I have an idea to make a journey to former Polish East South borderland. If you are looking for new place to discover the region has a lot to offer. I recommend to make the journey in 5 parts. The route and topics which you could reflect on you can see here:
I. L'viv and Galicia - topic: relationships between nations, structures of power and stabilisation of power, culture and literature of borderland (part 1)
1. L'viv - politics of nations in relation to the city space on example of monuments, commemoration of the past, e.g. nostalgia and the Habsburg monarchy, nationalisation, Holocaust versus Holodomor
2. Żółkwia / Zowkwa - Jews and their place, "a private city" one of the biggest synagogs, conflict between aristocracy, nobility and peasants
3. Zadwórze / Zadwirja - battle against the Soviet army of Budionny on August, 17 (1920)
4. Olesko - castle of Johann III. Sobieski
5. Brody - Jewish culture and literature
II. Luzk and Wolhynia - commemoration of national conflicts
6. Luzk - former Polish regional center (Woiwode), counterpart of L'viv in the north?
7. Battlefields in Wolhynien
8. Poryck/Pawliwka - a Polish-Ukrainian monument of the massacre in 1943
9. Sokal - question of the artificial border (Kordon sokalski)
III. Galicia or East Central Poland and its blossoming
10. Drohobycz - Bruno Schulz and the three cities of Galicia
11. Boryslaw - industry and the three cities of Galicia
12. Truskavets - recreation area and the three cities of Galicia
13. Stryj - Jewish past and the monument of Stefan Bandera
14. Stanisławów / Iwano-Frankiwsk - former Polish regional center (Woiwode), counterpart of L'viv in the south?
IV. Bukowina and its memory of different occupying forces
15. Czerniowce / Czernowitz and its Austrian, Romanian and Sowjet past
16. Kamieniec Podolski / Kamjanez-Podilskyj - fortress from the 16th century
V. Galicia - culture and literature of the borderland (part 2)
17. Tschortkiw - Karl Emil Franzos
18. Tarnopol and its military and administrative meaning
19. Bereschany, Zolochiv / Złoczów as former Jewish cities
A recommended place to stay is by Iwano-Frankiwsk, in Bołszowce. It is a monastery, a center for the Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation.
You can find all places which I chose on google maps here.
Do you have enough of your branch? Look at neighbour branches and combine yours with others. Consider where you live and look for local connections. I work on history, politics, culture and even remembrance in East Central Europe. So pictures and texts here shed light on events, researches and places related to these fields in the regional context.
