Ukrainian symphony music at Carnegie Hall celebrates UNA's 90th

by Helen Perozak Smindak

NEW YORK - The magnificent

sound of Ukrainian symphonic music,
so infrequently heard in the concert
halls of North America, rang out in
Carnegie Hall during a matinee perfor­
mance of Ukrainian music held on April
I to observe the Ukrainian National
Association's 90th anniversary.
Attending the gala occasion in the
2,800-seat, white and gold auditorium
was a near-capacity audience that
included residents of metropolitan New
York and others from the states of New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Pennsylvania, as well as from Montreal
and Toronto. Also present were mem­
bers of the clergy, representatives of
Ukrainian organizations and numerous
friends of the UNA.
The jubilee concert, featuring the
renowned pianist Lydia Artymiw and
works of three of the finest modern
Ukrainian composers, George Fiala,
Borys Liatoshyhsky'and Stanyrhrv""
Liudkevych, also brought together the
American Symphony Orchestra and the
100-voice Canadian Ukrainian Opera
Chorus under the baton of Kiev-born
conductor Wolodymyr Kolesnyk. Mr.

Marchenko's letters to historian grandfather Afghans say Soviets increase bombing
among evidence presented by prosecution rebels
JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Dissident
sources in Ukraine have reported that
among the evidence presented by the
prosecution at the March 13-14 trial of
Ukrainian dissident Valeriy Marchenko
were letters he wrote.to his late grand­
father, well-known historian Mykhailo
Marchenko.
Mr. Marchenko, a 36-ycar-old jour­
nalist and translator, was sentenced to
15 years' imprisonment alter being
found guilty of "anti-Soviet agitation
and propaganda." The charges stemmed
from his alleged activities while im­
prisoned in a labor camp from 1973 to
1979.
Among the "anti-Soviet" materials
presented as evidence by the prosecu­
tion were two letters written by Mr.
Marchenko to his grandfather. The
elder Marchenko. who died in January
1983, was one of a group of Ukrainian
historians who tried to defend Ukrai­
nian culture during the Stalin era. He
fought against the destruction of Kievan
architectural treasures in the 1930s,
most notably the Monastery of St.
Michael of the Golden Dome,s. which
600 Frenchmen may be held
in Soviet prisons since war
PARIS - As many as 600 French­
men may be held in Soviet prisons,
some :,ince World War II, according to
a book recently published here, report­
ed The Christian Science Monitor.
In a book titled "The Broken Hands
of the Taiga," journalist Patrick Meney
has compiled evidence he says proves
the existence of the prisoners, many of
whom were liberated from German
prisoner-of-war camps by the Soviet
Army during World War 11.
Perhaps the most incredible'story is
that of a man identified only as Nicholas
C , who went to the Soviet Union in
1947 as a tourist planning to stay three
weeks but wound up a prisoner in a
Siberian labor camp for 34 years.
According to the Monitor, the French
Foreign Ministry has confirmed Mr.
Meney's story of Nicholas C , whose
identity was not revealed to protect him.
ancL atso-h+nted that the harrowing
material in the rest of the book could be
true.
"In Russia there are a certain number
of Frenchmen imprisoned," a Foreign
Ministry official said. "These are usually
people who are also Russian citizens —
and the Soviet Union does not re­
cognize double nationalities. We are
constantly making efforts to help them."
Nicholas's case, as Mr. Meney tells it,
is unusual because he never was a Soviet
citizen, nor was he a prisoner of war
who was liberated, then incarcerated.
Instead, after he traveled through the
Caucasus Mountains during the Stalin
era, the secret police arrested him on

Afghan guerrillas
capture Soviets
NEW DELHI. India - Afghan
guerrillas killed or captured at least 40
Soviet soldiers at a military post in
southwestern Afghanistan, then in­
vited villagers to view their victims,
alive and dead. Western diplomats said
on April 3.
According to a report by United Press
International, the guerrillas also said–
they killed 25 Soviet soldiers carrying
out an offensive on March 29 in Ghanzi,
75 miles southwest of Kabul, the Af­
ghan capital.
The guerrillas, who are fighting a
force of some 105,000 Soviet troops
supporting the Marxist regime of Presi­
dent Babrak Karmal, overran the Soviet
post at Pashmol on March 16, suffer­
ing heavy casualties, the diplomats said.
The insurgents captured half the 40to
60 Soviet soldiers manning the post
near Kandahar, 300 miles southwest of
Kabul, and killed the rest, the diplo­
mats said.
Early last w?^k, the rebels put the
captured Soviet soldiers on display at a
village пея.' Chelzina, outside Kan­
dahar.
Insurgents reportedly told the city
residents, "If they want to see live
Russians they should come to this
village," a diplomat said, "but if they
want to see dead Russians they should
go to Pashmol."
In a separate raid, guerrillas attacked
a large Soviet military convoy traveling
through the Aghandab region, west of
Kandahar. Both sides suffered heavy
casualties, a diplomat said. The rebels
destroyed more than 20 vehicles and
took some Soviet captives, he said:

