Development in the Shadow: Studies in Ukrainian Economics
Economy
Political Economy
The Russian occupation of Ukraine under the tsarist and communist regimes exerted a decisive influence on the development of Ukrainian economics. The present collection of essays, written over a ten-year period, explores some of the pertinent issues. The 1917 Revolution can be taken as a logical dividing point for comparing the impact of the two different political and economic systems on the performance of Ukraine's economy and the welfare of its population. It appears that the effect of the Soviet regime was in general harmful to Ukraine. Relative to other Soviet republics, its economic growth was one of the lowest, and income per capita deteriorated. Despite the inferior performance of the Ukrainian economy, the Soviet regime continued year in and year out the unrequited transfer of part of Ukraine's national income to other regions of the USSR in greater amounts that its tsarist predecessor. Geopolitical considerations were the primary motivation. Analysis of most of the period since World War II suggests that, in order to achieve Soviet political and military goals, Ukrainian authorities had to be left without any real decision-making power, despite official propaganda to the contrary. In order to integrate Ukraine into the Russian Empire / USSR, it was not enough to control its economy completely: its intellectual base had to be destroyed as well. Before 1917, the imperial establishment tended to appropriate the contributions of Ukrainian scholars to economics — a practice that continued under the Soviets. The overall conclusion of this study is that Moscow's administration of the Ukrainian economy, regardless of the system in place, was detrimental to its performance and to the population's welfare, and dangerous to the survival of the Ukrainian nation itself. See Industry, Dolyna oil field, and Dnieper Hydroelectric Station in the Encyclopedia of Ukraine.

Galician Villagers and the Ukrainian National Movement in the Nineteenth Century
Galicia
Peasants
Ukrainian National Movement
Women
This first case study of how the East European peasantry was drawn into national politics focuses on the Ukrainians of Galicia (1772–1914). On the basis of first-hand testimony by peasants and rural notables, it demonstrates that the peasants' political consciousness was forged by serfdom, reforms initiated by the state, and the penetration of a money economy. This book breaks new ground on related issues, including the connection between class and national consciouness, the reasons for a sharp exacerbation of the peasantry's antagonism toward Jews, the new role of generational differences in the village, and the place of rural women in the national movement. Winner of the 1989 Antonovych Foundation History Prize Co-published with the Macmillan Press and St. Martin's Press. See Bukovyna, Carpathian Mountains, Principality of Galicia-Volhynia, Dilo, and Boyars in the Encyclopedia of Ukraine.

Diaspora
Immigration and Settlement
Twelve path-breaking essays define the territory for a Canadian social philosophy of ethnicity. They address the major issues of immigration, discrimination, consumerism, government policy, ethics, gender, media, and political strategy. From a variety of perspectives, the authors enter a dialogue that illuminates the central role of ethnicity in Canadian society. This book lays the groundwork for an independent political philosophy of ethnicity that can confront economic and state pressures. Contributors include Myrna Kostash, Leslie Armour, Roman Onufrijchuk, John O'Neill, Alkis Kontos, José Huertas-Jourda, Manoly R. Lupul, Ato Sekyi-Otu, and others.

Continuity and Change: The Cultural Life of Alberta's First Ukrainians
Culture
A comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of the life of the first Ukrainian immigrants. The volume consists of eight parts. It begins with a prologue by Roman Onufrijchuk that sets the stage for understanding the difficult process of cultural transmission and accomodation, made even more difficult for the first Ukrainian settlers, who were from the peasant stratum as well as pioneers. It ends with a more theoretical epilogue by Ian H. Angus that points up the unique significance of ethnocultural communities in rescuing Canadian identity from the universalizing grip of homogenizing cultures like that of the United States. In between, the volume explores (in the second part) the historical conditions in western Ukraine and western Canada at the turn of the century, the overall nature of the rural Ukrainian bloc settlement in east central Alberta (the largest in Canada), and the contrast between the cluster village in Ukraine and the railroad village in the West. In this part, John-Paul Himka presents the hypothesis tested indirectly by subsequent presentations: "Ukrainian immigrants in Canada were at first not only culturally more traditional/backward than most Canadians but also more traditional/backward than their contemporaries in western Ukraine." The next four parts on material culture, the life of women, customs and beliefs, and cultural institutions and organizations in the new world could be said to constitute the heart of the volume. The life of the first immigrants is analyzed in detail in terms of the problems of shelter, agricultural technology, the status and responsibilities of women, the endurance of customs and beliefs, and the evolution of institutions and organizations that were similar to, yet distinct from, those in the Old Country. The analysis is as strong as the field work on which it depends, and there is no doubt a lesson here for all ethnocultural groups: research in the field should begin early, while most of the immigrant generation is still alive. The seventh part on the "open-air" museum may be seen as the applied part of the conference and is, of course, most directly relevant to the needs and concerns of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. As a type, the village has numerous models in other countries, and its problems, like its accomplishments, are in some respects unique. Contributors include Orest T. Martynowych, Frances Swyripa, Peter Melnycky, Marie Lesoway, Andrij Makuch, Kathleen Conzen, James Fitch, Vivian Olender, Sandra Thompson, Bohdan Medwidsky, Robert Klymasz, Roman Onufrijchuk, T.D.

