aaus-list @ ukrainianstudies.org -- [aaus-list] Revising the Civil War(s) in Russia

[Diana Howansky <dhh2@columbia.edu>]

TOMORROW:

The Ukrainian Studies Program at Columbia University will host a 
lunchtime lecture by Ernest Gyidel, Fulbright Scholar, titled, 
“National, Social and Situational: Revising the Civil War(s) in the 
Post-imperial Russian South, 1918-1920.”

This lecture will discuss recent developments in both Russian and 
Ukrainian historiographies of this topic, which share similar features 
but are almost unknown to one another. Both historiographies have a 
group of scholars who continue to depict revolutionary years from the 
perspective of clear-cut national and political camps, as well as a 
small but productive group of revisionists who try to show that enemy 
lines were not along national or social lines, but often across them. 
The historiographies are also both good examples of the difference 
between how contemporary people experienced the Civil War and how 
historians later described their experiences.

Additionally, Mr. Gyidel will report on his findings at the Bakhmetteff 
Archive (Columbia Univ.) on the history of the White movement in Ukraine.

Ernest Gyidel received his B.A. from Uzhhorod State University, and M.A. 
from Central European University (Budapest). Recently he finished his 
Ph.D. studies at the Institute for European Studies of the National 
Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. He is a visiting Fulbright Scholar at 
the Harriman Institute for the 2005-2006 academic year.

(420 W. 118th St.)