stepped up its bombing of villages and
guerrilla supply routes in Afghanistan
in a spring offensive against anti-
government forces, reported Reuters on
April 1.
The guerrillas, based in Peshawar in
Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Pro­
vince, said in interviews that the Soviet
Union was also using ground troops
more extensively, raising the prospect
of heavier fighting and a further exodus
of refugees.
"They are using more offensive
tactics." said Barhanuddin Rabbani,
leader of the Jamiat-i-Isiami, the main
guerrilla fighting force in northern
Afghanistan.
Previous Soviet strategy had been to
establish Afghan Army posts in the
hope of having those forces engage in
small clashes with the guerrillas rather
than sending Soviet troops to engage
the rebels directly.
The tougher stance, they said, focuses
on strategic supply routes stretching
north and east of Kabul, the Afghan
capital, along highways between Kabul
and the Soviet Union and around the
southern city of Kandahar, the rebel
leaders said.
"This time they are not worrying
about establishing military posts," Mr.
Rabbini said. "They are attacking
'villages and patrolling our supply
routes."
He said the Soviet Army, which
formerly stayed close to its fortified
bases and protective armored columns,
was now sending soldiers into combat

Jewish activist transferred to prison
FRAM1NGHAM, Mass. - Jewish
activist Alexander Paritsky, who is due
to complete a three-year labor-camp

ing camp regulations, reported Keston
News.
Under the provisions of a recent
amendment to the criminal code, Mr.
Paritsky could have his sentence auto­
matically extended if found guilty of the
charges. Human-rights groups have
complained that the new law was
enacted to provide authorities a con­
venient basis for extending the sentences
of dissidents.

Sci-fi novelist leaves Soviet censors
lost in space
MOSCOW — Soviet readers have
always been nuts about science
fiction. So it comes as no surprise
that author Arthur C. Clarke's latest
book. "2010: Odyssey Two,"a sequel
to the highly successful "2001,"
would be enthusiastically serialized
in a popular science magazine.
What is both surprising and amus­
ing is that the main Soviet characters
in the book, which deals with a joint
U.S.-Soviet mission to Jupiter, all
have the same last names as well-
known Soviet dissidents. What's
more, the Soviet censors missed it
and the story has appeared, as is, in
the magazine Tekhnika-Molodyozhi.
According to Robert Gillette,
writing in the March 27 issue of the
Los Angeles Times, one of the fic­
tional cosmonauts is named Sakha–
rov, a character credited with invent­
ing a new system of space propulsion
who has a square in Gorky named in
his honor. Of course, human-rights
activist Andrei Sakharov, credited
with being the father of the Soviet
hydrogen bomb, is currently exiled in
Gorky.
Other cosmonauts named for
dissidents are Rudenko (Mykola
Rudenko, founder of the Kiev Hel­
sinki Group and due to have been
released last month); Yakunin (Rus­
sian Orthodox activist Gleb Yakunin,
sentenced in 1980 to five years'
imprisonment); Marchenko (Ana–
toly Marchenko, a 46-year-old
laborer-author who has already
served 18 years and is not due to be
released until 1996); Orlov (Yuri

D'Amato introduces famine resolution
WASHINGTON - Sen."Alfonse
D'Amato (R-N.Y.) on March 30 intro­
duced a resolution commemorating the
Ukrainian famine of 1932-33, reported
the Ukrainian National Information
Service.
The concurrent resolution, co-spon­
sored by Sens. Jesse Helms (R-N.C). J.
James Exon (D-Neb.), Daniel Pafrick
Moynihan (D-N.Y.), Don Nickles (R–
OklarnBuTBradley (D-N.J.)and John
Hein? (R-Pa.), is identical to House
Concurrent Resolution III, which was
passed on November 17, 1983. H.Con.
Res. Ill, introduced by Reps. Gerald
Solomon (R-N.Y.) and Hamilton Fish
(R-N.Y.), had 84 other co-sponsors.
Sen. D'Amato is now seeking co-
sponsors for his Senate resolution.
In his statement Sen. D'Amato said:
"1983 marked the 50th anniversary of
the Soviet-perpetrated famine "which
resulted in the senseless starvation of
more than 7 million innocent men,
women and children in Ukraine. Unlike
the famines which have been caused by
natural disaster, the Ukrainian famine
of 1932-33 was a deliberate and cal­
culated effort by the Soviets, led by
Stalin, to crush the Ukrainian people
and break their independent spirit and
strong sense of nationalism... We can­
not, and must not, forget the sacrifice of
the more than 7 million...who perish­
ed."
The concurrent resolution calls on
the president to: "issue a proclamation in
mournful commemoration" of the
famine; "issue a warning that continued
enslavement of the Ukrainian nation
and other non– Russian nations with the
Union. .of^Soviet--Socialret - Republics

