Kasperovych Halyna. Ukrainians in the Republic of Belarus: An Ethnodemographic Aspect. The Ukrainians live
in Belarus at all stages of its ethnic history. According to the census in Belarus in 2009, 158,723 Ukrainians lived, representing
1.7 % of the country’s total population. Their greatest strength is noted in Brest and Homel regions, which are ones bordering
on Ukraine, as well as in Minsk. Over the past 50 years, the population size evolution of the Ukrainians in Belarus has been
uneven. From 1959 to 1989, there was intensive growth of their number. From 1989 to 2009, the quantity of Ukrainian ethnic
group decreased by 1.8. The reason of this trend was the political and socialeconomic transformations, the negative situation
in the demographic reproduction.
By percentage of migratory turnover of Belarus, Ukraine ranks second following Russia. As the status of borders changed,
the frontier (economic, commercial, cultural, labour) migration intensified as well.
The important factor of the changes in number of the Ukrainians in Belarus is ethnic processes. Every third respondent
Ukrainian (2007) identifies himself as a representative of his nation (31.8 %). Meanwhile, in ethnic identity of the Ukrainians,
there is clearly marked an orientation toward communion with Belarus and its people (36.4% of all respondents).
The multiplicity of ethnic identification often occurs in interethnic families. The attitude of the Belarusians, Russians
and other ethnic communities to the Ukrainians as a nation is characterized by amicability. The Ukrainians, according to
respondents, are notable fo positive qualities – kindness, friendliness, diligence, hospitality, generosity, and thrift.
According to the census of the Republic of Belarus in 1999, 42.9 % of the Ukrainians in Belarus called Ukrainian
their native language. The analysis of linguistic situation at the regional level showed that the value of native language for the
Ukrainians is higher in the areas adjacent to Ukraine, and in the localities of their compact residence, especially in rural areas.
According to the 2009 census, 29.2 % of the Ukrainians called Ukrainian their native language, which is almost 14 points
lower than in 1999. The focus on native Belarusian language decreased, and the status of the Russian language as their mother
tongue significantly rose.
One of the factors influencing the consolidation of Ukrainian identity is the presence of specific identification institutions –
the Ukrainian public organizations. There are four Ukrainian organizations registered in Belarus: Belarusian Public Association
of the Ukrainians Vatra having 7 branches; urban cultural and educational public association of the Ukrainians Barvinok
(Hrodno); NGO Center of Ukrainian Culture «Sich» (Minsk); and Public Association of the Ukrainians and scientific
paedagogical union Berehynia (Brest), which all contribute to preservation and development of Ukrainian culture. There are
some Sunday schools, courses to study Ukrainian language, activities and amateur workshops affiliated to those organizations.
They participate in different meetings devoted to the prominent figures of Ukrainian culture. There are historical sections
working there, and there has been initiated the construction of monuments to Taras Shevchenko in Minsk, Brest, Mohyliov
and Homel.
Keywords: Ukrainians in Belarus, diaspora, ethnic community, migrations, natural movement, marriage rate, sex and age
structure, ethnic identity.
Skazhenyk Marharyta. Spring Rites and Melodies of the Ubort River Basin: A Geographical Dimension. The
article presents the results of researching the Central Polissia vernal traditions localized along the Ubort River basin. The
Ubort River flows through the territories of four administrative districts: Yemilchyne and Olevsk districts of Zhytomyr Region
of Ukraine, and Lelchitsy and neighboring southern villages of Petrykiv districts of Homel Region of Belarus). The frontal
observation of this area (over 100 villages), by method of continuous research (from village to village), has been conducted
by the specialists in ethnomusicology Iryna Klymenko, Yevhen Yefremov, and Marharyta Skazhenyk (author of this article)
through 1994–2011.
Within the Ubort River basin, there are distinguished two local opposition vernal traditions, each of which having its own
set of features: original ritual actions; song genres; their distinctive names; and melodic and structural characteristics of tunes.
On the lower reaches of the Ubort (Lelchytsi and Petrykiv districts), the vernal ritual season started predominantly on
Candlemas (Feb. 15) with a rite of hailing the Spring (hukaty Vesnu): decoration of ritual fir tree; making the round of
haystacks in the swamps (odionky); and ritual burning of old wooden things. During the rite, people sang the spring invocatory
songs (zaklychky) – songs of ternary system with the verse structure 5+4 or the invocatory songs with a verse on the basis of
double iambus. On this territory, widespread are also round dances and Lenten (postovi) songs of religious content.
On the upper and middle Ubort (Yemilchyne and Olevsk districts), the vernal ritual season began with the Annunciation
Day (Apr. 7), when it was allowed to loudly sing spring songs (vesnianky) outdoors. In tradition of most villages, singing the
spring songs remains to be a basic ritual element (crucial are the melodies with the verse structure 5+5). In only few villages,
there was a success to record the reminiscences about former early spring rites, namely ritual burning of last year’s straw.
Each of the distinguished areas is subdivided into several small local musical traditions. These traditions have some similar
characteristics: (1) common ritual and ethnographic context (certain forms of holding the rites may differ as it is typical of the
northern area); (2) a set of song genres; and (3) the presence of a common (dominant) melodic type. Therewith, the main

differences among small local song traditions consist in variants of combinations of rhythmic types (by polymelodic mounting
in the repertoire of vernal season), as well as in pitch of solution of dominant (main) rhythmic type. This is a feature of musical
thinking at the level of small local tradition.
Keywords: Central Polissia, spring rites, zaklychky (spring invocatory songs), vesnianky (spring songs), khorovodni
(round dance) and ihrovi (playing) spring songs, Lenten songs, melogeography, local song traditions.
