The work was printed in the first issue of the journal Vitchyzna in 1968 and subsequently published by the Dnipro and Radyanskyi Pysmennyk publishing houses.

The title was changed at the last moment: Ihor Kostetsky managed to send a review of “A Cluster of Berries” to the New York-based “Horizont” (October 1951), in which he called the twenty-year-old author a genius while also mocking the original title. The book contains nineteen poems, mostly intimate autumn lyrics—“The Rose Left the Moon,” “The Old Woman,” “Cain,” “Medieval,” “Lament for Ophelia”—with a motto from Ecclesiastes and a dedication to her mother. Even this brochure divided the critics of the emigration: Volodymyr Derzhavyn saw Andiivska as the first female surrealist poet in Ukrainian literature, while Yurii Sherekh denied her early poems the right to be called poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmma Andiivska (b. 1931) — poet, prose writer, and painter.

In the spring of 1675, after the Tatar raid on the Sich at Christmas 1674, Hetman Ivan Sirko marched into Crimea and liberated captives. Some of them—tumy, meaning, as the author explains in a note, children born among the Tatars to a Christian father or mother—wanted to return, and Sirko ordered them to be pursued and cut down. Ohiyenko turns this into a ballad: lyrical stanzas, the cries of the old Hetman, and a final address to Ukraine—the “Sorrowful Mother” waiting for her tumy to come to life. The text is dated December 24, 1916, but was not printed until thirty years later, in exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetropolitan Hilarion—Ivan Ohiyenko (1882–1972), linguist, historian of church and culture, translator of the Holy Scriptures into Ukrainian, and under the Ukrainian People’s Republic, rector of Kamianets-Podilskyi University and Minister of Education.

The narrative begins on August 4, 1914, when mobilization was announced in the author’s home village of Kariv in the Rovno region. In the autumn of 1915, he was drafted into the 89th Infantry Regiment in Ryshcheve; next came the front and Russian captivity, service in the All-Russian Union of Cities in Kyiv, where in 1917 he bought his first Ukrainian books in a Ukrainian bookstore formerly operated by the “Kyivska Starina” publishing house, and bitterly marveled that the Czech prisoners of war enjoyed more freedom than a Ukrainian on his own land. Then came the revolution, typhus in a Ternopil hospital in the winter of 1920, and his return home on October 22, 1922. The author intersperses personal accounts with concise overviews of events—from the terms of the Versailles and Saint-Germain peace treaties to the 1923 decision of the Council of Ambassadors, which, in his words, meant that “our war of liberation and all our struggles had ended in failure.” Modern historians still refer to these memoirs, particularly the account of the scout Semen Korol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNestor Iwanyna (b. 1894) came from a poor peasant family in Kariv near Uhniv. He was taken from the gymnasium to the front; after his captivity, he studied in Kyiv, and in 1923, as he writes, went to Berlin University to study at the studio. In Polish-occupied Lviv in the 1930s, the historian found no work; according to his fellow villagers, he invested the royalties from “Iron Years” in a village shop, and under Soviet rule taught mathematics in the villages of Volyn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book was published in November 1937 as No. 59 of the “Ukrainian Library,” a monthly series published by Ivan Tyktor’s “Ukrainska Presa” concern between 1933 and 1939.

Its publication was decided by the First Congress of the People of the Land Beyond the Bug in 1981, and the compilers set out to recreate “all aspects of life” in the region: its history, church, cooperatives, schools, and liberation movement, while essays on individual villages, towns, and institutions complete this mosaic. Vol. 1 includes, among other things, Hlariion Kalynievych’s essay on the history of Kamianka-Buzka, Volodymyr Sichynskyi’s survey of Kholm, Mykhailo Lesiv’s study of the dialects of Podliashshia and Kholmshchyna, Ambassador Stepan Baran’s speeches in the Polish Sejm in 1938, and Anatol Demus’s text on the forced expulsion of Ukrainians from Podliashshia, Kholmshchyna, and Lemkivshchyna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe editor-in-chief of the three diaspora volumes was Mykola Martyniuk (1915–1994), a journalist and library scholar from Sokalschina, a member of the OUN, who had lived in the United States since 1952 and was a librarian of Slavic collections at the University of Indiana at Bloomington.

Further — slogans from “The City” to “Peremyshlianyn.” Among the major articles — “Paris” by A. Zhukovskyi, “Pacification” by V. Mudryi, “Predkarpattia” by V. Kubiyovych, “Translated Literature” by A. Zhukovskyi and B. Kravtsiv, “The Peremyshl Eparchy” by P.

Next is a program for decades: to move the work across the ocean, most likely to Toronto, to found there the Institute of the Encyclopedia of Ukrainian Studies, to publish an English-language encyclopedia, an encyclopedia of the diaspora, supplements, statistical yearbooks, and an atlas.

The journal published the works of the society’s expert commissions and traveled with the emigration: Munich, Montreal, Cleveland, Denver.