year exiic ІСІ in iast month); Brailov–
sky (Jewish activist Viktor Brailov–
sky, due to have been released last
month after a three-year exile term in
Central Asia); and Kovalev (Ivan
Kovalev, an engineer and member of
the Moscow Helsinki Group now
serving a seven-year labor-camp
term).
Although the book's first names
and, in some cases, gender differ
from those of the activists, and there
is no hint of political deviation in the
behavior of the cosmonauts, dissi­
dents in the Soviet Union, noting
that Yakunin and Brailovsky are
uncommon names, are convinced
that Mr. Clarke has successfully
played a subtle practical joke on
Soviet officialdom. The Western
version of the book, it should be
noted, was dedicated to Dr. Sak­
harov and Soviet cosmonaut Alexei
Leonov.
As to how the Soviet censors
missed such obvious references to
presumably well-known dissidents,
one Soviet source explained that the
names of these activists do not
appear in the Soviet press that often,
making it highly possible that the
editors of the magazine and officials
of Glavlit, the state censorship
agency, failed to deduce their signifi­
cance.
Although Mr. Clarke, who lives in
Sri Lanka, could not be reached for
comment, it is highly unlikely-that
the names used were mere happen­
stance. As one of his characters
observes, "Once is an accident, twice
is a coincidence, three times is a
conspiracy."
Sen. Alfonse D'Amato

Administration hopes to counter
Soviet Union's influence in ILO
JERSEY CITY. N.J. - The Reagan
administration has taken steps that it
hopes will stem Soviet efforts to exert a
stronger influence on the International
Labor Organization (ILO), the 65-year-
old body created by the League of
Nations to oversee world labor condi­
tions, reported The Christian Science
Monitor.
Expressing concern over intensified
pressure by Soviet-bloc nations on the
I LO's supervisory machinery, the White
House several weeks ago named An­
drew J. Gibson of Short Hills, N.J.,asa
special envoy for ILO affairs.
Ambassador Gibson, who was chair­
man of the U.S. delegation to the ILO in
1970, left immediately on a trip to
capitals of all free world governments
that participate in the ILO.
His State Department assignment,
the Monitor reported, was to "empha­
size the United States' continuing
commitment to free labor organiza­
tions, to seek to strengthen the ILO as
the expression of the ideals of free labor
and to strengthen international machi­
nery that ensures that working men and
women can freely organize and freely
choose independent labor organiza­
tions."
Renewed U.S. interest in the ILO was
spurred by several factors, including the
emergence and eventual suppression of
the Solidarity free trade union in
Poland and, more recently, disclosures
that the United States may be importing
goods from the Soviet Union manufac­
tured by slave labor. The importation of
such goods would constitute a violation
of several ILO conventions as well as
the Smoot-Hawley tariff law of 1930.
The United States had terminated its
membership in the organization on
November 1977. Although it returned
in 1980, the United States still has not
ratified any of the I LO's major conven­
tions.
Protest IOC'S
snub of RFE/RL
WASHINGTON - Rep. Ron
Packard of California intro­
duced a resolution on March 15 to
protest the denial by the International
Olympic Committee of accreditation to
Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty cor­
respondents covering the 14th Winter
Olympic Games in Sarajevo. Yugo­
slavia. The resolution also urged the
IOC to reassert its accreditation to
correspondents covering future
Olympic Games, including those that
will be held in Los Angeles.
The International Olympic Commit­
tee decision was described by Max
Kampclman. U.S. ambassador to the
Helsinki Review Conference, as having
"undermined the spirit of Helsinki." It
was also in violation of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights which
states "everyone has the right of freedom
of opinion and expression; this right
includes freedom to hold opinions
without interference and to seek, re­
ceive and impart information and ideas
through any media and regardless of
frontiers."
Unless this ruling is reversed "a major
American lax-supported news organi­
zation will be denied the right to cover a
major international sports event taking
place on American soil," said James
Buckley, RFE/RL president.
Rep. Packard is now seeking co-
sponsors for House Concurrent Resolu–

This last point was raised during last
November's congressional hearings on
the forced-labor issue by Robert W.
Serby, deputy undersecretary of labor
for international affairs and the U.S.
representative to the governing body of
the ILO, who testified that because the
United States has not ratified any of the
major human-rights conventions, its
role in ILO supervisory procedures is
limited to the support of initiatives
taken by others.
He added that despite pressures from
the Soviet bloc, the ILO has rebuked the
USSR for its so-called "parasitism"
legislation and for non-compliance with
ILO Convention 29, which deals with
compulsory labor.
Such rebukes notwithstanding, the
ILO has felt the impact of Soviet
influence. In a recent action, the AFL–
CIO's international department warned
that changes sought by the Soviet bloc
could erode established procedures for
defending the right of workers to form
unions free of government control.
The ILO is.a tripartite organization
with representation from the govern­
ments, employers and labor unions of
each of the 150 member-states. The
tripartite plan has been compromised or
eroded in Communist and other states
whe-e governments control or domi­
nate business and industry, and where
unions — if they exist at all — are
restricted and controlled. In effect, all
representatives to the ILO from these
countries are named and directed by the
governments.
Last year, the Soviet-led Communist
and allied countries proposed such
measures as non-interference in internal
affairs of a member-state, as in ILO
investigations of human-rights viola­
tions and the crackdown on Solidarity
in Poland, and equal representation for
all socio-economic systems in super­
visory bodies, a proposal aimed at
increasing the number of Socialist
me.nbers on important committees
whose members are now chosen for
their technical competence and ex­
perience in the fields of law, labor
relations and public administration.

