A HISTORY OF AMERICAN LIFE (the Emergence of modern America 186 5


1873 by Allan Nevins, New York, 1932, p. 3 1 9 ):
New York had a hundred thousand slum dwellers, sheltered in nearly twenty

there was a congestion wich had probably never been equaled in any other city
of Christendom .

7 It produced a philosophy with a healthy enough basic principle: the necessity
and desirability of the survival of the strongest and the best; but when the doctrine
appeared in practice, it was bare, unrelieved selfishness-fierce, cruel, anti-social .

9 Theodore Roosevelt, Bryan and Wilson represented each within his party:
,,a mood, in which the common man regarded himself as oppressed, as in danger
of becoming stratified economically, a mood of revolt against organized wealth, of
resentment against the union of ,,big business and the boss system in politics .
(OUR TIMES. THE TURN OF THE CENTURY (1 9 0 0 - 1 9 0 4 ), by Mark Sullivan,
p. 10 2 ).

10 ,,The average American in the 1 880s accepted democracy as he accepted the


telephone, sanitary plumbing and the electric light, expecting someone to furnish him
with as much of them as he needed, or could afford, and keep them in goodi running
order. (A HISTORY OF AMERICAN LIFE, by Arthur Meier Schlesinger, Volume X,
p. 3 8 7 ) .

By 1885 the United States had become the first manufacturing country in
the world. The new wealth of the nation did not filter down to its producers, however,
except in a thin and unsteady stream. Unwilling to depend upon chance or generosity,
the labor movement gave battle. The great Riots of 187 7, the Homestead battle and
the Pullman strike were but a few of the instances in which the agony of labor broke
out in revolt. To stifle these rebellions, three factors were brought into play: the
private detective agencies, the courts and the military . (I BREAK STRIKES, the
Technique of Pearl L. Bergoff, by Edward Levinson, New York, 1936, p. 1 8 ).

Theoretically the European and the American recognize the fact that black
and yellow, and copper-colored creatures also have the right to exist.
In practice,
however, they prefer such creatures when they know their place and shine their
boots for them or do their masters laundering. (AMERICA, by Hendrik Van Loon,
1927, p. 4 1 2 ).

17 Thus, while capitalistic greed ground the faces of the poor under its iron
heel, individual potentates of wealth lavished millions upon hospitals, libraries, colleges,
churches, museums and art galleries for the good of all. While the panic palsied the
countrys industrial energies and turned hordes of the jobless into the streets, an
extraordinary outburst of philantropic relief effort attested the essential humanness
of the American ch a r a c te r ... (THE RELIEF OF THE UNEMPLOYED DURING WINTER

our youth ,
.
The Ukrainian Weekly is for the youth.
The youth alone shall be
its matter.
Its voice alone shall be heeded here.
The Ukrainian National Association has undertaken to bear extra cost
of this publication, in order to give our youth the opportunity of having an
exclusive organ of its own; written in its own style and language; wherein
it can meet, exchange its thoughts and ideas, come to a better understanding
of each other, and perhaps point out those paths of endeavor which shall
lead to a newer and better life.

Editors Note: We regret, that lack of space prevented the inclusion


within this Jubilee Book of the Ukrainian National Association a number
of articles especially prepared for it, and our regret is made the keener by
the realization that among them there were several from the younger genera
tion. All of them, however, like those published herein, are characterized
by a spirit of optimism for the future Ukrainian-American life, a spirit which
has its source in the inspiring advance this group life has made in the face
6i seem ingly insurmountable obstacles and which finds expression in the
hymn of the Ukrainian National Association:
Under the stars and stripes we stand united,
T ogether striving for a better w a y . . .

