadian culture while fostering a greater understanding of
the unique heritage of left-wing Ukrainians in Canada. Among other
projects, the new fund will make it possible to continue the research
and writing of the institute's multi-volume history of Ukrainians in
Canada, as well as to send books to scholarly institutions in Ukraine
studying Canada and the Ukrainian diaspora.
For years, CIUS has been carrying on its scholarly activities through
publications, grants and scholarships, conferences and seminars while
expanding its network of media contacts and donors in many countries.
CIUS development efforts have recently benefited from a generous gift
of $200,000 from the estate of the late Edward Brodacky of London
(England) to support the Hrushevsky translation project. Having fought
in World War II, Mr. Brodacky settled in London, where he taught
French at a grammar school until his retirement.
Meanwhile, major new donations have been received from Toronto
residents Roman Kolisnyk and Zenia Stechishin and from the estates of
Peter Salyga (Winnipeg), Levko and Marika Babij (Toronto), and Mary
Yacyshyn (Mississauga).
CIUS development manager Dr. Mykola Soroka points out that the
institute "remains one of the most visible units at the University of
Alberta in attracting donations that stimulate the university's
scholarly work, support students, and encourage international
collaboration. In view of recent budget cuts, individual and
organizational donations have become crucial to CIUS activities. Many
donors were born in Ukraine and have maintained a lifelong commitment
to their native land. There are also those born in the new land who
feel attached to the Ukrainian community and its culture. They have a
sense of mission to secure Ukrainian studies in Western academia and
preserve the Ukrainian heritage for future generations. It has always
been a priority for CIUS to honor their contribution and respect their
will."
CIUS is grateful for all donations, both large and small. Upcoming
changes at the University of Alberta will, however, affect the
establishment of new endowment funds. Starting with the new fiscal
year that begins on April 1, 2012, the threshold for the establishment
of such funds will be increased from $15,000 to $25,000.

A new global treaty could allow corporations to police everything that
we do on the Internet. Last week 3 million of us successfully pushed
back the US censorship bills -- if we act now, we can get the European
Parliament to bury this new threat to all of us.

Ukraine Struggles To Find Alternatives To Russian Gas

After Moscow?s refusal to cut gas prices for this year, Kyiv has threatened to cut its imports from Russia between 27 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas and 33 bcm from the 40 bcm imported by the national oil and gas company Naftohaz Ukrainy last year (Interfax, January 11; Kommersant-Ukraine, January 24). Last fall, Ukraine?s Energy Minister, Yury Boyko, threatened to cut Russian gas imports to as little as between 7 bcm and 12 bcm per annum within five years. Kyiv has been seeking alternatives to Russian gas. Such alternatives as shale gas extraction, in connection to which the government invited foreign investors to two fields in western and eastern Ukraine, will take many years to launch. Others such as replacing gas with coal in thermal power plants have technological and environmental constraints. The import of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the development of conventional gas fields at home look plausible as alternatives to Russian gas. However, Ukraine is increasingly facing problems in these two directions.

One of President Viktor Yanukovych?s main goals at this year?s World Economic Forum in Davos was to speed up Ukraine?s LNG import project. The government planned to launch the first stage of a new LNG terminal in 2014, to process LNG to be imported by tankers from Azerbaijan and possibly also Qatar. However, not only has construction work not yet started, but no exact site for the terminal has been selected. This may have turned off investors, and the business daily Kommersant-Ukraine reported on January 30, quoting national projects head Vladislav Kaskiv, that Yanukovych failed in Davos to promote interest in the terminal project. Moreover, Ukraine also failed to sign a planned agreement on LNG deliveries with Azerbaijan. The government hoped that Azerbaijan would agree to deliver up to 15 bcm of gas per annum. Yanukovych only said that ?another round of talks? was held with Azerbaijan, that two memoranda would be signed shortly, and that trilateral talks on energy matters were under way between Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Turkey (Interfax-Ukraine, January 26).

Ukrainian newspapers have speculated that Baku delayed the agreement because its close ally Turkey also wants to import more gas from the country, and consequently Azerbaijan may not have enough gas (Zerkalo Nedeli, January 27; Segodnya, January 30). Nezavisimaya Gazeta claimed on January 30 that Azerbaijan decided to punish Ukraine for selling arms to Armenia. According to the newspaper?s source in Ukraine, last summer and fall Baku warned Kyiv against continuing to sell arms to Armenia, but these warnings were ignored.

Ukraine still has untapped resources in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov basin. Naftohaz?s subsidiary, Chornomornaftohaz, has been working in the Black Sea since the early 1980s, but the government preferred to buy relatively cheap Russian gas rather than invest in deep sea drilling. Last year, Naftohaz finally bought two deep drilling rigs for Chornomornaftohaz. The first one should allow Ukraine to extract an additional 1 bcm of gas this year, Boyko estimated (Inter TV, January 20). However, the energy ministry has had to refute ?the accusations of the alleged non-transparency of the tender purchase of [allegedly] overpriced drilling rigs,? saying that the US company Halliburton audited the deal on the first rig and found no violations (Interfax-Ukraine, January 23). Zerkalo Nedeli reported last spring that Chornomornaftohaz would pay $400 million for an oil rig from a British-based intermediary founded by two Latvians, which had acquired it from the Singaporean manufacturer Keppel for just $248.5 million. Moreover, it emerged early this year that the intermediary went into liquidation (Ukrainska Pravda, January 20).

Such allegations of non-transparency will do little to attract Western investors to Ukraine?s Black Sea projects. However, Russia?s Gazprom apparently has not been discouraged. Gazprom, whose share of the local market the Ukrainian government wants to diminish with the help of offshore projects, recently confirmed its intention to join them. Gazprom announced on January 24, that it was about to set up a joint venture with Naftohaz to explore the Pallas field in the Black Sea. Gazprom revealed that an agreement on this was reached with Naftohaz during talks in Moscow on January 18. Gazprom stated that Pallas was the most promising area in the Black Sea, containing up to 121 bcm of recoverable gas, according to calculations by Naftohaz. Gazprom?s experts are scheduled to go to Ukraine in February to discuss details (RIA Novosti, January 24).

However, Ukrainian experts quoted by the daily Kommersant-Ukraine on January 25 were skeptical about Gazprom?s plans, suggesting that Gazprom?s real goal might be to delay Ukraine?s Black Sea exploration projects. Meanwhile, Naftohaz has started talks with Brazil?s Petrobras on joint exploration in the Black Sea, according to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kostyantyn Hryshchenko. He said after visiting Brazil that the two companies were studying where exactly in the Black Sea joint exploration could start. Hryshchenko said it would be too early to speak about terms and conditions at the moment (RIA Novosti, January 24).