WASH1NGTON— Funding for a

The budget includes SI72.8 million,

The plan is to upgrade all 16 VOA
stations around the world and to con­

In March, the United States and
Morocco signed an agreement for the
construction of a high-powered relay
station near Tangier. The 1985 budget
includes S9.3 million to design and
begin planning the new station, which,
will take at least two years to complete.
While the VOA already has a Tangier

cated to the 45th anniversary of the
proclamation of independence of Car­
patho-Ukraine, which took place on
March 15, 1939, in Khust, then the
capital of Carpatho-Ukraine.
The meeting, attended by leaders of
various Ukrainian organizations in
New York City, was opened by Dr.
Wasyl Weresh, secretary of the research
center, who stressed the historical
importance of the observance.
Prof. Peter Stercho, president of the
Julian Revay Carpatho-Ukrainian
Research Center, in his extensive re­
marks recalled the work of Ukrainian
national pioneers in Carpatho-Ukraine,
among them the Very Rev. Augustine
Voloshyn, under whose leadership
Carpatho-Ukraine proclaimed its inde­
pendence, and the late Julian Revay,
Prof. Augustine Stefan, the honorary
president of the Julian Revay Research
Center,-theTate-K-lempush brothers and
others who made the supreme sacrifice
for the freedom and independence of
Carpatho-Ukraine.
Dr. Walter Dushnyck, who at that
time was editor of the Ukrainian-
language Ukraina weekly and the En­
glish-language Trident, depicted the
extensive activities of the Ukrainian
American community on behalf of
Carpatho-Ukraine. The leading role in
these activities rested in the hands of
such organizations as the Organization
for the Rebirth of Ukraine and Obied–
nannia, which organized mass meet­
ings, collected clothing and funds, and
sent petitions to the U.S. government as
well as the governments of the four
European powers which signed the
Munich pact, Germany, France, Britain
and Italy, regarding the new Czecho­
slovak "federative" state.
Anthony Dragan, who resided in
1938-39 in Berlin, described the activi­
ties of the Ukrainian colony in the
German capital, especially of the Ukrai­
nian Press Bureau, and recalled such
Ukrainian leaders as Oleh Qlzhych–
Kandyba, Dmytro Andrievsky/"Volo–
dymyr Stachiw, Riko Yaryi and others
who endeavored to inform the German
and European press about develop­
ments in Carpatho-Ukraine. г'м

Dr. Jaroslaw Padoch, president of
the Shevchenko Scientific Society in the
United States, recalled the enthusiasm
and hope of the Ukrainian population
living under Polish domination, believ­
ing that the establishment of an inde­
pendent state of Carpatho-Ukraine
would have a powerful impact upon the
Ukrainians under Poland and in the
USSR.
Dr. Stepan Rosocha, former vice
president of the Carpatho-Ukrainian
Diet, greeted all present at the meeting
in a telephone conversation from
Florida.
All speakers stated that without a
doubt the Carpatho-Ukrainian govern­
ment was a genuine representation of
that part of the Ukrainian ethnographic
territory and it was not under the
influence of any foreign power.
The Very Rev. Patrick Pashchak
OSBM offered an invocation. A recep­
tion, prepared by Walter Pisniuk, a
Ukrainian American restaurateur,
followed.
The Julian Revay Carpatho-Ukrai­
nian Research Center was established
on the initiative of the late Mr. Revay in
1956 for the purpose of conducting
historical research work on the rebirth
of Carpatho-Ukraine.
Members of the executive board of
the research center, among them Drs.
Stercho, Were?h, Ivan Fizer and
Michael Pap. gave a series of lectures on
Carpatho-'J'raine in Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and New York.
Inasmuch as the late Mr. Revay was
the initiator of the research center, and
also in recognition of his work, the
center was named for him.

offer a Ukrainian-English kindergarten

seen by the fact that half of the total
enrollment of 32 pupils chose the

Parents of the pupils enrolled in the
bilingual program planned an evening1
to show off what their children had

from across Manitoba to witness the
success of the program.
Toward the end of the evening, Joe

TORONTO - A film based on the
late William Kurelek's paintings depict­

Sunday.
The film, produced by Toronto
cinematographer Philip Earnshaw,
shows the 160 devotional paintings
which portray the Easter story as told in
the Gospel according to St. Matthew.
They took Mr. Kurelek over three years
to complete and came in the wake of his
conversion to Catholicism. The paint­
ings are housed at the Niagara Falls
Art Gallery.
The film was made in 1981, four years
after Mr. Kurelek's death, but the
producer had trouble selling it at first.