7 Thus in 1621 the Kozak Hetman, Sahaydachny, saved the Polish army
which was surrounded by a large Turkish force near Khotin. A similar role was
played by the Kozak divisions which came to the aid of Jan Sobieski, defeating
the Turks near Vienna, in 1683.
8 The Polish historian Kubala writes of this figure who was the Ukrainian
Cromwell, W ashington and Bolivar: Strangers compared him with Cromwell. The
comparison forces itself to the attention, especially of the age when these tw o men
drew upon them selves the undivided interest of Europe. Both lived and died at
practically the same time. Both were standing enemies of the ruling church and
governm ent of their countries and in the later years of their lives both stood at the
head of an uprising that could boast of progress which could put to shame the teachings
and experience of the greatest warriors and diplomats. Each created a mighty army
by w hose help he governed, and both died at the heights of their power, willing
their position to thei children.
A letter from Cromwell to Khmelnitsky shows that the great Englishman saw
in Khmelnitsky a champion of freedom.

An interesting historical fact may be recalled in connection with the policy
of Russia toward Ukraine. In 1706 Peter II offered to John Churchill, the first Duke
of Marlborough, the Principality of Kiev, with the crown of Ukraine. This fact
is recorded in Cambridge Modern History, vol. V, chapter 9, page 595.
n In the British Museum and the Bibliothique Nationale at Paris there may
be seen a series of maps showing Europe during the 14, 15, 16, and 17th centuries.
On these maps Muscovy and Ukraina are shown as different countries. These
differentiations disappeared at the time of Catherine II. The Russian Imperial
Government began to call Muscovy, Great Russia , and Ukraina, Little Russia .

The republican ideals of the Ukrainians were not a hazy notion but an
actuality. They took the form of a well defined political conception as expressed
in the pacts and constitution of laws and liberties of the Ukrainian Republic pro
claimed by Hetman Orlik and the elected leaders of the Zaporozhian Army, on April
5. 1710. T hese pacts were in direct opposition to the principles of the despotic
M uscovite empire. According to this constitution Ukraine was to be a republic
with an elected president (hetm an), with publicly elected administrative bodies, and
a parliament w ithout whose consent neither the hetman nor his ministers could
proclaim laws or tax the people. The members of this parliament swore, first of all,
allegiance to their country' and den loyalty to the hetman. Spirit of Ukraine,
by D. Snowyd, 193 5 ). This constitution, formulated only tw enty years after the
Declaration o f the Rights of Man and 79 year before the French Revolution, was
the first Ukrainian constitution.

is Commenting on this, the Independent (March 2, 1918. Incorporated with


Harpers W eekly) said: Tyranny dethrons tyranny, and Satan casts out Satan. It
seems that malevolent monarchies may do more for the liberation of an oppressed
people than benevolent republics have d o n e . . . i t is unfortunate that the Peoples
Republic (Ukraine) is receiving recognition and aid from the Central Powers while
the Allies, pledged to champion oppressed nationalities, must stand aloof and averse.

Concerning this, Henry G. Alsberg of the Nation (November 1, 1 919)
had this to say in connection with the Situation in Ukraine : But worst of all
is that every third person in Kamanietz has had typhus. In the other cities the
situation is the same. In the army it is worse. At Vapniak I was with Petlura at a
review of a frontier garrison where out of a thousand troops at least two hunderd
had had typhus. Against the epidemic Petluras government is quite powerless to
make headway. The Ukrainians are condemned to death by the fact that the Entente
is backing Denikin. In an interview I had with Petlura, he begged that if only for
humanitys sake the Red Cross would send over a mission to fight typhus. Let me
add here that right across the river in Rumania are all the medical supplies necessary,
as well as plenty of food with which to feed the dying Ukrainian children. The head
of the American Red Cross in Czernowitz, and also the head in Bucharest, had
a first impulse to send supplies here. But two American Red Cross delegates have
since come from Paris, who say that they will have to go first to the Ukraine to
investigate conditions. One of them told me that the Entente had; decided to back
Denikin, and would do nothing for the Ukrainians in Petluras territory. In short,
far from having any mission to relieve the terrible suffering, they had been sent
merely to report on how near Petlura was to breaking down.

