The Ukrainophile Household: Private Life and Politics in Late Imperial Kiev

 

Description/abstract:

 

This paper is a section from the first chapter draft of the author’s dissertation. The author is trying to write a micro-history of Russian and Ukrainian nationalism in Kiev (1860s to the Civil War) through the lens of a family history. The author focuses on the Shul’gins/Shul’hyns – a dynasty of journalists, historians, and politicians whose members were involved in the creation of both the city’s Russian and Ukrainian nationalist movements. The paper deals with the family’s Ukrainophile branch and their milieu in the years around 1900.
