About Lysiak-Rudnytsky
The Programme is named after Ivan Lysiak-Rudnytsky (1919-1984), an American/Canadian historian of Ukrainian descent. A public intellectual, Lysiak-Rudnytsky made a significant contribution to the development of Ukrainian Studies abroad. As early as the 1950s, he pointed to the shortcomings of the Russian-centric approach to Eastern European history that prevailed in North America. Emphasizing the multiethnic nature of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, he singled out Ukrainian context and the Ukrainian perspective regarding the events of the past. His numerous essays on Ukrainian political and intellectual history have had a significant impact on the formation of modern Ukrainian historiography.