Call for Papers: Engaging the Law in Eurasia and Eastern Europe
Application Deadline: May 7, 2012
The Kennan Institute, in partnership with the Russian, East European and Eurasian Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, the Harriman Institute at Columbia University, and the University of Wisconsin Law School, is pleased to announce a new workshop series on ?Engaging the Law in Eurasia and Eastern Europe.?  Law provides the foundation for both market economies and democracies. In the years following the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, there has been a wholesale rewriting of statutes and regulations as part of a reshaping of the institutional environment of these formerly Communist countries.  The extent to which these reforms have taken root has varied.  Each country has its own distinct legal culture, which is in part a product of the societal experience of law during the Communist period.  The social demand for law also has colored the effectiveness of the reformed legal institutions in these countries, such as the bar, the courts, and various administrative agencies.  On some issues, non-governmental organizations and/or individual activists have played a critical role in pressing the state to live up to its legal obligations.
Given the passage of two decades since the disintegration of the Soviet bloc, the time is ripe for an assessment of the role of law in the region.  The workshop series is designed to encourage cross-disciplinary exchanges and will facilitate the creation of a cohesive cohort of young scholars focusing on legal reform in Eurasia and Eastern Europe.  Participants in the series further will explore the ways in which policymakers and practitioners can find mutually beneficial dialogue with academics.
Selection for the workshop series will be based on an open national competition. Participation in the series is limited to U.S. citizens only.  Applicants should be at the post-doctoral level (pre-tenure) or Ph.D. candidates who have completed field research for their dissertations.  For non-academics, an equivalent degree of professional achievement is expected (J.D., MBA, etc.)  Applications will be accepted from any area of social science, humanities, business, or law dealing with the region?s legal evolution, past and present.
This workshop will be led by senior scholars Professor Kathryn Hendley (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Professor Peter Maggs (University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign), and William Pomeranz (Kennan Institute) and will bring together young researchers for a series of online and in-person exchanges, culminating in a final meeting in Washington, D.C.  If accepted, each participant will present a research paper that, during the course of two meetings, will be examined by senior scholars, fellow workshop participants, and outside experts to produce a final article of publishable quality.  All per diem costs and travel support for workshop participants will be covered by the conference organizers.
Interested applicants should submit an abstract (up to 1000 words) of their current research, a one-page bibliography, a current CV, and two letters of recommendation of the scholar to: Engaging the Law in Eurasia and Eastern Europe, 104 International Studies Building, MC-487, 910 S Fifth Street, Champaign IL, 61820-6216. Abstracts and resumes may be sent by email to Alisha Kirchoff (kirchoff at illinois.edu<mailto:kirchoff at illinois.edu>).  Recommendation letters must be sent by mail to the above address, or as a pdf copy of a recommendation letter to Alisha Kirchoff.  All application materials must be in English and be received by May 7, 2012.
When writing your proposal, please keep in mind that the objective of these workshops is to shed new light on the region?s legal transformation and how the law is actually working in individual countries.   Such research theoretically encompasses legal history, the development of judicial institutions, human rights, transnational crime, corruption, commercial law, criminal law, access to courts, the influence of international law on a country or region, and other law-related topics.

The "Engaging the Law in Eurasia and Eastern Europe" Workshop is supported by the Program of Research and Training on Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII), the Department of Education Title VI National Resource Centers Program, and anonymous donors.  For further information, please contact Alisha Kirchoff at 217- 244-4721 (kirchoff at illinois.edu<mailto:kirchoff at illinois.edu>), or Joseph Dresen at 202-691-4245 (Joseph.Dresen at wilsoncenter.org<mailto:Joseph.Dresen at wilsoncenter.org>).

Dear Colleagues and Friends!

 

The link attached may be of interest. It is an article about the current
situation related to education reform in Ukraine.  Much progress has been
accomplished in this area since January 2011.  The Ministry's proposed draft
law on centralization of education was blocked.  Minister Tabachnyk's
proposals were not adopted by Parliament and the government agreed to form a
committee of academics to propose changes to the archaic system. Recently,
Prime Minister Azarov appointed Mykhailo Zhurovsky, Rector of
Kyiv-Polytechnic Institute, a distinguished reform-minded academic, to chair
the committee.  Many of the committee's members are nationally recognized
academics from Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.  Dr. Serhiy Kvit, the Academy's
president also serves on the reform committee. 

 

In January of last year many people thought Tabachnyk's moves would paralyze
higher education. But the opposition worked hard and blocked his attempts.
Kyiv-Mohyla Academy led the way to prevent the Ministry's proposed
legislation.  And it led the way to an open debate and the appointment of a
Committee to conduct open debates and to propose new legislation.    

 

Despite the Ministry of Education's pressure tactics, Kyiv-Mohyla Academy
was supported financially by private donations of alumni and other donors
that enabled it to expand its academic programs.  The same year that the
Ministry attempted to impose central control, the university awarded its
first PhD degree with the participation and recognition of the European
Union. Its School of Law, School of Journalism, Business School, School of
Public Health and others received the highest rankings in Ukraine.  The
university's students and faculty received numerous awards and recognition.
Research work expanded.  The list of accomplishments is long.  During this
controversial period Kyiv-Mohyla Academy introduced many nation-wide reforms
in education, established the Electronic Library of Ukraine project, and
successfully blocked the centralized proposals of Minister Tabachnyk.

 

It is a difficult time in the political landscape of Ukraine, but this is
not the time to retreat or despair.  On the contrary, this is the time to
support and promote more reforms, secure what has been accomplished and
insist on Ukraine's integration into the world community.  Every country
understands that education is the key to the future.  

 

I wish to express much gratitude to everyone for the wide support we
received during this difficult period.  But the struggle is not over. We
will continue to press for reforms, academic freedom and autonomy and we
will not turn back.   We are proud of last year's accomplishments in
education and we are strengthened in spirit knowing  that the ranks of our
friends have increased.

Subject: [Aaus-community-list] [aaus-list] Ukraine's Archaic Education
	System Must Change
Message-ID: <38245bda541551e22b2bac41728f9b11@kmfoundation.com>



 Ukraine?s Archaic Education System Must Change

 G8B0B8 C:@0W=AL:>N
<http://www.kmfoundation.com/news/lt.php?id=YB1UAQ8BVAVOBAgZUwJQBQ%3D%3D>

 The global community is focused on Ukraine?s policies of
centralization of control and the country?s East versus West
divisionary tactics. Education is prime territory for this process.
The drafts of a law on higher education proposed a year ago and again
in December provide a tangible example of conflicting world views.

 Ukraine?s Ministry of Education, Research and Sports, led by
Dmytro Tabachnik, marked the year-end holidays by proposing yet
another draft law on higher education to codify control of the
nation?s universities.

 Days later, two additional draft laws intended to integrate Ukraine
into the European educational systems were registered in Ukraine?s
parliament ? one by Arseniy Yatseniuk and Lesya Orobets, members of
parliament and the Front of Change Party, and another by Yuri
Miroshnichenko, a member of parliament and the representative of
President Viktor Yanukovych. The proposed drafts facilitated more
public and academic discussions on education reform.

 Ministry attempts to pass a Soviet-style law failed last year due to
resounding opposition embodied in student protests, and domestic and
international demands for European standards and transparency. Kyiv
Mohyla Academy, along with leading Ukrainian intellectuals, political
and civic leaders, spoke unapologetically for autonomy and academic
freedom.

 There is general agreement that the country?s archaic system does
not provide for academic freedom, university autonomy, curriculum
choices, Ph.D. programs, transparency in admissions and degree awards,
independence in research, management and administration, and
achievement of higher educational standards. The issue of
certification of degrees must finally be brought into focus as well.

 The absurdity of the ministry?s refusal to certify foreign
academic degrees and credits, even from the best universities in the
world, such as Oxford, Harvard, Stanford, Sorbonne and others makes a
mockery of Ukraine?s entire educational system. And yet, the
ministry continues to promote the current antiquated Soviet relic of
certification known as ?nostrifikatsia.?

