ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the problem of the decolonization of Crimea within the context of the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war. Both authors agree that the decolonization of Crimea involves a complex intellectual challenge for Ukrainian society and for the rest of the world. For centuries Crimea was a settler colony of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. In 2014, Russia resumed its settler-colonial project by means of discrimination against the indigenous Crimean Tatar people, persecution of political prisoners, and mass resettlement of Russian citizens to the occupied territory. Since 2014, Ukraine has rediscovered Crimea and Crimean Tatars. While the general perception of Crimean Tatars has become more positive within Ukrainian society, there is still no agreement on the future of the de-occupied peninsula. While Ukrainian society generally agrees that Crimea should be an integral part of Ukraine, some of the views about Crimea’s future are rooted in the narratives produced by colonizers for the purposes of colonization. This essay shows that military de-occupation does not equal decolonization and that some complicated questions remain unanswered.

ABSTRACT Russia’s full-fledged invasion of Ukraine has brought Ukraine to the centre of academic and public attention. The fact that Ukraine did not immediately collapse surprised the global community and forced many to ask an important question: what is Ukraine? Although Ukraine received media attention worldwide during the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity, for many in “the West,” Ukraine has remained an “unexpected nation” that seems to exist only during brief periods of international media coverage. The paper argues that thinking about Ukrainian studies not as a threat to the fields of “European” and “Slavic” studies, but as an analytical category, can open up a vantage point from which scholars can critically examine epistemological hierarchies of power and inequalities in the fields.

Published before the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Dawson’s book presciently demonstrates the apolitical potency of celebrity: in 2022, even as the world was forced to confront the imperialist legacy of Catherine’s reign, a third season of Hulu’s TV series, The Great, undoubtedly laden with its usual mix of sex, obscenity, and violence performed for laughs, was being filmed for fans’ delectation. The story of Catherine the Celebrity goes on.

In applying metafiction theory to the study of the Russian novel, Vaysman has written a theoretically elegant study that enhances our understanding of realism and Russia’s unique form of it.

ABSTRACT Russia’s war on Ukraine has cast a pall on Russian studies. At North American universities and colleges, faculty have conducted forums to help students understand how this senseless war came about. Enrolment in Russian language courses is down, while interest in Polish and Ukrainian is on the rise. Russian literature and cultural history are imbued with an imperial and colonial tradition that the author seeks to decolonize in his teaching. Aleksandr Pushkin was in favour of conquering the Caucasus, while Nikolai Gogol′, a colonial outsider, negotiated his place in the empire. Russian and Western histories pay little attention to Ukraine, and that needs correction. Kyivan Rus needs to be treated as a state in its own right. Reconciliation between Russia and Ukraine will have to be based on Russia’s recognition of Ukraine as a separate and independent state. Russian studies need to be decolonized, and, following Canada’s lead, US institutions should develop Ukrainian studies.

This criticism notwithstanding, with Culture from the Slums Hayton has provided a rich interpretation of German punk, one that will surely prove to be an invaluable resource not only for scholars of German punk but also for those interested in the history of divided Germany and in the relationship between subcultures and historical change more broadly.

popular press assimilated aspects of Western publications and culture once thought corrupting, not entirely unlike the Polish state’s adoption and adaptation of Western values thought to be incompatible with Polish identity. Stańczyk’s engaging defence of Polish comics concludes that “[c]omics and debates surrounding comics have featured prominently in the reconfiguration of the nation as [. . .] interrelated categories of citizenship, state building, and personal/ collective identity have all played a role in these processes” (166). Comics studies do not appeal to all readers and may be alienating to those unfamiliar with the discipline and its source material. Stańczyk avoids this problem. As much as the book is an analysis of Polish comics culture, it is a history of the Polish state and a study of its people, particularly children, and culture. Grounding the history of Polish comics within that of the nation itself, Stańczyk points to the relative indivisibility of popular culture and national identity. In addition, Stańczyk foregrounds transnational influences concurrently shaping Poland and Polish comics since the First World War despite (or in spite) of domestic politics and culture. Of course, comics were not responsible for the Communist regime or the collapse of that regime in the late 1980s. Nor does Stańczyk make such a claim. But comics, both foreign and domestic, influenced the politics of those periods and helped shape Polish society. Comics and Nation capably demonstrates Polish fears of cultural invasion, corruption, and antiAmericanism through comics even as foreign comics and manga spawned domestic imitators that became cultural touchstones of the emerging Polish nation and comic book scene.

In addition, the book covers a diverse and impressive range of artistic, political, and religious topics across a broad time span. However, no one edited collection can cover all relevant topics related to Eastern Christianity in the Habsburg monarchy, so we may hope that subsequent volumes will expand on what has been started in Eastern Christians in the Habsburg Monarchy.
