Analysis: The Alberta premier says her beliefs are influenced by her great-grandfather’s flight from communism after WWI. We take a closer look.
“My Ukrainian great-grandfather, Philipis Kolodnycky, fled communism and immigrated to Canada after WW1, where he changed his name to Smith,” Smith wrote, and “My political beliefs are largely born out of a complete distrust of the socialism from which my great-grandfather fled.”
Two documents compiled on the ancestry site — a passenger list from the Hamburg-America Line and a passenger list compiled by Canadian immigration officials — indicate Filip Kolodnicki arrived in Halifax on May 23, 1913. That would be more than four years before the revolution, and over a year before the beginning of the First World War, contrasting with Smith’s timeline.
Though Kolodnicki was likely of Ukrainian ethnicity, the fact his nationality was listed as Austrian and his ethnicity listed as Ruthenian indicate he probably came from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and not the Russian Empire. The record posted on Ancestry is a scan of an original held by Library and Archives Canada.
The passenger list describes Kolodnicki’s “place of residence” as Siolko, a small village in northeastern Poland, close to the modern borders of Belarus and Lithuania. While eastern Poland has had a local Ukrainian population since the Middle Ages, neither of these villages are located within Ukraine’s post-WWI borders.Russia withdrew from the First World War after the Russian Revolution in 1917, but before the war concluded in November 1918.
