L'ucrainistica è una disciplina giovane, per molti aspetti ancora in via di formazione in Italia e in Europa occidentale. Essa ha acquistato attualità negli ultimi anni, ossia da quando esiste uno stato ucraino indipendente che ha celebrato nel 2001 il decennale della sua nascita. Una parte degli studi qui raccolti contiene informazioni essenziali e riflessioni sullo sviluppo dell'ucrainistica in alcuni paesi europei, anche in relazione alla situazione politica e allo sviluppo culturale di questi ultimi: la Francia del primo dopoguerra, la Germania fra le due guerre, l'Italia, la Slovacchia, la Polonia. A un pubblico anche non specialistico sono rivolti gli studi scritti in inglese e in italiano, che offrono analisi letterarie e informazioni su alcuni autori di rilievo della letteratura ucraina e sui rapporti della cultura ucraina con la Russia da una parte, con la tradizione classica e con quella europea dall'altra. Il volume contiene una bibliografia ampia e aggiornata sugli studi ucraini in Italia nell'ultimo decennio.

Unmaking Imperial Russia examines Hrushevsky's construction of a new historical paradigm that brought about the nationalization of the Ukrainian past and established Ukrainian history as a separate field of study.

Jabotinsky was one of the first Jewish leaders who grasped the significance of the Ukrainian national problem and sympathized with the Ukrainian national movement. His pro-Ukrainian stance, however, was put to a hard test following the anti-Jewish excesses of Petlyura's army in 1919, including the Proskurov pogrom. Despite that, Jabotinsky remained a supporter of Ukrainian-Jewish reconciliation. In 1921 he concluded an agreement with Petlyura's government-in-exile, providing for the organization of a Jewish gendarmerie able to prevent pogroms in the event of a military invasion of Soviet Ukraine planned by Petlyura for 1922. Dwells on Jewish and Ukrainian reactions worldwide to the murder of Petlyura by Schwarzbard in 1926 in Paris. The independent Ukrainian press declared Schwarzbard a Soviet agent; the majority of the Jewish leaders and press regarded the Schwarzbard trial as a trial against the antisemitic Ukrainian nation. Only a fraction of both national leaderships preserved moderate attitudes. Jabotinsky held Petlyura responsible for the pogroms, and saw his murder as an act of symbolic revenge. Nevertheless, he advocated distinguishing between the Ukrainian national movement and pogromists. The mainstream Jewish press criticized Jabotinsky for his "dialogue with pogromists".

Historian, educator, and author Mykola Kostomarov was a leading figure in the Ukrainian national awakening of the nineteenth century, and played an important role in the cultural life of Russia as well. As an ethnographer, he sought to uncover the `mysterious soul? of the Ukrainian people, and his poetry contributed to the development of a Ukrainian literary language. An outspoken proponent of social and national emancipation, he was imprisoned and exiled for his role in the Cyril-Methodian Brotherhood, which worked towards a Ukrainian national renaissance and a pan-Slavic federalism. In Russia, he led the `populist? school, which shifted the focus of history away from the realm of tsars and princes, and argued the centrality of `the people? to their own story. This first English-language biography of Kostomarov - and first large-scale study of the subject in any language - offers a compelling account of his original and controversial scholarship, and his role in the cultural politics of his day. Prymak brings to light a legacy long buried by the censoring mechanisms of both Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Empire. Claimed by both Ukraine and Russia as a major historian, Kostomarov's biography provides insight into the complex question of inter-ethnic and international relations in Eastern Europe and in the former Russian and Soviet empires.

This book examines some of the important linguistic changes that have taken place in Eastern Europe since 1991. Most of the papers deal with Russia, which has undergone a particularly complex process of re-adjustment. Though it is early to draw definitive conclusions, the contributions provide a preliminary understanding of the new language situation of post-Soviet Russia. Of the remaining papers one compares Russian, Ukrainian, one examines Komi-Permiak, while one looks more generally at language and society.
