Abstract

gievna Vandalkovskaia takes on "Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Kizevetter" in a largely bio- graphical article replete with interesting anecdotes. We see Kizevetter as a positivist with a special interest in cultural history. Aleksei Nikolaevich Tsamutali takes much the same ap- proach in his "Sergei Federovich Platonov (1860-1933)." Platonov appears as the scholar who effectively synthesized the traditional methods o f the St. Petersburg school and the new Kliuchevskian history. In Part II, the reader encounters Thomas Prymak's "Mykola Kostomarov as a Histo- rian," describing the scholar who developed the "ethnographic method" to find sources for the history o f a captive nation. Frank E. Sysyn offers an "Introduction to Mykhailo Hru- shevsky's History of ihe Ukraine-Rus'," the bible o f Ukrainian nationalism. Finally, Boh- dan Klid's "Volodymyr Antonovych," presents an historian unusual in that he had a base in the scholarly institutions o f imperial Russia (the Kiev Archive Commission and St. Vladi- mir University, Kiev). There he developed a "quasi-Hegelian" history based on "the com- munal principle" as the "leading idea" o f the Ukrainian nation.
