Myroslav Popovych's book is an attempt to create a «philosophy of history» — analogous to the philosophy of science or art. Its subject matter is the history of European civilization in the 20th century, primarily in the context of communist totalitarianism. The author focuses not on events as such, but on their historical meaning, which is inseparable from the moral issues of good and evil. Popovych emphasizes that the key secrets of the past century lie not so much in facts or political strategies as in an adequate understanding of historical phenomena. Against this backdrop, he analyzes the controversial issues of Ukrainian history — from the Central Rada, the Hetmanate, and the Directory to the “Executed Renaissance,” the Holodomor, the Great Terror, World War II, and the activities of the UPA, as well as the fate of culture in the Ukrainian SSR, the diaspora, and the period of perestroika. All these issues are interpreted in a broad civilizational context.

Pamphil D. Yurkevych And His Philosophic Legacy: Winnipeg, Society of Volyn, 1979, 76 p.

2025-09-11T17:33:33+00:00

A diaspora publication, published in Winnipeg (Canada), is dedicated to the philosophical work of Pamfil Yurkevych. Its author, Orthodox priest Stepan Yarmus, emphasizes that until the publication of his work, Yurkevych remained a little-studied figure. In particular, Yarmus notes that he managed to find 10 books by Yurkevych in libraries in London, the Vatican, and Moscow. According to Yarmus, the research tradition of studying Yurkevych was initiated by Dmytro Chyzhevskyi, but his study was never published. One of the important sources for understanding Yurkevych's work is an article by Volodymyr Solovyov, a student of Yurkevych, who described his teacher as a representative of the typical Ukrainian way of thinking.

2025-09-08T19:58:28+00:00

The Communist Manifesto [Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei] is the first programmatic document of the communist movement, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels on behalf of the Second Congress of the Communist League. It was first published on February 21, 1848. The text encompasses the main theses of historical materialism, analyzes the development of bourgeois society, the role of the proletariat, and outlines the tasks of communist parties in the global context.

The edition of The Communist Manifesto published by the Ukrainian Federation of the American Socialist Party in Cleveland in 1917 constitutes one of the earliest translations of the document into Ukrainian. The publication was oriented towards the Ukrainian diaspora in the USA and had an agitational-educational character. The translation was executed in Ukrainian Latin script (zhelekhivka), reflecting the practice of linguistic adaptation among the diaspora press. The translation was executed in zhelekhivka, reflecting the practice of linguistic adaptation among the diaspora press. The edition was printed by the circulation of the newspaper "Robitnyk" [The Worker], which was the organ of Ukrainian socialists in North America.

In the review, Yevhen Golovakha analyzes two works by Russian sociologists: From Opinions to Understanding by Yurii Levada and Word – Writing – Literature by Borys Dubin. The author examines these works as a chronicle of post-Soviet society based on empirical data from mass surveys. The article explores the crisis of culture and cultural elite in Russia, which manifests in the desacralization of refined culture and the intelligentsia's loss of spiritual orientations. Golovakha analyzes the phenomenon of «post-soviet man» and the concept of «forced democracy». Author evaluates Levada's and Dubin's works as an example of scientific objectivity.

Hermes and Gadamer In Krytyka, No. 4 (54), 2002, pp. 30-31.

2025-09-08T19:12:35+00:00

The article analyzes Hans-Georg Gadamer's (1900-2002) philosophical hermeneutics with an emphasis on his dialogical approach to interpretation. Havryliv analyzes Gadamer's concept of conversation as a central element of the hermeneutic process, which arises from the structure of Socratic dialogue and encompasses the interaction of the subject with the text, tradition, and other interpreters. Karl-Otto Apel's criticism of this concept and Gadamer's response to it are analyzed separately. Considerable attention is paid to Gadamer's appeal to poetry, in particular the work of Paul Celan, as a way of approaching the inexpressible. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that philosophical hermeneutics can serve as a methodology for the humanities.

