In one of the most compelling analogies of this book, German historian Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk makes the point that academia needs not only the fancy and sophisticated researchers but also the “canal workers”—those willing to descend into the historical cesspools of our societies.

The Un/Executed Renaissance: Ukrainian Soviet Modernism and its Legacies>

Root Сайту — 2022-11-18 00:00:00

Tokarsky sees Ukrainian Soviet modernism as hybrid, rich and decisively heterogeneous. It finds its identity in both the national, the Baroque and the active co-creation of the Soviet project. Tokarsky repeatedly points out the complexity of the interplay between the paradigms introduced in part by the modernity itself, in part by the Soviet culture-in-making, and in part by the desire to re-center itself within the national tradition and the West.

Brothers or Enemies: The Ukrainian National Movement and Russia from the 1840s to the 1870s>

Johannes Remy’s new book is the most exhaustive study of nineteenth-century Ukrainian nation building in the Russian Empire currently available in English. It is also the most original and thoroughly researched monograph on the topic published in the past ten years in any language. As such it is destined to become an indispensable element of university curricula and a reference work for anyone wishing to understand the vicissitudes of Ukrainian experience beyond the twentieth century.
