Education

Rudling holds a Master of Arts degree in Russian from Uppsala University (1998), a Master of Arts degree in history from San Diego State University (US) (2003), a Ph.D. in history from the University of Alberta (Canada) (2009), and completed a post-doc at the University of Greifswald, Germany.[3]

Career

He is the author of The Rise and Fall of Belarusian Nationalism, 1906-1931, published by the University of Pittsburgh Press,[4] devoted to the subject of present-day Belarusian nationalism from its origins until the 1930s.[5] The book won the Kulczycki Book Prize in Polish Studies in 2015.[6]

Rudling gained international attention in October 2012 when a group of Ukrainian organizations in Canada delivered a signed protest to his employer, accusing him of betraying his own university's principles.[7] The letter was a response to Rudling's public criticism of what he considered a glorification of OUN-B, UPA, Stepan Bandera, and Roman Shukhevych by fellow historian Ruslan Zabily from Ukraine, during his lecture tour in Canada and the United States.[8][9] Rudling delivered a communiqué from Lund to concerned universities, pointing out to the role of OUN-B in the Holocaust in Ukraine and the involvement of UPA in the massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.[8] He also wrote about Bandera's antisemitism and political violence during World War II, which led to ethnic cleansing not only of Poles and Jews but also of Ukrainians themselves.[10] In response to the Canadian-Ukrainian complaint about Rudling, a large group of academic researchers published an open letter in support of him.[11]