У праці Антона Паннекука «Марксізм і дарвінізм» [Marxism and Darwinism] здійснено порівняльний аналіз еволюційної теорії Чарльза Дарвіна та історико-матеріалістичного підходу Карла Маркса. Автор наголошує на спільній для обох концепцій ідеї розвитку через боротьбу, водночас підкреслюючи принципову відмінність між біологічною конкуренцією та класовою боротьбою. Паннекук критично розглядає погляди Герберта Спенсера, спроби використання дарвінізму для легітимації капіталістичного ладу та спростовує натуралістичні обґрунтування соціального дарвінізму. Спираючись на роботи Дарвіна, Паннекук стверджує, що взаємодопомога й солідарність у тваринному світі сприяють виживанню групи й є природною основою соціального розвитку.

The material is a review of Serhii Bilokin's work Mass Terror as a Means of State Governance in the USSR, written by Yurii Shapoval under the impression of Yaroslav Hrytsak's article The Black Books of the Red Terror, which is also devoted to a critical analysis of this work. Despite acknowledging the importance of Bilokin's study, Shapoval emphasizes his bias in presenting events and formulating conclusions about the Soviet period in Ukraine. The text presents the reviewer's arguments about the presence of propagandistic and anti-scientific narratives in Bilokin's works, which, according to Shapoval, undermine the scientific value of the publication.

The article examines the transformation of the role of writers and intellectuals in a globalized world. Said analyzes the merging of the figures of writer and intellectual at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries, when writers perform the functions of social critics. The author considers the impact of electronic media and the internet on the possibilities of intellectual intervention in the public sphere. The author criticizes the dominant discourse of globalization. The work outlines three domains of intellectual struggle: historical memory, coexistence, and justice. The author emphasizes that intellectuals must possess the courage to adequately comprehend and accept the realities of the world. Translated from English by Kateryna Botanova.

The idea of school in a double perspective In Krytyka, No. 3 (65), 2003, pp. 6-7.

2025-09-08T19:36:56+00:00

The article provides a comparative analysis of the educational systems of Ukraine and the United States, focusing on common problems and different approaches to solving them. The author shows that despite external differences between the systems, both countries face similar challenges: insufficient funding, problems of academic integrity, and the need to align scientific training with labor market requirements. Bohachevska analyzes the American pragmatic and localized approach to educational reform, contrasting it with the Ukrainian desire to create a comprehensive concept for transforming the education system. The study pays particular attention to the phenomenon of the «American way» as an alternative to ideologically colored models. The author also critically reflects on the risks associated with the ideologization of the educational process and warns against reducing complex pedagogical tasks to abstract slogans.

Response to M. Ilnytskyi's article in the journal «Kyiv» In Ukraiinsky Visnyk, No. 7–10, 1988, pp. 34–39.

2025-09-08T18:54:01+00:00

The material contains the author's reflections on Mykola Ilnytskyi's article «Dialogue Across Generations», dedicated to comparing the works of Ukrainian poets of the 1960s and 1980s. The text presents the author's vision of the role of literary criticism, the figure of the poet, and the significance of poetry. Particular emphasis is placed on the influence of the repressive nature of the Soviet regime on the creative potential of artists, as well as on the transformation of approaches to poetic creativity during those decades.

The text was written in the Kuchyn special-regime camp and sent by the author to his relatives in the form of a letter in 1986.

Apology of the Skeptical Reason In Krytyka, No. 11 (61), 2002, pp. 11-12.

2025-09-06T16:28:55+00:00

This article presents a systematic overview of Serhii Proleiev's concepts of skepticism as one of the leading methods of philosophical thinking. The author analyzes contemporary philosophical discourses and reflects on the specifics of human attitudes toward philosophy as such. The article includes a historical and philosophical excursion into the issues of subjectivity, reason, and doubt. According to Proleiev, doubt is a universal epistemic tool of reason that enables reflection, definition, and cognition. The concluding part analyzes the problem of the decline of philosophy in the context of characteristic trends in contemporary philosophical thinking.

What is politics: Prague-Berlin, Nova Ukraiina, 1923, 38 p.

2025-09-06T13:46:39+00:00

The main goal of this work is to examine the concept of «politics» and grasp its essence. The author begins his research with the etymology of the word and establishes two understandings of politics: 1) as a science, theory, and 2) as practice and creative action. The work distinguishes between the two concepts of «politics as a science» and «the science of the state». Politics as a science oriented toward what ought to be — toward shaping the future, while the science of the state studies existing state phenomena.

