JAN KOZIK 245graphical work occupied most of his spare time. He was employed atthe State District Archive and, later, at the Primary Technical Schooland Mechanical-Electrical Technicum in Chrzanów. But this madepursuit of his own scholarly interests difficult, because of the distancefrom Cracow and its scholarly materials and facilities. Deciding toestablish ties with the Jagellonian once again, he began doctoral studythere in 1963. A doctorate in the humanities was awarded to him in1967 for the work, "The Ukrainian National Movement in Galicia inthe Years 1830-1848."* The thesis was recommended for publicationby Professor Antoni Podraża and was published in Cracow by theWydawnictwo Literackie in 1973.After receiving the doctoral degree, Kozik worked for a year at theInstitute of Social Sciences at the Mining-Smelting Academy in Cracow.In 1968 he became lecturer on the history of the USSR at theJagellonian. From this time on Dr. Kozik's scholarly activities increased,and a number of his publications quickly gained renown inPoland and abroad.An early study devoted to Silesian contacts with the Jagellonian,written in collaboration with J. Zdrada, was published in the LondonKronika (1964). Kozik then went on to publish important worksdealing with Polish, Czech, and South Slavic influences on, and contactswith, the national movement (particularly Ukrainian) in nineteenth-centuryGalicia. Two studies, "Ukrainian Territories in theYears 1795-1917," published in the collection Ukraine: Past and Present(Cracow, 1971), and "The Ukraine vis-à-vis the Process ofFederalization, 1917-1923," included in From the History of the SovietState (Cracow, 1972), present interesting and original syntheses ofcrucial periods in the history of the Ukraine. Dr. Kozik also wrotebiographical sketches of several leading Galician Ukrainian figures forÖsterreichisches Biographisches Lexicon, 1815—1950 and for the PolskiSłownik Biograficzny.In November 1970, Dr. Kozik underwent a difficult heart operationwhich failed to bring about the hoped for improvement in his health.Nevertheless, he took two exhausting trips to Soviet libraries andarchives in search of new materials. The result was a brilliant Habilitationsschriftentitled "Reaction and Revolution: Studies in the Historyof the Ukrainian National Movement in Galicia in 1848-1849" (Cracow,1975), a work which introduced new sources into the field.
