Three periods in the life of historian Iaroslav Kalakura. (English)

The life of Iaroslav Kalakura spans three periods in the history of Ukraine: he was born in Galicia during the Second Polish Republic; witnessed and participated in socialist changes in the Cis-Carpathian region studying "developed Socialism." For about two decades Kalakura worked for the benefit of historical studies and higher education of independent Ukraine. Each period influenced Kalakura’s views and was reflected in his research, but the historian has preserved his individuality, moral values, and civil position as a true Ukrainian. He was among the first historians in Ukraine to begin studying and popularizing works by Ukrainian historians of the diaspora. Kalakura is known as a specialist in theory and the methodology of historiography, source studies, and archives, and as a mentor for a new generation of historiographers.
