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 publishing committee was headed by Volodymyr Bohachevsky and included Oleksandr Hladyshovsky, Nataliia Koval, Roman Osynchuk, and Roman Stefanyuk; the funds were raised among the alumni themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume was published in 1962, when Lviv was part of the Soviet Union, and the official celebration of the city’s 700th anniversary presented its history without a Ukrainian component. 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 Shevchenko Scientific Society’s scholarly volumes were printed in small editions in America and distributed mainly to university libraries, so they are rare in private collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52872230175091,"sku":"SKU-00002","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15157274116467.jpg?v=1793985764"},{"product_id":"petro-mirchuk-ukrainska-povstanska-armiia-1942-1952-cicero-1953","title":"Petro Mirchuk.

Harasavych published a refutation in an appendix to the same journal and soon died — and Zubrzycki, who had counted on his notes, was forced to write it himself, having only his own collections and the assistance of Canon Hryhorii Yakhymovych (1792–1863), the future Galician Metropolitan. He divided the exposition into five periods: 988–1340, 1340–1596, 1596–1707, 1707–1772, and the period from the reconquista of Galicia and Lodomeria to the restoration of the Galician Metropolia; this first issue covers the first of them.

In 1936, Mykhailo Koziia from Bohdanivka near Skalat was drafted into the 10th Polish Infantry Regiment in Łowitsche, where, according to him, Ukrainians made up a third of the regiment; in September 1939, he fell into Bolshevik captivity, passed through camps in Volhynia, the Urals, and Turkestan, and was later released as part of the amnesty for Polish citizens, after which he joined General Anders’ army. He then served in Jalalabad, Iran, Iraq, the Holy Land, Monte Cassino, Ancona, Rimini, Rome, and finally Canada. The most compelling chapter, “The Secret Congress,” describes how approximately twenty thousand Ukrainians in the Second Corps searched for one another at football matches and in the bathhouse, how they demanded their own priest for Easter, and how the Polish “two-man” police force was alarmed by their clandestine activities.

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.

His woodcut “If Tomorrow There Is War” is presented with a reference to an underground leaflet printed in Ukraine in 1949.

The author warns that he had to omit names, facts, and locations that could be of use to the enemy, and that he wrote more about others than about himself. In the foreword, Bohdan Stbelskyi calls this not a dry register of events, but a gallery of figures presented in a concise style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMykola Klymyshyn (1909–2003) was born in Mostytsi in Kalushchyna, belonged to the UVO and OUN, was one of the defendants in the Warsaw trial of 1935–1936 in the murder case of Minister Broslav Petratskyi, passed through the Kraków prison of Montelupich and Auschwitz, and in 1941 headed the Northern Expeditionary Group of the OUN in the march on Kyiv. From 1949, he lived in Detroit: youth liaison of the Main Command of the OUN, chairman of the Main Council of the OUN, employee of “Homin Ukrainy” and “Shliakh Peremohy,” Doctor of Literary Studies, full member of the NTSH.

The author describes his text as a hasty, fragmentary sketch with no pretensions to be a monograph and emphasizes that no one had yet addressed the question of the connection between the Lviv Studite Order and Ukrainian art. The book develops from the position of Ukrainian painters within the guild system of Lviv to the Order’s work on church construction, from the masters Senkovych, Petrakhovych, the Korunak family, and Oleksandr Lyanytsky to an analysis of the Order’s inventories, the fate of the preserved paintings, and Polish and Ukrainian historiography of Galician icon painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMykola Holubets (1891–1942) was an art historian, historian, writer, and editor.
