SUMMARY:

В своем историографическом обзоре Томас Примак анализирует изучение украинской истории в Северной Америке в период, предшествующий холодной войне. Автор рассматривает появление работ по украинской истории в контексте развития интереса западного научного сообщества к истории региона Восточной Европы в целом, выделяя в развитии историографии популяризаторскую и более профессиональную стадии. Примак отмечает, что, несмотря на давность срока выхода рассматриваемых работ, они сохраняют актуальность для историографического анализа, так как именно они стали основными пособиями по украинской проблематике для западного читателя. Автор указывает, что ранний период развития украинской историографии в Северной Америке был обусловлен фактом вытеснения эмигрантских украинских центров из Западной Европы и наличием украинской диаспоры за океаном. Примак отмечает тесные взаимосвязи между политикой и научными взглядами, характерные для рассматриваемого периода, в частности, характеризует историографический контекст как определенный русской и польской точками зрения на украинскую историю, в противоборстве с которыми развивался взгляд на украинскую историю как самостоятельную область исторического изучения.

1.I made some introductory remarks on this subject in my book: Maple Leaf and Trident: The Ukrainian Canadians during the Second World War. Toronto, 1988. See especially Appendix E: “Ukrainian History and the War.” Pp. 144-9.↩

2.Some of the most important scholars were R. Nisbet Bain (1854-1909), who worked in both Russian and Polish history, W. R. Morfill (1834-1909), who also worked primarily in Russian and Polish history, and Sir Bernard Pares (1867-1949), who was primarily a “Russianist”. Pares had begun his career prior to 1939, but reached full maturity as a scholar between the wars.↩

3.Perhaps the most significant pre-1939 pamphlet to treat Ukrainian history was published during the First World War; it was authored by the distinguished Ukrainian historian and national leader, the author of a multi-volume history of his country, Mykhailo Hrushevsky (1866-1934). See his: The Historical Evolution of the Ukrainian Problem. London, 1915; repr. Cleveland, 1981. This work surveyed Ukrainian history from its origins in Kievan Rus’ through Cossackdom to modern times and provided a general framework for a national interpretation of the history of the country. It was translated into English by George Raffalovich (Bedwin Sands), a Ukrainian propagandist of Jewish background active in England during this first war. The title page indicates that the SVU (Soiuz vyzvolennia Ukrainy) (League for the Liberation of Ukraine) sponsored the publication. For a general bibliography of pre-1936 English language imprints about Ukraine, see V. J. Kaye-Kysilewsky. Ukraine, Russia, and Other Slavic Countries in English Literature...1912-1936. Series Slavistica. Тo. 40. Winnipeg: UVAN, 1961.