 Another serious issue of contention is the still-in-place Soviet
system that artificially divides education and research. Such a system
prevents Ukrainian universities from competing internationally and
blocks any chance to elevate their rankings. This situation persists
because their own government impedes participation in activities and
publications according to international requirements.

 EU criticizes Tabachnyk policies

 Tabachnyk?s recent attempt to receive approval for his proposed
draft law from the European Union?s Commission on Education
backfired. Inna Sovsun, director of the Center for Society Research
and faculty member of Kyiv Mohyla Academy, summarized the EU?s
report in a thoughtful article published on Feb. 3
(education.unian.net/ukr/detail/192128)
<http://www.kmfoundation.com/news/lt.php?id=YB1UAQ8BVAROBAgZUwJQBQ%3D%3D>
. The EU criticized the ministry?s focus on overwhelming central
regulations, lack of innovation and guarantees of institutional
autonomy and academic freedom, and dismissed the government?s
continuous empty rhetoric about ?guaranteeing the quality of
education? as political maneuvering.

 Clash of Ideology, special Interests

 It appears that a clash of ideologies exists within the government
between the president on one hand and the minister of education on the
other.

 In 2010, Yanukovych announced a proclamation outlining his position
on general reforms, including the area of education (Ukaz No 926/2010
of Sep 20, 2010).

 The president instructed the education minister to ?provide real
autonomy to the leading institutions of higher learning as a means to
improve the quality of higher education?? The president repeated
his position throughout the year in the specific sentence: ?The goal
of reforms of the system of education is to raise the level of
competitiveness of Ukrainian education, and the integration of
Ukraine?s education system into a European educational space.?

 Ukraine signed the Bologna Declaration in 2010, a pledge by 29
countries in Europe to reform the structures of their higher education
systems in a convergent way and promised to comply with requirements
for integration of higher education into European educational
standards. To this date, Ukraine has failed to comply with its lawful
obligations. Tabachnik directly usurps this agreement.

 If Yanukovych?s word is true, then Tabachnik?s proposals
directly challenge the stated goals of the president and circumvent
Ukraine?s national interest. Unfortunately, Tabachnikhas become a
lightning rod and continues to foment controversy and confrontation.
When the minister?s agenda abrogates the president?s program with
impunity, it calls into question the president?s role and authority.
Creative manipulation of power, such as this, is counterproductive to
Ukraine?s intellectual and economic prosperity.

 It is well past the time for the government to stop empty rhetoric
on reform. Continued lip service to academic reform, while
implementing a contrary agenda, will bring ridicule, scorn and
ultimately, failure.

 Time to shape future is now

 Genuine steps must be taken now to secure Ukraine?s competitive
position in education and movethe country to join the world community.
It is imperative to Ukraine?s national intereststo raiseacademic
standards and provide opportunities for innovation that lead to
economic prosperity. The price of failure to implement true reforms is
high. Education?s importance to the growth of a vibrant, broad and
robust economy in Ukraine underscores the difference between
fundamental reform and a step backward.

 Ultimately, the forces of change will not be stopped. Change is
essential and it is inevitable. The people of Ukraine chose freedom
and self-determination. The National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy
has been leading the country?s reform in education since its
re-establishment twenty years ago. A new generation of Ukrainians
educated in such an environment testifies to this irreversible change.

 Tabachnik?s policies are doomed to fail. A culture of arrogance,
control, retribution and archaic systems is unsustainable. The choice
is between preparing for the future or being doomed to past failures.
Ukraine?s government has an obligation to protect freedom,
independence and the security of current and future generations. The
time to take a stand and shape Ukraine?s future is ?now.

My regards,

There has been some questioning of whether these pictures are from
Ukrainian villages or, perhaps, Russian ones. That actually does not matter
- it doesn't detract from the underlying issue. This phenomenon is
widespread in Ukraine as well - the vulgarization of the youth. Teenagers
can frequently be seen smoking, drinking, etc. in broad daylight. The
general morale is exceedingly low.

What else is to be expected? Ukrainian society is still sick - it's still
post-Soviet, with everything that implies. The Soviet anomie has been
replaced by the anomie of semi-democratic (today it's closer to
semi-authoritarian) state with vulture capitalist economy, where the
bureaucrats, the oligarchs and organized crime (almost synonymous terms)
amass capital, while the people stay poor. The state does not care the
least bit about the people, including the teenagers, the students, and the
young workers and professionals. Those who have the means, leave. Those who
don't, stay. A few choose to return, because of patriotism, nostalgia and
related feelings. Some are able to make their way, possibly start a small
business or achieve some success in their profession.

Many children grow up without their parents, who break their backs doing
dirty, often illegal, jobs in the EU, sending money back to Ukraine to
support their children (and, usually, their parents who watch after the
grandchildren), while depriving them of paternal love and care. It's just
as Slavko Vakarchuk sings in his song "Fun times have come, brother": "Gold
instead of the father, and instead of the mother - a deaf wall." Moreover,
they grow up in a corrupt society and quickly lose any illusion of fairness
or justice, if they ever had one. In other words, nihilism rules the day.

This is, of course, the worst case scenario. However, even those who do
have parents to bring them up, those who are able to find opportunities to
gain good education and achieve a certain higher level of social scale,
frequently are subject to the same nihilism and anomie. After all, they
also see all the corruption and injustice around them, they see that
anything can be bought and sold, that morality is a useless luxury. So,
deliberately or not, they act to maintain the status quo of widespread
corruption and moral bankruptcy.

I know, this is a very bleak picture. It's not all bad, of course. There
are good families that bring up good children, teaching them to recognize
right from wrong and to live a principled life. Many of these children
manage to be successful, to become leaders, and to make their contribution,
however small, toward changing things for the better. So, not all is lost,
not by a long shot. However, the problems exist and cannot be ignored. Of
course, without changing the government and how the system functions,
making positive changes is bound to be piecemeal and excruciatingly slow.

Welcome or not, those are my comments. And, unfortunately, they reflect the
reality all too well.

Respectfully,
Bohdan Pechenyak.

P.S. The following lyrics somehow seem appropriate to the occasion,
considering that the Soviet perversions have merged with those of
 commercial capitalism and its agents of persuasion:

Flobots - There is a war going on for your mind

There is a war going on for your mind
Media mavens mount surgical strikes
>From Trapper Keeper collages
And online magazine racks

Cover girl cutouts throw up pop-up ads
Infecting victims with silicone shrapnel
Worldwide passenger pigeons deploy paratroopers
Now, it's raining pornography, lovers take shelter

Post-production debutantes
Pursue you in NASCAR chariots
They construct ransom letters from biblical passages
And bleed mascara into the holy water supplies

There is a war going on for your mind
Industry insiders slang test tube babies
To corporate crack heads
They flash logos and blast ghettos

Their embroidered neckties say, "Stop snitchin'"
Conscious rappers and whistleblowers get stitches
Made of acupuncture needles
And marionette strings

There is a war going on for your mind
Professional wrestlers and vice presidents
Want you to believe them
The desert sky is their blue screen
They superimpose explosions, they shout at you

Pay no attention to the men behind the barbed curtain
Nor the craters beneath the draped flags
Those hoods are there for your protection
And meteors these days are the size of corpses

There's a war going on for your mind
We are the insurgents

Subject: [Aaus-community-list] [aaus-list] Books on Ukrainian themes
Message-ID: <4F43AAD50200000F00098212@scutum.ceu.hu>


