The appendices contain eight documents, including a joint letter by Volodymyr Kubiyovych and Volodymyr Dubrovsky on the cooperation of the two committees, the Declaration of the UNK, and correspondence between the Presidium of the UCK and the President of the UNR; at the end is a list of sources and an index of names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKost Panykivsky (1897–1974) — a lawyer and political figure, born in Lviv.

The second — the views of fifty art historians and critics who wrote about him over half a century. This is followed by a biographical chronology, lists of exhibitions, teaching work, owners of works and museums, bibliography, and numbered plates with works from 1908–1958, partly in color — from \"Carousel Pierre\" (1913) to \"Oceanic Madonna\" (1957).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOleksandr Archipenko (1887–1964) was born in Kyiv, worked in Paris from 1908, later in Berlin, and in the USA from 1923.

The introductory article was written by Sviatoslav Hordynskyi (1906–1993) — an artist and art historian who had been writing about Archipenko in the diaspora press since the 1940s.

The subtitle “novel of experience” is no coincidence: orphaned at an early age, the hero had brothers Yevhen and Volodymyr — the author himself had lost his father early and had a brother named Volodymyr.

He spent three years as a prisoner of war in Italian camps, later living in Rochester, New York, where he assembled a historical and art archive. “Lvivska bratiya” was his second book after “Memoirs of a Front-Line Soldier” (Munich, 1952); later came “Belyaria — Rimini — England” (1968) and “Her Laughter Did Not Scare Me…” (1975).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe novel was published by the Toronto Brotherhood of Former Soldiers of the 1st Ukrainian Division of the OUN, which published the memoirs and fiction of its members.

The theme of the first volume is the Ukrainian soul itself. Yevhen Onatsky (1894–1979) analyzes “Ukrainian Emotionality,” drawing from Lypynsky and Chyzhevsky; Oleksander Kulchytsky (1895–1980) in “The Ukrainian’s Worldview” relies on Jung and Adler; Bohdan Tsymbalysty derives national character from the structure of the family; Mykola Shlemkevych seeks it in song; Volodymyr Doroshenko (1879–1963) provides a brief bibliographic review of the literature on the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMykola Shlemkevych (1894–1966) — philosopher and publicist, full member of the NTSh, editor of the collection; other works of his were published by the “Klyuchi” publishing house — “The Lost Ukrainian Person” (1954) and “Galicianism” (1956) in the “Life and Thoughts” series.