Furthermore, the author distinguishes between the concepts of «state» and «society» and traces their historical development and their influence on the understanding of the concept of «politics».

Ultimately, Levynskyi defines politics as a social struggle for the existence and preservation of national culture and emphasizes that the establishment of a nation‑state is a critically important goal of politics for oppressed peoples.

The Babylonian captivity of democracy In Krytyka, No. 1-2 (63-64), 2003, pp. 15 16.

2025-09-06T12:58:05+00:00

The article examines the United States' policy toward Iraq in 2002 from an ethical and philosophical perspective. The author analyzes the Iraqi conflict through the prism of the concept of «national interest» and concludes that the motive behind American policy is the need to promote democracy in the world as a means of resolving political and social problems. According to the author, the conflict in Iraq has global significance, as it leads to a confrontation between Arabs and the Western world, which is perceived as «foreign» due to arising sense of Arab solidarity and patriotism.

Ukrainians in the prairies of Alberta In Krytyka, No. 6 (44), 2001, pp. 29-32.

2025-09-06T16:58:33+00:00

The article is a review of four works written by Ukrainians in Canada: Honey and Ashes: A Story of Family (Janice Kulyk Keefer), The Doomed Bridegroom: A Memoir (Myrna Kostash), Two Lands New Visions: Stories from Canada and Ukraine (Janice Kulyk Keefer and Solomiia Pavlychko), and The Ukrainian Wedding (Larry Warwaruk). The author positively assesses the very fact of the appearance of such publications, while expressing a number of critical remarks regarding the content and stylistic features of each of them. The article also emphasizes the importance of understanding the different sociocultural conditions and environments in which cultural and national identity is formed.

Roadside Banquet In Krytyka, No. 11 (61), 2002, pp. 17-19.

2025-09-06T16:38:35+00:00

The article presents Volodymyr Verloka's views on the state of humanities journals in the context of Ukrainian academic publishing. The author outlines public perceptions of the humanities in Ukraine at the beginning of the 21st century, paying considerable attention to criticism and analysis of general trends in the development of periodicals. In particular, Verloka highlights the shortcomings of a number of publications and provides a detailed analysis of the activities of the publishing house «Dukh i Litera», positively distinguishing it from others. A separate aspect of the article is the actualization of the problem of insufficient demand for humanities literature in contemporary Ukrainian society.

Nationality and the state: Kyiv-Vienna, Dzvin, 1919, 126 p.

2025-09-06T16:14:02+00:00

The work consists of two sections – «Nationality» and «State» – which are part of the original work Nationality, State, Socialism, which was never published. In the first section, the author analyzes the concept of «nationality», examining its elements – language and culture. The work also analyzes historical types of nationality and presents the author's vision of the prospects for this phenomenon in the context of socialist ideas. Levynskyi rejects the concept of a single universal state, arguing that the historical progress of humanity is ensured by the differentiation of national languages and cultures.

The second section examines the genesis of the state and its main historical types. The author pays particular attention to the presentation of key theories of state justification, in particular the ideas of Machiavelli, Hobbes, Rousseau, and Montesquieu. The relationship between the state and nationality is examined through the prism of different forms of statehood: the nation state, the state of nationalities (federal model), and the imperialist state.

The concluding part of the work presents reflections on socialism, which, according to Levynskyi, is called upon to realize the national will of each people. Only under such conditions is true brotherhood of peoples possible, and cosmopolitanism acquires meaningful content.

Clothes for a book (Cover for a book) In Krytyka, No. 6 (32), 2000, pp. 14-15.

2025-09-06T13:37:54+00:00

The article is devoted to the issue of visual design in works of Ukrainian fiction. The author draws critical attention to the «form» of Ukrainian publications, since, just like the «content», it plays an important role in the reader’s perception of the book and in satisfying their aesthetic needs. The article states that the main problem with poor-quality book production and unaesthetic design is the prohibition of creative self-expression, which stems from the totalitarian culture of the Soviet Union.

Ultimately, Taran emphasizes that the culture of the book is an indicator of the culture of society, therefore, qualitative changes in visual design are essential for the formation of a cultural Ukrainian nation.