Ukrainians of the Eastern Diaspora : an Atlas
Ukrainian Dissent
Ukrainians Abroad
The atlas Ukrainians of the Eastern Diaspora is the first such publication concerning Ukrainians living outside their ethnic territory and scattered throughout the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union during the course of the last century. The Soviet census of 1989 enumerated more that 6.8 million Ukrainians outside Ukraine in the republics of the former Soviet Union alone. In addition, at least two million Ukrainians, according to official statistical data, reside in various countries of Europe, the Americas, and even Australia. They constitute the so-called "diaspora," a term that has become ever more current to denote the dispersal of Ukrainians beyond their historical homeland. The "Eastern Ukrainian diaspora" refers to the dispersion of Ukrainians on the territory of the former USSR outside Ukraine. The maps of the atlas are based on the official censuses of 1897, 1926, 1959, 1970, 1979, and 1989. The principle of defining nationality in terms of self-identification was the one used by Soviet census takers. However, under a totalitarian regime, these censuses did not always establish the true numbers of national groups. Multi-faceted programs of research and analysis are required to refine Soviet census data in order to determine the ethnic composition of the former USSR more accurately.

Collectivization
The Soviet Man-made famine of 1932–3 in Ukraine claimed the lives of millions of people, yet until recently it has remained veiled in obscurity. This pioneering volume, which appeared before the publication of Robert Conquest's Harvest of Sorrow and the establishment of the US Congressional Committee on the Famine, was one of the first scholarly efforts to analyze the famine.

New Contributions to the History of the Ukrainian Language
Ukrainian Grammar
Imperial Russia
Michael Moser's New Contributions to the History of the Ukrainian Language is a collection of scholarly essays that examine the development of Ukrainian from its beginnings to the present. In 1863 the imperial Russian minister of the interior, Petr Valuev, issued a directive according to which Ukrainian is "a language that did not, does not, and cannot exist," but time has not borne out his verdict. As these collected essays demonstrate, Ukrainian is a language with an intriguing past, present, and future. Contrary to widespread belief, its historical roots are as deep as those of any other Slavic language. The development of the Ukrainian language, like any other, has been a complex interplay of autochthonous factors and external influences. Moser discusses selected aspects of the history of Ukrainian-Church Slavonic, Ukrainian-Polish, and Ukrainian-Russian language contacts as reflected in Ukrainian written sources. He shows that the elaboration of Modern Standard Ukrainian was the result of intricate efforts of codification carried out under specific historical circumstances. The essays address specific problems of the history of the Ukrainian language in Galicia, Transcarpathia, and North America and discuss the impact of government policy on the more recent history of the Ukrainian language.

