"I follow Bartov here in using the Polish version of the name, [Buczacz,] since the town [now <i>Buchach</i>, Ukraine] has lain for most of its history in Poland or a region dominated by Polish culture. [p. 74.] [B]efore the <a href="/wiki/Great_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Great War">Great War</a> [p]laces like Buczacz were incubators of both Polish and Ukrainian nationalism, and eventually of its Jewish forms too, as <a href="/wiki/Zionism" title="Zionism">Zionism</a>.... Early Zionists enjoyed little local support either within the Jewish community or outside it. [Ukrainian socialist, nationalist, writer, translator, economist, ethnographer] [Ivan] <a href="/wiki/Ivan_Franko" title="Ivan Franko">Franko</a> portrayed them with characteristically slight sympathy at the time, though he applauded their plans to emigrate. Bartov accords them little attention here.... [Footnote 6:] He explains the appeal of the movement more clearly in <i>Anatomy of a Genocide</i>.... For many Poles too the eastern homelands – what they came to call the <i><a href="/wiki/Kresy" title="Kresy">Kresy</a></i> – were a continuing locus for the dreams of benevolent hegemony in the region, which after 1918 underpinned the unsustainable claims of the <a href="/wiki/Second_Polish_Republic" title="Second Polish Republic">Second [Polish] Republic</a>."
