UKRAINIZING UKRAINE
(Last Printed Article by Dr. James E. Mace)
By James Mace, The Day Weekly Digest in English,
Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday, 27 April 2004
One can only receive with amusement the recent protest from the Russian State Duma that radio and television broadcasting in Ukraine should be in Ukrainian, if only with subtitles if need be. First of all, one doubts how well this will be carried out. Quality programming in Ukrainian does not exist as yet, and translating Hollywood movies into Ukrainian is likely to be of benefit only to a limited number of translators. The polls show that roughly half the population of Ukraine speaks Russian at home, although it is a brand of Russian that our friends from Russia often have trouble understanding, while the other half claims to speak Ukrainian, for many of whom the brand of which is fairly far removed from the literary language.
Despite the best efforts of Ukrainian officialdom, this is probably not going to change significantly in the immediate future. About the best we can hope for in the next few years is that most of those who claim to speak Ukrainian will actually learn the language, that some of those who speak Russian will make get it in a shape that our Russian friends can actually understand them and learn some passive command of Ukrainian, and at last there will be a larger space for the Ukrainian language, literature, arts, and other culture in the broadest sense.
If, of course, the Russian Duma makes claims about the Russian language in Ukraine, Ukraine has every right to make similar claims on behalf of the estimated ten million Ukrainians living there. To my knowledge, Russia boasts a number of Ukrainian-language periodicals but no schools to teach the younger generation how to read them. If Russia would like a bilateral agreement on Russian-Ukrainian bilingualism, this writer has no doubt that Ukraine can provide the appropriate negotiators and hammer something out.
Fair is fair.
The brutal fact is this: Ukraine has for a very long time suffered from imperial policies designed to reduce the utility of the Ukrainian language in Ukraine and expand the range of Russian. Other places - Ireland and Quebec come to mind - have faced this problem and tried to restore the national language to the place it would have been in had the external pressure on it not occurred. Quebec has been a bit more successful that Ireland.
We also have the fact that many Russians consider the Ukrainian language a form of Russian corrupted by Polish (try to read the chancellery Russian from the time of Ivan the Terrible, and you might find that the roots of Russian are a bit different from those of Ukrainian), that Russian history began in Kyiv (you can begin your history wherever you want, because you are projecting later concepts onto times, places, and peoples, to which they were completely foreign, but I would recommend reading A. E. Presniakov, Obrazovanie velikorusskogo gosudarstva {Petrograd, 1918, translated into English as The Making of the Great Russian State} to see how it all got started there), and that this country really is part of Russia's legitimate sphere of influence. The announced measures are really only an attempt to correct this.
There are many Ukrainians who see things differently from our Russian friends, and international relations is above all the right to agree to disagree about things from time to time. Ukraine has chosen to try to enter NATO and the European Union as the best guarantee against those who think it really should not be independent at all. After all, our Dutch friends have a language that some other Europeans consider less that pleasing to the ear, but nobody is prepared to prevent them from speaking it. Ukraine's duly elected representatives have decided to defend the Ukrainian language, and those who have been selected by the people to have the right to speak on behalf of the state deserve their say.
Europe has worked to create a state of tolerance where peoples and languages might differ, but all are united in the common goal of making their individual national contributions to human civilization. There are strong measures on record about preserving the rights of those who might speak another language or do other things differently. Ukraine has decided that it wants to be part of that community, and it has not only the right to make that decision: it was the right decision to make.
Incidentally, Kyiv, which has perhaps the cheapest cable television in the world, receives Russian Channel One, so those who want a Russian television show will not be left without something to watch. (END)

LEADING SCHOLAR AND WRITER, DR. JAMES E. MACE, DIES IN
KYIV, UKRAINE, STUDIED AND WROTE ABOUT THE 1932-33
GENOCIDAL FAMINE IN SOVIET UKRAINE
E. Morgan Williams, The Action Ukraine Report
Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday, May 4, 2004
Kyiv, Ukraine.......Dr. James E. Mace, known world-wide as a leading scholar, writer and professor regarding the genocidal famine [Holodomor} in Soviet Ukraine during 1932-1933, which killed millions of Ukrainians, died suddenly in Kyiv, Ukraine on the afternoon of Monday, May 3, 2004, at the age of 52. Dr. Mace had faced some serious health problems in recent years.