Dear connoisseur of Ukrainian history and culture, 
 ?I only wish to draw the attention of the esteemed House to the
cultural needs of the Ruthenians, which have hitherto not received
sufficient consideration? That the establishment of a Ruthenian
university in Lemberg is necessary I consider to be proven, and more
than proven: it is self-evident? ? declared bishop Sheptytsky
(Szeptycki) in 1911 at the House of Lords in Vienna. His address is
commented in the latest volume (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/Modernism-2-Representations-of-National-Culture.htm
) of the essential CEU Press undertaking (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/DiscoursesOfCollectiveIdentity.htm ),
presenting texts that shaped national identities in eastern and
south-eastern Europe. (See bibliographic data at bottom.)
What impact did Radio Free Europe and the Voice of America have on
Ukraine (and other parts of eastern Europe)? Besides analysing the
effects of cold war broadcasting (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/Cold-War-Broadcasting.htm ), the
reaction of the communist power is also presented with original
documents. ?Newly declassified materials, including Soviet Politburo
transcripts and the diaries of the Ukrainian leader Petro Shelest, not
only confirm earlier conclusion that there was an important linkage
between the situation in the Ukraine and the developments in
Czechoslovakia, but also demonstrate that Soviet leaders themselves
clearly believed the two situations were linked? On numerous occasions,
Shelest complained to Brezhnev that events in Czechoslovakia were
?causing unsavory phenomena here in Ukraine as well?.? 
Excerpts, relevant to Ukraine, are to be found at the bottom, also from
the seminal CEU Press book on 1989 (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/Masterpieces_of_History.htm ).
Together with twenty-eight more post-communist transition countries,
the political and economic performance of Ukraine is also examined as
part of a search of varieties of transition models (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/OnBalticSloveniaAndAdriaticLithuania.htm
). 
We are proud of the title that offers a multidimensional history (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/LaboratoryofTransnationalHistory.htm
) of cultures, religious denominations, languages, ethical norms, and
historical experience leading up to today?s Ukraine. Another pride is
the monograph on the role of various armed groups (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/HeroesandVillains.htm ) fighting on
the Ukrainian fronts during WWII. Who were heroes, who were villains? 
A forthcoming monograph will present the deeds and vicissitudes of
Jesuit communities (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/NarrativesofAdversity.htm ) on the
peripheries of the Habsburg empire, including in Uzhhorod and Mukacheve;
and their role in the creation of the Uniate (Greek Catholic) Church.
Browsing on from the backlist, the Ukrainian question (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/TheUkrainianQuestion.html ) is
analyzed as handled by the Empire in the 19th century; in the next
century the liquidation of the Greek Catholic (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/Christianity-and-Modernity-in-Eastern-Europe.htm
) Church was the order of the day in western Ukraine; Moulding of
Ukraine ( http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/TheMouldingOfUkraine.html )
discusses the politics of state formation in the 1990s; CEU brought out
the first volume ( http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/OnTheEdge.html )
to discuss east-central Europe and Russia within the context of European
security. And finally, the sovereignty movement of Tatarstan (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/NationLanguageIslam.htm ) is of
interest not just for the few percent of Ukrainians among the
inhabitants of that republic., just as Ukrainians cannot be indifferent
towards Belarusian identity (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/Struggle-over-Identity.htm )
struggle, either. 
CEU Press offers a lot more on the past and present of Ukraine in
comparative and collective volumes: the phenomena of demonology and
witchcraft (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/Friars-Nobles-and-Burghers.htm ) in
the era of early modern Ukraine receive portrayal; 
a description of beliefs of magic among Jews of Carpatho-Russia (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/ChristianDemonology.htm ); 
an essay on the treatment of the Great Famine (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/PastintheMaking.htm ) in
historiography; 
the state-building (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/State-building.htm ) process in
Ukraine, comapred to Lithuania, Belarus, and Russia;
policies, practices and outcomes of privatisation (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/Politics-and-Policies.htm ) in six
former communist countries: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Russia,
Slovenia and Ukraine; 
the absence of public service broadcasting (
http://www.ceupress.com/books/html/Comparative-Media-Systems.htm ) in
the Ukraine.  

The website ( http://www.ceupress.com/index.html ) of the Central
European University Press is worth a visit. Please, download the latest

Excerpts from Masterpieces of History:
Document No. 43: Cable from US Ambassador Jack Matlock to the State
Department, ?The Soviet Union over the Next Four Years?, February 3,
1989
?Indeed, despite all of the changes in Soviet society over the past
several years, the glasnost and the perestroika, only nationalism has
been capable of igniting popular passions. And we just remember that the
Ukraine and Central Asia?areas where, because of population size,
resources and religion, nationalism could represent a major danger to
the Soviet empire?have remained thus far almost eerily quiet, a calm
that neither we nor the Soviet leadership should expect to continue.?
Document No. 53: Transcript of CC CPSU Politburo Session, ?Outcome of
the USSR People?s Deputies Elections?, March 28, 1989
Gorbachev: ?The outcome of the campaign shows us that at all stages?in
the nominations and in voting?the elections went most successfully, with
fewer losses and expenses, where people saw the real fruit of
perestroika. This is the north Caucasus, and the central Chernozem
oblast, Ukraine, and the Altay region.?
Document No. 99: Session of the CC CPSU Politburo, November 9, 1989
Prime Minister Ryzhkov: ?Among them everything is aimed at preparations
for secession. All these discussions with us are just for show, for
buying time. As soon as they win elections, they will adopt a decision
to leave. What should be done? Introduce a common free market among
isolated republics? But that would mean chaos. What we should fear is
not the Baltics, but Russia and Ukraine. I smell an overall collapse.
And then there will be another government, another leadership of the
country, already a different country.?

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*



Contact: Irene Jarosewich, WFUWO UNDPI Representative,
i.jarosewich at gmail.com



*RURAL WOMEN: REALITIES AND INITIATIVES TOWARD EMPOWERMENT*



UNITED NATIONS ? The 56th Session of the Committee on the Status of Women
of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) will convene at
the United Nations headquarters in New York City on February 22. The theme
of this year?s session is ?The empowerment of rural women and their role in
poverty and hunger eradication, development and current challenges?.



According to current UN estimates, approximately 70 percent of the
developing world?s 1.4 billion people living in extreme poverty live in
rural areas. The large disparities in wellbeing that exist between urban
and rural residents throughout the world are a consistent cause of concern.
They affect the opportunities, resources, and services available to women
and girls in rural areas in significant ways.



 In keeping with this year?s theme, the UN representatives from The World
Federation of Ukrainian Women?s Organizations (WFUWO), an NGO in
Consultative Status with Economic and Social Council and accredited by the
UN Department of Public Information (UNDPI), with direction and support
from WFUWO President Mary Szkambara, members of the WFUWO Executive Board
and Editor-in-chief of *Ukrainian Women in the World* Halyna Kowalevych,
organized a panel ?Rural Women: Realities and Initiatives Toward
Empowerment? to be held March 1, 2012, from 2:30pm-4pm at the Salvation
Army Social Justice Building, 221 E. 52nd St. (between 2nd and 3rd
Avenues). Joining the WFUWO in sponsoring this event is the Permanent
Mission of Ukraine, along with the CoNGO NGO Committee on the Family ? NY,
International Council of Women and National Council of Women ? USA.