20 Ukraine and the Balance of Power Century magazine. July, 1921.


21 From 1920 to 1934 the number of Ukrainian schools has been reduced
from 3,600 to 120; 2,9 7 4 schools have been made bi-lingual, but only a few unim^
portant. subjects are taught in Ukrainian. Not a -sin g le Ukrainian tech n ical school
exists; and out of the 2 8 ,8 5 5 ,4 2 0 zlotys allocated in the 1934 35 budget for
universities and colleges, only 63,490 zlotys were assigned for two Ukrainian chairs
in Warsaw Universtity. Rigorous restrictions are placed upon the entry of Ukrainian
students to the higher schools and universities. In 1931 32, out of 4 9 ,770 uni
versity students,, there were only 2,192 Ukrainian students. The . students in Warsaw
Engineering College then were divided as follows: Poles, 3,692; Jews, 468; Ukrain
ians, 6.
(Lancelot Lawton in the London Fortnightly Review, April, 1 9 3 4 ). Fur
thermore, those Ukrainians who do manage to graduate from the higher schools,

find all sorts of obstacles and discriminations placed in their way of entering the pro
fessions, and find no outlet for their abilities in the state administration of Poland
as long as they do not renounce their Ukrainian ideals. ( Political Quarterly (Eng
land), Oct.-Dec., 1 9 3 2 ). Then too, to drive hostile Polish wedges into the compact
Ukrainian settlem ents, th e Polish Government resorts to artificial settlem ent o f
Ukrainian territories with Polish colonists, selling them their plots at greatly
preferential rates. Various m anifestations held by th e Ukrainians are often banned
or dispersed by Polish police. Even memorial exercises for the Ukrainian war dead
are often banned.

24 An excerpt from a resolution to famine in Ukraine, submitted in the House


of Representatives of the United States Congress by Mr. Hamilton Fish, jr., which
was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and ordered to be printed.
25 At the seventeenth Congress of the Communist Party held in January, 1934,
Stalin declared that:
Only very recently in the Ukraine the deviation towards Ukrainian
Nationalism did not represent the major danger; but when we ceased to fight
against it and enabled it to grow to the extent that it joined up with the inter*
ventionists this deviation became the major danger.

The Russian folk songs are smaller in number and variety, form and content.
Sympathetic appreciation of nature is scant. The imagination either rises to super
natural heights or; sinks to mere trifling. Criminal m onstrosities and the spirit of
destruction are glorified as objects of national worship. The conception of love is
sensual, the jesting and ribald songs disgusting. Stephen Rudnitsky: Ukraine,
the Land and Its People.

Ukraine," wrote Prof. Alexander Bruekner, the Polish scholar, in his book
oh' the Europeanization of Russia, was the equivalent of a school for Russia,"
especially after the Treaty of Pereyaslav when many Ukrainian students of the western
theology, medicine, and science migrated into Moscovy, and helped to Europeanize it.
Outstanding among them were such as Epyphany Slavynetzky, who translated Western
European geographies, works on the anatomy a n d . medicine; Meletiy Smotritsky,
Archbishop of Polotsk and a man of wide cosmopolitanism, whose grammar, published
in Kiev in 161-9, was reprinted in M oscow in 1648; Innocent Gizel, whose Synopsis
(h isto ry ), published in Ukraine in the middle of the 17th century, influenced the
R ussian: historians more than any other text up to the 18th century and was used in
their schools until the 19th century, being reprinted in Moscow in 1863; and
then later Metropolitan Dimitri Rostovsky, Stephen Yavorsky, and Theodore Pro
kopovich, the closest advisers of Peter I. Furthermore, at the convention of law
makers called together in 1767 by Catherine II the most important delegates were
the Ukrainians. During her reign, too, of the total 74 physicians in Russia S3 of them
were Ukrainians. It was the Ukrainians who taught the M uscovites the linear
method of musical notation, as well as the art of printing. Nearly all of the bishops
were Ukrainians, as well as the seminary teachers and students. Everywhere the
Ukrainian influence was felt. Ukrainian literary men, wrote the Russian Pypin,
composed works .of which no one dreamt in M oscow. . .th ey were works of grammar,
dictionaries, catechisms, histories, church teachings, general polemical church liter
ature which was equal to the literature aimed against the Orthodox Church by
the Jesuits. And also, Nicholas Gogol (Hohol, in Ukrainian), unable to write in his
native Ukrainian tongue, wrote in Russian and became the creator of the Russian
prose. In the field of music, Peter Tschaikowsky, Dmytro Bortnyansky, and Artemy
L. Vedel, generally known as Russians, were in reality Ukrainians. In painting,
Anthony Losenko, Dmytro Levitsky, Volodimir Borovikovsky, Serhiy C. Zaryanko,
Ilya E. Repin, and Rufun Sudkovsky, were all natives of Ukraine.