Ukrainian Foucault or French Petrov? The striking similarity between two historians of philosophy In Naukovi zapysky NaUKMA, vol. 17, Philology, 1999, pp. 42-44

2025-09-06T17:15:44+00:00

This article analyzes the similarities in the philosophical views of two thinkers, Viktor Petrov and Michel Foucault. The author compares their philosophical concepts, emphasizing the noticeable similarity of ideas, which can be traced despite the differences in cultural and historical eras, intellectual practices, and life contexts. The central theme is the philosophy of history as a common field of concern for their reflections. At the same time, along with emphasizing the similarities between Petrov and Foucault's approaches, the article also outlines a number of significant differences between their conceptual approaches.

Thoughts on what we have chosen In Krytyka, No. 3 (53), 2002, pp. 4-5.

2025-09-06T16:50:01+00:00

This article is Myroslav Popovych's reaction to the 2002 parliamentary elections in Ukraine. The author analyzes their results, circumstances, and potential consequences for the political process. The central theme of the article is the emphasis on the gradual establishment of positive changes in Ukrainian society, expressed, in particular, in the practice of democratic elections. According to Popovych, the political development of independent Ukraine is proceeding gradually and consistently, despite numerous political and cultural obstacles. In his reflections, the author uses specific political examples and comparisons to reinforce his arguments.

Knots of electronic weaves In Krytyka, No. 12 (50), 2001, pp. 8-10.

2025-09-05T07:52:25+00:00

The article is devoted to the critique of reducing the phenomenon of the «Internet» to virtual reality or cyberspace. Kateryna Botanova refers to technophobic discourse, presenting the concepts of virtual reality by J. Baudrillard, W. McDougall, and S. Žižek. Using the theories of the mentioned philosophers, the author notes that the phenomenon of the “Internet” is wrongly identified with other phenomena such as «virtual reality», «computer», «interface», and so on, due to their technological similarity. Instead, the article presents a view of this phenomenon as a mimetic reality — an imperfect imitation rather than a separate cyberspace. Since the existence of the Internet is only possible in the presence of a subject who is involved in experiencing it within the limits of technological capabilities, the author believes that the Internet is not a separate reality, but only complements the actual reality.

Methodological pressure In Krytyka, No. 12 (62), 2002, pp. 14-17.

2025-09-05T08:07:19+00:00

The article is devoted to the problem of borrowing Western methodologies in the humanities in Ukraine. The author examines the leading methodologies of Ukrainian and Western literary studies of the 1960s and 1990s, considering the conditions of their emergence in the sociocultural context.

Hundorova emphasizes the obvious fact that Ukrainian humanities lag behind Western methodological trends. According to her observations, Ukrainian scholars tend to reject the latest approaches, which can be explained by their fear of metaphoricality and the legacy of the Soviet literary tradition based on the principles of objectivity and historicism.

The article also outlines the limitations of both domestic and foreign approaches to literary studies and questions the validity of concerns about Western methodologies.

Power and Society: A Postmodern Perspective: Kyiv, Duh i Litera, 2021, 359 p.

2025-08-11T17:05:04+00:00

The monograph is devoted to the analysis of the self-organization of contemporary sociality, and above all, the effects and role of power in it. The situation of the global world today is examined both in its cultural and historical genealogy in the context of modern civilization and in the radical social and anthropological innovations that determine the current structure of human life. Particular attention is paid to the «power of reason» as an integrative expression of the modern premises of global reality and its undermining and refutation by the global information environment. The author puts forward the concept of information power as the newest universal force that determines the order of human existence and establishes a new anthropological type – the singularity. The study concludes with an analysis of the peculiarities of political self-determination of modern Ukraine in the context of global self-determination of modern Ukraine relating to global transformations.

Dark forces against Professor Chyzhevskyi in Svoboda, 1949, 9th April, pp. 2-3.

2025-08-09T12:23:46+00:00

The newspaper article presents an episode from Dmytro Chyzhevskyi's professional biography. According to the author, in 1945 Chyzhevskyi was to take up the position of contract professor at the Department of Slavic Studies at the University of Marburg, but this department was suddenly moved to Frankfurt. Despite appeals from students to keep the department in Marburg, the Minister of Hesse questioned Chyzhevskyi's academic qualifications. In his own article in the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper, Minister Stein accused him of collaborating with Soviet officials. According to the author of the publication, the conflict was caused by the desire to remove Chyzhevskyi as a «foreigner» and replace him with a German specialist.

