Russia and Ukraine have alternative histories and alternative destinies. After the Soviet Union collapsed - depending on who you spoke to – they were either a single people artificially divided and destined for reunification, or one nation with a distinct history, culture, and language serially repressed by a dominant neighbour. In Russia and Ukraine: Entangled Histories, Diverging States (Polity, 2023), Maria Popova and Oxana Shevel argue that: "The root of the difficult Russia–Ukraine relationship is the misaligned understanding of Soviet dissolution – as the end of common statehood or as its reinvention". Maria Popova is a Jean Monnet Chair and Associate Professor of Political Science at McGill University in Montreal. Oxana Shevel is an Associate Professor of comparative politics at the Department of Political Science at Tufts University in Massachusetts. *The authors' own book recommendations are: [Popova] Europe Undivided: Democracy, Leverage, and Integration After Communism by Milada Anna Vachudova (OUP Oxford, 2005) and Courage and Fear by Ola Hnatiuk - translated by Ewa Siwak - (Academic Studies Press, 2019) and [Shevel] Nations and Nationalism by Ernest Gellner (Wiley-Blackwell, 2006) and In Isolation: Dispatches from Occupied Donbas by Stanislav Aseyev - translated by Lidia Wolanskyj - (Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, 2022).

Even for avid supporters of Ukraine, like me, Ukrainian literature remains and undiscovered country. Today I'm speaking with Maria Shuvalova who can guide on a journey of discovery, to engage with Ukrainian culture and identity. Ukrainian literature has a strong tradition of folk tales and oral poetry, and it has been influenced by the country's complex political and cultural history, including periods of colonization and national struggle. Russian literature, on the other hand, has been shaped by its own distinct history, including periods of imperial expansion and revolutionary upheaval. Ukrainian writers were persecuted in the 1920s during the period of Soviet rule in Ukraine, as part of a process to suppress Ukrainian national identity and culture and replace it with a new Soviet identity; literature was a key tool for this, as it is also for Russia today. Maria Shuvalova is a Doctoral Candidate at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy. In 2019-2020 she was a Fulbright Scholar at Columbia University in New York. Her major fields of specialization are comparative literature and contemporary Ukrainian Literature, and minor fields are Identity and Memory Studies and Translation. She is also prominent in the media on topics of Ukrainian culture, and talks eloquently about Russian cultural colonialism, and the efforts to decolonise literature and Ukrainian studies. ~~~~~ LINKS: Mariia Shuvalova, First Go Novels That Go Tanks in Russia's War in Ukraine 2022 Personal Experiences of Ukrainian Scholars https://cup.columbia.edu/book/russias-war-in-ukraine-2022/9783838217574 An Excerpt From Sergei Loiko's ‘Airport' https://odessareview.com/excerpt-sergei-loikos-airport/ Apricots of Donbas by Liuba Yakymchuk https://www.amazon.com/Apricots-Donbass-Lyuba-Yakimchuk/dp/1736432311/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1A8HTVDMQH4XO&keywords=Apricots+of+Donbas+by+Liuba+Yakymchuk&qid=1683536071&sprefix=apricots+of+donbas+by+liuba+yakymchuk%2Caps%2C322&sr=8-1 Words for War: New Poems from Ukraine https://www.amazon.com/Words-War-Ukraine-Ukrainian-Studies/dp/1618118617/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2ZRP62YKTVQ29&keywords=Words+for+War%3A+New+Poems+from+Ukraine&qid=1683536107&sprefix=words+for+war+new+poems+from+ukraine+%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-1 Absolute Zero by Artem Chekh https://www.amazon.com/Absolute-Zero-Artem-Chekh-ebook/dp/B09QGZ36SY/ref=sr_1_4?crid=A49GLG6F22FM&keywords=Absolute+Zero&qid=1683536153&s=digital-text&sprefix=absolute+zero+%2Cdigital-text%2C515&sr=1-4 In Isolation by Stanislav Aseyev https://www.amazon.com/Isolation-Dispatches-Occupied-Ukrainian-literature-ebook/dp/B09VCQD5YJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=CUL2D5GG2NFT&keywords=In+Isolation+by+Stanislav+Aseyev&qid=1683536217&s=digital-text&sprefix=in+isolation+by+stanislav+aseyev%2Cdigital-text%2C178&sr=1-1 Daughter by Tamara Duda https://www.amazon.com/Daughter-Tamara-Duda-ebook/dp/B0BNKFBKDZ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DIHSHF97CKEZ&keywords=Daughter+Tamara+duda&qid=1683536250&s=digital-text&sprefix=daughter+tamara+duda%2Cdigital-text%2C179&sr=1-1 The Death of a Soldier Told by His Sister by Olesya Khromeychuk https://www.olesyakhromeychuk.com/publications/the-death-of-a-soldier-told-by-his-sister Dignitas foundation - https://www.linkedin.com/company/dignitas-ukraine/ ~~~~~
Het is Floris gelukt: hij is in Cherson, in de hoofdstad van de gelijknamige provincie. Zijn ervaringen tekent hij op in voiceberichten. Van blije burgers tot wezenlijke waterkraantjes. Ook Robert van der Noordaa is blij. Vijftien jaar geleden trouwde hij in Cherson. Zijn schoonfamilie woont er nog en heeft de acht maanden van Russische bezetting overleefd. En ook de poging tot russificatie van Cherson lijkt faliekant te zijn mislukt. Van acht maanden naar acht jaar Russische bezetting. De stad Donetsk was in 2014 de grootste troef die in Russische handen viel. Een voormalige isolatiematerialenfabriek was in de jaren van onafhankelijk Oekraïne net uitgegroeid tot een kunst- en cultuurcentrum, maar werd al snel na de bezetting in 2014 hét martelcentrum van de Russische FSB in Oost-Oekraïne. Stanislav Aseyev was één van de slachtoffers. Aseyev tekende zijn verhaal op in het indrukwekkende 'Het concentratiekamp aan de Paradijsstraat'. Journalist Mischa van Diepen volgt deze absurde gevangenis al jaren en sprak Asayev dit jaar twee keer. Nu het boek ook door Uitgeverij Jurgen Maas in het Nederlands is uitgebracht, is het tijd voor een (non-)literaire bespreking - juist ook aan de hand van de actualiteit. Of het boek een gezellig Sinterklaas- of Kerstcadeautje is, valt gezien de hevigheid te bezien. Maar voor een rauw en echt relaas vanuit de martelkamer van een bezet gebied ben je bij Aseyev aan het juiste adres. Ook al had hij zelf natuurlijk liever anders gezien.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Love in Defiance of Pain: Ukrainian Stories" aims to bring the riches of contemporary Ukrainian literature—and of contemporary Ukraine, too—to the world. While Ukraine is under sustained attack, many in the West have marveled at the nation's strength in the face of a barbaric invasion. Who are these people, what is this nation, which has captivated the world with their courage? By showcasing some of the finest Ukrainian writers working today, this book aims to help answer that question. Authors include: Sophia Andrukhovych, Yuri Andrukhovych, Stanislav Aseyev, Kateryna Babkina, Artem Chapeye, Liubko Deresh, Kateryna Kalytko, Oksana Lutsyshyna, Vasyl Makhno, Tanja Maljartschuk, Taras Prokhasko, Oleg Sentsov, Natalka Sniadanko, Olena Stiazhkina, Sashko Ushkalov, Oksana Zabuzhko, and Serhiy Zhadan Ali Kinsella has been translating from Ukrainian for ten years.

