In the 20th century, Ukraine has gone through a series of revolutions: in 1917/22, 1932/39, 1945/49, 1953/56, 1989/91; however instead leading to modernization, they had – after shortlived progresses – the reverse effect. In my lecture I will review the logic of socio-political experimentation in 20th century Ukraine and the revolutionary practices in Eastern Europe.18:45-19:30 Discussion19:30-21:00 Reception12.12.17 (09:30-18:00) Workshop 'The Ukrainian Experiment: State-Building in Practice (1917-22)' 09:30–10:00 Welcome / Introduction (Jochen Böhler, Jena/Paris, François Xavier Nerard, Paris)10:00–11:00 Panel 1: The Look 'from Above' and 'from Below' (Chair: Mikhail Minnakov, Frankfurt on the Oder/Kiev) Iryna Vushko (New York): Ukrainian Nationalism and State Building Dimitri Tolkatsch (Freiburg): The Ukrainian Peasants and State Building Discussion11:00–11:30 Coffee/tea break11:30–12:30 Panel 2: 'The Left' (Chair: François Xavier Nerard, Paris) Serhiy Hirik (Kiev): The Borotbists and Ukrainian State Building Eric Aunoble (Geneva): Constructing a Revolutionary State.
