More information on the Columbia University Ukrainian Programs:
MARCH 23:

The Ukrainian Film Club of Columbia University continues its new
thematic series: “Ukraine. A Cinematographic View from the West”. The
Club's March event will present two perspectives on the Orange
Revolution, the November 2004 peaceful mass mobilization of Ukrainians
in defense of their right to vote. A Ukrainian and an American
filmmaker
will give their individual accounts of what happened on and around the
Maidan (the Independence Square) in Kyiv, Ukraine. The program is
titled:

"THE ORANGE REVOLUTION. A STORY FULL OF SOUND AND FURY, SIGNIFYING?"

The March event will include three films:

“Nevseremos. People from Maidan”, 2005 director Serhiy
Masloboyshchykov,
Ukraine, American premier. The film documents two opposing political
perspectives – the orange, pro-Yushchenko and the blue pro-Yanukovych -

during the heady events and nine months after.

“Zlydni” (Poverty), 2005, director Stepan Koval, Ukraine, American
Premier. This short plasticene animation is a tongue-in-cheek metaphor
for the “blessing” that Russia has been for Ukraine as a neighbor.

“Borderland, Ukraine and the Rebirth of Democracy,” 2005, director
Paul
Tremblay, USA. A historical background of the Orange Revolution is
combined with a detailed analysis of the events by their participants
and observers, who come from varied linguistic, cultural, and
political
backgrounds.

Introduction and post screening discussion led by Yuri Shevchuk,
director of the Film Club.

All films are either with English subtitles or in English.

This event is co-sponsored by the Ukrainian Students’ Society of
Columbia University.

WHEN: Thursday, March 23, 2006, at 7:30 PM
WHERE: 614 Schermerhorn Hall, Columbia University

MARCH 27:

The Ukrainian Studies Program at Columbia University will host a
lecture
by Mykola Ryabchuk, titled:

"CULTURAL WARS & RIVAL IDENTITIES: UKRAINE AS A POST-SOVIET
IDEOLOGICAL
BATTLEGROUND"

Mykola Ryabchuk, who is a Jacyk Visiting Scholar at Columbia's
Ukrainian
Studies Program this spring 2006 semester, teaching a course on
Language, Culture, and Identity Issues in Contemporary Ukraine,
writes:
"Ukraine, as a nation located on the border between two different
civilizations, Eurasian and European, and exposed to various cultural
and political influences throughout its history, provides students of
the region with a great many paradoxes that often look like
ambivalence,
if not ambiguity. Language, culture, and identity issues contribute
greatly to Ukraine’s paradoxes and controversies but, also, to the
nation’s uniqueness and potential dynamic."

Mykola Ryabchuk has been, since 1997, a research associate at the
Center
for European Studies at the University of “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy” and a
co-founder and co-editor of the “Krytyka” monthly. He penned seven
books
in Ukrainian, including: "Zone of Alienation: Ukrainian Oligarchy
between East and West" (Kyiv, 2004) and "Two Ukraines: Real Borders
and
Virtual Wars" (Kyiv, 2003). He holds a number of awards for the best
articles of the year from different periodicals, two national “Book of
the Year” awards (2000 and 2004), a prestigious Antonovych Prize
(2003)
and a Polish-Ukrainian Capitula Award (2002, on par with late Jacek
Kuron) for the significant contribution to Polish-Ukrainian
reconciliation.
