Johannes Remy is lecturer in Russian and East European Studies at the Renvall Institute for Area and Cultural Studies at the University of Helsinki. He received his Ph.D. in history in 2000 from the same institution. Remy will come to Harvard for four months (February-May 2007) to work on the topic "Ukrainian Nationalism and Russia from the 1840s to the 1870s" which will comprise two major parts: first, the formation of Ukrainian national mythology; second, the political programs of Ukrainian activists, their positions on the Polish insurrection (1863-1864), and the government's policies in relation to the Ukrainian movement.
