Under århundradena har området som idag är Ukraina hamnat under inflytande från andra makter som Polen-Litauen, Ryssland och Österrike-Ungern. I Ukraina har det bott många olika folk som mer identifierat sig med sin religiösa identitet och samhällsposition än en tydlig nationell identitet.Sedan självständigheten från Sovjetunionen 1991 har Ukraina utvecklats sig i riktning mot Väst med ambitioner om både EU- och Nato-medlemskap. Men det har varit en gropig väg fylld av ekonomiska kriser, oroligheter och korruption, men också framväxten av ett civilt samhälle. Inget har byggt nationen mer än det yttre trycket från Putin-regimen i Ryssland.I detta avsnitt samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Per Anders Rudling, docent i historia vid Lunds universitet som specialiserat sig på nationalism i Belarus och Ukraina.Ukraina var platsen för den första statsbildningen, Kyivrus, i det som kom att bli det ryska imperiet. Inre stridigheter och mongolernas invasion fick det vidsträckta riket med inflytande från Vita havet till Svarta havet att falla sönder för att senare domineras av Polen-Litauen i väster och Moskvariket i öster. Efter första världskriget utropades ett kortlivat självständigt Ukraina som först ockuperades av centralmakterna för att sedan tvingas bli en republik inom Sovjetunionen.När Sovjetunionen kollapsade i december 1991 valde Ukraina självständighet istället för att bli en federation tillsammans med Ryssland. Det självständiga Ukraina kom att präglas av ekonomiska kriser, politiskt kaos och korruption, men också framväxten av ett civilt samhälle, yttrandefrihet och ett närmande till Väst. Ukrainas självständighet kom aldrig accepterats av Ryssland som stöttat rysslandsvänliga politiker och 2014 annekterade Krim från Ukraina och med hjälp av separatister tog kontroll över rysktalande regioner i Östra Ukraina.Bild: Orangea revolutionen den 22 november 2004 i Kyiv.

Previous governor-generals also awarded him Golden Jubilee and Diamond Jubilee medals in 2002 and 2012. Governor-General Mary Simon has apologized for the appointment to the Order of Canada of Peter Savaryn, a veteran who served in the same Nazi-led Waffen-SS division as Yaroslav Hunka. The statement apologized for the distress his appointment to the Order of Canada may have caused. It said her office is also probing his Jubilee medals, which are awarded to Canadians who have made a significant contribution to the country. “It is with deep regret that we acknowledge that Mr. Peter Savaryn was appointed to the Order of Canada in 1987, and we express our sincere apology to Canadians for any distress or pain his appointment may have caused,” the office said in a statement, adding that it had elapsed on his death in 2017. “The Chancellery is committed to working with Canadians to ensure our honours system is reflective of Canadian values.” Separately, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters Wednesday that senior public servants were looking into publishing the full report of the Deschênes Commission, which examined claims that Canada was playing host to war criminals. “We have made sure that there are top public servants who are looking very carefully into the issue, including digging into the archives, and they're going to make recommendations to the relevant ministers,” the Prime Minister said. Savaryn was a leading Progressive Conservative in Alberta and prominent member of Edmonton's Ukrainian community who championed multiculturalism and played a key role in establishing schools with Ukrainian-language instruction. He also set up the Edmonton branch of the Ukrainian scout group Plast, whose participants included Chrystia Freeland, now Deputy Prime Minister. In a 2013 interview with the newspaper Ukrainian Weekly, Ms. Freeland recalled attending the youth group there. “Plast was a very important part of my life growing up,” she said. “I grew up in a Ukrainian community and was active in Plast.” University of Alberta facing calls to return thousands more in donations connected to Waffen SS veterans https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-university-of-alberta-facing-calls-to-return-thousands-more-in/ The University of Alberta says it is reviewing other donations it has received after returning $30,000 from the family of Yaroslav Hunka The university is facing calls to return hundreds of thousands of dollars in endowments in the names of Ukrainians linked to the Waffen SS. They include an endowment of about $430,000 in the name of Volodymyr Kubijovych, who played a key role in the SS unit's establishment in 1943. Per Anders Rudling, an expert in the Waffen SS Galicia division, who studied at the University of Alberta, said for the sake of “consistency” the university should return other donations from SS veterans to fund Ukrainian studies He said it did not make sense just to return $30,000 from the family of Mr. Hunka, who was a teenager at the time he volunteered to fight with the Waffen SS division, while keeping money from more senior figures. University of Alberta spokesman Michael Brown said last week it has decided to “close the endowment fund that existed in Mr. Hunka's name and return the funds to the donor.” “We are currently reviewing other endowments, and our general naming policies and procedures, including those for endowments, to ensure alignment with our values,” he said in a statement. the university should also return donations in the names of other former Waffen SS veterans, including $50,000 from the family of Levko Babij. His donation