The Bohdan Bociurkiw Memorial Lecture was established in November 2001 to honour the memory of Professor Bohdan R. Bociurkiw, an eminent political scientist and internationally renowned specialist in human rights, Soviet religious policy, and Ukrainian church history.
This academic year we honour 100 years since the birth of Bohdan Bociurkiw (1925–98), and 50 years since the founding of CIUS, recognizing his significant contributions to Ukrainian studies and to our institute.
“A priest in Soviet Western Ukraine between Catholicism and Orthodoxy: Rev. Mykhailo Datsyshyn (1914–93)”
Based on its imperialist and anti-religious policies, the Stalinist leadership took aim at the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) in Galicia shortly after this territory was incorporated into the USSR on the eve of World War II. The decision to forcibly “reunite” the “Uniate Church,” as it was derogatorily called in Soviet-era documents, to the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) was driven by geopolitical considerations, Soviet nationality policies, and social engineering.
The 2026 Bohdan Bociurkiw Memorial Lecture will tell the story of the “reunited” UGCC ecclesiastical community through the life of Rev. Mykhailo Datsyshyn (1914–93), from the town of Stryi in Lviv oblast. Like many other Greek Catholic priests, he officially “reunited” with the ROC and served in its parishes in Lviv oblast for nearly fifty years. During this time, Soviet officials suspected him of being a “covert Uniate”; and indeed, he also maintained connections with the hierarchy and clergy of the Ukrainian Church “in the catacombs.” However, this did not prevent accusations of “apostasy” from his parishioners and fellow priests after the UGCC was revived in the early 1990s. Today, the UGCC considers Rev. Datsyshyn a “martyr” who dedicated his life to preserving the Ukrainian Greek Catholic community and its traditions during the Soviet regime.

The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies is proud to announce the 60th Annual Shevchenko Lecture, to be held on Friday 6 March 2026 at the University of Alberta. Serving since 1966 as a forum for important intellectual discussions concerning Ukrainian history, nation building, language, literature, culture, and identity, the Annual Shevchenko Lecture has presented eminent speakers such as Myrna Kostash, James Mace, Chrystia Freeland, James Sherr, and Alexander Vindman.
2026 marks 60 years since the first Shevchenko Lecture in Edmonton, initiated by the Ukrainian Canadian Professional and Business Association, and 49 years since it has been sponsored by CIUS. As the institute’s oldest and most distinguished invited lecture, it attests to our commitment to build and disseminate knowledge about Ukraine and Ukrainians in the world.
This year, we welcome the well-known historian and author Serhii Plokhy from Harvard University, who will deliver the 60th Shevchenko Lecture.
“The Russo-Ukrainian War through a Historian’s Eyes”
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine constitutes the largest war in Europe since 1945. It is also the first war to employ drones on a massive scale, both in the air and at sea, and the first major conflict that is widely characterized as hybrid warfare—combining conventional military operations, cyberattacks, and the active use of disinformation. The latter is a key element of the Kremlin’s war propaganda, aimed not least at its own population as well as Ukraine and the outside world. How important have misuse and abuse of history been in the perpetration and justification of this war, and what are the actual historical causes of the conflict? Why did Putin start the war―and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have valiantly resisted a superior military; meanwhile, the West has been vacillating as Russia colludes with allies in the international arena. The lecture will provide answers to these and related questions by tracing the origins of the Russo-Ukrainian war and explaining the reasons for the return of armed conflict in Europe, the very same part of the world where the Cold War had ended thirty years earlier.