The Emergence of Ukraine Self-Determination, Occupation, and War in Ukraine, 1917–1922
XX c.
The book The Emergence of Ukraine: Self-Determination, Occupation, and War in Ukraine, 1917–1922, is a collection of articles by several prominent historians from Austria, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and Russia who undertook a detailed study of the formation of the independent Ukrainian state in 1918 and, in particular, of the occupation of Ukraine by the Central Powers in the final year of the First World War. A slightly condensed version of the German-language Die Ukraine zwischen Selbstbestimmung und Fremdherrschaft 1917–1922 (Graz, 2011), this book provides, on the one hand, a systematic outline of events in Ukraine during one of the most complex periods of twentieth-century European history, when the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires collapsed at the end of the Great War and new independent nation-states emerged in Central and Eastern Europe. On the other hand, several chapters of this book provide detailed studies of specific aspects of the occupation of Ukraine by German and Austro-Hungarian troops following the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, signed on 9 February 1918 between the Central Powers and the Ukrainian People’s Republic. For the first time, these chapters offer English-speaking readers a wealth of hitherto unknown historical information based on thorough research and evaluation of documents from military archives in Vienna, Freiburg, Berlin, Munich, and Stuttgart. The first section of the book deals with military aspects of the German and Austro-Hungarian conquest of Ukraine in 1918, the suppression of uprisings, occupation, and retreat; it also discusses the administration of occupied territory, the economic utilization of the country, the occupying powers’ relations with the Ukrainian government, and the internal Ukrainian perspective on the occupation. The second section details developments in Ukraine between 1917 and 1922. The third section deals with the Central Powers’ policies toward Eastern Europe in general and Ukraine in particular, while the fourth and final section is an analysis of the international context of Ukraine’s efforts to establish a state during this period. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of the First World War and the modern history of Central and Eastern Europe.

Christian Social Ethics in Ukraine: The Legacy of Andrei Sheptytsky
Christianity
In the first half of the twentieth century, Christianity in Europe faced an unprecedented range of social, economic, and political issues that challenged the very essence of the faith. In response to the rise of socialism, the struggle for political self-determination, and the competing totalitarianisms of Soviet communism and German fascism, some of Europe's finest theological minds sought to interpret the social message of the gospel in order to promote a specifically Christian understanding of ideals such as justice, liberty, and democratization. Andrei Sheptytsky (1865–1944), who headed the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Galicia for almost half a century, was not only an outstanding ecclesiastical, cultural, and civic leader, but also a thinker and writer of distinction. Grappling with the social and political problems that beset his religious community, Sheptytsky applied key principles of Christian social ethics to such issues as patriotism, inter-ethnic and church-state relations, the ideal of church unity, Soviet communism, nationalism, religious liberty, ideological atheism, and Nazism. Whether in pastoral letters that probed the Christian life through ethical reflection on social and political reality or in personal representations to such figures as Emperor Franz Joseph, Pope Pius X, Khrushchev, Hitler, and Stalin, Sheptytsky promoted a vision of human life that was grounded in the practical wisdom of both Eastern and Western Christendom. Andrii Krawchuk offers the first comprehensive scholarly study of this complex sphere of Metropolitan Sheptytsky's thought and activity. This pioneering analysis of how Christian moral teaching was applied within an East European context breaks new ground in our understanding of the churches that survived Soviet persecution. With meticulous attention to the facts behind the myth, Krawchuk draws on rigorous research in many sources, including extensive work in the newly opened archives of Ukraine. The result is an engaging interpretation of a legacy that has left its distinctive mark on twentieth-century Christian social thought.

The Politics of Multiculturalism: a Ukrainian-Canadian Memoir
Linguistics
Manitoba
The book Politics of Multiculturalism is the memoir of an academic whose expertise in the education of Canadian minorities led him to take on a major political role in the Canadian multicultural movement. Born in the Ukrainian bloc settlement of east-central Alberta and educated at the universities of Alberta, Minnesota, and Harvard, Manoly R. Lupul combined the outlook of a liberal secular humanist with a conviction that modern society could be enriched by the cultural potential of ethnicity. His concern for the expansion of minority linguistic and cultural rights in Canada was sharpened by a direct encounter with the policy of Russification in Ukraine during a sabbatical leave in the late 1960s. Dr. Lupul’s involvement in Canadian multiculturalism began with the drafting and passage of Alberta’s first school legislation for bilingual programs (1971); similar laws were subsequently enacted in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. He went on to serve as an executive member of the Canadian Consultative Council on Multiculturalism and a member of the Alberta Cultural Heritage Council. In 1976 Dr. Lupul became the founding director of the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Alberta, the first publicly funded institution of its kind outside Ukraine. He contributed significantly to the development of the multiculturalism section of the Canadian constitution (1982). This memoir, based not only on personal writings and recollections but also on extensive documentation, brings together much information previously unavailable in print. In his frank account, Dr. Lupul offers unrivalled first-person insight into the aspirations that gave rise to Canada’s policy of multiculturalism and the interplay of forces that shaped and blunted its development. The book will appeal to readers interested in Canadian culture and politics and, more generally, in the problem of promoting minority-group rights in democratic societies.

