Abstract
The centennial of the Ukrainian revolution of 1917–1921 was commemorated in 2017. It evoked numerous academic events in Ukraine as well as in other countries and gave rise to the publication of books and special issues of academic journals. The Ukrainian Association for Jewish Studies (UAJS) organized an international conference "Ukrainian Jews: Revolution and Post-Revolutionary Modernization. Politics. Culture. Society" that took place at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy on October 15–16, 2017. This event was supported by the European Association for Jewish Studies and the Nadav Foundation. The UAJS decided to publish a collection of selected papers presented at this conference as a separate volume within the Judaica Ukrainica Library book series. At the same time, Judaica Ukrainica (JU), as the only interdisciplinary journal in Jewish Studies in Ukraine, could not fail to react to the Revolution’s centennial. Several participants of the conference were invited to submit expanded and revised texts of their papers to JU. Those who gave talks about previously unknown sources gained an opportunity to prepare translations of these documents into Ukrainian.