Mr. Dykun responded to this charge,

"So, this year, you got to have two,

Ukrainian WeelclУ
The millennium
The upcoming millennium of Christianity in Kievan-Rus'( 1988) has
become a nettlesome issue in Soviet atheist circles judging by recent
articles in official atheist publications. Ironically, the problem that is
confronting that country's scientific-atheist establishment may also be
of some concern to Ukrainians in the West now making preparations
to celebrate this historic milestone in the history of our nation.
It appears that Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Pimen, who
serves with the government's stamp of approval, is planning to tout the
millennium as, in his words, "a celebration of 1,000 years of Russian
culture, literature, statehood and historical being." The Russian
C h u r c h in Exile will also no doubt stress the Russianness of
Orthodoxy, while emphasizing its vital role in Russian history and
spiritual development.
For Soviet officialdom, ever discomfitted by suggestions that
religion can have universal significance for a country, the problem is to
somehow acknowledge the millennium while stressing Orthodoxy as
just another ideological expression of social needs in the face of
oppressive feudalism.'
For Ukrainians, the problem is to counter the erroneous assumption
that Christianity in that part of the world first appeared in Russia
through the conversion of a Russian prince, and that the millennium is
a celebration of Russian culture, or literature or, for that matter,
Russian statehood. Several publications in the West, including
National Geographic, have already referred to Prince Volodymyr the
Great, who brought Christianity to Kievan-Rus, as a Russian
nobleman who baptized ancient Russia.
To clear up any confusion, we offer a modest proposal. We suggest
to the Soviet atheist establishment that it take the position that
Christianity wa^ a totally alien concept imported by noii–Russian
foreigners, the Ukrainians.
Seriously though, to our Ukrainian institutions in the West already
making plans for the millennium, we suggest that they include a clear
and comprehensive publicity strategy to let the world know that we
Ukrainians are not celebrating a glorious chapter of Russian history. It
must be made clear that Kievan-Rus' was the precursor of later
Ukrainian states and not the cradle of Russian civilization as has too
often been suggested.

In observance of The Weekly's 50th
From our pages in 1956
jt–
"Not assimilated, but just integrated," June 16, 1956:
The problem of the assimilation or integration of immigrants in our country has
a history several decades old. It was a controversial issue during the latter part of
the last century, when fresh waves of emigrants were swept upon these shores, and it
continued to be so right up to the first world war.
Let us examine this matter from the point of principle. There are two forms and
two possibilities as to how the various ethnic groups can be absorbed by American
and Canadian life. One is integration, that is the act of bringing parts into a whole,
with no loss to either, for these parts retain their individual values and progress. The
integration of our ethnic Ukrainian society into American and Canadian life, with
which we are inseparably united and to which we belong will bring no loss to us of
anything; on the contrary we shall be able to continue to cultivate and develop our
Ukrainian language, culture, religion, customs, traditions and the like.
Assimilation, on the other hand, will cause all parts to become one, with the parts
losing their individual identities completely.
Now, along what line is the process of integration and assimilation proceeding
here in our country and in Canada? At the very outset, one should consider the fact
that both America and Canada have long come to the conclusion that integration is
the best policy, and not assimilation of the various ethnic groups that compose their
respective societies, integration is that "E pluribus unum" — which is the motto of
America. That is why integration and not assimilation can be considered trtie
Americanization.
The old Ukrainian immigrants refused to discard their identity as Ukrainians by
birth and upbringing. They built up their local Ukrainian societies, established their
churches and parishes, Ukrainian evening schools for their children, and they
organized such a great organization as our Ukrainian National Association and its
daily organ, Svoboda. And with it all, mind you, they have ever been true and
loyal American citizens.
Their sons and daughters have followed in their footsteps. The Ukrainian spark
in them fired their ambition to be worthy of all that their Ukrainian heritage has
endowed them with, and to keep in mind the fact that they are descendants of one of
the most courageous people on this earth, a people whose never-ending struggle
down through the centuries to retain their national identity, despite all efforts of the
Russians and the Poles to assimilate them, and to regain their individual rights and
national freedom and independence — a struggle which has been a stimulus and
inspiration to other down-trodden and enslaved peoples throughout the world.
The sons and daughters of the old immigrants have refused, with some
exceptions perhaps, to become assimilated in the common sense of the world. They
have endeavored to retain a knowledge of the spoken and written Ukrainian word.
They have learned the beauty of the Ukrainian songs by singing them in choruses
and church choirs. Ukrainian folk dances have also had a special appeal for them as
evidenced by the many folk dance groups they have in various communities
throughout the country. Many of them have taken up Ukrainian folk art as a
hobby, they have made it a point to read the books on subjects pertaining to
Ukrainian history, literature and culture in general. Finally, one of their great
achievements was the formation and development of their local clubs and national
leagues, such as the Ukrainian Youth's League of North America.
All of this, they have not kept within themselves. In every way possible, they have
endeavored to introduce into the stream of American culture the finest elements of
their Ukrainian cultural heritage, and have thereby helped to enrich it.
AH the while they have been good Americans. In most communities they play an
important role in various civic affairs. And when the call to arms comes, as during
the past wars, they are there in the front ranks,fightingand dying for their country
like true sons of the famed Kozaks.
They have integrated themselves into American society and the American way of
life according to the best American traditions and in the best interests of America.
This process should be continued.
"Our special assignment," July 28, 1956
The Ukrainians in America know that one of their main purposes is to spread in
this country the truth about the Ukrainian nation and its aspirations. They also
have another purpose and that is to spread and broadcast to their kinsmen abroad
and behind the Iron Curtain the truth about America, its ideals and the American
way of life. Both are truly great and noble purposes because every nation can learn
much from another, and a mutual understanding and knowledge can be a basis for
peaceable relations and cooperation.
In speaking of this two-sided spreading of the truth, the Ukrainian National
Association without a doubt holds the first place. In only the past two decades the
Ukrainian National Association has published 10 books in the English language
which contain information about Ukraine and the Ukrainian nation, its history and
culture, and particularly its great ideals of freedom, which arc so similar to the
American principles. During its 65-year history, the Ukrainian National
Association has also published much about America, and today these publications
are an important and indispensable source of material to every Ukrainian desiring
to learn and acquaint himself with the great and glorious progress of the New
World. A great source of information are the periodicals published by the
Ukrainian National Association, and in the first place, the Ukrainian daily
Svoboda and its English-language supplement,The Ukrainian Weekly.
In this never-ending action, the spreading of truth about Ukraine among the
Americans and about America among the Ukrainians, a special duty is assigned to
us, the American-born Ukrainian generation. We have the best opportunities to
perceive and know that truth and to spread it among our fellow Americans. Most of
us never saw Ukraine, but we know of and about Ukraine from the most reliable
sources, namely, from our fathers and mothers. Besides, we can more readily know
and understand this truth, because we have Ukrainian blood in us, because our
background is Ukrainian. Naturally, we should deem it our duty to know this truth.
We should supplement and increase our activity in our Ukrainian life, and work for
the Ukrainian cause - an independent and free Ukraine.

