Ivan Lysiak Rudnytsky

Ivan Lysiak Rudnytsky was a professor of East European and Ukrainian history at the University of Wisconsin in Madison (1953–4), La Salle College in Philadelphia (1956–67), the American University in Washington, DC (1967–71), and the University of Alberta (1971–84). He was one of the associate directors (1976–80) of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies. Rudnytsky is the author of over 200 historical essays, commentaries, and reviews, and editor of several book publications. His erudite, classic liberal assessments of Ukrainian history and political thought have greatly influenced his émigré Ukrainian and Polish colleagues, his students in the USA and Canada, and the study of Ukrainian history in independent Ukraine.