was designed to fund the study of 20th-century Ukrainian history, especially during the Second World War. Prof. Rudling said Mr. Babij was a former president of the Ukrainian veterans association. The university also received a $15,000 donation from Roman Kolisnyk, who was an officer with the rank of untersturmführer in the Galicia Waffen SS division, and editor of the journal of the Ukrainian Waffen SS veterans. After the war he settled in Toronto. Established in 2011 by Mr. Kolisnyk, the fund is worth around $100,900 and supports translations and publications of Ukrainian literary works, memoirs and diaries. The university's Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, which their donations helped fund, refers in past newsletters to their service with the SS Galicia division. Veterans of the SS regiment have also held positions at the University of Alberta. They include Peter Savaryn, who became its chancellor. In 1987 Mr. Savaryn is one of around 12 former members of the Nazi-led Waffen-SS Galicia division with endowments, awards and donations in their name at the university, according to Dr. Rudling. The university's Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies has received endowments and donations worth over $1-million from Ukrainians who served in the Waffen-SS Galicia division or who helped set it up, according to research by professor Per Anders Rudling of Lund university, Sweden, an expert on the division. Historical context stuff Mr. Savaryn's obituary in the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian studies newsletter explained how as a 17-year-old he joined the division, after being summoned with his brother by his father “when Hitler's drive to the East faltered in 1943 and the Soviet military began its relentless counter-offensive.” His father told him he was left with two options: “either ‘go to the woods' to join the Ukrainian partisans fighting the Germans Poles and Soviets” or enlist in the Galicia division. In the decades after the Second World War the division's veterans debated whether creation of the formation had been a mistake, whether their idea of breaking from the Germans at the war's end and becoming the core of a Ukrainian army had been a fantasy, and whether they had in fact been a German and not a Ukrainian army, The Galicia division was set up by Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, from Ukrainian volunteers after the German defeat at the battle of Stalingrad, to try to stem the Soviet advance. Soldiers swore an oath to Hitler and the division's newspaper was infused with antisemitic and National Socialist propaganda. An edition days before the soldiers' surrender in 1945 claimed Jews were plundering Ukraine. ‘Disinvitation from École Polytechnique group sent Trudeau government into damage control mode https://nationalpost.com/news/ecole-polytechnique-group-sent-trudeau-into-damage-control Quebec-based anti-gun group declaring it would disinvite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from the annual commemoration of a 1989 mass shooting sent several officials within the Public Safety Ministry into damage-control mode looking for ways to respond, documents released under access-to-information show. The emails reveal that government staffers reacted with concern to news coverage of a March 2021 letter sent to Trudeau The letter and subsequent coverage expressed the group's anger over Bill C-21, which the group described as “lamentable.” In a March 18 French-language article published by Radio-Canada, PolySeSouvient accused Trudeau of “abandoning” and “betraying” victims of Canadian gun violence over the government's announcement of a voluntary “buy back” program for certain firearms, instead of mandatory confiscation, which PolySeSouvient had demanded. The letter to Trudeau from the group, translated from French, had said: “If you continue with this bill, we will never again welcome you alongside us when we mourn the death of our daughters, sisters and friends during the annual commemorations.” Later that year, the Trudeau government adjusted its policy so that its initial voluntary buy back became the mandatory confiscation the group had been demanding. It is in the process of becoming law. That letter and attached fact sheet — claimed that not going all-in on confiscating firearms from licensed owners was a reversal of previous election promises vowing to “initiate a buyback program for all assault weapons,” and blamed Canada's “gun lobby” for fomenting trepidation over supposed failures in New Zealand's firearm confiscations following the 2019 Christchurch shootings in New Zealand. It also refuted criticisms that the confiscation would adversely impact First Nations people, as they would be given a special amnesty of two years to replace their newly banned firearms. “Under a volunteer buyback program, countless fully functional assault weapons would remain in circulation, which could be stolen or used by their owners for violent purposes,” read the letter's attached note. Ontario NDP removes Sarah Jama from caucus after Israel-Hamas comments https://globalnews.ca/news/10042820/ontario-ndp-removes-sarah-jama/ Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles says she has removed rookie legislator Sarah Jama from caucus. Stiles says the member for Hamilton Centre, who has been under fire for comments about the Israel-Hamas conflict, made what Stiles calls “a number of unilateral actions” that have undermined the party's collective work and broken the trust of her