There were about three thousand such alumni in the United States at the time—professors, doctors, lawyers, engineers, agronomists, writers, musicians. The collection traces the history of the city from its founding by King Danylo through the Magdeburg Law, the patriciate, and the merchant classes—Armenians, Greeks, Italians, the Cretan Korniakt, the Hungarian Boim—to the Austrian era, education, the church, and the national revival. A separate section is devoted to photographs: St. George, streets near the Old Castle, the city seal of 1353; most of the illustrations come from Apolinar Osdets’s photo collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVasyl Mudryi (1893–1966) was a journalist and politician, head of the Ukrainian National Democratic Alliance, vice-marshal of the Polish Sejm, editor of Dil, and head of Prosvita; in exile from 1944, executive director of the Ukrainian Catholic Ukrainian Association, and member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society’s board. He compiled this volume and wrote its introduction.

The diaspora’s English-language publication became a way to introduce the Ukrainian perspective on Lviv’s past into Western scholarly circles—in 1964, the book was reviewed by Slavic Review.

The collection presents dishes that were prepared at the end of the 19th and in the first half of the 20th centuries in the parish halls, farmsteads, and homes of Galicia’s urban intelligentsia—hence the subtitle of the first edition, “Old Recipes from Galicia.” The sections proceed from appetizers and buffet fare, borscht, and soups to meat, game, fish, and vegetables, then to biscuits, cakes, puddings, and jellies, berries and orchard fruits, and homemade liqueurs—mead, kvass, and lemon liqueur; finally, measures and weights and an alphabetical index. The book opens with Lidiia Burachynska’s essay “The Rich Path” and Nataliia Chaplenko’s “Culinary Glossary”: the recipes are written in the living culinary vocabulary of Galicia, with terms such as “perkusknyky,” “zakryshka,” and “sokovyk.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZevenia Terletska was a Philadelphia housewife who for years wrote household advice for the pages of “Nashe Zhyttia,” the journal of the Ukrainian Women’s Union of America; her articles appeared there from at least the early 1960s.

The book consists of two distinct parts. The first — the American tribune: speeches by Senators Theodore Green and Irving Ives, an introduction by Congressman Michael Feagan, a preface by the head of the UAA, Lev Dobriansky, and a review of “Ten Years of the UPA Struggle (1942–1952)” by Lev Shankovsky. The second, larger part — English translations of texts by the underground itself: stories, underground satire, an excerpt from a play, combat memoirs, orders, and the programmatic work of UPA Major Petro Poltava (Petro Fedun, 1919–1951), “The Conception of Independent Ukraine,” written in 1946 and first published in Ukraine in 1947; translated from a reprint smuggled west by insurgents in 1948.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustrations are a particular value of the volume.

His woodcut “If Tomorrow There Is War” is presented with a reference to an underground leaflet printed in Ukraine in 1949. The volume also includes the sculpture “Head of a Girl” by Mykhailo Chereshnyovsky, a former UPA soldier.

The publication belongs to the English-language series of publications by the Ukrainian emigration during the Cold War, intended for American politicians and journalists rather than their own. The bibliography at the end of the volume documents this milieu: the Munich quarterly “Do Zbroi,” works by Mykola Lebed, Oleh Martovych, Petro Mirchuk, and Clarence Manning, and Khashevych’s woodcut album published by “Prologue” in Philadelphia in 1952.

The text was first published in the Munich-based Ukrainian Literary Gazette, and only then appeared as a separate book—according to the preface, with some cuts. Written in the early 1940s during the war, the work covers only the prewar two decades and ends with the destruction of literary organizations during the “Yezhovshchina.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetrov develops his argument from a general outline—Bolshevism and the intelligentsia, the proletarianization of specialists, the 1919 decree abolishing diplomas and academic degrees—to the specific fates of individuals. Separate essays are devoted to Yevhen Pluzhnyk, Dmytro Fal’kivskyi, Hryhorii Kosyntsi, Mykola Khvylovyi, Mykola Zerov, Mykhailo Drai-Khmar, and the liquidation of literary organizations: Vaplite, Lanky-Marsu, Nova Generatsiya, the Neo-Classicists, and Zahidna Ukraina. The sections “The Seventiers” and “The Unified” show that the same fate befell both the contemporaries of the October Revolution and writers of an older generation. The appendices contain selected poetry, including an excerpt from Volodymyr Sosiura’s “Two Volodys” and Yevhen Pluzhnyk’s 1926 poem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViktor Petrov (1894–1969) was an archaeologist, ethnographer, literary historian, and prose writer, known by the pseudonym V. Domontovych. He himself was a participant in and witness to the milieu he describes, and this is precisely what distinguishes the book from later studies: he writes about almost every one of his subjects as if they were an acquaintance. The edition launched the “Sotsialno-Politichna Biblioteka” series by New York-based Prolog, a publishing house founded in 1952 that grew out of the Ukrainian Government-in-Exile’s Foreign Representation and became one of the leading centers for Ukrainian political books in the diaspora.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63947483611507,"sku":"SKU-00141","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15488622264691.jpg?v=1793986566"},{"product_id":"hunchak-taras-ukraina-i-polshcha-v-dokumentakh-1983","title":"Hunchak Taras.

Hyatt Mayor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art chose one of his woodcuts for a purchase award at the Minneapolis print exhibition, and weeks later an oil still life was awarded at the Minnesota State Art Exhibition; that same year he moved from St. Paul to New York. His first one-man show of paintings, small sculpture and ceramics came in 1954 at the Eggleston Gallery; he worked in Paris on his Parisian scenes in 1956–1958, and from 1958 to 1964 showed almost annually at Harry Salpeter's gallery in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe institute's introduction explains why the exhibition was called the years of search. In the afterword to \"Flora Exotica\" (1972) Hnizdovsky wrote that the doubts he had brought from Europe had grown in him to crisis proportions. Lacking money for new canvas, he repainted his own pictures until they grew heavy as lead, and destroyed a number of them; what he could not resolve on canvas he tried in sculpture, ceramics and colour lino-cut. In the early sixties he returned to the woodcut, his first love, and it was the woodcuts that brought him wide recognition. Because so many canvases were destroyed or painted over, the decade 1950–1960 remained his least known and most varied period — and this catalogue is one of the few illustrated sources for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64589810368883,"sku":"SKU-00189","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15528936833395.jpg?v=1793988338"},{"product_id":"velychko-mykola-makivka-z-karpatskykh-boiv-uss-iv-niu-york-1951","title":"Velychko Mykola.

The first section recalls the pre-war tradition of annual commemorations of Makivka in cities and villages across Western Ukraine, where young people played the leading role. The second explains why the legion was unable to assemble: Austria’s war plans had fallen into Russian hands as early as April 1914, two Russian armies had crossed the Zbruch, and on August 29, the Combat Administration ordered the Riflemen to break through to a new assembly point in Stryi. The third section is devoted to the battles themselves, while the fourth presents the author’s thesis: for the first time in 205 years since Poltava, Ukrainian armed forces had gone into battle against Russia and won, and the author likens the legion of schoolchildren and students to the hoplites at Marathon.
