Oleksandr Zaytsev holds the position of assistant professor in the department of Ukrainian History at Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv. He received his Kandydat nauk degree in 1994 after completing his dissertation "The Parliamentary Activity of the Political Parties of Western Ukraine (1922–1939)." He will be at Harvard for three months (February–April 2006) to work on the topic "Ukrainian Integral Nationalism in Comparative Perspective, 1920–1930s." The research has three goals: 1) to trace the ideological evolution of the Ukrainian nationalist movement within an international context; 2) to determine the extent to which the Ukrainian movement was influenced by French integral nationalism, Italian Fascism, and German National Socialism; and 3) to compare the Ukrainian national movements with the radical right movements of East-Central Europe and the Balkans.
