: Excerpt from Issue #17 May 28, 2002 The Day, by Prof. James MACE (re: Petro Jacyk Second International Contest in the Ukrainian Language)
: ...And I was also very sad, remembering Khvyliovy, Kosynka, Drai- Khmara, Epik, and all of those who died a violent death so young, and the hundreds, thousands, millions that had to die just because they were Ukrainians and spoke Ukrainian. Such a contest would have been unthinkable only fifteen years ago; its organizers would have been persecuted and made to live elsewhere in the Soviet empire; thirty years ago, they would have been arrested, tried, and sent to prison camps; earlier, they would have been shot without trial, and the “enemy of the people” brand would remain on their posterity.....

: Ukrainian-Canadians set up a benevolent Friends of Ukraine Society assisted by Canadian and Ukrainian scholars, political and cultural figures, and aimed at the national revival, democratic, and economic development of Ukraine. The society has a noble mission, making a large assortment of printed matter, issued in the West and never censored, available to all popular strata...Ukraine is placed last among European countries in terms of books published in the official language.
Speaking of publishing, would anyone care to finance the publishing of my book, SKARB YAROSLAVA in Ukraine? see www.slovnyk.org/txt/petriwm/index/html ????