The word and wax : a medical folk ritual among Ukrainians in Alberta
Folk Medicines
Customs
The Word and Wax explores the fascinating medical folk ritual of wax pouring used by some members of the Alberta Ukrainian community as a means of driving away fear and curing minor ailments. The ceremony is of the magico-religious and oral-incantational genre of folk medicine, incorporating Christian as well as non-Christian imagery. The Word and Wax is essential reading to anyone interested in the rich folkloric tradition brought to Alberta by early Ukrainian immigrants to Canada. The volume includes transliterations of the incantations of nine wax healers who practice or have practiced in Alberta. Among Ukrainians in Alberta, ethnography is the study of everyday people in cultural context. It involves the study of songs and stories, material culture, customs, art, and all types of traditional elements in life. Customs at Christmas, at weddings and other special times reveal the soul of a community. Ukrainian folklore has been associated with the study of village traditions in previous centuries; now it also includes twentieth-century culture, both in Ukraine and in Canada. The Canadian Series in Ukrainian Ethnology publishes scholarship dealing with the culture and folklore of Ukrainians and Ukrainians in Canada. It is published jointly by the Huculak Chair of Ukrainian Culture and Ethnography and the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies. See Ukrainians and Alberta in the Encyclopedia of Ukraine.

Post-Communism
The book Post-Communist Ukraine by Bohdan Harasymiw is one of the most comprehensive and penetrating studies of the political and social realities of independent Ukraine during the first 10 years of its existence. The masterfully written, multi-faceted analysis presented in this 483-page documents and explains that country’s successes and its more frequent failures during its transition from authoritarianism to democracy. Chapters include: Ukraine—On the Road to Democracy? Agreeing on the Rules of the Game President Kravchuk and the Philosophy of State Building State Building in Ukraine: The Practice of State Organization Coercive Control Nation Building Parliament and Elections Party Systems, Presidential Elections, and the Public The Economy: The Slow Road to Reform and the Fast Road to Riches National Security, Defence, and Foreign Policy From Communist Dictatorship to Pseudo-Democracy Taking a comparative approach, Bohdan Harasymiw breaks free of the usual historical-cultural mode of dealing with Ukrainian politics. Step by step, he examines the primary elements of a modern democratic state and the degree to which these are in place: an agreed-on set of rules of the game in the form of an accepted constitution; a state capable of governing and claiming the loyalty of its people; a parliament representative of the public and able to legislate; a bureaucracy skilled at fashioning and implementing public policies, and not just following orders; a nation of fellow citizens living as a community; political parties channelling the interests of, and responsive to, their followers; elections that reflect the preferences of the voters; and policies ensuring the security and well-being of both state and society. These are analyzed in the light of other countries’ experience with these institutions and processes. As a result, a comprehensive portrait of Ukraine’s politics, which can be characterized as “post-Communist” but not yet “post-Soviet,” emerges.

Kyiv
The book Letters from Kiev is an eyewitness account of the political and cultural changes in the tumultuous months of 1990–91 that led to Ukraine’s declaration of independence. Expertly translated by Myrna Kostash, the text is fully annotated for the Western reader by Dr. Bohdan Krawchenko, to whom Solomea Pavlychko originally wrote her letters. Also included are a number of memorable pictures of the crisis by Ukrainian photographers. Note: This book was edited and printed before the government of independent Ukraine officially adopted ‘Kyiv’ as the English-language spelling of Ukraine’s capital. Until that time ‘Kiev’ was the accepted English-language spelling in scholarly publications, including those of the CIUS Press. Unfortunately, that spelling is still used by many publishers, newspapers, and magazines. CIUS Press, however, has used ‘Kyiv,’ ‘Odesa,’ and Ukrainian transliterations of Ukraine’s place-names in its publications since 1993.