cians in presenting Liudkevych's highly
expressive and stirring symphony-
cantata, "The Caucasus." The work is ,
based on Shevchenko's monumental
poem, "The Caucasus," which recounts
the conquering of the Caucasus and the
enslavement of its inhabitants by Mus­
covite imperialists. Shevchenko used
broad, symbolic scenes to transform the
tragedy into a universal struggle for
freedom.
Liudkevych, who was born in Yaro–
slav in western Ukraine and died in Lviv
in 1979 at the age of 100, divided the
first 64 lines of Shevchenko's poem into
four movements for his symphony-
cantata. "Prometheus" (marked Grave–
appassionato) is a dramatic opening
movement; "Not For Us To Stand
Against Thee" (Lento molto affetuoso
espressivo) is lyrically sad; while the
third movement, "Glory to the Wolf
Hounds" (Grave), expresses an ironic
and sarcastic mood. In the concluding
movement. "Struggle On" (Grave), the
music builds up in intensity to a drama­
tic crescendo of "Slava, slava!"
The crashing finale brought thunder­
ous applause. Bowing to the audience,
Mr. Kolesnyk waved to the orchestra to
stand up and join the chorus in receiving
the audience's accolades. Then, as he led
chorusmaster Zenoby Lawryshyn on
stage, listeners throughout the hall rose
to their feet and cheered the performers.

music should be presented often in such
acoustically perfect and beautiful
settings as Carnegie Hall.
For concert performers and invited
guests, there was a pleasant interlude
after the performance - - a buffet
reception hosted by the UNA at the
Ukrainian institute of America. Here,
Supreme President John O. Flis put a nice
finishing touch to an exciting day by
thanking everyone who had assisted
with the concert presentation, with
affectionate praise for the Canadian
chorus, which, he noted, appeared in a
Carnegie Hall concert sponsored by the
UNA in November 1981.