Michel Foucault: a dialogue about power In Krytyka, No. 1-2 (51-52), 2002, pp. 11-13.

2025-08-09T12:42:58+00:00

According to the author, the reception of Michel Foucault's philosophy in the CIS is significantly distorted. The article substantiates the thesis that Foucault's intellectual project is in opposition to the key provisions of leftist ideology. The author highlights the following typical features of the latter: the basic opposition between «direct/artificial», the understanding of lies as the language of power, the existence of a scenario of radical liberation from coercive relations, and the universalization of the idea of the common. In contrast, according to the author's observations, Foucault's philosophy can be distinguished by a number of meta-concepts that attest to its opposition to leftist mythology: the interpretation of man as a product of power relations, the rejection of the postulate of ideology as «false consciousness», the presence of a scenario of salvation through philosophy, and the presence of fundamental nominalism. The author warns that borrowing individual elements of Foucault's concept of power without reconstructing his holistic philosophical position leads to misinterpretations in the study of Soviet and post-communist statehood.

Monarchy and republic: Petrograd, Vydannia petrohradskoho komitetu [Publication of the Petrograd Committee], 1917, 16 p.

2025-08-09T11:59:09+00:00

In the brochure, the author provides a concise overview of the concepts of monarchy and republic in the European context, emphasizing the differences between the monarchical systems of Russia and European states. In his opinion, the emergence of constitutional monarchy in Europe was the result of revolutionary changes carried out by a coalition of the bourgeoisie and the working class. At the same time, the preservation of the institution of monarchy under a constitutional system is seen as a form of protection for the class interests of capitalists who, according to the author, seek to secure their land holdings. Despite the introduction of a constitution in the Russian Empire in 1905, the author emphasizes the preservation of the absolutist nature of the Russian monarchy.

In the political sphere, the author advocates the establishment of a democratic, or people's, republic in Ukraine, equating these concepts. He emphasizes the need for free expression of the will of the people, guarantees of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, as well as the introduction of public assemblies and the creation of associations. In the context of the upcoming Constituent Assembly, the author calls for support for candidates from the Social Democratic Party.

Infected by elitism In Krytyka, No. 1-2 (75-76), 2004, pp. 29-30.

2025-08-08T12:48:49+00:00

In this article, the author draws attention to the growth of elitist tendencies among contemporary intellectuals. They are increasingly focused on reflecting on their own conditions of existence, pushing the desire for social transformation into the background. Such elitism manifests itself in a strategy of symbolically distancing oneself from «others» and constructing a sense of intellectual superiority. Particular attention is paid to the phenomenon of irony as a self-sufficient rhetorical position that serves as a means of self-affirmation rather than critical analysis. The phenomenon of so-called «intellectual racism» is also considered—the categorical rejection of views and practices that do not correspond to the norms and ideas of a particular intellectual environment.

Amnesty and amnesia In Krytyka, No. 5 (31), 2000, pp. 11-15.

2025-07-22T07:42:22+00:00

The article is based on a 1999 lecture by Alain Besancon at the University of Warsaw. The text consists of nine parts. Besancon criticizes our asymmetrical perception of communism and Nazism: while there is a “hypermnesia” about the crimes of Nazism, the crimes of communism are subjected to amnesia and amnesty. Referring to Raoul Hilberg's The Destruction of the European Jews, he compares Nazism and the Soviet version of communism. It is argued that the means common to Nazism and communism were expropriation, exile in concentration camps, mobile extermination operations, and deportation. Unlike the Nazis, the communist government did not create death camps and used such means of destruction as judicial reprisals and famine. While the crimes of Nazism targeted specific social groups, virtually anyone could become an enemy in the eyes of the communist regime. Besancon examines the ideologies of Nazism and Communism from a theological perspective, arguing that they both contain the secularized idea of Christian messiahship, Pelagianism, and elements of Gnosticism. The article concludes with his reflections on the uniqueness of the Shoah.

Whose post‐colonialism and whose postmodernism? In Vpered, 2009-02-13.