Marianna Zajac, President of the Ukrainian National Women?s League of
America will moderate the panel, which will include introductory remarks by
H.E. Yuriy A. Sergeyev, Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the United
Nations, followed by three speakers.



First to speak will be Olena Suslova, Ukraine?s candidate to the 23-member
Experts Committee of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination
against Women (CEDAW), as well as Gender Activity Coordinator for the
Parliamentary Development Program of Ukraine. She is Founder and Chair of
the Women's Information Consultative Center in Ukraine.



Irina Klyuchkovska, PhD, is the Director of the International Institute of
Education, Culture and Communications at Ukraine?s Lviv Polytechnic
University. Dr. Klyuchkovska was unable to attend and her presentation,
?The Struggle of Rural Women against Poverty in Contemporary Ukraine? will
be given by Martha Kichorowska Kebalo, PhD.



The third to speak witll be Kathryn Vasilaky, PhD, Vice President of
Research and Strategy at TroopSwap in Washington, DC. Dr. Vasilaky will
speak on the topic ?Developing Female Entrepreneurs in East Africa: An
overview of female skills and competitiveness and the social norms that
shape them?.



A discussion and response to comments will follow the panelists.



UN ground passes are not necessary to attend this event.



According to Nadia Shmigel, WFUWO?s Main Representative with UN(ECOSOC),
?the difficulties that confront women living in rural areas are remarkably
similar worldwide, despite cultural, demographic and other differences.
With the concentration of wealth in modern urban economies, rural women are
impacted profoundly by the lack of resources, compounded by widespread and
prevalent gender inequality. Forums such as CSW allow for the sharing of
experience and information, and ultimately actions, that offer
opportunities for change.?



The World Federation of Ukrainian Women's Organizations (WFUWO) was
established in November 1948 in the United States. Currently the
organization?s headquarters are found in Toronto, Canada. An international
federation of 27 non-profit organizations uniting women of Ukrainian
heritage from 17 countries that span four continents, the WFUWO supports
cultural, educational, humanitarian and social programs, and advocates the
advancement of the status of women, their families and children. WFUWO
upholds the principles of political and religious tolerance, and universal
human rights.

THE OVERWHELMING REALISM OF ?IN DARKNESS?

In Darkness is now playing in Montreal. It may be playing in other cities
as well. I find the review by Timothy Snyder in New Yorker useful and
helpful in understanding the film which uses several languages and can be
somewhat confusing, especially to those who do not have a clear idea about
Lviv under German occupation.

I am a bit puzzled by the Ukrainian used in the film. Would Ukrainians
have used the expression "Bud'mo" as a drinking toast at that time in
Lviv?

Poland and Ukraine during and after World War II in the Records of the
International
Tracing Service Collection

August 6?10, 2012
Washington, DC

Applications due April 13

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Center for Advanced
Holocaust Studies invites applications for the 2012 International Tracing
Service Seminar: Poland and Ukraine during and after World War II in the
Records of the International Tracing Service Collection.

The fifth in a series of programs created to encourage the use of the recently
opened archival holdings of the International Tracing Service (ITS),
this year's
seminar seeks to acquaint doctoral students and faculty specializing in Poland
and Ukraine with the substantial parts of the ITS collection that
relate to these
countries. Applications are welcome from doctoral students and faculty in all
relevant academic disciplines, including history, political science,
literature,
Jewish studies, psychology, sociology, geography, and others.

During the seminar, staff scholars will assist participants in
exploring portions of
the ITS collection relating to Poland and Ukraine. Participants will focus
especially on records concerning (1) forced and slave laborers in the German
war economy; (2) Nazi Germany's expansionist and genocidal policies; and (3)
the postwar experiences of displaced persons and refugees from Poland and
Ukraine. Participants will also have the opportunity to acquaint
themselves with
the Museum's library and archival resources and to explore the ITS collection.

Viktor Yanukovych Two Years On: Why Many Got Him Wrong

February 25 will mark the second anniversary of Viktor Yanukovych?s election, during which attitudes toward him and his administration have hardened. But this was not always the case, and views of Yanukovych can be divided into three groups: to order, na?ve and realistic.

To Order: From 2005, Yanukovych and the Party of Regions hired US political consultant Paul Manafort who had worked on the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush, Bob Dole, George H. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford, and is a senior partner in Davis, Manafort and Freedman consultancy company. In an evident conflict of interests, Rick Davis would have become Senator John McCain?s chief of staff, an ardent supporter of the 2004 Orange Revolution, had the latter won the 2008 US presidential elections.

Two other US lobbyists for Yanukovych were Bruce P. Jackson and Adrian Karatnycky. Jackson, a former military intelligence officer and Vice President of Lockheed Martin is President of the Project on Transitional Democracies (see interview at http://www.day.kiev.ua/303062). Karatnycky, the former President of Freedom House, was President of the pro-Yushchenko Orange Circle until switching sides in 2009. Mykola Knyazhytskly, the CEO of the Ukrainian independent TBi channel, told Jamestown that he believed Karatnycky?s business consultancy for Igor Gusinsky, who with another exiled Russian oligarch Konstantin Kagalovsky founded TBi, led to his cooperation with Serhiy Levochkin, the head of Yanukovych?s presidential administration. Gusinsky and Levochkin are long-term friends.

Karatnycky drew on his position at the Atlantic Council of the United States, where he is Senior Fellow, to organize Yanukovych?s first speech in the US in September 2005, at the New York office of the Atlantic Council (http://www.acus.org/event/president-yanukovych-addresses-atlantic-council/transcript). Yanukovych told the Atlantic Council, ?When the Orange Revolution began, and I heard those pleas, which the leaders of the Orange Revolution addressed the people with, they were very familiar to me, and I liked them,? in what was a clearly pre-written text that had nothing to do with reality (http://en.for-ua.com/news/2010/09/24/125036.html).

Karartnycky has written fifteen op eds in defense of Yanukovych?s record (see list at http://www.acus.org/user/59/track). The majority of the predictions and claims about Yanukovych?s plans and policies never came to fruition (see ?Time for a Reality Check? at http://www.kyivpost.com/news/opinion/op_ed/detail/104145/). Since 2011, Karatnycky and the Myrmidon Group are lobbyists for the Bosnian-Serbian government according to documents registered with the Foreign Agents Registration Act, US Department of Justice (http://www.fara.gov, http://myrmidongrpllc.com).

Na?ve: Naivety came together with Ukraine fatigue in Yushchenko and Tymoshenko. US Embassy cables from Kyiv during the 2010 elections describe Tymoshenko and Yushchenko as ?populist,? while being upbeat about Yanukovych?s economic program in cables entitled ?Yanukovych Acolytes Preach Economic Orthodoxy? (http://wikileaks.org/cable/2009/12/09KYIV2124.html) and ?Presidential Economic Adviser Stresses Need for Reform, Cautions Realism? (http://wikileaks.org/cable/2010/02/10KYIV301.html).

The second US cable strangely describes oligarch Rinat Akhmetov?s think tank as ?widely respected.? Following Yanukovych?s election, the second US cable wrote, ?Her appointment as the First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration shows that (Iryna) Akimova has Yanukovych?s ear and bodes well for the prospect of economic reform.? Two years into Yanukovych?s presidency, Akimova (like Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Tigipko) has little influence, economic reforms are nowhere to be seen and Ukraine?s relationship with the IMF has been frozen for the past year.