Although some critics voiced the
feeling that the orchestra's brass and

strings and occasionally muffled the
music produced by the soloist and the
chorus, there was general agreement on
several points: the concert was an
outstanding event; the symphonic music

Panorama of Ukrainian culture in the Big Apple
Easter preparations
" Visitors to The Ukrainian Museum,
203 Second Ave., have an exceptional
opportunity these days to examine the
wealth of designs and colors in Ukrai­
nian Easter eggs. The museum's exhibit
has over 400 pysanky. For those who
want to see how the decorating is done,
demonstrations and a film on pysanky
will be presented on April 21 (a repeat of
the March 24 session). Do-it
yourselfers can learn the wax-resist
technique at workshops on April 14 and
15 (for adults and family grops), direct­
ed by Marta Jacuszko of Queens. The
museum is open Wednesday through
Sunday, I to 5 p.m. (228-0110)
" A Ukrainian Easter egg-decorating
workshop is being offered by the Bronx
Botanical Garden on April 8, with Mrs.
Jacuszko as the instructor. An exhibit
of decorating supplies, books and
pysanky, supplied by the Arka Com­
pany of New York, has been on view on
the third floor of the educational
building there since January.
9 The Brooklyn Botanic Garden's
spring course catalogue announces that
a workshop in the ancient Ukrainian art
of "batiking" on eggs will be taught on
April 14 by Emilia Hurd of East Mea­
dow, Long Island. The S20 fee includes
eggs and materials. Mrs. Hurd, a
schoolteacher and a member of the
Ukrainian National Women's League
of America, has been giving instructions
on decorating pysanky for over 20
years.
" The Ukrainian Institute of Ame­
rica has scheduled an exhibition of
Ukrainian Easter traditions and egg
decorating for Saturday, April 14, from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, April 15,
from I to 6 p.m. The exhibition,design­
ed to give the American public an over­
all look at Ukrainian Easter customs,
will include demonstrations of egg
decorating, showing of films on py­
sanky and Easter traditions, an exhibit
of photos depicting Easter traditions
and an exhibit of antique pysanky, a
table od Ukrainian Easter foods (with
samples for tasting), and a kiosk offer­
ing egg-decorating kits and books on
Ukrainian Easter traditions and egg
decorating.

accompanied The New York Times of

carried a picture of Ukrainian girls on a

summer festivities included Canada's

active member of the Ukrainian acade­
mic community at Harvard University
while studying Ukrainian language and

Ukrainian Easter egg decorating have
become known to millions of residents

" The Ukrainian Museum in New

quently, made it to The New York
Times editorial page last month. An
editorial headlined "Art and Money,"
praising the work of the New York State
Council on the Arts for its enormous
range of responses to the world, pointed
out that the council helps fund the
hugely famous Metropolitan Opera but
also gives money to Second Avenue's
Ukrainian Museum, and deserves New
Yorkers' support.
" Reviewing recent art shows, Vivien
Raynor wrote in the Times about Daria
Dorosh's latest show, on view at the
A.l.R. Gallery in Soho from February
21 to March 10. Miss Raynor said that
Miss Dorosh displayed most of her
vividly colored abstractions, which
allude to Cubism and, seemingly, to
Hans Hoffman, in conjunction with
objects made by four architects as a way
of questioning the relationship between
a work of art, its viewer and the so-
called real space in' which both are
"confronted." The .reviewer felt that the
canvases and the objects were attractive
and complemented one another nicely.

given by Walter Chandoha, a pro­

his article "One Gardener's Opinion on

Mr. Chandoha recommends Early
Cascade, Floramerica, Jubilee, Sweet

plant untried varieties, including "old
types I never got around to sampling"as
well as such new introductions as

" While reporting the death of a
former New York Ranger goalie Lome
Anderson, the Times sports pages
noted that Mr. Anderson was the goalie
when Bill Mosienko of the Chicago
Black Hawks set a record on March 23,
1952, at Madison Square Garden. Mr.
Mosienko's three goals in 21 seconds,
scored in the third period, are still the
quickest for one man in a National
Hockey League game. The puck was fed
to Mosienko each time by Gus Bodnar,
who still holds the record for the three
quickest assists. Mosienko, 62, now the
proprietor of the Bill Mosienko Lanes,
a bowling alley in Winnipeg, is Ukrai­
nian, and I suspect that Bodnar is too.