2025-07-22T07:28:38+00:00

The article is a translation of a text by Arun Mukherjee. In her article, the author argues that postmodernism is largely a purely Western cultural phenomenon. She criticizes postmodern theorists for separating literary discourse from the rest of social discourse and ignoring the epistemological privilege of belonging to the dominant culture. She challenges the concept of «postcolonial literature» as one that implies the monolithicity of non-Western literary traditions. The binary vision of the metropolis and the colonies as center and margin, common in postcolonial studies, is questioned. Mukherjee emphasizes the need for postcolonial literatures to reject opposing themselves to Western imperial textuality as a way of self-determination.

The Clash of Ignorance In Krytyka, No. 11 (49), 2001, pp. 7-8.

2025-07-22T07:47:19+00:00

The article is a translation of a text by Edward Said for Znet magazine. In his article, Said discusses Samuel Huntington’s concept of the «Clash of Civilizations», which has gained renewed interest among public intellectuals and the mainstream media since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. It is argued that Huntington offers an overly simplistic view of the dynamics of civilizational relations, focusing on the antagonistic struggle between the collective West and Islam. This reductionist approach, according to the author, does not reflect the diversity of historical relations between civilizations and cements in the public consciousness a prejudiced idea of the Islamic tradition by diminishing its cultural influence along with its aesthetic and intellectual aspects. Said sees the concept of the «Clash of Civilizations» as a tool for increasing moral panic rather than an effective way to navigate the modern world.

The conservative face of classical liberalism In Krytyka, No. 4 (42), 2001, pp. 29-32.

2025-07-22T07:37:17+00:00

Hennadii Aliaiev's article consists of six parts: 1) The way to the reader; 2) The liberal-conservative paradigm; 3) Tradition and law; 4) Separation of the authority: legislation and government; 5) Partisan elections and the brutality of politics; 6) Liberal or conservative?

The first part contains the author's remarks on two editions of Ukrainian translations of Friedrich von Haiek's Law, Legislation and Liberty, dedicated to the centenary of the Austro-British economist.

In the second part, the author defines von Haiek's political views as «liberal conservatism». The argument is that Haiek believes that preserving traditions is necessary to ensure human rights and freedoms.

The third part describes such features of Haiek's political conception as the distinction between right and law and the rejection of political constructivism with its positive definitions of freedom and justice.

The fourth part focuses on the relevance for Ukrainian politics of Haiek's idea of dividing the legislature into a government, a governmental assembly formed on the basis of party principle, and a legislative assembly elected on the basis of meritocracy

The fifth part of the article examines the danger of the rule of law over right as one of the drawbacks of democracy.

The sixth part discusses Haiek's libertarian views on the role of the state. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the falsity of the dichotomy of liberalism and conservatism and to propose liberal conservatism as a unifying political paradigm for Ukrainian society.

The dead ends of Leninism In Krytyka, No. 11 (49), 2001, pp. 20–23.

2025-07-21T08:45:17+00:00

In his article «The dead ends of Leninism», Pavlo Kutuiev offers a theoretical and analytical interpretation of Leninism as a specific project of social transformation that laid the foundation for political and institutional practices in the post-Soviet space. Kutuiev focuses on the internal contradictions within the Leninist model of modernization, particularly the unresolved antagonism between the rational and charismatic dimensions of political time. Central attention is given to the concept of «charismatic impersonality» as an attempt to overcome this antagonism through the party’s organizational structures. The analysis centers on the processes of institutionalizing the revolutionary subject and their impact on the nature of Soviet politics and culture. The article also presents a comparative overview of alternative Marxist interpretations of time, represented by the ideas of Trotsky, Bukharin, and Stalin. It is argued that Leninism’s inability to establish an effective mechanism for the cultural internalization of the new order became a key factor in its historical limitations.

Eurasian Invasion: An Ideology Without Borders In Krytyka, No. 3 (41), 2001, pp. 6–9.

2025-07-21T08:28:18+00:00

Irina Zhdanova's article is devoted to the problem of institutionalizing marginal imperial ideas in contemporary Russian political discourse. The author analyzes how the concept of Eurasianism, as interpreted by Alexander Duhin, is gradually losing its status as a radical ideology and gaining influence among state authorities. The study traces how Eurasian rhetoric, combining geopolitical reductionism, nationalist mythology, and occult motifs, has become a means of legitimizing Russia's neo-imperial policy toward neighboring states, primarily Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to how Ukrainian statehood is presented in Eurasian discourse not as an independent political reality, but as a geopolitical misunderstanding that needs to be «corrected». The article proves that Eurasian ideology, despite its extremist nature, is capable of integrating into official rhetoric and becoming an instrument of political mobilization. Zhdanova emphasizes that behind the apparent pragmatism of Russia's foreign policy lies a consistent strategy of ideological expansion, combining narratives of revanchism, cultural mission, and spatial fatalism.