The former US Ambassadors to Ukraine Steven Pifer and William Taylor argued until the summer of 2011, that the Yanukovych administration was listening to Western criticism, which it patently was not (http://www.brookings.edu/experts/pifers.aspx). In the last few months, Ambassador Pifer has taken a tougher stance and in testimony in February before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee he said, ?It may be time for US and EU officials to consult as to whether it is appropriate to consider lists of Ukrainian individuals who would be denied visas to visit the United States and EU member states? (http://www.brookings.edu/testimony/2012/0201_ukraine_pifer.aspx).

Other commentators wanted to believe that Yanukovych had ?changed.? Yale University Professor Timothy Snyder believed, like many observers, that Yanukovych would continue to pursue a Kuchma-style multi-vector foreign policy, would not put Ukraine in Russia?s orbit and not abandon pro-European rhetoric (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2010/mar/25/gogol-haunts-the-new-ukraine/?pagination=false). European rhetoric is meaningless if a regime rolls back democracy at home and Ukraine?s relations with the EU are therefore frozen.

Incredibly Snyder, like the US Embassy cables and the Financial Times, believed Tymoshenko was the bigger threat to democracy in Ukraine than Yanukovych. A Financial Times editorial (January 10, 2010) wrote, ?Only a stable Ukraine can achieve economic reform and recovery. Ms. Tymoshenko is the polar opposite of a stabilising force. Mr. Yanukovich [sic], for all his manifest faults, may prove the lesser evil.?

Quoting Karatnycky, Snyder sees Ukraine?s oligarchs as becoming ?economically transparent,? supporting the rule of law and reducing corruption. None of these claims have materialized and the rule of law is in free fall; and corruption, according to Transparency International, is massively on the increase.

Snyder?s belief that Ukraine?s oligarchs may have learned ?not to flaunt money,? did not take into account that ?bling? is central to nouveau riche Ukrainians. Imprisoned former Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko?s purchase of a Californian mansion for $6 million in cash was just under the $6.2 million spent by Ukrainian oligarch Pinchuk to entertain 300 guests at his 50th birthday party in the posh French ski resort of Courchevel on New Year?s eve in December 2011 (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/17/courchevel-host-billionaire-party). Lazarenko?s home cost even less when compared with the $150 million paid by Pinchuk for the world?s most expensive home in London and $220 million paid by Donetsk oligarch Akhmetov for three penthouse apartments in London?s exclusive Knightsbridge.

Realists: the British Guardian reporter Luke Harding, expelled from Russia in 2011 and author of ?The Mafia State,? about Vladimir Putin?s Russia, was told by Yanukovych?s aides in the 2010 elections that he was now a reformed democrat, was passionate about Europe and had learned English. This was reminiscent of Soviet disinformation about former KGB leader and officer, Yuri Andropov, and Putin as ?modernizers? following in the footsteps of Peter the Great.
Harding recalls that such disinformation about Yanukovych ?was repeated in Brussels, London and Washington? (The Guardian, October 11, 2011). Repression of Tymoshenko and others opposition leaders proves he is no different from the election fraudster in 2004, Harding believes (The Wall Street Journal, October 11, 2011).

Ukrainian academics were more doubtful that Yanukovych was a changed man. Kyiv Mohyla Academy Professor, Serhiy Kudelia, observed that Yanukovych is ?a perfectly strategic politician whose power-maximizing instincts led him to the most rational choice available? of imprisoning Tymoshenko and other leaders. Kudelia was referring to the difficulty of group two commentators in understanding Yanukovych and only seeing somebody undertaking ?utterly irrational and suicidal? actions (http://www.gwu.edu/~ieresgwu/assets/docs/ponars/KudeliaOct18.pdf).

Western commentators, with the exception of Jamestown Foundation analysts, fell into the trap of Kremlinology by dividing the Party of Regions into doves and hawks with the former allegedly pro-European and committed to democracy and the rule of law. In reality, Ukraine?s oligarchs have introduced censorship on their television channels, continued to indulge in non-transparent and biased privatizations, ignored abuse of the rule of law and constitution and did not protest at the loss of access to the world?s biggest market through the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with the EU. Western commentators on Ukraine would be wise to heed Aleksandra Kuzhel?s words that ?None of them stole honestly!? (Ukrayinska Pravda, November 30, 2011).

In December 2009, Yanukovych told US Ambassador to Ukraine John F. Tefft that he had five priorities for Ukraine: 1.) economic growth and fighting corruption; 2.) resetting relations with Russia; 3.) improving relations with the EU and finalising the Association Agreement; 4.) developing a constructive relationship with NATO; and 5.) ensuring a close partnership with the US (http://wikileaks.org/cable/2009/12/09KYIV2175.html). None of these five priorities have been fulfilled.

As EU leaders have found out late in the day: do not believe everything Yanukovych (and his cheerleaders) say.

Ukrainian Police Crackdown On Electronic File-Sharing Service
The Ukrainian authorities? decision to close a popular file-sharing service has almost provoked a revolution on the local Internet. Following a crackdown on ex.ua, which is Ukraine?s most popular source of pirated videos and music, hackers flattened government websites ?while the local media and Internet users poured scorn on the government?s clumsy handling of the problem of Internet piracy. The state has had to back down. Ex.ua has resumed its work, although an investigation into its activities is continuing. This shows that it would be difficult for a government technologically retarded and deeply mistrusted by the people to eradicate computer piracy.
Kyiv police closed ex.ua on January 31, after raiding its server rooms and seizing servers with some 6,000 terabytes of information. The interior ministry said it opened a criminal case against ex.ua over copyright violations following complaints from the international software companies Microsoft, Adobe and Graphisoft. The ministry said the company managers could face up to five years in prison. However, ex.ua representatives claimed that they had signed agreements with copyright owners, so there had been no violations (Interfax-Ukraine, UNIAN, January 31).
Microsoft-Ukraine?s representatives denied that they prompted the crackdown on ex.ua, but said that as ex.ua has long been known as a pirate website, Microsoft considered its suspension natural (Interfax-Ukraine, February 1). Ex.ua?s lawyers said it was only Adobe that officially complained about the violations. In particular, five users uploaded pirated copies of Adobe?s programs on the website. The interior ministry said this was only one episode in the fight against computer piracy, as some 600 criminal cases were referred to the courts last year alone (Kommersant-Ukraine, February 3; Interfax-Ukraine, February 4).
However, no previous case had provoked such a wave of indignation on the Ukrainian Internet and in the media as the closure of ex.ua. Its content has been easy to download and was used by everyone from Ukrainian teenagers to intellectuals for years. Also, the crackdown came at a wrong moment. The popularity of the government is very low ahead of the October parliamentary election, as opinion polls demonstrate. It transpires from discussions on Internet forums and social networks that average Ukrainian Internet users, the plurality of whom are educated young professionals, do not accept that ?the bunch of thieves? in power can teach ordinary people that it is wrong to steal intellectual property.
A backlash followed immediately. The websites of the presidential office, the cabinet of ministers, parliament, the central bank, the security service and the ruling Party of Regions were put out by DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks from multiple computers on February 1. Prime Minister Mykola Azarov?s Facebook page was inaccessible on the same day due to spam. The interior ministry?s website suffered most, flattened by DDoS attacks in the evening of February 3 and was not accessible for at least a week. Meanwhile, hackers made available scores of files from the ministry?s server to Internet audiences (Ukrainska Pravda, February 2-5). The website Ukrainska Pravda quoted an anonymous representative of a hacker group on February 2, as claiming that some 500 professionals were taking part in the attack aided by up to 300,000 volunteers. They had no leader and were ?waiting for help from comrades in the US,? the source claimed.
The Ukrainian government had to back down. On February 2, the interior ministry said it recalled its request for the domain registrar to close ex.ua, as there had been ?no sufficient grounds? for the closure. At the same time, the police said the investigation would continue (Interfax-Ukraine, February 2). Ex.ua resumed its work on February 3, although many files were unavailable for downloading. The ministry complained that the sympathies of the media and Internet community were ?on the side of the pirates and criminals,? and admitted that it had not expected such a public outcry (Kommersant-Ukraine, February 3). The crackdown on ex.ua may provoke a wave of anti-Americanism. Channel 5 reported on February 4 that the US had reportedly demanded that ex.ua be shut down during a recent visit to Washington by the Finance Minister, Valery Khoroshkovsky, who tried to secure a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The interior ministry has had to deny reports that ex.ua was closed at the IMF?s request.
The attacks exposed the flaws in the government?s attitude to computer technologies and the Internet in particular. Hackers revealed and the interior ministry grudgingly confirmed that half of the programs used by the ministry were pirated (Kommersant-Ukraine, February 2). This again raised the question of legitimacy of a government that, while quietly using stolen intellectual property, wants to forbid citizens to use the same. The Director of the Cabinet of Ministers? information department, Dmytro Andreyev, admitted that the DDoS attacks were a serious test that forced his department to review the security system used by the government (Interfax-Ukraine, February 2). Tetyana Montyan, a lawyer and public activist, said the government?s websites were so easy to crack because ?money allocated for their protection was simply stolen? (Channel 5, February 3).
Meanwhile, the Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA), which represents US-based copyright industries, has asked the US Trade Representative to consider trade sanctions against Ukraine for inadequate protection of intellectual property rights. The IIPA said the problem did not receive sufficient attention from Ukraine?s government, adding that the government itself has continued to use unlicensed business software. Ukraine, according to the IIPA, has established itself as a ?safe haven for copyright pirates?(www.iipa.com, February 10; Kommersant-Ukraine, February 13).

