What Did Slovenians Know About Ukraine in 1905? The Ukrainian Question and Its Author – Bajda, the Slovenian “Cossack”

Summary/Abstract: The following contribution describes the atitudes of the Slovenian public towards the Ukrainian question at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century and the reasons why the Slovenian clericals were interested in the issues of Ukraine. It primarily focuses on Jože Abram, who published an overview of Ukrainian history in the Catholic monthly magazine Dom in svet in 1905, and analyses the impact of Abram’s Ukrainophile activities on the Slovenian public. It also establishes the sources for Abram’s writing and aims to determine what Slovenians knew about Ukraine in 1905, what sort of Ukrainian literature they read, where these books came fom, and who wrote them. Among other things, the analysis of literary and historiographical sources reveals the development of the publishing and educational activities in Galicia in the second half of the 19th century. In this context, the role and importance of Yulian Pelesh, Oleksander Barvinsky, Mykhailo Pachovsky, and Lonhyn Tsehelsky for the Ukrainian national rebirth is explained.
