Parallel English title — \"For Freedom and Sovereignty\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSemen Levchenko was a major in the Ukrainian army and a direct participant in the events described, so the novel is based on his own memory rather than archives. The introductory essay was written by Mykola Veres. The illustrations were done by Robert Lisovsky (1893–1982) — a graphic artist, student of Heorhii Narbut, and designer of dozens of diaspora publications and the \"Tryzub\" emblem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book was published in London before the 50th anniversary of the liberation struggles of 1917–1921, at the expense of the author and his wife. Such editions by the author rarely entered the bookstore network and circulated among veteran communities, so they are infrequently found in circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62109476323699,"sku":"SKU-00037","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15178048340339.jpg?v=1793986924","url":"https:\/\/archivevam.com\/en\/products\/levchenko-semen-za-voliu-i-derzhavu-london-1966","provider":"ARCHIVEVAM РІДКІСНІ КНИГИ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