About this time there arose in Polish literature the so-called Ukrainian
School, composed of writers who, attracted by Ukrainian life and nature, wrote on
Ukrainian themes. Among them were three poets; B. Zaleski, A. Malczewski (w hose
Marja was tr. into Eng. by Dr. and Mrs. Coleman) and S. Goszczyski; while the
prose writers were ably represented by M. Czajkowski. Similarly in Russian liter
ature N. Gogol (Hohol h im self a Ukrainian), ., Grabowsky, and Pushkin wrote
on Ukrainian them es.

U krainka (1872-1913), who in a m asterly and poignant style deals w ith such
psychological questions as those of beauty, duty, and sacrifice. A nother
woman, and a brilliant exponent of m odem trends in literature, is Olga
Kobilanska (b. 1862) of Bukovinian origin, who w ith her im pressionistic
and highly idealistic tream ent of m odem woman in h er stories has won
considerable fam e fo r herself. Drahom aniw's sister, Olena Pchilka (1849-1930)
is also w orth m entioning here. A tran slato r of D ante's Divine Comedy and
w riter of works rich in content was V. Samiylenko (1864-1925). The fa th e r
of th e U krainian rom ance novel, I. Nechuy-Levitsky (1837-1918), found
two w orthy successors in the persons of P. M ym y (1849-1920) and B.
Hrinchenko (1863-1910). The revolutionary period of U krainian literatu re
a t th e tu rn of th e century also produced in Dnieper U kraine th e figure
of V. Vinnichenko (b. 1880) leading contem porary novelist, whose them es
range from sex to those based on social contrasts and sharply etched
characters. And finally th ere looms th e m ighty figure of Michael H rushevsky
(1866-1934), founder of th e modern U krainian scholarship, one of Europe's
outstanding historians, w riter on m any cultural and scientific topics, organizer
and a g reat political figure who died a m iserable death as . a result of
Russian Soviet persecution.
Such, so briefly outlined, has been th e development of th e U krainian
literature, along th e extrem ely tortuous and thorny road the U krainian
people had to travel down through the centuries of wars, calamities, and
oppressions. In view of this, it is indeed quite inspiring to note how fa r
th is development has advanced.
The spirit of this literatu re today is th a t of its creators, of a people
highly talented, active and strong, and yet prevented from giving full play
to these qualities within them, because, as V oltaire once said, they are
still dragging the irons of subjugation.
OTHER CULTURAL TRADITIONS
(N ote: Lack of space permit only the barest mention of the follow ing few aspects
of the Ukrainian cultural traditions.)

Language.
An Englishm an who w anted to give to his fellow countrym en an idea
of the beauties of the U krainian tongue, wrote the L iterary Digest,1 once
advised his readers to combine m entally classical Greek w ith m odem
Italian . . . Probably neither Greek nor m odem Italian, with th e ir softer
tones, possesses th e force o f Ukrainian, a force derived . ... from its strange
consonantal combination and an abundance of the deep sounds of ui and
u. I t is th is peculiarity which has made a m odem English authoress
speak of its haunting m usicality.' One of its distinguishing features is its
unparalleled aptitude fo r form ing diminutives. They are made not only
from substantives, as in other languages, b u t also from adjectives, adverbs,
and even verbs. This gives th a t singular charm referred to by P. Chevalier
in 1871: The language of U kraine is very beautiful, abundance of diminutives
and p re tty fashions of elegant speech m aking it very delicate.
Music.
The ch aracter of th e U krainian song, w rote Mikola Hohol (Gogol),
cannot be expressed in one word . . . I t is exceedingly complex. In m any
cases it is light, graceful, it hardly touches th e ground, it seems to play

