7. The term zhyd (Russian = zhid) was ambiguous only in the context of the polemic. In Ukrainian (as in Polish) the term is the proper designation for the Jewish people; in Russian it is a derogatory expression.Google Scholar

Ivanov's denunciation of the “separatism” of the Ukrainophile movement is valuable for its richness in first hand information. The author participated in the work of the Sunday Schools organized by the Ukrainophiles and was thus able to observe the movement from the inside.Google Scholar
