Olexandr Shevchenko about Ukrainian Soccer

Lecture by Oleksandr Shevchenko:
SPORT AND NATIONAL IDENTITY: UKRAINIAN SOCCER AS A NATION-DEFINING SPORT
TO THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF UKRAINE-RUSSIA GAME
Sunday, November 3, 2013 at 2pm
Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre (Oseredok)
184 Alexander Ave. East, Winnipeg
Olexandr Shevchenko is a free-lance interpreter and translator and a lecturer in History at the Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies at the University of Manitoba. After studying in Ukraine, Hungary, US and Canada he settled in Winnipeg since 2006. He is a passionate supporter of Ukrainian soccer.
Question of identity is not easy one to answer, with virtually any possible definition being open to questioning. At the same time, people who may disagree on many other issues become "nationals" when they cheer for their home team. This presentation explores case of Ukrainian soccer as a nation-defining sport on the example of two phenomena: Dynamo Kyiv during the 1960-1990s and Ukrainian national team after 1991.



Robert Kusnierz about Famine in Ukraine 1932-1933

3. The Great Famine in Ukraine 1932 – 1933.
          He has received various grants and awards, including The Lanckoronski Foundation Scolarship (2002 and 2005 edition), Foundation for Polish Science (2006 and 2010 edition). He was also awarded by a weekly „Polityka” with the award for the best Polish young scientists „Zostańcie z nami” (Stay with us). In November 2007 Dr. Kusnierz was honored with the „For the accomplishments” medal of the 3rd degree through the decree of the President of Ukraine no 1169/2007 for “the significant personal input in the case of showing the truth of the Great Famine in Ukraine of 1932-1933”. On 8 December 2008 during the ceremony at the Royal Castle in Warsaw his wife Renata accepted the medal on behalf of him.
 In 2009-2010 (4 months) was an Eugene and Daymel Shlar Fellow at Harvard University (Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute). In 2010 Minister of Science and Higher Education, Prof. Barbara Kudrycka awarded dr. Kuśnierz a stipend for "young distinguished scholars" for 2010-2013.

The newest book of Alexander Motyl "Sweet Snow"

Oseredok's Boutique!
The newest book of Alexander Motyl "Sweet Snow".

Alexander Motyl is a scholar and an artist. By day he is a professor of political science at Rutgers-Newark. A specialist on Ukraine, Russia, and the USSR, and on nationalism, revolutions, empires, and theory, he is the author of 10 books of nonfiction,  and a contributor of dozens of articles to academic and policy journals, newspaper op-ed pages, and magazines.

He also has a weekly blog, “Ukraine’s Orange Blues.”

SWEET SNOW is set in the Ukraine in the winter of 1933. While a terrible famine rages in the countryside, the secret police are arresting suspected spies in the cities. A German aristocrat from Prussia, a Jewish communist from New York, a Polish diplomat from Lviv, and a Ukrainian nationalist from Vienna come to share a cell. As they are being transported, their van overturns and they are freed - to wander amidst the devastated villages, desolate landscapes, and frozen corpses. As they struggle to survive, they come to grips with the horror of the famine as well as with their own delusions, weaknesses, and mortality. 
A native New Yorker, Motyl received his doctoral degree in political science, master of philosophy in political science, and master of international affairs from Columbia University. He earned his bachelor of arts in history from Columbia College.
The price of the book: $18.00.
