This identity was represented by the majority of the Ukrainian intellectuals of the Romanticism (first half and middle of the XIXth century), mainly historians. Formation of the Ukrainian national movement as well as modern Ukrainian culture was in process under the conditions of spreading of this very form of civilizational self identification. This determines the actuality of our research. Purpose: The main aim of the paper is to outline the conceptual background of the Slavic identity and to analyze its genesis using the XIXth century Ukrainian historians’ scientific heritage as an example. Results: Slavic identity has been interpreted in the paper as identification of Ukraine and its historical past with the Slavic civilization, which was most often represented in the XIXth century historical texts by the notions Slavic world or Slovianshchyna. It meant to estimate historical and cultural phenomena applying the estimating scale “Slavic-nonslavic”. Anything in the Ukrainian cultural tradition estimated as “nonslavic” was automatically classified as “alien”. The Slavic identity was mainly formed as reaction to Eurocentrism of modern worldview principles. It was also an attempt of the intellectuals to overcome the cultural and civilizational inferiority complex of the Slavs. The intellectual and psychological paradox of the Slavic identity representatives’ was that they failed to completely overcome the Eurocentrism of their own worldview. The explanation of advantages of the Slavic nature was limited by the phrase “We are’nt any worse than Europe”. Being ideologically antieuropean, these intellectuals viewed Europe as a certain pattern or criterion for self estimation. Thus this identity failed to overcome the inferiority complex. Its opponents, the representatives of the European identity, were actively searching for an alternative formula for overcoming this complex. So this formula in the XXth century sounded already as following: “We, the Slavs, also belong to Europe”. The Slavic identity of the Ukrainian intellectuals of “the long XIXth century” as an intellectual and psychological phenomenon hasn’t been adequately studied, understood or popularized so far. Key words: Slavs, Slavic world, identity, historiography, civilization, orthodoxy, Europe.","PeriodicalId":422873,"journal":{"name":"Problems of slavonic studies","volume":"97 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":"124184764","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}

The events of the Serbo-Croatian War (1991–1995) were one of the peak moments of such confrontations in the Yugoslav state. The Serbo-Croatian War is the most favorite topic of Croatian historiography of the entire period of independence. However, the question about the state of the Croatian national minorities during the war was covered only by few researchers. Local researchers actually don't raise the issue of collaborationism in the 1990s. Purpose: to assess the extent of collaboration of Rusyns and Ukrainians with self proclaimed Serbian Krajina, to find out the nature, motives and causes of this phenomenon. Results: The Serbo-Croatian War of 1991–1995 was caused by the disintegration of the SFRY, Croatia's desire to secede from the Federation, and the presence of a large Serb minority on its territory that did not share that desire. Because of military campaigns at the end of 1991, Croatian Serbs completely sepa-rated from Croatia, taking a quarter of its territory under control, and proclaimed the formation of the Republic of Serbian Krajina. It occupied the territory where a large part of the non-Serb population lived. In particular, most of the descendants of immigrants from Ukrainian lands were in a city Vukovar, villages Petrovci and Mikluševci (Eastern Slavonia). The non-Serb population of Serbian Krajina (including Rusyns and Ukrainians) found itself on the path of a “Serbisation” policy of the occupied territories. So an occu-pation regime was established for Rusyns and Ukrainians of this region. Destruction, looting, rape, beatings, damage to the Greek Catholic Churches, “ethnic cleansing”, bru-tal killings of particular families – this is the list of actions of the new government. Territorial Defense headquarters were organized in each settlement occupied by the YPA and insurgent Serbs, which included individual Rusyns and Ukrainians who sympathized with official Belgrade. Due to active collaboration with Serbs, some Rusyns from Mikluševci lived well under Serbian authority. They opened shops, hotels, businesses. Individual Rusyns from Mikluševci, at the behest of local Serbs, tortured fellow villagers and helped to deport them. According to the expelled locals, the hardest thing for them was not to ac-cept the Serbian occupation itself, but the betrayal of their compatriots. There was also a forced collaborationism. Due to the compact location of Ukraini-ans in the border areas between Serbia and Croatia, during the war a large number of Ukrainian men were mobilized to the YPA or the Croatian forces, depending on the place of residence. In 1995, Croatia regained considerable territory during its armed operations. The return of Eastern Slavonia, where most Rusyns and Ukrainians lived, was to be done gradually and unde","PeriodicalId":422873,"journal":{"name":"Problems of slavonic studies","volume":"1 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":"128548048","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}

Bilyk","doi":"10.30970/sls.2021.70.3750","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30970/sls.2021.70.3750","url":null,"abstract":"Background. The article highlights the precedent of complex improvisational modeling of semantics in a prose work. The functionality and practice of its implemen-tation in popular intermediate forms with paratextual involvement, in particular, the phe-nomena of visual discourse are considered. Purpose. The figurative solution corresponding to a separate – complementary – model is contained in the concept of publishing M. Prodanovich's novel \"Red handker-chief made of pure silk\", where in a complementary configuration a combination of in-termediate photographic reproduction of the fresco by Fra Angelico is presented. Results. In the figurative experience, formed in the work of M. Prodanovich's novel “Red handkerchief of pure silk”, improvisation is distinguished, commensurate with the complementary combination of manifestations of intermedia strategy with forms of intertextual relations: in its design, conceptual and purposeful paratextual-intermediate combination, which achieves special significance in empirical terms. A clear precedent testifies to the borderline functionality of paratextuality in its systematic connection with different intermediate variants produced by samples of different types of fine arts. From this definitive position, the nonmonoform system of figurative equiv-alents of different types of comparative strategies, inherent in M. Prodanovich's novel, undoubtedly justifies special attention, where the construction and valence of diverse, commensurate sign systems. The diversity of meaning-making focuses on the modes of supporting humanistic postulates and universal values, which becomes the quintessence for the figurative equivalents of paratextual-intermediate configurations combined in the intermedia-intertextual figurative formula of complementary unity.