and trifle with tones, while in others it assumes manly power, its tones
grow strong,: forceful . . . and again they become free, broad,, and strive to
embrace limitless stretches . . . As for the music of sorrow, it >j is heard
nowhere so vividly as in them, the tones of it live, scorn, te a r the soul.
As Prof. Koshetz (forem ost choral conductor and in terp reter of
Ukrainian song of m odern times) points out, its rhythm s are immensely
varied. Often the rhythm ic structure is irregular, but perfect balance of
phrase and section gives each song unity and clarity. I t is in a capella
singing th a t U kraine has been m ost noted since the 16th century. T hat
compositions of th a t tim e were for from four to tw enty-four voices testifies
to the development of this art. A special balance of the chorus was early
worked out, in which the male voices outnum ber the soprano and alto parts
and in which the basso profundo th a t characteristically U krainian voice
so much deeper th an other bassos is used.
Ukraine's composed music begins historically in the 17th century
with such composers and theorists as N. Diletsky, A. Meenietz, J. Tarnopolsky,
J. Zagvojsky, J. Nis, and others. In spite of foreign domination, Ukraine
continued to derive its musical inspiration from its own national sources,
and the famous composers M. S. Berezovsky (1745-77), D. B ortnyansky
(1751-1825), A. L. Vedel (1768-1806) and P. Turchaninow (1779-1825), though
they worked in Russian, actually carried on th e national U krainian tradition
in th eir compositions. The renaissance of Ukrainian music began with
M. Lysenko (1842-1912), a t first with researches in the nation's folk music,
and later in the conventional branches of music, such as opera, symphony, and
chamber music. In this school are the composers P. Sokalsky (1832-87),
S. Artemovsky (1842-64),2 M. Arkas, A. Koshetz, P. Demutsky, K. Stetsenko
(died 1922), J. Stepovy (died 1921), N. Leontovich (died 1921), P. Senitsya,
M. O. Hayvoronsky, W. Barvinsky, S. Ludkevich, P. Pecheniha-Ouhlitsky,
R. Prydatkevich, B. Kudrick, and m any others.
Other composers, too, have found inspiration in U krainian melody;
Haydn, Hummel, Knorr, Mozart, Beethoven, ( pastoral Symphony and the
Q uartet in F M ajor), Weber, Brahm s, Liszt, Dvorak, Moussorgsky,
Dargomyzhsky, Tschaikowsky (a U k ra in ia n ) all have used melodies from
Ukraine.. Yet Ukraine still waits for h er W agner; but in the m eantim e the
whole world is enriched by her priceless legacy of folk song.3
D an ce.

The reaction of the soil-tiller to th e m anifestations of N ature find


expression in some of th e oldest of U krainian folk dances, am ong them
being the graceful and weaving hayiw ka an effort to stir the sun to
g reater activity. The spirit of the b attle finds expression in the stirring,
clashing Kozak w ar dance hertz, with its squatting step. Life on the
broad highway of the steppe is depicted in the whip-cracking chUmak.
M errymaking has its whirling stamping, irresistibly catching kolomiyka.
Then too, love, courtship, m arriage, as well as all other emotional and
physical experiences _ have a well carved niche in w hat H. B eckett of th e
New York Evening P ost has called the m ost brilliant, the m ost agile, the
m ost finished and the m ost spirited of folk dancing.4

Costume.

There is a g reat variety of traditional patterns in U k ra in e , r but alt'