The Refugee experience : Ukrainian displaced persons after World War II
Resettlement of Ukrainians
Concentration Camps
Displaced Persons
Displacement
This volume, a collective study of the post-World War II Ukrainian emigrants in Germany and Austria, departs from the standard approach to immigration studies. Instead of focusing on the immigrants’ adjustment to their host societies (the United States, Canada, Australia, the countries of Latin America, and others), the approach in this volume assumes the primary importance of the pre-immigration experience. The twenty-five contributions to this book present a detailed analysis of the social conditions that shaped the Ukrainian displaced persons, with particular attention to the five-year period that many of them spent in internationally organized resettlement camps. The essays in this volume are grouped in nine sections covering the most important facets of the displaced persons’ lives. These include an assessment of the DP phenomenon in the context of Ukrainian history; its demographic dimensions; an examination of the economic and organizational structure of the DP camps; the role of political parties and nationalist ideology; the activities of the Catholic and Orthodox churches; the establishment of schools and women’s organizations; the proliferation of literary, cultural, and scholarly activity; Soviet efforts at repatriation and the Allied response; the resettlement of Ukrainians in the USA and Canada; and a sociological and psychological interpretation of the DP experience.

Pereiaslav 1654: A Historiographical Study
Cossack Administration
XVII c.
XVI c.
In 1954, the three-hundredth anniversary of the Pereiaslav Treaty of 1654 between Russia and Ukraine was celebrated with unprecedented fervor throughout the Soviet Union. The event was resurrected ostensibly to justify the position of Ukrainians within the Soviet Union as a “younger brother” of the Russian people. What actually happened at Pereiaslav? Did the Ukrainians accept the tsar as their sovereign? Or was it rather a treaty among equals, soon to be broken by the Russian side? The issues have been obscured by ideology, partial reporting, and the absence of documentation. This volume includes a historical survey, excerpts from the Cossack chronicles, the conclusions and disputes of leading historians from the seventeenth to the present century, and a careful survey of Soviet historiography, with its changing emphases. The author’s analysis is detached and scholarly. He refuses to be drawn into political debates but instead focuses closely on the problematic issues: the documents controversy, the role of Bohdan Kmelnytsky, Buturlin’s refusal to take an oath guaranteeing traditional Cossack rights, and the status of Ukraine as decreed by the treaty. Pereiaslav 1654: A Historiographical Study is essential reading not only for scholars of Ukrainian and Russian history, but for all who wish to understand the historical roots of Ukraine’s relations with Russia. For a fundamental analysis of the Pereiaslav Treaty of 1654 see also Mykhailo Hrushevsky’s History of Ukraine-Rus’. Volume 9, book 2, part 1: The Cossack Age, 1654-1657.

In the shadow of the Rockies : diary of the Castle Mountain internment camps, 1915-1917
It is still a little-known fact that during the First World War and in the immediate postwar period (1914–1920), Canadian Internment Operations imprisoned more than 8,000 individuals. The majority of those interned were civilian non-combatants, Ukrainians and other immigrants who had come to Canada from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to work in industry or to settle on western homesteads. Twenty-four receiving stations and internment camps were established across Canada. A camp at Banff/Castle Mountain operated between 1915 and 1917. More than 600 internees were put to work on various projects in Rocky Mountain Park (now Banff National Park), which was being developed at that time as Canada’s first national park. The diary of the Banff/Castle Mountain camp provides detailed insight into the practice of Canada’s internment policy during the First World War and reveals a unique episode in the human history of Canada’s national park system. Historical landmarks in Banff National Park such as the Bankhead Mine, the Tunnel Mountain Road and Trans-Canada Highway, the Spray River Bridge, and the Banff Springs golf course were constructed, rebuilt, or extended by “Austro-Hungarian” civilian non-combatants interned at Banff/Castle Mountain.

Life sentence : memoirs of a Ukrainian political prisoner
Political Prisoners
Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists
Danylo Shumuk, a Ukrainian from the Volhynia region, was at one point Amnesty International’s most “senior” prisoner of conscience, having been incarcerated in various prisons and labor camps for almost thirty-seven years. Life Sentence is his autobiography. It describes the author’s early life and his involvement with the communist movement under Polish rule. After the Soviet invasion of Western Ukraine in the autumn of 1939, Shumuk became disillusioned with communism. During the war, he joined the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which was engaged in a struggle to drive both German and Soviet occupants from Ukrainian soil. But in 1945, he was captured by Soviet troops and sentenced to death (later commuted to life imprisonment). Life Sentence gives a vivid portrayal of camp life: the factions, the intrigues, and the unprecedented challenge to the Soviet authorities that was mounted by the strike in the Norilsk area in 1953. Throughout the book, the character of Shumuk shines through. He remains a symbol of defiant challenge to a totalitarian regime.

