CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS — A CALL FOR INCLUSIVENESS, EQUITY AND FAIRNESS
Featured Article
The CMHR represents a unique opportunity for Canada to be recognized as a leader in reflecting and further advancing contemporary research on genocide and human rights and in telling the story of all genocides without any attempt to represent the suffering of one nation, tribe or community as having been of more relevance or importance than any other’s. All attempts to do so argue fundamentally do an injustice to the memory of the many millions of victims of genocide throughout the ages, whether they suffered in Europe, or somewhere else.
How did Canada get its name? Most Canadians, if asked about the origins of the name “Canada”, will admittedly lament their ignorance of that part of Canadian history. Of those that do remember, they might even recall the “official” version of how Canada got its name, the one they received from the TV commercial “A Part Of Our Heritage – Canada.” After all, ...

Pylyp Orlyk was born on October 11, 1672 in Kosuta (modern day Belarus) and died on May 26, 1742 in Iaşi (modern day Romania). He was a Zaporozhian Cossack officer, Hetman in exile, diplomat, and secretary to and close associate of Hetman Ivan Mazepa. Pylyp Orlyk first studied at the Jesuit college in Vilnius, Lithuania and until 1694 at the Kyiv Mohyla Academy. In 1699 he became a senior member of Hetman Ivan Mazepa's General Military Chancellery and in 1706 was appointed general chancellor. At that position, he was Mazepa's closest aide, facilitated Mazepa's secret correspondence with the Poles and Swedes, and assisted Mazepa in his efforts to form an anti-Russian coalition. After the Battle of Poltava in 1709, he fled together with Hetman Ivan Mazepa and King Charles XII of Sweden to Bender in the Principality of Moldavia, where Mazepa soon died. Pylyp Orlyk was then chosen by the Ukrainian Cossacks as their Hetman in exile. While in Bender, he wrote the first state constitution in Europe, known as the Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk or the Bendery Constitution.
Michael K. Faught wants to fill in the gaps in the story of the earliest Americans.
The Clovis theory of how the Americas were populated is that migrating big game hunters walked from Asia to Alaska, followed an ice-free corridor through Canada and then chased mastodons, giant sloths and other animals across the continent and into extinction. But scientists working in both Canada and Brazil have uncovered evidence that is inconsistent with the Clovis timeline. Faught agrees with others who propose that when an ice-free corridor did allow access to the interior there were people already on the landscape. Thus there may be more than one kind of Paleo-Indian and they may have come from more than one direction.
The first people to arrive in America are identified by the fluted (grooved at the base) projectile points they made and first found near Clovis, New ...
Jewish battalion in Ukrainian Galician Army
Jewish soldiers in the struggle for a Ukrainian state
By Sviatoslav LYPOVETSKY
The relationships between Ukrainians and Jews have had many examples of both cooperation and misunderstandings, which left an imprint on people’s memory and have survived in our present views. Yet the history of the Jewish Battalion in the Ukrainian Galician Army (UGA) still remains unknown even now, 90 years after it was formed, although the formation of this unit should be taken as a model of interethnic understanding.
THE PHENOMENON OF GALICIAN JEWRY
Speaking of the historical context of Ukrainian-Jewish relationships and their special features in Galicia, one should point out at once that this part of the Ukrainian lands has never seen such a steep escalation of conflicts as in Left- and Right-Bank Ukraine in the times of Bohdan ...
‘There will be no forgiveness’
by James Marson, Kyiv Post, Staff Writer
Thousands came to the Bykivnya mass grave northeast of Kyiv on May 17 to remember an estimated 100,000 victims of Stalin’s repressions.
Late at night at the end of the 1930s, tram number 23 would rattle its way from Kyiv to Brovary with a grim cargo on board: dead bodies. Victims of the NKVD, the predecessor of the KGB, they were on the way to be tossed into mass graves at Bykivnya forest.
On May 17, several thousand people gathered at the memorial center in the forest to mark Ukraine’s Day of Remembrance for Victims of Political Repression and remember those destroyed by the Soviet machine.
“Here, at Bykivnya, Stalin and his monstrous hangmen killed the bloom of Ukraine,” said President Victor Yushchenko in a speech at the event. “There is no ...
A voice must be given to those millions forgotten by the world, who perished, and whose personal stories were silenced for decades. It is in the fields of Ukraine where Europe’s breadbasket is found, and it is in the same fields where millions of Ukrainians now rest. The Flag of Ukraine – with its brilliant blue of the surrounding sky, and the golden yellow of the bountiful wheat fields below, should remain an epitaph for the triumph and will of a people, who overcame adversity, and found freedom. Their story must be told.
One recurring question in Holodomor discourse is "So why didn't Ukrainians fight back?" when they in fact did: forced collectivization began in 1928 with Stalin's first five year command economy performance plan.In 1930, more than 4,000 uprisings, involving 1.2 million villagers, took place throughout Soviet Ukraine according to Ukraine's Institute of National Memory. After five years, the population was physically exhausted and 1932-33 was easy pickings for armed GPU (State Political Administration) cavalry and infantry units that isolated farms, entire districts into starvation by taking everything that was left – including sowing seeds.

SOVIET GENOCIDE IN UKRAINE
The Kyivan Academy and its Impact on the Establishment of Higher Education in Imperial Russia
by Ihor Cap
For Ukrainians, science and culture flourished under the leadership of academicians of the Kyiv Mohyla Academy, which obtained its status as an Academy in 1658 (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyiv_Mohyla_Academy ). Its impact on the establishment of higher learning and Ukrainian consciousness is certain. Its role in the establishment of higher education in Imperial Russia is also convincing.
