A peasant society in transition: Ukrainian peasants in five East Galician counties: 1880-1900Hryniuk, Stella M. 08 May 2013 (has links)
While late nineteenth century Galicia has been the subject of
attention of many writers, past literature about East Galicia has
generally given a limited and at times distorted picture of this region.
It has rarely been treated separately, and generalizations about its
society have been made, and perpetuated, on the basis of erroneous data
or inadequate and/or unsystematic study of the sources. The picture
which has emerged has been of a people living in extremes of political
and socio-economic deprivation; particularly pervasive has been the view
that material poverty was a general feature of that society.
This dissertation challenged the accepted interpretations through
an examination of some aspects of East Galicia, specifically focussing
on the Ukrainian peasantry in five Southern Podillian counties.
Contrary to the received version of its history there were evident signs
of change and improvement. In the area of education, there were more
elementary schools, more teachers, and the teaching of a more varied and
modern curriculum; greater activities of the Ukrainian enlightenment
societies; a growing popular didactic press and a large increase in the
number of reading clubs. All of these contributed to substantial
improvements in literacy and an expanded knowledge base for that society.
The effect was most evident in the agricultural sector, the main source of
income for the population. Average sizes of landholdings were not in any
case as small as has been supposed. Significant improvements in yields of
cereal grains and other field crops were achieved. Also there was a movement
towards production of other commercial crops. Particularly significant
was the increased attention devoted to animal husbandry by the
smallholding peasants. Expansion of agricultural education contributed to
the general improvement in agricultural productivity; particularly notable
is the fact that larger numbers and better quality animals were being
raised by the peasantry of the region. Better marketing opportunities
were made available to the population of the region due to advances in
communications, particularly railways. A wider network of maintained
roads provided greater and easier access to both the major road and rail
connections to other regions of Galicia and Europe.
Dissemination of more health information and better nutrition
contributed to increased quality and length of life. Mortality rates
dropped, and major diseases, specifically cholera and smallpox, were
more effectively contained. Along with adaptations to material changes
in their environment, there came a perceptible change in attitudes on
the part of the people of Southern Podillia. Even while traditional
attachment to the Greek Catholic church and to communal self-reliance
remained, there was a growing acceptance of innovative activities such
as the establishment of consumer and producer cooperatives, fire
insurance and communal credit associations. Especially proninent was
the appearance of political awareness, particularly in respect of local
political affairs. With increased knowledge and awareness came
greater self-confidence and risk-taking, and an increased sense
of control on the part of the peasantry over their own lives - in short,
attributes of a modernizing population. Taken together, these
developments show that Southern Podillian society was undergoing a
transition from a static, subsistence-based society motivated by
traditional behavior patterns, to a more mobile, forward-looking
society. Many problems remained, but the legacy of the past historical
interpretations of this society can no longer be sustained.

Integrace Ukrajinců v Českých Budějovicích / Integration of the Ukrainians in the České BudějoviceŠILLEROVÁ, Veronika January 2015 (has links)
The diploma thesis is named Integration of Ukrainians in České Budějovice. The first chapter explains the basic concepts related to the topic of integration of foreigners, such as migration, immigrant or refugee. The second section refers to the concept of integration, which is defined in detail. The third chapter describes the integration policy in the Czech Republic. The fourth chapter is dedicated to legislation and two basic laws governing this issue. The fifth chapter concerns foreigners in the Czech Republic in terms of numbers and statistics and sixth chapter includes basic characteristic of Ukrainian immigrants in the country. The last chapter is devoted to organizations aimed at helping foreigners in the České Budějovice. The aim is to find out what the positives and negatives are in the integration of Ukrainians in the České Budějovice. They were provided the following two research questions: 1. What are the positives and negatives in the integration of Ukrainians living in the České Budějovice? 2. Do Ukrainians attend some organization focused on helping foreigners in the České Budějovice? Results related to the first research question revealed some positives and negatives that occur in the integration of Ukrainians in the České Budějovice. The main negatives were revealed in language skills - Problems with the pronunciation of certain letters (ř), incomprehensibility of laws and more technical texts, writing diacritics over letters or filling out forms. The interviews revealed some positives. For example, what can helps informants or could help the negatives be reduced or removed. They do not recommend settling down only with Ukrainians, but should find Czech friends and communicate with them and participate in the work process. It also helps to watch Czech TV and listen to radio. In the field of economic and social self-sufficiency, I focused on two areas - Employment and housing. In the field of employment there exist several serious problems. For the vast majority of informants their job does not correspond to the education acquired in the Ukraine. It is connected with young immigrants with university degree, who try to get a job. They met with discrimination at the interview because of their origin. The positive thing is the less-educated immigrants do not find it difficult to get a job and that all the informants are also satisfied with the salary. Several negatives were also shown in the housing sector, but informants were not talking about their own experiences, but the experiences of their friends. These are mainly problems with landlords who refuse to issue a certificate of accommodation for immigrants from the Ukraine. Informants are satisfied with their housing, and they say that is not a problem for them to get adequate housing, which are clear positives. According to informants in the field of society and culture is a major downside of poor orientation of immigrants in the law, in rights and duties and employee access at offices. Culture is, according to them, similar, but they see major differences on important matters such as the family and family life, how they lead children to education and they do not like celebrating festivals at a different time. Another part of research were relations between the majority and the minority. Negatives also occur in the form of shyness in Ukrainians when making conversation with Czechs, they also bothers them little activity from the government to promote good relations between nations and the lack of interest of the Czechs in establishing conversations and friendly relations with Ukrainians. Positives could be a multicultural event that the government could organize to improve relations between Czechs and other cultures and promoting inter-cultural education in elementary schools. The second research question concerns the organizations that are trying to help them. It turned out, immigrants do know about these organizations they do not attend them that much.
