Re-evaluating the study of Orthodoxy in Ukraine
Church union
The Union of Brest of 1595–96 brought many of the hierarchs, clergy, and faithful of the Orthodox Kyiv Metropolitanate into the Catholic Church. Yet from the first, large segments of the church in the Ukrainian and Belarusian lands of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth rejected the Union. This paper poses the question of why there was resistance to the Union by presenting counterfactual premises of what the chances for the Union would have been 3…

Communism and Hunger
Over the past two decades, important studies of the famines in the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China have transformed our understanding of these events and laid the groundwork for the first attempts at comparative analysis. Nevertheless, the great twentieth-century famines caused by state policies remain relatively little studied. We still lack a systematic comparison of their features, at least in part because of the difficulty in …

English-Language Historiography in the Twentieth Century On the Pereiaslav Agreement
Russian Centralism and Ukrainian Autonomy
Russia's expansion into a large multinational empire was accompanied by a drive towards centralism and administrative uniformity. Yet, particularly in the Western borderlands, Russia did accommodate itself to the reality of privileged self-governing areas. The Ukrainian Hetmanate, which came under the tsar's suzerainty in 1654, preserved for over a century its own military, administrative, fiscal, and judicial system. A basic but not well-researc…
Three Works on the Russian Question
Debates about the Russian question, the Russian idea, and the quest for Russian identity have taken on a new importance with the break-up of the Soviet Union. After existing seventy years under internationalist Communism and in a Soviet rather than a Russian state, Russians are searching for their historical roots and reclaiming the imperial past. They do so at a time of shock when 25 million Russians find themselves outside a Russian state and w…
