- W1567890501 abstract "Bohdan R. Bociurkiw. Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the Soviet State (1939-1950). Edmonton and Toronto: CIUS Press, 1996. xvi, 310 pp. Photographs. Maps. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. $39.95, cloth. Bohdan Bociurkiw dedicated his life to the study of nationalism and religion in Ukraine. It is fitting therefore that his final work would be this comprehensive analysis of the fate of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church under the Soviets. It is fortuitous for us that he lived long enough to incorporate in this book information gleaned from sources that were unavailable until the demise of the USSR. As a result, we have a study that summarizes three and a half decades of research and insight, and establishes a foundation upon which other scholars will be able to build. Bociurkiw's contribution is a true gift to the academy. No one knows the history and the documentary evidence as well as he did. As a result of his efforts scholars will have an easier time outlining the future direction of the field. Bociurkiw's mastery is evident in his first chapter, The Uniate/Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine: A Historical Introduction. Its thirty pages constitute a well written and most concise summary of the history of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church prior to the World War II. Many professors will direct their students to this solid synopsis. rest of the book delves more delicately into the struggle for survival of the Greek Catholic Church during the turbulent war and the establishment of Soviet rule in Western Ukraine. Bociurkiw's account contains extensive quotations drawn mainly from formerly secret Soviet archives. It illustrates the ongoing engagement of Soviet authorities in a two-pronged struggle with Ukrainian nationalism on the one-hand and the Greek Catholic Church on the other. One of the interesting sub-texts of Bociurkiw's account is a refutation of the anti-Uniate propaganda prepared by Soviet authors. Most noteworthy is his de-bunking of Iaroslav Halan's work of (p. 107), as are his extensive notes on the career of NKGB lieutenant-colonel cum plenipotentiary for religious affairs and propagandist-Serhii Tarasovych Danylenko (pp. 76-78). Bociurkiw's chronicling of Nikita Khrushchev's role in the demise of the Galician Church deserves the attention of Soviet history students. Thanks to Bociurkiw's research, we can better appreciate the events that influenced Sheptyts'kyi's attitude towards the Soviet authorities; Slipyi's attempt at a modus vivendi and the December 1944 Lviv delegation to Stalin; the KGB's involvement in the preparations for the Lviv Sobor of 1946; and the somewhat armslength involvement of the Orthodox hierarchy in the plans of the secret police. …" @default.
