The article deals with the 1911-1918 Post-impressionistic quest of Aleksandr Murashko (1875-1919), a distinguished Ukrainian painter, who went down in history of Ukrainian art as one of the founders of the national fine arts. The process of mastering the post-impressionistic experience for the first time becomes a subject matter of a separate academic research. The task of the author was to find and research Post-impressionistic artistic introspection in the genre of portrait. With the base of received results, the author had to systematize regularities of artistic tools that were in vogue during 1911-1918. The objectives posed determined the methods of the research: art critical, iconographical, biographical and comparative ones. The exploration was carried out on the base of studying archive papers and works of art from the collection of the National Art Museum of Ukraine during 2012-2018. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Author devoted her paper to the art of Yevgeniy Agafonov, an outstanding member of Kharkov (Kharkiv) cultural circles. His Kharkov years are shown against the backdrop of the overall artistic life of the city, which was one of the most important centres of art of the turn-of -the-century Ukraine and Southern part of the Russian Empire.

This paper discusses the situation of trilingualism of students at Lviv schools with Polish as the language of instruction. Earlier linguistic studies paid no attention to the individuals of non-Polish descent who attended such schools. Part one of this paper presents the profile of the examined group, which comprised, apart from persons of Polish descent, individuals of non-Polish descent, for whom Polish is a foreign language. The next part discusses the results of sociolinguistic surveys concerning the motivation for learning Polish and the level of command of the languages used by the respondents. It also presents preferences as regards the use of media and non-verbal communication. The final part describes the interviewees' attitude to the languages as well as to Poland and Ukraine. The studies were conducted using earlier research concepts regarding Polish-foreign language bilingualism by Ewa Lipińska, Władysław Miodunka, Marzena Błasiak, and Pavel Levchuk. In the description of the private-sphere language choice, William Mackey's method was applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is a selective analysis of the media of the Sorbian minority describing the war in Ukraine. The aim was to give an answer to the question of whether and how the aggression against Ukraine in 2022 was portrayed. An answer was sought to the question of whether the minority participates in helping refugees from Ukraine. How does it get involved at the local level, in its places of residence and work. An important element of the study was to demonstrate the multiple lines of action promoted in the media. The main information media of the Sorbs became a platform for rapid information about needs, risks, meetings for refugees and minorities in order to more eff ectively support Ukrainians and actively participate in their socialisation process in Lusatia in Germany.

The aim of this paper is to present the results of two questionnaires conducted among thirty-eight participants of a language course in medical Polish for people from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The first survey (conducted before the course started) covered the following issues: (1) the participants’ self-assessment of their knowledge of general as well as specialised (medical) Polish, (2) their expectations of the twenty-hour course they were to attend, (3) their linguistic awareness of the need to develop the four linguistic skills in specialised language classes. The second questionnaire focused on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the classes and participants’ own progress in learning Polish for professional purposes. The research was of a diagnostic and descriptive nature, and the findings signalled in this paper have given rise to broader reflections on the current state of research on the description of receptive and productive skills in teaching Polish as a foreign language for specific purposes.

This article aims to present the Ukrainian war refugees' experience. Twenty-one interviews focused on autobiographical memoirs of Ukrainian war refugees were collected during the field research project in Poland and Germany in the summer and autumn of 2022.

This article examines the potential risks of permanent population loss in Ukraine on account of Russian military actions dating back to 2014, which has hindered the ability of the stronghold territorial communities to recover. It outlines the context of displacement in Ukraine over the past eight years, assesses displaced people's direct needs and considers both national and local policies to meet them. Finally, it forecasts factors that will impact the reluctance of displaced persons to return to the stronghold territories and details the necessary national and local responses.