The End of the Giedroyć Era In Krytyka, No. 10 (36), 2000, pp. 22–23.

2025-07-21T08:36:53+00:00

The material is an analytical essay by Bogumiła Berdychowska on the figure of Jerzy Giedroyć, editor of the emigration magazine Kultura, in the context of Ukrainian-Polish relations and the ideological transformation of Polish political culture. Berdykhovska focuses on the problem of the lack of international understanding within the postwar Eastern European émigré community, which necessitated the formation of a new platform for dialogue. At the center of the analysis is Giedroyć’s strategy of overcoming historical myths, internationalizing the Ukrainian question, and recognizing national borders as a precondition for a democratic future. Special attention is given to the role of Kultura in popularizing Ukrainian literature and humanistic thought among Polish readers. The text interprets Giedroyć’s editorial stance as a tool of practical ethics based on responsibility and intercultural solidarity. The essay not only outlines the intellectual scope of his work but also demonstrates its impact on shaping a new paradigm of coexistence in Eastern Europe.

Special attention is paid to the resignation of Prime Minister Viktor Yushchenko as a symptom of the crisis in the legal space. The author argues that the main problem lies not in the economy, but in the destruction of mechanisms for protecting civil rights.

The critique is primarily grounded in poststructuralism and other currents of 20th-century French philosophy.

Art and the Working Class: State Publishing House, Kyiv, 1921, 71 p.

2025-07-20T19:01:01+00:00

In the work Art and the Working Class, Olexandr Bohdanov analyzes the contradiction between the individualistic forms of bourgeois art and the need to form a collective proletarian worldview. Art is seen as part of the ideological struggle, with an organizing role for the minds, imaginations, and wills of workers. Bohdanov stresses the need to create a new type of art—collectivist in form and proletarian in content, closely linked to the labor process. He criticizes symbolism, formalism, and individualism as unsuitable for socialist society and justifies a materialistic approach to art based on his general theory of «tectology». Central to this is the conclusion about the need for aesthetic education of the masses based on collective creativity.

As stated in the publication, the translation from Russian into Ukrainian was done by T. and V., whose identities could not be established.

Conditional reflections of scientific rationalism In Krytyka, No. 1-2 (39-40), 2001, pp. 11-14.

2025-07-20T18:37:09+00:00

The article critically analyzes the work of Volodymyr Potulnytskyi Ukrainian and World Historical Science: Reflections at the Turn of the Century, which is dedicated to the problems of Ukrainian historical science. The author exposes Potulnytskyi's hegemonic approach to historiography, his simplified interpretation of Edward Said's concepts, and his state-centric vision of history. Zaiarniuk demonstrates how, under the guise of scientific objectivity, Potulnytskyi promotes his own ideology of state nationalism, defining those who disagree as "irrationalists". The work criticizes Potulnytskyi's attempts to monopolize the right to write Ukrainian history and his inaccurate understanding of contemporary theoretical concepts. In conclusion, the author warns against the negative consequences of such an approach for the development of national historical science.

The article highlights three types of fundamentalism—religious, communist, and ethnic—which share a common belief in the injustice of the existing social order.

The author remarks that the victory of fundamentalism over contemporary civilization would be the transformation of democratic societies into military camps in the face of the horror of a constant threat. In conclusion, the author emphasizes the importance of creating psychological mechanisms to overcome mass fear and consolidate democratically oriented states in the fight against fundamentalism.

Another triumph of Soviet literary studies In Krytyka, No. 5 (43), 2001, pp. 19-24.