Zahnitko Anatoliy. National and Linguistic Challenges to a Modern Humanitarian Scientist. The modern war
of languages is characterized by the features determined by the modifications of social space’s informational content. The
language war appears to be one of the manifestations of intolerance – national, corporate, personal, etc. Adherence to the
principles of language tolerance is derivative of keeping to national respect concept. The modern Ukrainian realities are based on
continuity of the past which does not allow making a free step towards the innerstate dialogue among all nations and nationalities
for adjustment. The past contains a deep memory of selfrealization.
In modern linguistic and psychological war on certain Ukrainian territories, there are used various ways of diluting
the nationalUkrainian that is the aim of total withdrawal of Ukrainian language from all levels of educational, scientific,
administrative, military, legislativenormative, statebuilding and other spheres. At the same time, the constant intrusion of
Ukrainian inferiority, secondariness thesis and the propagation of the thesis about Russian superiority, historical long standing
or even primacy are aimed to firmly establish the only correct opinion in the society – the impossibility of forward motion
without mastering of Russian language.
The mission of the declared programme The Ukraine-Rus World (The Ukrainian World) is the promotion of the integrity of
the Ukrainian State and the originality of its nationallinguistic wealth through the strengthening of innerstate connections among
different regions and the prestigeraising of all the Ukrainian nationalcultural space’s components. The main dimension of The
Ukraine-Rus World programme is motivated by uniqueness of combination of the languages and cultures in the Ukrainian space,
historical heredity of traditions of the languages and cultures’ coexistence, accumulation of common values, traditions, customs,
while it aims at furthering the national and cultural wealth in the research, historical, theatremusic and other aspects.
Today the principal role in uniting all the Ukrainian areas belongs to Ukrainian language as a consolidating and state
centripetal one. There are no different Ukraines in Ukraine – the national values are identical in all the state corners.
Keywords: national and linguistic formation, linguistic strategy, linguistic aggression, national and language challenge.
Oliynyk Maryna. Manifestation of Ukrainian Identification in Urban Clothes (By the Example of Living of the
Drahomanov and Kosach Families). The paper considers the clothes as an ethnocultural marker of urban living of the
Ukrainian ethnic group representatives in the mid to late XIXth – early XXth centuries. The materials evidencing the life of
the Drahomanov and Kosach families have been taken as the sources. Both the families are known as the centres of development
and propagation of Ukrainian idea which, particularly, required its external manifestation in clothing. Due to specifics of the
issue, the investigation was based primarily on studying the photographs of the related period for interpretation of which the
written and object materials were used. It is found that about 100 of over 600 examined pictures contain the information about
use of attire with the Ukrainian identity. So, 29 of 89 shots involved as the direct objects of the study display the children’s
garments, 36 – women’s clothes, 15 – men’s clothes, 9 – modernized versions of application of the elements of Ukrainian
costume and its new interpretations in the context of the then fashion. There is also a consideration of the phenomenon of
diffusion of traditional attire into urban cultural field, along with the stages and features of its behaviour. At the first stage, the
adepts of the new status of folk costumes in urban conditions were the representatives of conscious intelligentsia. For symbolic
expression of their national identity, they used the traditional attire, as it was recorded on the photographsmanifestos. The
second step was an adaptation of the elements of folk costume to urban conditions as home and everyday clothes. It is ascertained
that this process had the different features for men’s, women’s and children’s clothes. At the third phase, there was created a new
fashionable design of clothes inspired by traditional Ukrainian costume.
Keywords: Ukrainian identification, urban clothes, European costume, traditional garment, folk attire, the Drahomanovs,
the Kosachs.
Braychenko Olena. Existence of Ukrainian Traditional Holidays of Family Cycle under the Pressure of Soviet
Ideology in the 1970s–1980s. The family celebrations, various festivities, and folk festivals – all play an important role in
the life of any community. They reach their source in the ancient times of pagan ceremonies and rituals, and therefore are replete
with sacral meaning; and more importantly, notwithstanding, the historical changes have been preserved in societies.
The Ukrainian traditional family festivities, being an important component of shaping and supporting collective
consciousness, played a significant symbolic role. The complicated festive and ritualistic phenomena have a number of functions:
supporting communication; being a method of physical and psychological relief (catharsis), an integrative role that is crucial
in defining the cultural identity of society; setting standards of law, moral values and ethics; shaping the social consciousness.
The government and the state apparatus had a good understanding of role and significance of various celebrations in the life
http://www.etnolog.org.ua
140
of society and individual, and hence ultimately tried to exploit these elements as a means of satisfying their own needs. The
political system of the 1970s–1980s supported and obliged people to conform to the festivities that would reinforce the regime
and the implemented values while marginalizing those that disagreed with the latter. In such conditions, the celebrations became
an instrument of manipulation in supporting the Soviet ideology. It is important to acknowledge that this sort of unceremonious
government intrusion into life of individuals and propaganda of the right kind of festivities, the special anniversaries, and etc.
always had and will always have destructive consequences for ethnic culture totally depriving it of the right of selfdetermination.
The traditional family holidays in the 1970s–1980s underwent the changes and were expanded with new festivities. The
rituals related to reaching important stages in life such as birth, wedding, death remained immutable. The increased ideological
pressure during this era was targeted at false internationalization, russification of the Soviet society, and this resulted directly in
the downfall of the Ukrainian traditional culture and the loss of numerous components of family rites and rituals.
Keywords: Soviet holidays and rituals, traditional culture, treansformations of ethnoculture, wedding, christening,
exequies.