She received a 2021 Peterson Literary Fund grant to translate Vasyl Makhno's Eternal Calendar. She holds an MA in Slavic studies from Columbia University, where she focused on Eastern European history and literature. A former Peace Corps volunteer, Ali lived in both western and central Ukraine for nearly five years. Her co-translations with Dzvinia Orlowsky from the Ukrainian of Natalka Bilotserkivets's poems, "Eccentric Days of Hope and Sorrow" (Lost Horse Press, 2021) was a finalist for the 2022 Griffin Poetry Prize. It has been shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry and longlisted for the 2022 National Translation Award in Poetry. Her next volume with Orlowsky, a collection of Halyna Kruk's poetry, will be out in 2024. Zenia Topkins, an American of Ukrainian descent, began translating Ukrainian literature in 2015, after fifteen years' experience in education, academia, and the private sector. She holds graduate degrees in Middle Eastern Languages and Literatures from Columbia University and Islamic Studies from the University of Virginia. A past recipient of fellowships from the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Education, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, among others, Zenia has varying levels of proficiency in nine languages. Her translations have been supported by grants from the Ukrainian Book Institute, the House of Europe, and the Peterson Literary Fund, among others, and include Tanja Maljartschuk's "A Biography of a Chance Miracle," Olesya Yaremchuk's "Our Others: Stories of Ukrainian Diversity," Vakhtang Kipiani's "WWII, Uncontrived and Unredacted: Testimonies from Ukraine," and Oleksandr Shatokin's "The Happiest Lion Cub" (forthcoming). She lives in exurban Virginia with her husband and three kiddos.

Stanislav Aseyev is a Ukrainian journalist and writer born in Donetsk, which at present remains occupied by Russia-backed militants. Sometime after the beginning of the occupation, he was captured for his political views by the militants of the occupied parts of the Donbas and sentenced to 15 years. On the eve of 2020, Aseyev was released in a prisoner exchange. Currently Stanislav Aseyev lives in Kyiv. Aseyev received a number of awards recognizing his active social and political position (including the Free Media Award (2020), the National Freedom of Expression Award (2020). He is also a recipient of the Shevchenko National Prize, the highest state prize of Ukraine for works of culture and arts. Stanislav Aseyev's In Isolation: Dispatches from Occupied Donbas (Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, 2022; translated into English by Lidia Wolanskyj) helps understand a highly entangled and complicated background of the current Russo-Ukrainian war. This book—a chronological account of the events that started in November of 2013, on the one hand, and a collection of journalistic reflections that attempt to explain almost surreal and absurd developments, on the other—documents how the Donbas turned into another flashpoint, following Crimea, whose emergence is directly connected to the Russian Federation and provides commentaries on Russia's role in sustaining the current war. In Isolation is written from within the zone of conflict; it emerges from the very epicenter of the war that signals not only interstate rifts but also splits that tear apart families and cause uneasiness in long-term friendships.

In Isolation is written from within the zone of conflict; it emerges from the very epicenter of the war that signals not only interstate rifts but also splits that tear apart families and cause uneasiness in long-term friendships. Nataliya Shpylova-Saeed is a PhD candidate in the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures, Indiana University. Learn more about your ad choices.
