• W1594092253 abstract "Michael Palij. Ukrainian-Polish Defensive Alliance, 1919-1921: An Aspect of the Ukrainian Revolution. Edmonton and Toronto: Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies Press, 1995. viii, 391 pp. Notes. Bibliography. Index. $44.95, cloth. Perhaps, the clearest evidence of Michael Palij's admirable efforts to reconstruct Ukrainian-Polish relations during the revolutionary period is the fact that the endnotes, bibliography and index compose almost half of his book. In that not too distant past, difficult for the younger historians to recall, when Ukrainian and Polish archives were closed to foreigners, Palij did almost all imaginable to get around the silent archives, compiling an exhaustive list of published sources on his topic. Thus, his finished work is not only the first attempt at a comprehensive history of the Petliura-Pilsudski alliance and will also serve as a great bibliographic resource on many aspects of the Ukrainian Revolution and Ukrainian-Polish relations in particular. Unfortunately, Palij's very thorough research is the most laudable aspect of this book. Palij understands the revolutionary period which followed the collapse of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires exclusively as a clash amongst nations: The renascence of Russian power threatened both and Poland; hence, the more farsighted leaders of those nations realized that only by combining forces could they resist occupation by Soviet Ukrainian-Polish political collaboration culminated in the Ukrainian-Polish alliance of 1920 (p. 1). Even though he discusses at various points in his story the conflicts amongst the political leaders of both nations-Petliura vs. Vynnychenko and Pilsudski vs. Dmowski-Palij holds fast to the idea that the agreement between Petliura and Pilsudski was The Ukrainian-Polish Alliance. While such an approach may have been understandable at a time when many Ukrainians were struggling for a truly independent state, this reviewer hopes that we, as Ukrainian historians, can now move beyond such a narrow framework. For especially in the revolutionary period in Ukraine, there was so much more going on besides The National Struggle: Reds, Greens, Whites, anarchists, SRs, peasants, tiny village republics, violence, anarchy and Jewish pogroms, to name a few. By focusing on those self-proclaimed national leaders, Petliura and Pilsudski, Palij pushes aside all of those other individuals, ideas and movements, competing for people's allegiance, so that we read only about Ukraine and Poland versus Russia. This approach ignores the overwhelming majority of the populations of all these nations. I take as the example I know best. As recent research on the civil war has shown (i.e., Graziosi, Brovkin), throughout this period most of the inhabitants of did not consider their choices only between Ukraine and Russia. In fact, it is even questionable that most of the inhabitants, who were after all illiterate peasants, thought in national terms at all. Having spent the past two years researching the countryside in during this period, I could provide reams of evidence to support the contention that during this tumultuous period most peasants were concerned above all with their own plots of land and obtaining more of them. …" @default.