colleagues. Jama spoke this morning in the legislature against a motion to censure her for a statement she made on the conflict between Israel and Hamas.She said Premier Doug Ford's government is targeting her to distract from its own scandals, and also said that governments and institutions in Canada are trying to use their voice and weight to silence people who support Palestinians. The Progressive Conservative motion would effectively silence Jama in the legislature and calls on the Speaker not to recognize her in the House until she retracts her original statement and apologizes again.Jama's original statement, on social media, decried “the generations long occupation of Palestine” without mentioning the attack by Hamas militants on Israeli civilians. Poilievre gets international attention for apple-eating viral moment https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-apple-video-1.7003024 China linked to propaganda campaign targeting Trudeau, Poilievre, says Global Affairs https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/china-spamouflage-mps-1.7005066 The Chinese government likely was behind a "spamouflage" disinformation campaign targeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and other MPs in August and September, says Global Affairs Canada. A "spamouflage" campaign is one which uses a network of new or hijacked social media accounts to post propaganda messages across various platforms, such as Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Medium, Reddit, TikTok and LinkedIn. The department's Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM), which was set up to monitor foreign state-sponsored disinformation efforts, said the campaign was "connected to the People's Republic of China" and was meant to curb criticism of the communist regime. According to a report released Monday morning, the propaganda campaign began in August and targeted dozens of MPs from across the political spectrum. An email from GAC officials to the affected MPs said 47 of them from across Canada were targeted. The email advised MPs on how to protect themselves from foreign interference and assured them the campaign did not present a threat to their safety.

Outside of the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex in north Edmonton is a statue of Roman Shukheyvych--a Nazi collaborator who took part in the mass murder of Jews. Local activist Paula Kirman and host Duncan Kinney discuss Shukheyvych's historical legacy with Per Anders Rudling, an expert on the Ukrainian far right.
I don't often have a chance to read books that focus solely on Belarus, which is exactly why I was intrigued by The Rise and Fall of Belarusian Nationalism, 1906-1931 (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2015). Per Anders Rudling‘s study seeks to answer a basic question Why is there today an independent Belarus and how did this state appear? He begins by noting that Belarusian statehood was declared and re-declared no less than six times between 1918 and 1920, despite the fact that Belarusian territory was occupied by Germany during World War I and then divided between the Soviet Union and Poland in 1920. Rudling traces the activities of few hundred intellectuals as they attempted to shape a Belarusian national identity and political state. At the same time, he demonstrates the extent to which the these nationalists cultural and political achievements were dependent on the support of external powers Germany, the Soviet Union and Poland all of whom who saw Belarusian nationalism as a tool for undermining an opposing state. Amanda Jeanne Swain is executive director of the Humanities Commons at the University of California, Irvine. She received her PhD in Russian and East European history at the University of Washington.

Om småbarnsföräldrar med jobb och bostad som väljer krig och terror före lugnt familjeliv. Varför? Och vilket hot utgör krigsresenärerna som återvänder? Dagens Konflikt handlar svenska så kallade ”krigsresenärer” . Vad driver unga män att delta i andras krig? Den frågan ställde sig Sveriges Radios Samar Hadrous efter att hennes kusin stupat i Syrien där han stred i en jihadistgrupp. Hon åkte till Göteborg och fick en intervju med ”Omar”, som vi kallar honom, vars bror var i samma kompisgäng som hennes kusin, och också stupade i Syrien. Inläsare är Goran Faraj. Frilansjournalisten Emma Sofia Dedorson träffade en annan krigsresenär i en svensk småstad. ”Johan”, som vi kallar honom för att han inte vill framträda med sitt riktiga namn, beskriver att han dras till våld och krigssituationer. Det är hans främsta motiv till att bege sig till Konfliktzoner, senast var han i Ukraina där han stred för Azovbataljonen, som använder samma symboler som vissa SS-divisioner under Andra världskriget och framför allt består av personer med högerradikala sympatier. Det är svårt att dra några entydiga slutsatser om motiv, det har blivit väldigt tydligt under vårt arbete med det här programmet, och det är också något som Säkerhetspolisen understryker. Men finns det någonting som personer som ”Ziad” och ”Johan” har gemensamt? Konflikts producent Anja Sahlberg ringde upp Magnus Sandelin, journalist och författare som skrivit mycket om olika extremistgrupper. Gäster i studion är Samar Hadrous, journalist på Sveriges Radios arabiska redaktion, inrikesminister Anders Ygeman (S), Haisam A-Rahman, samordnare mot våldsbejakande extremism vid Göteborgs stad och Per Anders Rudling, docent i historia vid Lunds universitet, med Ukrainas moderna historia som specialitet.
