Omeljan Pritsak and the Intellectual Origins of the Ukrainian "Harvard Miracle"
By Andrii Portnov
The history of “Ukrainian Harvard” began even before Pritsak’s arrival in the United States. As early as 1953, at a meeting at Columbia University, the Federation of Ukrainian Student Organizations of America was formed, bringing together more than 600 students from about 50 universities.[8] The following year, the Ukrainian Student Foundation was established, and, in 1957, the Ukrainian Studies Chair Fund, widely known as the Fond katedr ukraїnoznavstva (FKU), was created. It managed to raise $250,000 US dollars by 1967. Student initiative played a decisive role in the first stage. Pritsak’s motivation and authority later galvanized that movement.
David and Goliath
By Serhii Plokhy
The war in Ukraine is the latest chapter in the more than century-long disintegration of the Russian Empire and Russian efforts to arrest and reverse that process. During the Russian Revolution, Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks managed to unite under their control most of the imperial Russian territories that had fallen away toward the end of World War I. Not only had Poland, Finland, and the Baltic states declared their independence in the course of the revolution, but so had Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and other parts of the former empire.

Dniprovia: Why You Can't Get Russian Early Modern Cultural History Right unless You Get Ruthenian Cultural History Right First
Edward L. Keenan | Published in Volume 39 (Number 1–2), 2022 (Pages 13-33)
In the interests of full disclosure let me declare at the start that I am neither Ukrainian nor Belarusian by descent, and am not, so far as I know, related by blood or marriage to anyone who is.