of them are stam ped with certain basic qualities which differentiate .them
from those of o ther countries. Though decorative in appearance they are
always practical and. consistent with the hum an figure, neither following
th e lines of th e body so closely th a t they obstruct the freedom of the
movement nor contradicting the lines fo r the sake of fashion. While avoiding
everything unhealthy, emphasizing modesty, and striving a fte r economy, they
strive to satisfy esthetic requirem ents. The U krainian girl places a garland
of flowers upon h er head, braiding them into her hair so as to lay em phasis
upon her face. A secondary emphasis is laid upon her. neck, shoulders,
and bosom by embroideries, and this is balanced by the embroidered jacket
and apron."5
Home A rts.
The innate sense of beauty in the U krainian finds expression in various
form s of popular art, as in wood carving, which among the Hutzuls has been
developed to unusually high artistic heights. Here two fundam ental types
are used: a geom etric p attern w ith the crossing of straig h t and broken
lines, and a n atu ra l pattern, which is modelled a fte r p arts of plants. In
th e embroideries, cloths and glass-beadwork, there is found such an esthetic
play of colors, th a t even though each individual color is glaring, th e whole
has a very picturesque and harmonious effect.6 B ut one of the finest products!
of U krainian folk-art is the kilim," (carpet). Some of these kilim s\
w rites Stefan Szuman, the Polish historian of this branch of hm e-industry,
could easily be placed on equal level w ith the first class gobelins and the
noblest Persian carpets."
A rchitecture.
In the plains the U krainian usually builds himself a house made of
clay and covered with Straw, while in the m ountains he builds it of wood,
th e latter, by reason of its form and interior, being an interesting contribu
tion to the trea su re of architecture. According to D. R. Buxton,7 the original
contribution of th e U krainians to world architecture is th eir wooden church,
which in its sim plest form shows th e development from th e U krainian peasant
cottage. Its chief characteristics are its three chambers, a special m ethod
of roofing, and, w hat is especially native, th e arrangem ent of domes, ranging
from the simple type with b u t one dome, to another having its fo u r ex tra
domes set on th e axis of the church, to finally the ra re and complex ninedome church. B uxton also decries th e suppressive influence of R ussia against
th e free architectural development within Ukraine and elsewhere. B ut during
th e period of th e U krainian Kievan State, Kiev had so m any beautiful
churches that, in th e words of Leroy Beaulieu, it was like a small replica
of Byzantium itself, or a Ravenna of th e N orth."
Fine A rts.

th e history of Russian painting, w rites A. Benois.8 R ussia m ay take pride


in Levitsky and Borovikovsky,1 also Ukrainians, who depicted with perfectly
convincing vividness th e courtiers of T sarina Catherine EL A nother U krain
ian was A. Repin, whom Benois calls the biggest a rtist of the
*eightees\ The fa th e r of R ussian perspective painting, according to the
G reat Russian Encyclopaedia, was S. C. Zaryanko, also Ukrainian. U kraine
also produced th e best of th e sea-scape painters of R ussia R. Sudkovsky.
A nother such R ussian artist, one of th e leaders of m odem Russia, is
Vrubel. Gay, though of F rench origin, claimed Ukraine as his m otherland.
Levitan and Kuindzhi were inspired by the Ukrainian sky. Pimonenko and
Vasilkivsky led in genre painting; I. T rush of W estern U kraine in landscape
painting; while Kholodny and O. Novakivsky headed the school of impression
ism. Then there is a host of other Ukrainians who have won recognition
fo r striking talent in the various fields of painting.9
Of the U krainian etchers the leading figure is George N arbut (died
1920) who is known also fo r his g re at services to the development of the
graphic a rts in Russia. An etcher of considerable promise whose career in
th is field was brought to a sudden stop by Russian im prisonment, was the
poet T aras Shevchenko. Among the other noteworthy figures in this field
are Olena Kulchitska, V. Krichevsky, I. Mozelevsfey, L. Lozovsky, M.
fcim arsky, P. Omelchenko, and P. Kovzhun, the last being especially known
fo r his beautiful book covers and bookplates.
,
Although M artos and Litvinenko are well known U krainian sculptors,
th e greatest of them is Alexander Archipenko, who is considered the chief,
representative of the school of modernism. In plastic art* w rote P rof. B.
Temovez of Moscow, Archipenko has had the same influence as Piccaso in
painting. A forem ost sculptor, a painter and an etcher of considerable
ability, Archipenko is also th e creator of various innovations in art, such
as the sculpto-painting, as well as the A rchipentura, which by m eans of
a new pictorial m ethod and mechanism presents concrete emotions which
cannot be rendered by m eans of static painting. A t present he conducts
classes in sculpture, painting, drawing, and wocdcarving in universifves and
a r t institutes on th e Pacific Coast. He is a naturalized American citizen.
Religion.
As Mikola Kostomariw pointed out, the Ukrainian, being a more
spiritual and m ystically inclined character, is stronger in his religious
feelings, and not so liable to religious indifference as the Russian. And
although a great individualist, th e U krainian is social and disciplined in
his religious life, which in E astern U kraine assumes the form of the Orthodox
Church, and in W estern U kraine the Catholic Church of th e Greek rite.
A t all times the U krainians have fought against a state-controlled church,
which made it a tool of autocracy; and fo r th a t reason during periods of
freedom the Ukrainian church was independent of the government. The
Ukrainian church, w rites D. S. Mirsky, likewise assum ed more popular
form and less authoritative form s than in Russia. Hence, on the one side,
a greater intimacy in the U krainian's relations to his parish church, the
absence of a hereditary caste of priests, and a closer contact between th e
clergy and people.

