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.

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).