Dr. Mace is survived by his wife, Natalia Dziubenko-Mace, one son, William, from a previous marriage, and two adult stepchildren. He was born in Oklahoma, on February 18, 1952. He moved from the United States to Ukraine in the early 1990's and has been since 1995 a Professor of Political Science, Kiev-Mohyla Academy National University, and since 1997 also a consultant and writer for The Den (Day) Weekly Digest in English, published in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Professor Mace spent most of his professional career researching and writing about Ukrainian history and was a strong advocate for the fact that the famine in Soviet Ukraine during the early 1930's was an act of genocide on the part of Soviet leader Stalin. Dr. Mace was also vitally involved in promoting his belief Ukraine had suffered for years under a post-genocidal trauma as well as the oppression of being a Soviet republic but now finally had a chance to become a strong, independent, prosperous, democratic state, operating under the rule of law.
Jim Mace fought hard for what he believed in and told his many friends he wanted to live and work in Ukraine long enough to see his dream for Ukraine come true. Dr. Mace was unusual in his commitment to Ukraine in that he did not have any Ukrainian heritage.
From 1986 to 1990 he served as the executive director of the US Commission on the Ukraine Famine, Washington, D.C. and was the principal writer with Olya Samilenko of the Commission's "Report to Congress." Dr. Mace was complied and edited with Leonid Heretz the three volume, "The Oral History of the Commission on the Ukraine Famine, published in 1990.
Dominique Arel, Chair of Ukrainian Studies, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Quebec, Canada, wrote the following words in his publication "The Ukraine List" upon hearing Monday of the death of Dr. James Mace:
"A sad day in Ukrainian studies: the American historian James Mace died today in Kyiv at the tender age of 52. Author of the classic Communism and the Dilemmas of National Liberation: National Communism in Soviet Ukraine, 1918-1933 (1983) and of the monumental Investigation of the Ukrainian Famine 1932-1933, in two volumes (1987-1988), James paid a professional price for his sacrilegious claim-in Russian studies, that is-that the Ukrainian famine was man-made.
His scholarship will survive the factional debates over the famine and his academic non-conformism will remain an inspiration for the field. A semi-biographical article of his was published in 2002 as "Facts and Values: A Personal Intellectual Exploration," in Samuel Totten and Steven Leonard Jacobs, eds., Pioneers of Genocide Studies, New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction Publishers, pp. 59-74. Our sympathies and prayers go to his wife and family."
Another leading Canadian scholar, Roman Serbyn and his wife, Nadia, wrote upon hearing about the death of Dr. Mace: "An American who was as Ukrainian as anyone could be. A scholar, for whom truth was paramount, an all-round decent human being. Everyone who came in contact with him could not fail to like and appreciate him. Jim, we'll all miss you. Vichana Tobi pamiat'! Nadia & Roman Serbyn."
Alex Kuzma, Executive Director of the Children of Chornobyl Fund, in Short Hills, New Jersey, said yesterday, "I remember James well from the time I lived in Boston and he was very active in the Holodomor research at Harvard. He was truly a fine human being. Our community and the world owes him a great deal for his courageous scholarship and his willingness to challenge the academic status quo. Eternal Memory !"
The independent state of Ukraine, Ukrainians, and friends of Ukraine around the world have lost a great friend. A friend who spent years studying and writing about the genocidal famine in Ukraine, who spent his last several years living, writing and teaching his students in Ukraine while receiving a very, very modest, inadequate income, and a friend who still had so much more to give and write about. Jim's sudden death is a stunning, very difficult and sad loss.

