Discussant

George G. Grabowicz (Shevchenko Scientific Society/ Harvard University)
XLV Annual Taras Shevchenko Scholarly Conference
Ivan Almes (Ukrainian Catholic University)

The presentation focuses on the concept and publishing series Kyivan Christianity, which aims to reconceptualize the religious history (and broader cultural history) of Central and Eastern Europe from Kyiv’s perspective. During the event, the historian from Lviv will present the research project implemented at UCU since 2012, which has resulted in a 40-volume series published by UCU Press and aims to release 100 volumes. At the very heart of such research stands Kyiv as a religious center, not Rome, Constantinople, or Moscow. From Kyiv, the culture was spread to the north (up to the territory of Courland – modern Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia), to the south (Slavo-Vlachia – modern Moldova and Northern Romania), to the west (Peremyshl and Mukachevo eparchies), and to the East (for example, the Bilhorod eparchy). This tradition or culture has been preserved not only in visible forms such as St. Sophia Cathedral, but also in narratives, images, songs, architecture, etc, investigated by researchers from the perspective of Kyiv.

 

Ivan Almes is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the Ukrainian Catholic University, where he also serves as Director of the Ihor Skochylias Center for Religious Culture and Coordinator of the research program Kyivan Christianity. He is the editor-in-chief of the Kyivan Christianity publishing series, issued by UCU Press. Almes has co-organized several international scholar conferences in Rome: in 2021 on the Zamość Sobor; in 2023 on St Josaphat Kuntsevych; and in 2024 on Kyivan Metropolitan Yosyf Veliamyn Rutsky. His most recent volume is In Search of Centres: Early Modern Kyivan Christianities (co-edited with Svitlana Potapenko, Oksana Prokopyuk, Vitalii Tkachuk, and Valerii Zema; Böhlau Verlag, Cologne, 2026). Currently, he is a visiting scholar at the Nanovic Institute of European History at the University of Notre Dame, IN.
“Kyivan Christianity”: The New Concept of Early Modern Religious History of Central and E. Europe
Tetyana Dzyadevych (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)<br /><br />One of the most significant global consequences of the Russian war against Ukraine is the threat of ecological catastrophe posed by nuclear disaster. In February 2022, as Russian military troops crossed the Ukrainian border from Belarus and occupied the Chornobyl nuclear power station, the haunting memories of the 1986 disaster resurfaced. In that year, the world learned that atomic energy, which was once viewed as a peaceful alternative, could be just as dangerous as nuclear weapons. With the occupation of both the Chornobyl and Zaporizhzhia nuclear sites— the latter being the largest in Europe and among the ten biggest atomic stations in the world—fears of a global nuclear catastrophe emerged from a repressed collective memory.<br /><br />Tetyana Dzyadevych is a researcher, commentator, and analyst of modern Ukrainian and Russian culture and literature. She was born and raised in Kyiv, Ukraine. Tetyana received her education in Europe and the USA. Dr. Dzyadevych holds two PhD degrees: one from Maria Curie-Sklodowska University of Lublin in Poland, and the other from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Dr. Dzyadevych has multiple publications on Slavic romanticism, modernism, and late Soviet and post-Soviet literature and culture. Her most current publication is Nostalgia, Anxiety, Politics: Media and Performing Arts, from Egypt to Central-Eastern Europe, Including Russia (2025). She is currently working on her monograph, “Voices of Political Revival in Post-Soviet Russian and Ukrainian Cultural Field.” In the US, she worked at UIC, New College of Florida, and Grinnell College and held a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University’s Davis Center. In the fall of 2024, she joined the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