	School, Moscow 29.7.-5.8.12 (31.3.)

Call for Applications - 7th Changing Europe Summer School

?Central Eastern Europe and the CIS between post-socialist path-dependence, Europeanization and globalization?

National Research University - Higher School of Economics 
& Research Centre for East European Studies (University of Bremen)

Moscow, 29 July ? 05 August 2012

The topic: The Summer School wants to look at the development of those 
countries, which until the end of the 1980s were part of the socialist 
world. Even after more than 20 years since the end of socialism many 
scholars still see a dominance of post-socialist path-dependences in the
political, economic and societal developments of these countries. At 
the same time the Central Eastern European states, which have joined the
EU, have undergone a strong process of Europeanization? and it can be 
argued that the EU in various ways? has also had an impact on 
developments in the post-Soviet countries, most of which are united in 
the CIS. In addition all countries are subjected to a multitude of 
pressures? resulting from the ongoing process of globalization, ranging 
from financial crises to cultural exchanges. 

We invite young academics working on the role of post-socialist path-dependence, 
Europeanization and Globalization in the countries of Central Eastern 
Europe and the former Soviet Union to apply to the 7th Changing Europe 
Summer School.

The Summer School: Each year the Changing Europe Summer School brings together about 20? young academics (i.e. mainly doctoral students from disciplines like sociology, political science, 
economics, social anthropology, law, geography and history) working on 
issues related to countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Participation
in the Summer School gives them a chance to discuss their research 
projects and to become better integrated into the international academic
community. 

The core of the Summer School consists of the 
presentation of doctoral research projects and their discussion with 
senior researchers of international repute in their respective fields. 
In addition, there will be several sessions with experts on funding, 
access to information, publication strategies and policy consulting. The
sessions will be framed by lectures and excursions as well as other 
activities designed to give participants the opportunity to socialize 
and establish contacts. Selected contributions to the Summer School will
be published in an edited volume in English. The participants will be 
invited to join our alumni network. 

Paper proposals: Paper proposals must be based on original doctoral research projects and may 
not exceed 1000 words. They must be drafted in English and must connect 
an empirical question with a theoretical approach and concept in order 
to be accepted. An international review panel will assess the papers for
the conference in an anonymous review process (for more information 
about the reviewers, see www.changing-europe.de). The deadline for receipt of paper proposals is 31 March 2012. Please submit your proposal according to the guidelines at 
www.changing-europe.de. 

Costs: Funding by the organizer covers participation fees and accommodation (double rooms in students? hall of 
residence). Participants will have to cover their travel costs themselves. 

Location: National Research University - Higher School of Economics, Moscow 

Information: More information about the Changing Europe Summer Schools is available at

Message-ID: <C1D472F442BEC84F88A644E77ACA01B76F90BB6C63@FASXCH01.fasmail.priv>

For students requesting financial aid to attend the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute 2012, the deadline to apply is this Friday, March 2.

The program is run jointly by the Harvard University Summer School and the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute (HURI).  The program offers intensive seven weeks of accredited university instruction in Ukrainian studies.  This annual summer session will run from Monday, June 25 through Friday, August 10, 2012.

Beginning Ukrainian (8 units)
Yuri Shevchuk, Lecturer, Department of Slavic Languages, Columbia University
The purpose of the Beginning Ukrainian course is to help students develop elementary proficiency in speaking, reading, listening, and writing in Ukrainian and acquire some basic knowledge of Ukrainian culture, history, geography, and way of life. The course aims to enable students to master Ukrainian pronunciation and grammatical accuracy well enough to be understood by a native speaker of Ukrainian through the use of essential vocabulary related to everyday life. The course uses the recently published textbook, Yuri Shevchuk's Beginner's Ukrainian with Interactive Online Workbook (2011).  This is a FLAS eligible course.

Ukrainian for Reading Knowledge (8 Units)

Volodymyr Dibrova, Preceptor, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, Harvard University

This is an intensive course for students who wish to develop their mastery of the language. Reading selections include annotated articles on contemporary issues in business, economics, politics, and culture. Short written reports and oral presentations will be part of the course. By the end of the course the students will be able to understand a wide range of general interest topics and some special fields of interest, hypothesize, support opinions, and deal with linguistically unfamiliar situations. Classes will be conducted largely in Ukrainian.  This is a FLAS eligible course.
20th Century Ukrainian Literature: Rethinking the Canon (4 Units)

George G. Grabowicz, the Dmytro ?y?evs'kyj Professor of Ukrainian Literature, Harvard
University

This course is a survey of the major writers and works of Ukrainian literature from the 1920s through the present with a special focus on how their reception and evaluation has been reconfigured by Ukraine's independence.  The course will examine among others such movements and developments as modernism, the "executed renaissance" (rozstriljane vidrodzhennja), socialist realism, the literature of dissent and emigration, underground literature and post-modernism through close readings of representative works.  Prerequisites: reading knowledge of Ukrainian or permission of the Instructor.

