Міжнародні новини на сторінках газети „Буковина” (1885–1887 рр.)

Abstract

The article aims to examinate in what degree international events from 1885-1887 period were reflected in pages of national newspaper „Bukowina”. With the appearance of this periodical the new phase of development of Ukrainian press of this region was begun. The journal was published in Chernivtsi from January, 1-st 1885 till January, 13-th 1910, then – after break of several years – from January, 1-st till June, 10-th 1915. After this date, till May, 3-rd 1918, the title was issued in Vienna. May, 15-th 1918, with the withdrawal of Russian army, the editorial office was moved again to Chernivtsi. This lasted until December, 10-th when journal disappeared from the publishing market. At the end of 19-th century periodical was main source of information for people of North Bukovina (with the emphasis on Pridnestrovian Ukraine). In it there were dealt important political and social topics of that time. The title left significant mark in field of literature, criticism, opinion journalism and bookselling. Moreover it has contributed to popularisation of Western-Ukrainian periodical-press. During its existence „Bukowina” was consistently suffused with the various information, presented from many perspectives. Publishers and authors cooperating with journal have tried to present comprehensively the events not only from Ukraine but also from abroad. Among the 70 issues which were launched durring the firs years of journal`s history, 35 were extracted which reffers to international affairs – mainly from section entitled Що нового въсвƀтƀ (What`s new in the world?) Generally, in this section it is possible to find 178 news related with international subject. All of tchem have international background and reffers to following fields: – Bulgarian-Turkish relations; – Greek-Turkish relations; – Polish issue; – news from Europe and world; – international affairs from Russian perpective and political situation in Russia. As the Author shows, the year 1855 was not so rich in news reffered to international events, probably because of lack of permanent correspondent who would be able to provide proper information. However the most fruitful in terms of international news was the next year (1886). Then section Що нового въсвƀтƀ (What`s new in the world?) appeared in almost every issue of newspaper and materials were located into separate paragraphs, assigned to each country. It can therefore be ascertained, that in that time international events significantly cosolidated their position on „Bukowina” pages. Each succeeding issue contained several such minor information, started from the name of country, which they reffer to. In 1887 the section has been reconfigured – from short news into general rewiev of political situation, mainly in European countries. In article is presented in detail the substantial (problems and subject) and formal analysis of the section.