UKRAINIZING UKRAINE
(Last Printed Article by Dr. James E. Mace)
By James Mace, The Day Weekly Digest in English,
Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday, 27 April 2004
One can only receive with amusement the recent protest from the Russian State Duma that radio and television broadcasting in Ukraine should be in Ukrainian, if only with subtitles if need be. First of all, one doubts how well this will be carried out. Quality programming in Ukrainian does not exist as yet, and translating Hollywood movies into Ukrainian is likely to be of benefit only to a limited number of translators. The polls show that roughly half the population of Ukraine speaks Russian at home, although it is a brand of Russian that our friends from Russia often have trouble understanding, while the other half claims to speak Ukrainian, for many of whom the brand of which is fairly far removed from the literary language.
Despite the best efforts of Ukrainian officialdom, this is probably not going to change significantly in the immediate future. About the best we can hope for in the next few years is that most of those who claim to speak Ukrainian will actually learn the language, that some of those who speak Russian will make get it in a shape that our Russian friends can actually understand them and learn some passive command of Ukrainian, and at last there will be a larger space for the Ukrainian language, literature, arts, and other culture in the broadest sense.
If, of course, the Russian Duma makes claims about the Russian language in Ukraine, Ukraine has every right to make similar claims on behalf of the estimated ten million Ukrainians living there. To my knowledge, Russia boasts a number of Ukrainian-language periodicals but no schools to teach the younger generation how to read them. If Russia would like a bilateral agreement on Russian-Ukrainian bilingualism, this writer has no doubt that Ukraine can provide the appropriate negotiators and hammer something out.
Fair is fair.
The brutal fact is this: Ukraine has for a very long time suffered from imperial policies designed to reduce the utility of the Ukrainian language in Ukraine and expand the range of Russian. Other places - Ireland and Quebec come to mind - have faced this problem and tried to restore the national language to the place it would have been in had the external pressure on it not occurred. Quebec has been a bit more successful that Ireland.
We also have the fact that many Russians consider the Ukrainian language a form of Russian corrupted by Polish (try to read the chancellery Russian from the time of Ivan the Terrible, and you might find that the roots of Russian are a bit different from those of Ukrainian), that Russian history began in Kyiv (you can begin your history wherever you want, because you are projecting later concepts onto times, places, and peoples, to which they were completely foreign, but I would recommend reading A. E. Presniakov, Obrazovanie velikorusskogo gosudarstva {Petrograd, 1918, translated into English as The Making of the Great Russian State} to see how it all got started there), and that this country really is part of Russia's legitimate sphere of influence. The announced measures are really only an attempt to correct this.
There are many Ukrainians who see things differently from our Russian friends, and international relations is above all the right to agree to disagree about things from time to time. Ukraine has chosen to try to enter NATO and the European Union as the best guarantee against those who think it really should not be independent at all. After all, our Dutch friends have a language that some other Europeans consider less that pleasing to the ear, but nobody is prepared to prevent them from speaking it. Ukraine's duly elected representatives have decided to defend the Ukrainian language, and those who have been selected by the people to have the right to speak on behalf of the state deserve their say.
Europe has worked to create a state of tolerance where peoples and languages might differ, but all are united in the common goal of making their individual national contributions to human civilization. There are strong measures on record about preserving the rights of those who might speak another language or do other things differently. Ukraine has decided that it wants to be part of that community, and it has not only the right to make that decision: it was the right decision to make.
Incidentally, Kyiv, which has perhaps the cheapest cable television in the world, receives Russian Channel One, so those who want a Russian television show will not be left without something to watch. (END)

LEADING SCHOLAR AND WRITER, DR. JAMES E. MACE, DIES IN
KYIV, UKRAINE, STUDIED AND WROTE ABOUT THE 1932-33
GENOCIDAL FAMINE IN SOVIET UKRAINE
E. Morgan Williams, The Action Ukraine Report
Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday, May 4, 2004
Kyiv, Ukraine.......Dr. James E. Mace, known world-wide as a leading scholar, writer and professor regarding the genocidal famine [Holodomor} in Soviet Ukraine during 1932-1933, which killed millions of Ukrainians, died suddenly in Kyiv, Ukraine on the afternoon of Monday, May 3, 2004, at the age of 52. Dr. Mace had faced some serious health problems in recent years.