Alex Poszewanyk profiled
CHICAGO - The name Alex Posze-
wanyk is a familiar one to Weekly-
readers. He has been mentioned in the
newspaper as a director of the ODUM
Young Bandurists Ensemble, a teacher
and an inventor. More frequently he is
the roving reporter who writes about
Chicago Ukrainian community events
and a photojournalist who often docu-
ments his travels to other Ukrainian
communities.
Soon after 20-year-old Alex arrived
in Chicago from France in 1959, he
became active in the Ukrainian commu-
nity. An accordionist and lover of
Ukrainian songs, he joined the ODUM
youth organization, and he often played
for his friends during outings and sing–
alongs.
He also began his studies in the
English language and in literary Ukrai-
nian. However, this was delayed for a
few years because he was called to
serve in the U.S. Army. He served in
Munich, where he located the Ukrai-
nian community, visited Plast and
SUM camps and even joined a Ukrai-
nian dance ensemble in Ludwigsfeld. It
was during this time that the young
Alex tried his hand at journalism and
wrote his first article in the Ukrainian
language.
After his discharge, Alex resumed his
studies and once again became active in
Chicago's Ukrainian community. He
was elected president of Chicago's
ODUM branch, which was flourishing
in the early 1960s. An ODUM banduca
ensemble was organized in 1964, and
Hryhory Kytasty was invited to direct
it. This was the first ODUM bandura
ensemble established in the United
States and Alex joined it.
It was here that he developed his love
for the bandura and also met and later
married Dora - Turula .
Alex continued his education, earn-
ing a bachelor's degree at Northeastern
University during seven years of even-
ing school. His young son and daughter
attended his graduation. He also com-
pleted a two-year course in Ukrainian
education and was certified to teach in
Ukrainian schools. Alex took classes at
the Ukrainian Catholic University,
Chicago branch. His hobby, journa-
lism, soon surfaced again as he was
elected the editor of the ODUM page in
the weekly newspaper Ukrainian News.
. No. 15
He was later elected the president of
ODUM in the United States. .,
His love for music continued and he
formed a band called Troubador.
His enthusiasm for the bandura also
continued. He wanted to introduce hi.s–
children. Paul and Motria, to the
bandura at an early age and built them
half-size banduras. At that time, mem-
bership in the original bandura en-
semble began to decline and Alex
taught his children at home.
In 1980, Alex's friends from the
original bandura ensemble, who by this
time also had children of their own,
asked Alex to teach their children how
to play the bandura. So a new ensemble
was formed. The dedicated bandura
instructor persevered, spending long
hours with the kids.
Soon they made their first public
appearance, and their subsequent per-
formances were greeted with enthu-
siasm. Today, there are almost 30
bandurists who play and sing.
Most recently, nine members of the
ensemble were asked to perform in the
combined bandurist ensemble at the
Fourth World Congress of Free Ukrai-
nians in Toronto, directed by Mr.
Kytasty. This was quite an honor for
Alex who first started playing with Mr.
Kytasty over 20 years ago.
Although the bandura is perhaps
Alex's greatest love, he also finds time
to be the chairman of the Central
Committee of ODUM, serve as vice-
president of the Selfreliance Federal
Credit Union in Chicago, teach Ukrai-
nian school and belong to several
citizens' committees.
As a hobby, he enjoys auto mechanics.
He works on sports cars and has even
built an prototype trailer from a Re-
nault LeCar, which he dubbed LcHalf
Car.
And, oh yes, Alex'has time to work
for a living. He is an HVAC designer.
Alex belongs to UNA Branch 423.

A REPORT ON THE MEMORIAL FUND RAISING CAMPAIGN FOR
THE BUILDING OFTHE UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC NATIONAL SHRINE
OF THE HOLY FAMILY, WASHINGTON, D.C.
Press Release No. 20 - PART II - (From August 1, 1983 to January 1, 1984)
During the post 5 yeors our Memorial Campaign has been conducted in 169 parishes in
the United States, as well as 4 in Canada. Still awaiting our visit are 40 parishes and missions
in the United States.
As the parishes and missions are visited, donors choose Memorials (which they benefit
according to their pledges) or Lesser Donations. Periodically we publish them as Memorials
chosen and Lesser Donations"given. The word total in parenthesis (total) after the figures
indicates that the benefactors have exceeded their originally pledged Memorials, or have
exceeded their previously given Lesser Donations.
If you notice any error in this report please notify us immediately in Washington and so
help us to keep our campaign records straight. Our address 4250 Harewood N.E.
Washington, D.C. 20017. Our telephone - (202) 526-3737.
The next major step in the Shrine's construction, is scheduled to begin in the (jutumn of
1984. Then the erection of the upper portion of Shrine will begin, provided we have in cash
one half of the amount needed for this beautiful phase. If all the Memorial pledges thot
have thus been made are fulfilled, we will begin work on schedule.
We sincerely thank all our Dear Benefactors for the generous gifts that they have
made, and pray that Almighty God may bountifully bless them!

та місійних станиць до відвідування.
При відвідинах парафій, жертводавці вибирають Пам'ятники (які сплачують після своїх
спроможностей) або дають Менші Пожертви. Ми періодично опубліковуємо їх, як вибрані

і тим чином поможете нам правильно провадити записки кампанії.

will convene its regularly scheduled
mid-year meeting at the Ramada Inn in
East Hanover, N.J., during the weekend
of April 27-29.
The Saturday afternoon session will
feature panel discussions open to the
public concerning denaturalization
proceedings by the U.S. Department of
Justice Office of Special Investigation
(OS1) which have recently been in the
news. Mark O'Connor, the counsel on
appeal for the defendant in U.S. vs.
Demjanjuk, and Donald J. Williamson,
counsel for the defedant in U.S. vs.
Kungys, will offer insights into the
problems encountered in defending
denaturalization cases, in challenging
the Israeli "Eichmann"extradition law,
in objecting to the use of Soviet-
generated evidence and other issues.
Mr. Williamson has the distinction of
being the first attorney to succeed
