Thirty-one chapters—from the introduction “The Bereziv Nobility” and “The Terrible Retribution” to “The Open Treasure,” where the workers’ joke about a “pot of money” under an old maple tree attracts a gendarme, and the finale “The Death of Khudan”: the opryshky, beaten by the nobility, confesses before the community, while Kalyna closes his eyes.

In the preface, he explains that the story is not fictional: it is based on tales told by old people from Vyzhnii Berezove and other Hutsul villages, which he heard as a child and “retained to this day.” The opryshky are portrayed not as ordinary robbers, but as children of the free Carpathians who fled from service in a foreign army; the blame for the “corruption of the souls” of these people is laid on the Austro-Polish authorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book was published and printed by the Toronto weekly “Ukrainskyi Robitnyk”—the organ of the “Sich” society in Canada, later the Union of Hetmanist Statists.

The second section, “Ukrainians — as Individuals,” is a sharp self-criticism: the people possess a high sense of individualism, but lack a sense of national unity. The epigraph consists of stanzas from “Poesie religiose” by the Italian poet Mario Rapisardi, in which the “Ruthenian Enceladus” undermines the base of the bloody wheel; in the author’s note, the Ruthenian Enceladus became Ukrainian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVasyl Pachovsky (1878–1942) was a poet, playwright, and historian, and one of the founders of “Moloda Muza.” Already in the first paragraph of the pamphlet, he refers to his own drama “The Dream of a Ukrainian Night,” where the same idea of reviving Cossack glory “took hold with a flame.” Later, the historiographical theme became his leading one — all the way to “The World Mission of Ukraine” (1933).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essay was first published in 1907 in Galicia; the 1917 New York edition was the second.

Instead of a preface, an excerpt from Marx's \"Introduction to the Critique of Political Economy\" is provided. The translator Porfiry Dzatlov founded the \"Communist Library\" series, transferred it to the CPSG in 1920, and in 1921 headed the party's Foreign Committee in Vienna—hence the four cities on the title page, in which the book was actually printed with emigrant money.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64589857587571,"sku":"SKU-00576","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15528964850035.jpg?v=1793985755"},{"product_id":"bochkovskyi-borotba-narodiv-za-natsionalne-vyzvolennia-1932","title":"Bochkivskyi Olhaurd.

The Ukrainian reader was meant to recognize himself here: in the chapter on Belgium, the author directly compares the Flemish-Walloon dispute with the Ukrainian-Polish enmity in Galicia, and calls the Zbruch the internal border of Ukraine. Each essay is accompanied by a map of the nation’s ethnic territory: the map of Lusatia, featuring the coats of arms of Upper and Lower Lusatia, was reproduced from the book of Czech Sorabist Josef Pata, “Łužica” (Prague, 1919); the fold-out color map of Iceland, with Ukrainian conventional signs, was drawn by S.

He was wearing a Plastek shirt, and the Polish authorities used this as a pretext to ban “Plast.” A portrait of Pysetskyi with a caption about his “heroic death” appears at the beginning of the book, while the poem is dated 5 October 1930—the height of the pacification of Galicia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poem consists of several parts and unfolds as a vision: the hero returns “from the East to a foreign land” and sees Galicia ravaged. Next is a student room with a portrait of Shevchenko, where “Surma,” an underground organ of the UVO, is being read, followed by militants cutting “compromise bridges” and wires, and a battle in which Slavko kills himself with a final shot, saying, “For you I perish, Ukraine beloved...” The finale directly recounts Pysetskyi’s death, while the indignant lines about the “production of pamphlets and newspapers” are directed at the legal policy, which, in the author’s view, was already worthless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brochure was published without any publication details—no place, year, or printing house—although in interwar Poland every publication was required to have them. For a text praising a UVO militant during the pacification, this is most likely an indication of an illegal edition. This copy made its way to America: an inscription on the first page of the text records that it was given as a gift in Minneapolis in October 1972.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67124339278195,"sku":"SKU-00952","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15600513581427.jpg?v=1793986019"},{"product_id":"lepkyi-bohdan-struny-antolohiia-ukrainskoi-poezii-ch-1-berlin-1922","title":"Lepkyi Bohdan (ed.).

The list of illustrations provides for each work the year, material, height, and owner — from private collections to museums in Mannheim, Rotterdam, Essen, Hague, and Osaka. The introductory article was written by German art historian Hans Hildebrandt (1878–1957), professor at the Technical Higher School in Stuttgart, friend of the Bauhaus artists.

In 1921–1923, he lived in Berlin, where he opened his own art school, and later moved to New York.