Dr. Mace is survived by his wife, Natalia Dziubenko-Mace, one son, William, from a previous marriage, and two adult stepchildren. He was born in Oklahoma, on February 18, 1952. He moved from the United States to Ukraine in the early 1990's and has been since 1995 a Professor of Political Science, Kiev-Mohyla Academy National University, and since 1997 also a consultant and writer for The Den (Day) Weekly Digest in English, published in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Professor Mace spent most of his professional career researching and writing about Ukrainian history and was a strong advocate for the fact that the famine in Soviet Ukraine during the early 1930's was an act of genocide on the part of Soviet leader Stalin. Dr. Mace was also vitally involved in promoting his belief Ukraine had suffered for years under a post-genocidal trauma as well as the oppression of being a Soviet republic but now finally had a chance to become a strong, independent, prosperous, democratic state, operating under the rule of law.
Jim Mace fought hard for what he believed in and told his many friends he wanted to live and work in Ukraine long enough to see his dream for Ukraine come true. Dr. Mace was unusual in his commitment to Ukraine in that he did not have any Ukrainian heritage.
From 1986 to 1990 he served as the executive director of the US Commission on the Ukraine Famine, Washington, D.C. and was the principal writer with Olya Samilenko of the Commission's "Report to Congress." Dr. Mace was complied and edited with Leonid Heretz the three volume, "The Oral History of the Commission on the Ukraine Famine, published in 1990.
Dominique Arel, Chair of Ukrainian Studies, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Quebec, Canada, wrote the following words in his publication "The Ukraine List" upon hearing Monday of the death of Dr. James Mace:
"A sad day in Ukrainian studies: the American historian James Mace died today in Kyiv at the tender age of 52. Author of the classic Communism and the Dilemmas of National Liberation: National Communism in Soviet Ukraine, 1918-1933 (1983) and of the monumental Investigation of the Ukrainian Famine 1932-1933, in two volumes (1987-1988), James paid a professional price for his sacrilegious claim-in Russian studies, that is-that the Ukrainian famine was man-made.
His scholarship will survive the factional debates over the famine and his academic non-conformism will remain an inspiration for the field. A semi-biographical article of his was published in 2002 as "Facts and Values: A Personal Intellectual Exploration," in Samuel Totten and Steven Leonard Jacobs, eds., Pioneers of Genocide Studies, New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction Publishers, pp. 59-74. Our sympathies and prayers go to his wife and family."
Another leading Canadian scholar, Roman Serbyn and his wife, Nadia, wrote upon hearing about the death of Dr. Mace: "An American who was as Ukrainian as anyone could be. A scholar, for whom truth was paramount, an all-round decent human being. Everyone who came in contact with him could not fail to like and appreciate him. Jim, we'll all miss you. Vichana Tobi pamiat'! Nadia & Roman Serbyn."
Alex Kuzma, Executive Director of the Children of Chornobyl Fund, in Short Hills, New Jersey, said yesterday, "I remember James well from the time I lived in Boston and he was very active in the Holodomor research at Harvard. He was truly a fine human being. Our community and the world owes him a great deal for his courageous scholarship and his willingness to challenge the academic status quo. Eternal Memory !"
The independent state of Ukraine, Ukrainians, and friends of Ukraine around the world have lost a great friend. A friend who spent years studying and writing about the genocidal famine in Ukraine, who spent his last several years living, writing and teaching his students in Ukraine while receiving a very, very modest, inadequate income, and a friend who still had so much more to give and write about. Jim's sudden death is a stunning, very difficult and sad loss.