2025-07-18T08:43:55+00:00

In this article, Oleksandr Hrytsenko examines the state of Ukrainian literary studies through the prism of an analysis of the reference book Ukrainian Literature in Portraits and References. Despite its stated goal of promoting the decolonization of Ukrainian cultural consciousness, the publication reveals a significant influence of the Soviet narrative, in particular through the uncritical reproduction of materials from the Soviet-era Ukrainian Literary Encyclopedia. In addition, the text reveals a noticeable lack of editorial care and the questionable scientific quality of some articles. Some of the authors focus not so much on a professional analysis of literary phenomena as on a pathetic proclamation of the narrative of “building the Ukrainian state,” which contradicts the principles of objective research. Hrytsenko provides a balanced critical assessment of the reference book, highlighting its content and methodological flaws, which make it difficult to perceive the publication as a full-fledged tool of modern literary studies.

A man of several epochs In Krytyka, No. 6 (32), 2000, pp. 28-31.

Holy Wars, Passion and Reason In Krytyka, No. 11 (49), 2001, pp. 4-6.

2025-07-18T10:03:44+00:00

The article is a Ukrainian translation of Umberto Eco’s publication Le guerre sante passione e ragione (2001), translated from Italian by Mariana Prokopovych. The article emphasises that political statements about the superiority of Western culture over others contradict with Western values.

The article highlights the key values of Western civilization: pluralism, as the ability to be tolerant of cultural differences, and critical thinking, as the ability to question both one's own and others' values.

The Paradoxes of Ukranian Paradoxology In Krytyka, No. 12 (26), 1999, pp. 28-30.

2025-07-18T09:40:55+00:00

The article consists of Heorhii Kasianov's review of Bohdan Kravchenko's work Social Change and National Consciousness in Ukraine in the 20th Century (Osnovy, 1997) and a response to Yaroslav Hrytsak's review of Paradoxes of Ukrainian Modernization (Krytyka, No. 11(25), 1999). The article analyzes the key structural elements of the concept of the formation of Ukrainian national consciousness as presented in Kravchenko's work. The author pays particular attention to the excessive emphasis on socio-economic factors, which, in his opinion, is a manifestation of the general shortcomings of Soviet-Marxist methodology.

In his review, he also argues with Yaroslav Hrytsak, disagreeing with his criticism of the “modernization” theory as outdated. On the contrary, the author emphasizes that this concept is a comprehensive and interesting interpretation of the process of nation formation.

Ours and not ours In Krytyka, No. 11 (61), 2002, pp. 21-22.

2025-07-18T08:52:41+00:00

The article is a polemic by Myroslav Popovych with other authors of the journal «Krytyka», particularly with Vasyl Cherepanyn, on the principles of determining national interests. The author refers to sociological literature aiming to clarify the concepts of «nation», «citizen», «civil society» to use them in his argumentation. The main idea of the article is that political and cultural conflicts arise due to differences in values. Accordingly, on author’s opinion, national interests should be viewed through the prism of the values that dominate the world, rather than putting forward the interests of individual communities. In this way, «our» interests will concern every citizen, which will allow us to overcome separateness in Ukraine and in the world at large.

The article contains reflections on the limits and needs of contemporary national culture and politics.

The Problem of the Ukrainian Intelligentsia. The Intelligentsia and Politics: Lviv, Batkivshchyna, 1936, 23 p.

2025-07-17T18:48:05+00:00

Праця присвячена осмисленню ролі української інтелігенції та її сутнісного призначення. Автор розглядає поняття «інтеліґенція» в психологічному й соціологічному вимірах, зокрема в контексті філософської концепції В’ячеслава Липинського.

На думку Липинського, інтелігенція не здатна до політики як практичної дії, а лише до творення ідеології шляхом експлуатації національної ідеї. Проти цього підходу виступає Микола Шлемкевич, який критикує розрив між політичною теорією та практикою. Натомість у праці наголошується на тому, що покликання інтелігенції – не лише артикулювати ідеологію, а й уособлювати народну волю, без чого неможливе становлення української державності.

Окрему увагу автор приділяє інтелігенції як носієві культури й ознаці цивілізаційної зрілості. У фіналі порушується питання занепаду цього прошарку, що, на думку автора, спричинений зрадою власного покликання.

Eventually, Yevhen Golovakha expresses a warning that the Communist Party may gain a popular advantage under the conditions of political instability caused by the cassette scandal. Finally, the article presents the author's pessimistic vision of Ukraine's political future, where the democratic perspective of Ukrainian society may be lost.
