Yavorsky (1873-1937) was a Carpatho-Russian scholar, social and political activist, son of a Greek Catholic priest. He graduated from Chernivtsi University in 1896. In 1903, he defended his doctoral dissertation “The Life of Peter and Fevronia of Murom as a Monument of Old Russian Narrative Literature” at the University of Vienna under the supervision of Vatroslav Jagic. After returning to Galicia, he taught in Polish gymnasiums. Since school, he participated in the Russian movement of Galicia. For his convictions, Yavorsky was expelled from the Drohobych, Sambir, and Lviv gymnasiums, Lviv and Vienna Universities. He was the leader of the “new generation”, fought with the “Old Rusins” At first, he advocated joint work with UkrainophiLe organizations to educate people and fight for their rights. In 1899, he published Zhivoe Slovo magazine and worked in the GaLician-Russian Matitsa. In the late 1890s, he began to publish his research in Lviv and Russian editions. In 1904, Yavorsky with his family moved to Kyiv, where he taught at the First Kyiv Gymnasium and then became a Privatdozent and Associate Professor at the Imperial University of St. Vladimir. He actively published in Russian academic journals, had several business trips to Galicia, where he collected folklore, searched for and acquired manuscripts to continue his research. With the outbreak of WWI, he headed the Carpatho-Russian Liberation Committee. After the capture of Lviv by Russian troops, Yavorsky became a member of the Russian People's Council. After the retreat of the Russian army from Lviv, he dealt with refugee issues, tried to form a Carpatho-Russian detachment as part of the Russian army. Yavorsky disapproved of the October Revolution. In 1920, he returned to Galicia and Lived in Lviv until 1924, where he participated in the activities of the Russian Movement in Galicia, published the newspaper Prikarpatskaya Rus’, prepared the first volume of The Telerhof Almanac (1924) for publication. In his “social Literary diaries”, he spoke sharply about the Bolshevik coup in Russia and the attempts of the Russian Executive Committee to form a “united front” with Ukrainian organizations. Along with journalism, collections of poems and prose, Yavorsky also published his research. In 1925, Yavorsky and his family moved to Czechoslovakia, where he taught at the Russian Gymnasium in Moravska-Trzebova, then worked at the Russian National University and the Slavic Institute. In Czechoslovakia, he wrote much about Carpathian Rus. He actively published in Uzhhorod and hunted for old manuscripts to introduce them into scholarly discourse. His editions of Local folklore accurately convey the speech of Local Rusins. Yavorsky kept faith in the unity of the Russian people. However, he aLso contributed to Ukrainian media. WhiLe in GaLicia, Yavorsky pubLished in Narnd, the press organ of the Russian-Ukrainian radicaL party.

A nuanced approach to the national policy repertoire of the late imperial Russia allows tracing how similar political actions caused different effects on the western and eastern outskirts of the empire. The Russian majority of the student body formed at the Imperial Tomsk University (further referred to as ITU) in the late 1880s, when the trustee of the West Siberian Educational District Vasily Florinsky proposed to enroll graduates of Orthodox theological seminaries. This method was also used to russianize Warsaw and Yuriev (Derpt) Universities. However, this decision, initiated in relation to ITU, did not meet with unanimity in the ruling circles, since there were planty of radical leftists among the clergy students, who championed an autonomous Little Russian self-consciousness and became activists of the Ukrainian Students Zemlyachestvo during 1909-1910. The admission of seminarians to universities in the western outskirts of the empire, which, unlike Siberia, were never destined to become Russian, had similar consequences. However, the strategic effects of these manipulations differed. It is assumed that the radicalism of ITU students was often exaggerated. The conspiracy interpretations of their activity in historical sources are explained by the atmosphere of distrust and confrontation between the ITU professors, the trustees of the West Siberian Educational District, and the Ministry of National Education. However, the consequences of FLorinsky's project implementation manifested themselves over a long historical distance, when the educated class of Russians, who graduated from ITU, dispersed across Siberia. It was Florinsky's strategic aim, since he believed that the future of Siberia as a “flourishing Russian province” was guaranteed not so much by the mechanical migration of Russians to the east, as by the expanding cultural hegemony of the Russian nation.","PeriodicalId":54120,"journal":{"name":"Rusin","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67581770","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}

In response to the large-scale attack on the church, the population of Moldova was looking for ways and means to meet their religious needs. One of these ways was going into the church underground. The reduction in the number of “official” parishes and registered white clergy revitalized the so-called impostors, who satisfied the religious needs of believers in non-functioning temples or in their own houses. Knowing that, according to the canonical rules, the divine services were possible only if there was an antimension consecrated by the bishop, the representatives of the religious “twenties” actively hid antimensions when parishes were closed to provide them to the “legal” clergy, impostors or the self-appointed for services at the first opportunity. Though the monastic system was eliminated and the number of working parish churches was reduced, the number of religious services remained almost unchanged throughout the period under study, which was possible in some degree due to the activities of the church underground of Moldova, whose participants were both believers and representatives of the local clergy.","PeriodicalId":54120,"journal":{"name":"Rusin","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67580850","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}

Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors became a stylistic and semantic invariant for Parajanov's subsequent films. In fact, it became a manifesto movie. Parajanov found his own thematic language and creative constants, such as rituals, traditions, customs, and sacraments. By focusing on the creative invariants of the lives of different peoples (Hutsuls, Armenians, Turks, Tatars, etc.), Parajanov began to aesthetically conjecture and reveal their inner worlds, customs, and more. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is based on a deep love of Hutsul culture, as well as I. Savchenko's “method” that assumes a direct cognition and absorption of the object-culture, nature, and the sensual world on different communication channels (visual, auditory, olfactory). Based on the deep knowledge of the Hustsul culture, Parajanov works with the world of values, by translating the text into a visual image, as well as fantasizing visual customs. Through the bearer of culture, an elderly woman, he began to look at the world of the Hutsuls and absorb their spirit for the correct reconstruction of the material in the transnational language of beauty and recoding denotative codes into connotative ones. Parajanov's reflection on the film showed the transition from the amorphous cinematic language of socialist realism to the language of auteur cinematography: the rejection of clear plot reproduction, photographic reproduction of everyday life, manners and customs, “notorious canons”, “old habits, and impressions”. The emergence of the author's cinematic language made his conflict with the Soviet cinematic system and nomendaturai “elite” even clearer. This is evidenced by the fact that Parajanov still had to defend his position and argue against dubbing his film, since in that case, the viewer would lose the authentic auditory world of the Hutsuls.","PeriodicalId":54120,"journal":{"name":"Rusin","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67581058","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 first Sokol was founded at the turn of 1862 in Prague and followed the model of the German “Turnvereins”, combining nationalism with physical exercises. Analysing the print media that played a vital role in Czech nationalist culture, the author shows that Czech nationalists constantly sought to emphasize their belonging to the Slavs through verbal, visual, and musical representaions. Among the main principles of Czech nationalist thinking was totalism, which meant conceiving the nation as the highest value. Putting Czech national interests over everything else led Czech nationalists to take the idea of Slavic reciprocity as their subsidiary identity used as an instrument to define and achieve their goals. One of the manifestations of this approach was the Czech commitment to the concept of Austro-Slavism - the cooperation of Slavic nations to make the policy of the Habsburg monarchy serve their joint interests. This concept can be associated with the stable interest in the issues of Galician Poles, Slovenes, and Croats. The attention of Czech nationalists to the rest of the Slavs had a wave-like character. During the period under study, such waves were caused by one of the regular Montenegrin-Turkish military conflicts in 1862 (the popularity of the so-called Junak or heroic discourse), the January Uprising in 1863 (PoLonophiLia and Russophobia) and the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, which made Czech nationalists seek the external support (Russophilia). These trends have influenced the formation of the Sokol culture and the activities of the Sokol societies.","PeriodicalId":54120,"journal":{"name":"Rusin","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67581466","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 leaders of the organization, who supported the anti-Bolshevik movement, set the task of informing the population of Russia and the leadership of the Entente countries and the USA about their intentions. They attempted to influence the decision-making process related to the future fate of the Carpathian lands by the participants of the Peace Conference in Paris. One of these attempts was to send to the USA and Europe a delegation of three representatives -Semyon Bendasyuk (1877-1965), Mikhail Sokhotzky (1878-1962), and Ilya Tziorogh (1880-1942). This article aims at reconstructing the course of the mission and assessing its consequences, which will allow highlighting an understudied episodes of the international activities of the Central Carpatho-Russian Council and detailing the biographies of the delegation participants. The main source for the study was the correspondence between employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian government, Admiral Alexander Kolchak and members of the Central Carpatho-Russian Council from the funds of the State Archive of the Russian Federation. The author concludes that the mission of the Carpatho-Russian delegates failed due to a complex of reasons related to the course of the trip itself as well as the international situation. Struggling through financial and transportation difficulties, the Carpatho-Russians also turned out to be dependent on factors that they could not influence - the results of the Civil War in Russia and the decisions of the Entente countries and the United States.","PeriodicalId":54120,"journal":{"name":"Rusin","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67581865","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 authors take the tragic fate of Grigory Georgievich Mokriy (1894-1920) as an illustrative example. In his life, Mokriy twice alternately combined the activities of a psalmist of the Greek Catholic and later Orthodox churches with military service in the Austro-Hungarian and White armies and a short-term participation in the antiBolshevik underground. The authors connect draw on a complex of unpublished sources, which is part of the archival criminal case initiated by the Omsk GubChK against Mokriy, as well as on church records, press materials, and memoirs. The research metholodgy involves the anthrological approach, problem-chronological, historical-comparative, and biographical methods. This theoretical combination made it possible to interpret Mokriy's behavior during the social cataclysms in the most detailed way, linking the biographical facts with the specific historical situation and personalities, with whom he was directly or indirectly connected. The authors conclude that the conservative-patriarchal mentality, based on the national-religious idea of the Rusins about their belonging to the Russian world, prevented Mokriy from fulfilling himself under the Bolsheviks.

Those who migrated to predominantly Russian and Jewish cities adopted the Russian language of communication and all-Russian culture, gradually modifying their Ukranian identity. This natural process could not be stopped by the policy of supporting the Ukrainian language and culture, officially pursued in Soviet times. The trends were also strengthened by the arrival of Russian specialists and workers to the industrial facilities in Ukraine and the departure of Ukrainian specialists to other republics.
