Omeljan Pritsak and the Intellectual Origins of the Ukrainian "Harvard Miracle"
Konflikt und Dialog
Ukraine-Studien an der Viadrina
The European University Viadrina, Frankfurt/Oder, is expanding its historical Ukrainian studies. The former “Center for Interdisciplinary Polish Studies” has become the “Viadrina Center of Polish and Ukrainian Studies”. Andrii Portnov, who holds the Chair of Entangled History of Ukraine, modifies the classic question “What does it mean to study history and to what end?” He warns against the politically motivated reductionism of post-colonial hist…
Ukrainische Geschichte
For a long time, Ukrainians avant la lettre lived in different empires. Does such a “stateless people” have a national history? Historians of different persuasions such as Mykhailo Hrushevs'kyi, Stepan Tomashivs'kyi, or Viacheslav Lypyns'kyi unreservedly answered this question in the affirmative.

Der Wanderphilosoph
Kilka refleksji o ukraińskiej (i nie tylko) historiografii postsowieckiej
The article aims to summarise the main trends in the development of post-Soviet Ukrainian historiography and to place them within the broader context of contemporary challenges facing the Humanities, including the growing impact of “identity politics”. The author argues for the significance of contextualizing analysis of historiographical debates and supports the crucial importance of preserving academic freedom and open discussion

The use of the word “genocide” as defined by the UN Genocide Convention is a delicate matter. Above all, the question of whether evidence can be provided of the intention of the perpetrators leads to different interpretations. In light of the judgements by the International Courts…

Soviétisation et désoviétisation de l’histoire en Ukraine Aspects institutionnels et méthodologiques
L’historiographie ukrainienne est analysée à travers le prisme des transformations institutionnelles et des évolutions méthodologiques, de l’URSS à l’Ukraine post-soviétique. L’auteur montre les éléments de distinction de l’historiographie de la république d’Ukraine par rapport à la Russie, pendant l’époque soviétique, remettant en question la vision habituelle de la science historique ukrainienne considérée comme une victime du totalitarisme. Av…
