Campaigns

• Ban on the Language in Books and Public Speeches (1892–1905)

  at the archaeological congress in Kyiv in 1899, scholars from Austrian-ruled Ukraine were forbidden to read papers in Ukrainian - in protest they withdrew from participation

  at the unveiling of the Kotliarevsky monument in Poltava on 30-31 August 1903, only guests from Galicia were allowed to speak Ukrainian, while the mayor forbade the locals to do so, citing an order of the ministry of internal affairs

• Destruction of Ukrainian Societies and Segregation (1906–1910)

  A campaign to suppress the legal civic activity of the indigenous people: in the Poltava and Kharkiv regions the "Prosvita" societies were banned from their very founding, and in 1908–1910, under Stolypin, virtually all "Prosvitas" were closed, except the branches of the Katerynoslav governorate

  Justifying the crackdown, Stolypin declared in an address to the Senate that the revival of Ukrainian cultural life was undesirable, for "the three principal branches of Eastern Slavdom, both by origin and by language, cannot but constitute one whole"

• Ban on Culture and the Press Before World War I (1913–1914)

  - and that very day the military authorities of the Kyiv military district closed the only Ukrainian daily newspaper, "Rada"

Procedures

• Ban on the Language in Books and Public Speeches (1892–1905) — technique Legislative Ban on the Native Language

  The ban on the language in public speech: at the archaeological congress in Kyiv in 1899 the authorities forbade scholars from Austrian-ruled Ukraine to read papers in Ukrainian - they demonstratively withdrew from the sessions

  At the unveiling of the Kotliarevsky monument in Poltava on 30-31 August 1903, the Galicians were allowed to speak Ukrainian, but when local Ukrainians began reading a greeting address, the mayor cut the reading short, citing an order of the ministry of internal affairs; only in 1906 did the Senate revoke the ban, even reprimanding the minister for "the impropriety of his actions"

  In 1904-1905 the commissions of the Kyiv and Kharkiv universities and the Academy of Sciences, consulted by the Committee of Ministers, spoke out for lifting the bans on the Ukrainian word, yet the decrees of 1876 and 1881 were never formally revoked

• Destruction of Ukrainian Societies and Segregation (1906–1910) — technique Liquidation of National Civic Organizations

  The direct closure of legal educational societies: of the roughly forty "Prosvitas" of Russian-ruled Ukraine, those in the Poltava and Kharkiv regions were banned from their very founding, and in 1908–1910, under Stolypin, virtually all the rest were liquidated, except the branches of the Katerynoslav governorate

  The crackdown received its doctrinal grounding: Stolypin declared in an address to the Senate that the revival of Ukrainian cultural life was undesirable, for "the three principal branches of Eastern Slavdom, both by origin and by language, cannot but constitute one whole"

• Ban on Culture and the Press Before World War I (1913–1914) — technique Censorship

  On this basis the military administration of the Kyiv military district that very day closed the only Ukrainian daily newspaper, "Rada," and confiscated at the printing house the print runs of "Svitlo" and of the "Literary-Scientific Herald," and on 9 January 1915 all Ukrainian periodicals were shut down
