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.

He compiled this volume and wrote its introduction.

Further, the explosion of an ammunition depot in Tiraspol, a meeting of free lance soldiers under the aim of machine guns, a night in a nobleman’s palace where two men warmed themselves by dismantling a litter for firewood, and a retreat during which the author searched on foot for his unit, questioning passersby. The author tells his story without pathos, with bitter humor, and that is precisely why the book reads like a record of the everyday life of the Liberation Struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValentin \n Symianets (1899–1992) was a soldier, hydraulic engineer, and sculptor originally from Velykyi Burluk in the Kharkiv region. He served in the Ukrainian army from 1918, under the Central Rada, the Ukrainian State, and the Directorate, and was a Cossack in the cavalry unit of the Bohdan Khmelnytsky Regiment, as well as a participant in the First Winter Campaign. In 1923, he illegally crossed the border into Czechoslovakia, graduated from the Ukrainian Agricultural Academy in Poděbrady, lived in the United States from 1949, and died in Philadelphia. “Memoirs of a Bohdanivets” was his first book of memoirs; later came “Student Days” (Washington, 1973), “Years of Cossack Service, 1917–1923” (Philadelphia, 1976), and “An Emigrant Engineer in Czechoslovakia” (1978).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBohdanivets were soldiers of the 1st Ukrainian Cossack Regiment named after Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, the first Ukrainian national military unit of the Central Rada era, formed in Kyiv in the spring of 1917. Chervona Kalyna was a publishing cooperative founded in Lviv in the early 1920s by veterans of Ukrainian military formations, liquidated by the Soviet authorities in 1939, and restored in New York in 1949. In the Ukrainian SSR, this subject was censored, so the emigrant memoirs of the Bohdanivets remain one of the few firsthand accounts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62316022858099,"sku":"SKU-00069","price":850.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15232595657075.jpg?v=1793989379"},{"product_id":"babii-oleksa-povstantsi-chykaho-1956","title":"Babi Olha.

The action takes place in the ancient village of Luk nad Dnistrom, near old Galicia, where the Dniester meets the Limnytsia; at its center is the family of the priest Ivan Horodnyk and his daughter Olha. The sections “Young Days, Days of Spring,” “The Enemy Approaches,” and “The Army in the Forests” trace the course from spring plowing through the defeat of Poland and the arrival of foreign armies to the peasant uprising: the young men go into the forests, the detachment is led by Otaman Zhuk, and the old priest, who for half a century taught them to love their enemy, must decide whether he can take up arms for his native land.

After the war, he lived in DP camps in Munich, and from 1949 onward in Chicago, where he died. “Insurgents” is his latest poem, following “Hutsul Kurin” (1927) and “Harvest” (1946).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book was published by the Chicago-based Literary Publishing House, with the publisher’s mark “A.
