"Ukraine's 'Orange Revolution' and its aftermath exposed some of the deep political, social, and cultural rifts running through the former Soviet republic. This book explores the intersection of these divisions in Odessa, a Black Sea port in Ukraine that was once the Russian Empire's southern window to Europe. Odessans view their city as a cosmopolitan place with close ties to Russia and the world despite the state's attempt to generate feelings of national belonging. Odessans' sense of place is cultivated in various urban spaces through the narration of histories that are both intimate and official, imperial and local, traumatic and nostalgic. In illuminating the interplay of history with competing senses of place and nation in Odessa, this study shows how nation-building policies interact with the legacies and memories of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union."--Jacket.

The original documents that make up the Peter J. Braun Russian Mennonite Archive were assembled in the Molochna Mennonite settlement in southern Ukraine between 1917 and 1929. Named in honour of Peter J. Braun, a leading educator and the person most intimately involved in the establishment and development of the archive, it was created by Russian Mennonites to foster historical consciousness and research at a time when their community and land were being threatened by Russian extremist nationalists as part of a campaign against imperial Germany. Confiscated by Soviet authorities in 1929, the archive disappeared from public view for more than sixty years. It was rediscovered in 1990 in the state archives in Odessa; in 1990 and 1991, the entire archive was microfilmed and brought to Canada.The collection consists of more than 130,000 pages of documents, organized in some 3,000 chronologically arranged files. By far the most extensive collection of in-group Russian Mennonite sources surviving from the Imperial period, it spans a wide range of subjects concerning the largest and most influential Mennonite community in Russia. The archive provides fresh and concrete detail on the Russian Mennonite story, the development of the Black Sea Steppe frontier, and ethnic and religious minorities in southern Ukraine.The guide to this unique primary source material consists of a historical introduction, a detailed listing and description of the contents, a guide to the use of the microfilm (tables, keys, and a glossary), as well as illustrations and maps.

Alors qu’elle s’interroge, se regarde et se raconte depuis des siècles, l’Europe demeure perplexe au miroir de ses inépuisables productions. Elle est à l’étroit dans les paragraphes étriqués des documents juridiques, elle tend à se soustraire aux appropriations idéologiques de toutes obédiences, dépasse toujours les images d’elle-même qu’elle crée sans relâche, échappe à sa propre histoire comme à ses historiens, à ses géographes et à tous ceux qui s’efforcent de la définir. Mais elle offre à l’expérience et à l’imagination des hommes la richesse infiniment diversifiée de son patrimoine. S’il est encore et toujours difficile de dire l’Europe, du moins peut-on la percevoir et la toucher, surtout en ces lieux singuliers mais innombrables où se livre au regard et à l’esprit un surcroît de sens. Frontières, carrefours, passages, nœuds urbains, vastes plaines, lieux de commémoration ou de mémoire : ce sont quelques-uns d’entre eux qui ont inspiré les auteurs de cet ouvrage. Dire l’Europe, sous leurs plumes croisées, c’est la redire sans cesse dans la multiplicité de ses manifestations particulières.
