Education

[edit]

He studied 1974–1979 at Chernivtsi University, in the Faculty of history, where he graduated with honors. He was the husband of the journalist Marta Kolomayets, who died in 2020.

After graduating he continued his studies as a researcher at the Institute of Ukrainian History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Danylo's candidate's thesis (1988) is devoted to the peculiarities of the political, economic, and social crisis of 1917 based on the material of Ukrainian provinces within Russian Empire. His doctoral dissertation monograph "Political systems of Ukraine 1917–1920: creation attempts and causes of defeat" (2003) was recognized as the "Best Book of the Year."

Research activities

[edit]
  • 1983–1993 – Institute of History of Ukraine.
  • 1988 – Candidate of Historical Sciences (The proletariat and the bourgeoisie of Ukraine during the national crisis (September–October 1917).
  • 2008 – Doctor of Historical Sciences (Political systems of Ukraine in 1917–1920: attempts to create and the reasons for defeat).

Views

[edit]

On Massacres in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia:

  • it is a mutual massacre committed by former citizens of the Second Polish Republic, Roman Catholics and Orthodoxes; the consequence of the national policy of the two regimes – the Second RP and the Third Reich;
  • legal responsibility, according to the then norms of international law, should be borne by the Nazi occupation administration;
  • neither modern Ukraine (the successor to the USSR) nor its citizens bear historical, political, legal responsibility for that crime;
  • discussants must clearly indicate which of the well-known Insurgent Armies we are talking about: Taras Bulba-Borovets, Serhij Kaczynski, Vasyl Ivakhiv (since May 1943 – VO «Zagrava») – Dmytro Klyachkivsky, who called his units the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, or Roman Shukhevych;
  • says that Stepan Bandera pointed out to the spontaneity of the transition to insurgent forms of struggle of the Volyn regional Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists.[1]

He considers Bohdan Khmelnytsky an antihero of Ukraine, a man who brought catastrophe to Ukraine, and «a man who sold everyone who could be sold to everyone who would buy it; a man who spent the rest of his life legitimizing this quasi-state is an ugly entity in which people did not exist at all, but this Cossack's peasantry existed as the ruling class.»[2]

He is quite critical of the proposed modern Ukrainian historiography and believes that it is «made in Moscow, it is made in other geographical centers, abundantly scattered on the political map of the world. We need, I personally need, to know the truth. I do not want to live in a lie, and therefore what I am doing is destroying myths that are called national, but which are actually completely destructive and turn our people into a herd. If a herd wants to remain a herd, let it remain; and I am a free person and I want to live in a free country.»[2]

In July 2018 he supported an open letter from Ukrainian cultural figures to Ukrainian director Oleh Sentsov, who was imprisoned in Russia.[3]

For 40 years Yanevsky has been researching the peculiarities of the formation and development of Ukraine as a synthesis of civilizations that existed on its territory. He is the author of more than 20 monographs, including a four-volume book on the history of the Masonic movement which had a significant impact on the formation of Ukraine as a unique civilizational entity. Other publications include his volumes of the "Ukraine Project" series – "portraits on the background of the era" of famous historical figures: M. Hrushevskyi, P. Skoropadskyi, S. Petlyura, E. Konovalets, A. Melnyk, S. Bandera, R. Shukhevich – which analyze peculiarities of their views on Ukraine as an independent state and the results of their political practices.

Yanevsky has been the creator, producer, and factual editor of several popular historical documentary films, including the multimedia project "Secrets of Ukrainian Independence," dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the declaration of Ukraine as an independent state. In 1992, he was a member of the Heraldic Commission of the Verkhovna Rada, on the recommendations of which the symbols of the new European independent state were established – the coat of arms, anthem, and flag of Ukraine.
