Notes

1. In the history of Ukraine, women’s studies became an actual field of research only in the 1990s. For a detailed overview of recent developments of women’s and gender history in Ukraine, see Oksana Kis’ 2010, and 2004: 291–302.

2. The project was conducted at the Institute of Ethnology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and was supported by a research grant from the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, University of Alberta.

3. For more information about this cross-national venture, its goals, methodology, chronology, etc. see http://www.womensmemory.net.

4. Gluck 1977: 3–13; Sangster 1994: 5–28; Gluck and Patai 1991. For a further discussion on gender differences in historical memory see Leydesdorff 1996.

5. Eight interviews in L’viv, ten in Kharkiv, and ten in Simferopil’ were recorded by the end of 2005.

6. The external questions were: (1) What does the Soviet regime mean in your life? (2) What do you think about people of various ethnicities living next to you? (3) Identify the historical events which have had the most influence on your life. (4) What is the significance of Ukrainian independence in your life? (5) What was most helpful for overcoming hardships in your life?

7. The policy of anonymity precludes the inclusion of interviewees’ personal data (including names, date and place of birth, current address, etc.). Each interview was assigned a special code: the first letter U means the country, the second (L, K, or S) indicates the city where the interview was recorded, the subsequent digits identify the interview’s number; the numbers after a dash refer to the year of recording, and the figures after the colon refer to the number of lines excerpted from the transcript.

8. In 1932–33 between 4.5 and 8.1 million Ukrainians died as a result of the famine engineered by Stalin; the year 1937 is known for mass political repressions throughout the USSR.

10. Komsomol—abbreviation for Komunisticheskyi Soiuz Molodezhi (Communist Union of Youth), the youth subdivision of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

11. Banderivka, banderivtsi are followers of Stephan Bandera (1909–1959), leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, and a key figure in Ukraine’s national liberation movement of 1930–1950. He was murdered by a KGB agent in Munich. Zapadenka, zapadentsi are people from western Ukraine. These designations are associated with the nationalist struggle against the Soviet regime, together with its Russification policy, and generally carry negative connotations. Also known as Petliurivtsi—followers of Semen Petliura (1877–1926)—Ukrainian politician, statesman, and one of the commanders in the “Directory of the Ukrainian People’s Republic,” which opposed the Bolshevik regime between 1918 and 1920.