The war initiated by the Russian Federation against Ukraine in 2022 can be seen as a drastic shock event with unpredictable long-term socio-political consequences at the national, regional and global levels. This study aims to identify the impact of war-related disturbances on the dynamics of social cleavages in Ukraine, in particular the possibility of deepening or diminishing such cleavages or promoting the occurrence of new ones. For decades, the internal partition of Ukraine into East and West has been attributed to national self-identification, linguistic and religious peculiarities and the geopolitical preferences of residents of different regions. Shortly before and after the outbreak of the Russian invasion, fundamental changes in Ukrainian society and domestic politics became evident, some of which can be interpreted as signs of the mitigation of social cleavages. Our findings revealed at least two significant shifts in these 'old', traditional cleavages: one occurred after the Revolution of Dignity and the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014, and the second one is emerging now, due to the full-scale war on Ukrainian territory against the Ukrainian people. More broadly, this research aims to assess the resilience of social cleavages in the face of a shock event. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents the partial results of qualitative research focusing on the question of discrimination and different kinds of Polish-Ukrainian relationship, conducted by the author among young Ukrainian migrants, who have arrived in Krakow between 2012 and 2016. The author makes an attempt to redefine the concept of "discrimination", grounded in pre-existing works of Polish and Western social scientists, and apposes it with micro-aggression and xenophobia acts experienced by the migrants. Showing the main question in the wide context of social and political problems, as well as the author's self-reflection, the paper maps out the possible ways of building the Polish-Ukrainian relationship, contending with the stereotypes and attempts of crossing the ruling thinking schemes.

In Eastern European countries, the issue of the oligarchisation of the political system is one of the most important factors influencing the process of systemic transformation. In Ukraine, the phenomenon of oligarchisation took on the classic post-Soviet form of influencing the political elite. In Belarus, its importance is smaller and of a different character. When analysing the dynamics of the socio-political development of both republics after 1991, the vision of Ukraine without oligarchs, or inversely – Belarus with the established oligarchic system is not so obvious. The main goal of this article is to compare and evaluate the reforms and socio-political changes in Belarus and Ukraine in the context of the role played by the oligarchisation of these countries.

Against the backdrop of Turkish-Russian cooperative rivalry – an ambiguous relationship fraught with strategic competition on the one hand, and driven by cooperation in key areas (energy, defence) on the other, the article surveys the growing interdependencies between Turkey and Ukraine and seeks to answer the question whether closer bonds – political and military – between these two countries could be seen as a strategy of soft balancing against Russia. On a broader level, the article speculates on the complex nature of Turkey-Russia relations, which have become increasingly volatile, transactional, opportunistic and compartmentalized.

When viewing Polish international relations, its specific significance and the position of Ukraine in these areas ought to be highlighted. In addition to the European Union (EU) (and Germany as its crucial actor), the United States and Russia, it is Ukraine that plays a vital role in Polish international relations. In the 1990s, Polish-Ukrainian relations were considered a 'strategic partnership'. In recent years, Polish politics regarding Ukraine has been determined by history as an element of internal politics. This article emphasises the evolution of Polish politics towards post-2004 Ukraine, i.e. the period following the events known as the Orange Revolution. Elements of continuity and change (Poland as an EU member state) in the politics and difficulties in its implementation are indicated. Moreover, the complex international situation of Ukraine is discussed and the impact of these determinants upon Polish politics towards the country is outlined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ukrainian-Polish relations are formed under the conditions of changes in the system of international relations and the formation of new geopolitical orders. These relations have a long historical tradition characterised by different approaches depending on historical periods and the formation of external and internal relations in the countries. Since Ukraine regained its independence, and particularly during the two revolutions, transformational processes in Ukraine and their relations with neighbouring countries, mainly from Central and Eastern Europe, have required new approaches and meanings. Since Ukraine regained its independence, the Republic of Poland has always been a partner and lobbyist for Ukrainian interests in the international political arena. The assistance of Poland in the context of military aggression in the east of Ukraine is particulary notable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Polish-Ukrainian relations between 2015 and 2018 have been different than commonly perceived. The tangible material cooperation (military, gas trade, transport, banking, labour market and education) is being developed more rapidly than before 2015. However, the dispute over the interpretation of history creates bad atmosphere between the two countries and determines the public perception of reality. The reasons for this situation, the threats it creates and the ways out are analysed in this article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