Lektsii z istoriï ukraïns'koï literatury : (1798-1870)
This collection of forty-five essays was circulated by Zerov’s students at Kyiv University in 1928–29. Zerov’s lectures shaped the views of a generation of scholars and students, and Lektsii z Istorii Ukrains’koi Literatury makes a valuable contribution to any student’s library of Ukrainian literary criticism. Zerov’s approach may be described as historic-cultural but embracing the methods of formalist and sociological analysis. In practice, Zerov first describes and analyzes a work by tracing the cultural, literary, social and ideological development of the author, as well as investigating the characteristic techniques and style of the work and its integral connection with the theme. Finally, Zerov places the work in perspective through a comprehensive view of the work in its time and its place in the evolution of the genre. The result is a thoroughly scholarly and systematic treatment of literary history.

Zustrichi i proshchanni͡a : spohady. Knyha I
This book is the first volume of the memoirs of Hryhorii Kostiuk, a historian, publicist, and literary scholar. Kostiuk describes the momentous events that took place in Ukraine in the first half of the twentieth century. In the course of his narrative, Kostiuk records his interactions with some of the most important individuals in Ukrainian literature, science, politics, and community life. During his student years in Kyiv (1925–29) Kostiuk studied with such famous scholars as M. Zerov, P. Fylypovich, B. Yakubsky, S. Maslov, and M. Kalynovych. In his post-graduate years in Kharkiv (1930–33), Kostiuk’s instructors included V. S. Boyko, A. Shamrai, and O. Biletsky. In Kharkiv, Kostiuk was involved in the work of the literary organization Prolitfront, where he cooperated with M. Khvyliovy, M. Kulish, P. Tychyna, H. Epik, D. Feldman O. Vyshnia, and other leading literary figures of the 1920s. Among his friends, Kostiuk counted H. Kosynka, Yu. Yanovsky, V. Mysyk, B. Teneta, V. Sosiura, L. Pervomaiisky, I. Bahryany, T. Masenko, O. Korniichuk, and many others. During Stalin’s reign of terror, Kostiuk was arrested and sentenced without trial to five years in the concentration camps of Vorkuta. There he met with many veterans of the revolutionary period and survived the mass terror of 1937–8. The volume concludes with the outbreak of the Second World War. These memoirs are continued in Зустрічі і прощання: Спогади (книга друга).

Zustrichi i proshchanni͡a : spohady. Knyha II
A continuation of Зустрічі і прощання: Спогади (книга перша), the second volume of Hryhorii Kostiuk’s memoirs is a unique document of the development of Ukrainian culture and community outside Ukraine. This volume depicts the extraordinarily dynamic, stormy, and creative life of Ukrainians in the western diaspora in the second half of the twentieth century. Kostiuk continues his saga about the important events in his life from the beginnings of the German occupation of central Ukraine (September 1941) to the end of the century. He describes his move from the Donbas to Kyiv in 1941. From there he goes on to Lviv, then to Plauen and Munich. In each of these places, Kostiuk involves himself in Ukrainian community, cultural, and political organizations, which gives him plenty of opportunities to meet with prominent figures. Kostiuk provides the reader with interesting portraits of such authors as Yurii Klen, Ivan Bahriany, Halyna Zhurba, Mykola Shlemkevych, Todos Osmachka, Yurii Kosach, and many other activists of the Ukrainian diaspora. Kostiuk was a participant (often a leading one) in many important events in the life of Ukrainians outside Ukraine. The reader will find detailed accounts of such events as the founding of the Ukrainian Revolutionary-Democratic Party, the preservation of Volodymyr Vynnychenko’s personal archives, the dedication of a monument to Taras Shevchenko in Washington, DC, the founding of the Slovo Association of Ukrainian Writers in Exile, and about the first attempts to establish contacts with the intelligentsia of Soviet Ukraine.
