The publication selected for the work is devoted to the region of the Polish-Ukrainian borderland, the westernmost areas where Ukrainians lived. The problematic and thematic specifi city of the works, primarily the image of the city of Kholm and the region in the Middle Ages, was defi ned. There is noted that the image of the city of Kholm as a princely seat, a capital city, occupies a central place in the plots of published works. This image of the princely capital is one of the main symbols of Ukrainianness, timeliness, belonging to Ukrainian lands. It is observed that chronologically the publications were written in the 1940s , during the stay of the outlined territory in the General Government. Polonization measures of recent years on the eve of the war actualized the problem of the cultural and educational life of Ukrainians, therefore the publishing activity of the Ukrainian Central Committee played an important educational role. It is demonstrated that Sichinsky’s studies was based on the historiographical works of Polish and Russian historians of the 19th century. Attention is drawn to the fact that their vision of the most ancient period of the history of Kholm, depicted by Volodymyr Sichynskyi, contradicts the concepts of Mykola Dashkevych and Mykhailo Hrushevskyi. The explorations of M. Korduba, which are devoted to the medieval period of the history of the Kholm region and Podlasie, are detailed. It is stated, that they are based on a wide range of sources and prove the connections between diff erent regions of the Ukrainian population within the boundaries of the state formations of Kyivan Rus and the Principality of Galicia–Volhynia.\u0000\u0000Key words: «Ukrainian Publishing House», history of the Kholm region, Kholm, the princely capital, Volodymyr Sichinskyi, Semen Liubarskyi, Myron Korduba.","PeriodicalId":112217,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary era","volume":"22 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120845326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He highlights the foundations and evolution of the Sixtiers movement and characterizes its attributive features, emphasizing examples from different parts of Ukraine. The main attention is paid to the study of the role of a nationally conscious personality among the Sixtiers and in a broader sense – in the opposition, anti-regime movement through the prism of the chemists Yulii Tanchuk's activities. The interview with him shows the significance of the samvydav (\"self-publishing\") phenomenon for expanding awareness of the need for radical, revolutionary changes in the socio-political system for state independence of Ukraine, the democratization of society, and the formation of a civilized European community. By the annual unauthorized commemorations of Taras Shevchenko on the anniversaries of his reburial in Ukraine (May 22, 1861), the national genius's greatness was emphasized, and his spiritual consonance with the free-thinking of the 1960s – 1980s. The interview reflects the revival of cultural life and military training of young men in the Western Ukrainian villages during World War II, and gives examples of youth joining the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UIA), recreates the ritual of taking the oath by UIA recruits. Furthermore, it mentions Vasyl Stus's story about the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932–1933, makes public the facts of the Communist regime's punishment of the signatories of the \"Letter 139\" to the USSR leaders in April 1968, emphasizes Yulii Tanchuk's unadvertised contacts with an active member of the Ukrainian human rights movement Oles Shevchenko, clarifies the role of Leonid Seleznenko in the opposition movement, and after the arrest – his incriminating evidence under pressure from the KGB at the trial of Vasyl Stus and his letter of repentance.

Derevinskyi","doi":"10.33402/nd.2023-11-158-165","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33402/nd.2023-11-158-165","url":null,"abstract":"The article examines the peculiarities of liquidation of the information vacuum regarding the events of national history in Ukrainian society, caused by Soviet censorship and propaganda. Therefore, attention is drawn to the important work carried out in this direction by the members of the first Ukrainian public and political organization of the second half of the 1980s – the Ukrainian Helsinki Union. Activists of the UGS created a number of press publications to promote their ideas and raise national consciousness and social activity. One such publication was the newspaper «Voice of Revival» created in 1989 in Kyiv. It has been established that the newspaper’s editorial office focused its activities on providing its readers with up-to-date information that was not published by the official mass media. In the conditions of sending propagandistic ideologues of the Soviet totalitarian regime and the monopoly dominance of its press editions with their multi-million circulations, «Voice of Revival» with its limited circulation nevertheless became an expression of the new Ukrainian free press, which has changed in the information space of Ukraine. This article analyzes the materials published in the newspaper «Voice of Revival» devoted to the activities of the Ukrainian liberation movement in the 1940s and 1950s . It is noted that the newspaper’s columns provided readers with information about one of the most mythologized and demonized periods of the Ukrainian national liberation struggle. Given the totalitarian control of the Soviet regime over the official media, Ukrainian society was deprived of the opportunity to obtain objective information about the resistance movement itself and its leaders and activists. Instead, public opinion was «warmed up» by prepared Soviet false ideological stamps. The conclusion states that the activities of the «Voice of Revival» editorial office in covering the struggle of the Ukrainian armed resistance in the 1940s and 1950s were important for the revival of Ukrainian national memory, the spread of national narratives in society, and the mobilization of Ukrainian citizens to oppose the Soviet totalitarian regime in the new period of the Ukrainian liberation struggle in the late 1980s – early 1990s .\u0000Keywords\u0000«Voice of Revival» newspaper, armed struggle, resistance, OUN, UPA,UGS.","PeriodicalId":112217,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary era","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125499785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It shows, that in the interwar years, the Polish state pursued such a national-educational and religious policy towards the German minority of the region, the result of which was supposed to be the denationalization and assimilation of the German population, given that Protestant pastors made significant efforts both to preserve the national separateness of the Germans of the region and to support continuous spiritual connection with the German culture.\u0000\u0000It confirms that education and culture specifically served as the unifying factors that protected the German colonists of Galicia from assimilation processes and strengthened their connection with the population of Germany. Likewise, it has been established that the Protestant clergy focused their activities on the religious upbringing of children and youth of German nationality, the development of private German-language primary and secondary schools, youth religious societies, and charitable organizations, which became the stronghold of German identity in interwar Galicia. The article reveals that primary private German-language educational institutions, which were attended by about 59.1 % of all German students in the region, operated with the help of the union. Those included two gymnasiums in Lviv and Stanislaviv, as well as the German National University. The author of the article asserts that the pastors’ active participation in the development of private national schooling was partly a response to the obstacles that the Polish authorities placed on the way to the development of German-language educational institutions. It was observed that through the organization of private German-language schools, the pastors tried to raise the level of national and religious consciousness of the devotees to some extent. The author suggests that through active pastoral and educational activities of the union’s clergy, the parishioners were closely connected with the German national culture, which contributed to the preservation of their ethnic identity.\u0000\u0000Keywords\u0000Protestantism, religious communities, German population, Galicia, the Polish state, educational institutions.","PeriodicalId":112217,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary era","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133638620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
