Beskrivning

Propaganda in Revolutionary Ukraine is a survey of domestic government and party printed propaganda in revolutionary Ukraine. It is the first account in English to study these materials using an illustrative sample of printed texts and to assess their impact based on secret police and agitator situation reports.The book surveys texts published by the Central Rada, the Ukrainian State, the Ukrainian National Republic, the Ukrainian Socialist Revolutionary Party, the Ukrainian Social Democratic and Labour Party, the Independentists, Ukrainian Communist Party (UCP), Ukraine’s Bolshevik Party (CPU), and anti-Bolshevik warlords. It includes 46 reproductions and describes the infrastructure that underlay the production and dissemination of printed text propaganda. The author argues that in the war of words neither Ukrainian failures nor Bolshevik success should be exaggerated. Each side managed to sway opinion in its favour in specific places at specific times.

Recensioner i media

"Velychenko’s book is a valuable contribution to the multi-faceted research on the Ukrainian revolutions. It could be productively used for comparisons of the Ukrainian situation with the other ‘national peripheries’ of the former Russian Empire, for transnational study of propaganda in inter-war Europe, or for in-depth local studies of particular Ukrainian cities, towns, and villages during the revolutionary turmoil."- Andrii Portnov, European University Viadrina (Slavic Review) "This book presents the fullest account to date of the propaganda efforts on Ukraine’s territory during the civil war period."- Olena Palko, Birbeck, University of London (European History Quarterly) "Velychenko’s publication is a timely and informative contribution to the study of propaganda produced in Ukraine during the revolutionary and civil war years. Providing invaluable data for the historiography of the Ukrainian nation- and statehood construction, it calls for further sociohistorical and cultural contextualization of the competing propaganda efforts."- Katia Denysova, Courtauld Institute of Art (H-SHERA) "Ladygina presents a meticulously researched and engaging reading of Kobylians'ka’s prose, addressing how ideas on the broad topics of comparative feminism, Nietzscheanism, modernism, and even fascism found expression in Kobylians'ka’s short stories and novels at different stages in her life."- Svitlana (Lana) Krys, MacEwan University (East/West: Journal of Ukrainian Studies) "This is a work of considerable value to scholars with an interest in revolutionary politics and mass media, and these minor criticisms should not detract from its merits. It richly illustrates the extraordinary challenges of spreading information and winning political support in revolutionary Ukraine, and how these challenges were met by the succession of governments and parties that vied for power in the former imperial borderlands."- Mollie Arbuthnot (Ab Imperio)
