From the Editor
This volume mainly presents a selection from the work that political
scientists — both members and non-members of the Ukrainian
Academy of Arts and Sciences in the United States — have done on the
Ukraine and related subjects. We are fortunate that an eminent
sociologist and an eminent jurist consented to join the group of
invited contributors. The issue opens with two comparative articles in
the historical vein: the late Eugene Pyziur draws a fascinating, original
parallel between the concepts of nation in the work of Edmund Burke
and of Taras Shevchenko, and Ihor Kamenetsky shows the similarities
and differences in the treatment of Slovenia and Western Ukraine
under German occupation in World War II. The next two articles deal
with aspects of the contemporary Soviet Union: the late sociologist
Alex Simirenko offers us a most interesting paradigm for the study of
social control in a Socialist society, while Yaroslav Bilinskv writes on
the concept of the Soviet People and its implications for Soviet
nationality policy. The next four articles present aspects of the Soviet
Ukraine. Jeff Chinn has explored some of the changing demographic
characteristics of the population of the Ukraine — a subject that is
important for any thorough study of that country. Andreas Bilinsky, a
jurist, has elucidated for us a little known aspect, viz., the legal
citizenship of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Finally, we
offer two articles on contemporary politics in Soviet Ukraine and
Ukrainian nationalism: Kenneth C. Farmer surveys politics and
culture after Stalin, while Grey Hodnett analyzes in detail the views of
Petro Shelest, the First Secretary of the Ukrainian Party organization
in Kiev from 1963-72 and full Party Politburo member in Moscow
from 1964-73, who was dismissed from his positions for his Ukrainian
autonomist views.
The editor is keenly aware of the fact that this particular issue of the
Annals is more than a year overdue. Many unforeseen circumstances
have contributed to this. The Executive Board of the Academy and the
editor personally would like to thank the contributors and the
subscribers for their great patience and continued faith.
In the spring of 1980 the Executive Board made the decision to
8 THE ANNALS OF THE UKRAINIAN ACADEMY
continue publishing The Annals and to bring them out more
frequently. The next issue, which is in preparation, is being edited by
Hryhory Kostiuk and Bohdan Rubchak. It will be dedicated to the
work of the Ukrainian writer, dramatist, and political leader
Volodymyr Vynnychenko and will be largely based on the papers
given at the Vynnychenko Conference at the Academy in April 1980.
Further issues are in preparation.
The transliteration used in this issue is a simplified version of that
employed by the Library of Congress (please refer to the table on
p. 9). After much experimentation, the editor has decided that there
is simply no way to transliterate the Ukrainian letter Ї adequately: yi
and ii both look complicated and may be misleading, to boot. We are,
therefore, asking our readers — and our printer, too, — to bear with
our leaving the Ukrainian ї а Ї in English, dieresis and all. On the
other hand, we have gone rather far in simplifying the spelling of
Ukrainian geographical names: thus, we have printed Lviv, instead of
the more precise L’viv. The Ukrainian versions of geographical names
have been used (Lviv, instead of Lvov), except when the older form (or
a Russian version) has been firmly established in English (thus, Kiev,
instead of Kyiv).
Last but not least, it is great pleasure to acknowledge the help
received from many quarters. The editor would like to especially thank
Mr. Maksym Pyziur for permission to print the article of his late father
and Mrs. Cheryl Kern-Simirenko for authorizing the publication of the
work of her late husband. A colleague of the editor, Professor Paul
Dolan, of the University of Delaware, advised him on a point of
American constitutional law. Professor Yi-Chun Chang, of the same
University, helped him with Chinese geography. The publication of
this issue has been made possible by the estate of the late Mr. Alexander
Pashko, M. A. — its executors deserve the thanks of all the readers. All
the members of the Academy’s publications committee whose names
appear on the inside cover have helped in innumerable ways. After the
death of Professor Iwan Zamsha, Professor William Omelchenko, of
Hunter College, has gladly taken on such chores as compiling the
Chronicle, negotiating with printers, and many others. Mr. Alexander
J. Motyl, M. A., the Assistant Copy Editor, has conscientiously checked
the quotations and references. Particular recognition is due to Mrs.
Margaret Pyle Hassert, Assistant Director of the University of
Delaware Writing Center and Lecturer in its English Department.
Working closely with the editor, she has taught him that there is more