Contemporary Ukraine: History, Geography, and Political Thought (4 units)
Mykhailo Minakov, Associate Professor, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy
What is it like to live in a new capitalist society after 75 years of socialism?  This course aims to analyze the era of Ukraine's independence by examining individual experiences in a state of conflicting ideologies and value systems.  Through readings and class discussions, students will gain an understanding of the core ideas that were the center of Ukrainian intellectual debates of the last two decades, and the essence of current social and political issues in Ukraine.

To apply, students must be 19 years old or have completed one year of college.  Exceptional high school students may be considered through Harvard's Secondary School Program. Those seeking financial aid must apply by Friday, March 2, 2012. Deadline for Foreign Language and Area Study Program (FLAS) funding is Friday, February 3, 2012.

Further information about the program and the application process is available online:

Dear Colleagues,

Please see the CFP below. The American Literary Translators Association runs excellent annual conferences. However, in the past they often took place at the same time as the AAASS/ASEEES conventions. I am an ALTA member myself, but I haven't been able to attend their conferences because of the scheduling conflict. This fall the two conferences do not overlap, and for those of you interested in literary translation as a practice and/or research topic, this might be an excellent opportunity.

Best wishes,

Vitaly

1. Title of the panel or roundtable.
2. 50-100 word description outlining the focus and nature of the panel.
3. Name and contact information of the panel organizer.
4. Name and contact information of the other members of the panel.
5. If you are open to additional panelists, please state how many; if you have been unable to recruit any panelists but would like to propose a topic, please indicate.

Panels are generally 75 minutes long, and there must be time for general discussion and audience responses (we suggest 20 minutes at least). Each panelist should therefore be allotted 10-15 minutes for his or her presentation, depending on the number of panelists (3-4 is ideal). Panelists should not read papers, but rather prepare talking points and examples from which to deliver an engaging talk.

The deadline for proposals is April 10, 2012. Panelists will be notified of acceptance by May 1st, 2012. Proposals should be sent in the body of an email to Chad W. Post, Conference Organizer, at: chad.post at rochester.edu<mailto:chad.post at rochester.edu>.

I look welcoming you here in Rochester!

Best,
Chad

Subject: Diaspora survey

Dear fellow Ukrainian-American:

We are planning to conduct a simple survey of Ukrainian-Americans in order to compile basic statistics on religious affiliations and attitudes. The
results will be made available to any interested parties, with the understanding that they will not be used for commercial purposes. The survey is
being conducted by the individuals signed below, not by any organization. Civic organizations and other individuals are being invited to help,
however, by furnishing lists of potential respondents.

The survey consists of twelve questions, which should take no more than five minutes to answer. A copy is attached for your information only (please
do not circulate it yet). Responses can be anonymous. Respondents may reply by e-mail by filling in the form in the text and forwarding it to the
e-mail address we will provide, or by filling in, saving, and e-mailing an attachment, to that same address. They may also choose, instead, to print
out the attachment, fill it in by hand, and mail it to us at an address that will be provided. Those who have already responded to this survey will
be asked NOT to do so again. For methodological reasons, the survey is for people of Ukrainian descent only.
Would you be willing to distribute the survey questionnaire to your mailing list? If so, please let us know within one week, and we will send you
another e-mail containing the survey (with brief explanation and instructions) both as text message and attachment. We would ask you to simply
forward this message to the addresses on your mailing list. You may also add a note from you or your organization explaining why you are sending it.
The respondents would be asked to reply, however, NOT to you but to us.
If you agree to help distribute this survey, please let us know how many addresses are on your mailing list. We hope that you will be willing and
able to help us in this collaborative service to the Ukrainian-American community.
Yours respectfully,
Andrew Sorokowski and Roma Hayda

	Bucharest 18.-19.5.12 (30.3.)

Call for Papers: Student Conference:

Redefining the Nation. Ethnicity and Nationhood in Communist and Post-Communist Societies
Department of Political Science, University of Bucharest

May 18-19, 2012

Deadline for submitting the abstract: March 30, 2012
http://fspubconference2012.wordpress.com/

The
 process of continuous definition and institutionalisation of the 
concept of nation is an important dimension of political and social 
realities throughout the world. The phenomenon of nation-building 
permeates multiple areas of politics and everyday life, acquiring 
diverse forms. Laboratories for numerous nation-building projects across
 time, post-communist societies can be said to offer a privileged 
position for observing this protean nature of nationalism.

Far 
from losing its significance, nationalism in Central and Eastern Europe,
 the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia adjusted itself to changing 
circumstances, political regimes and social orders. Arguably 
incommensurable, the nation-building strategies and manifestations of 
nationalism specific to the communist and post-communist periods 
respectively are strongly connected through a burgeoning ?nation-talk?, 
i.e. the permanent usage of nation and ethnicity as key categories of 
social and political practices.

The student conference organized 
by the Department of Political Science, University of Bucharest, in 
collaboration with Universit? Paris 1 - Panth?on Sorbonne, Universit? 
Libre de Bruxelles (CEVIPOL), and the Institute for the Investigation of
 Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile (Bucharest), is 
an invitation to reflect upon the changing nature of nationalism in 
communist and post-communist societies. The last decades have brought 
forth a wide range of mutations from and denials of the traditional 
nation-state-centred nationalism, which in the view of Ernest Gellner 
sought the congruence of cultural and political boundaries. The 
different transborder and substate models of nationalism or the 
long-distance nationalism (Benedict Anderson) facilitated by new 
communication technologies can be seen as indications of these 
developments.

We welcome theoretical or empirical papers addressing the following or related topics:
? communism and nation-building;
? nationalism and transition to democracy;
? memories of past conflict and the politics of reconciliation;
? nationhood and ethnicity in everyday life;
? ethnicised aggression and aggressive ethnicity;
? ethnopolitical settlements, relationship between majorities and minorities;
? transborder nation-building;
? long-distance nationalism, migration and diasporas;
? regional identities and substate nation-building;
? border identities;
? racism, xenophobia;
? human rights and minority rights, group rights, pluralism.
The
 conference is open to both undergraduate (final years) and postgraduate
 students from different fields of social sciences and humanities: 
Political Science, Anthropology, History, Sociology, Economics, etc.
The
 conference will take place at the Political Science Department, 
University of Bucharest: 8, Spiru Haret Street, 010175, Bucharest 
(District 1), Romania.

Applications, in English or French, 
consisting of a paper abstract of 250 words and a short CV (one 
paragraph) must be submitted by 30 March 2012, to: conference at fspub.unibuc.ro. Please mention if partial funding for travel or accommodation costs is needed (currently available funding is very limited).

The
 selected papers should be submitted by May 7th (cca. 20, 000 ? 25, 000 
characters) . The languages of the conference will be English and 
French. However, the final paper can be written in Romanian, English, or
 French.

The conference is part of the activities undertaken by 
the consortium Universit? Libre de Bruxelles ? University of Bucarest ? 
University of Wroclaw ? Babes-Bolyai University, within the framework of
 the common MA program ?? Central and Eastern European Politics and 
Societies ? (http://ceeps.uni.wroc.pl/).

It
 is organized in partnership with? Babes-Bolyai University, European 
Studies Department, Ambassade? de France en Roumanie. Service de 
Coop?ration et d?Action Culturelle, Bucharest; Agence Universitaire de 
la Francophonie, Bucharest, D?l?gation? Wallonie- Bruxelles 
International, Bucharest; The Policy Center for Roma and Minorities, 
Bucharest; Europe Direct CENTRAS, Bucharest? and Political Science