IN AMERICA.1
The outbreak of the W orld W ar in 1914 created a whirlpool of conflict
ing hum an interests on th e E uropean continent th a t a t once sucked in those
gigantic waves of em igration th a t had been inundating America for wellnigh one hundred years. J u s t before it did, however, one of these em igratory
waves cast upon th e Am erican shores close to one million Ukrainians.
Approxim ately 85% of them came from W estern Ukraine, although
th e forerunners of this Wave, appearing in the 60's of th e last century, came
from E astern Ukraine, being th e tail end of th a t famous Gold R ush which
h ad as its objective California. Recent researches, however, have revealed
th a t even before this time, as early as the Colonial Period, there were
already a num ber of U krainians in America, some of whom even fought
in th e Revolutionary W ar. The real U krainian im m igration to America,
nevertheless, did not begin until about 1870, and did not assume any appreciable
proportions until 1899. Beginning w ith th a t year the U krainians began to
arrive in th is country in ever increasing numbers, until the w ar put a stop
upon them .
The earliest of them settled m ostly in Pennsylvania, especially in the
coal and steel districts. Those who followed settled in the industrial centers
of New York and New Jersey. O thers went to the gold and silver mines of
M ontana and Colorado. Still others went to Minnesota, N ebraska, and
oth er farm ing states.^ Today m ost of them occupy the Middle A tlantic and
th e Middle W est sections of the U nited States.
Driven from th eir native land by economic, social and political oppression,
they found upon th eir arrival here th a t th e country was riot th a t land of
plenty the traveling agencies had pictured it to be. F urtherm ore, unlike
th e o th er nationalities who upon coming, here found m any of th eir countrym en
occupying positions of power and influence, the U krainians had no one t
extend to them a helping hand. A rriving here, as they did, a fte r an exhausting
trip of m any days in the steerage and a nerve-racking confinement a t Ellis
Island, it was , indeed, too, a b itte r disappointment to them< to find out th a t
th eir eagerly-dream ed-of new home in the promised land was nothing bu t
a bare little fla t in a smelly and teem ing tenem ent district of a large city,
o r a miserable little company home in the coal or steel district. From
th e break of dawn to late in th e evening th e U krainian im m igrant had to
toil in th e factory, or deep down in th e bowels of the earth, ever in danger
o f serious injury, or even death itself from whirling m achinery or constant
cave-ins.
How different from th e work on the farm he had been
accustomed to!
Despite such hardships, however, the U krainian im m igrant through
sheer persistence gradually forged ahead.
Being of a spiritual and m ystically inclined character, one of his
firs t acts upon establishing his fam ily on this soil was the building of a
place of worship in his locality, of which the first was th e U krainian Greek
Catholic Church of Shenandoah, Pa., founded in 1886. Today, there is hardly
one of the several hundred Ukrainian-Am erican communities which does
not contain a t least one such church.
A rising alm ost concurrently w ith his spiritual needs was the need of
providing some form of protection fo r his family in th e event of his natu ral

or accidental death. As a result, on F ebruary 22, 1894, there was laid in


Shamokin, Pa., the cornerstone of the present-day oldest and largest U krain
ian organization in America the U krainian National Association, the fratern a l
order which besides providing for its present 30,000 members various form s
of insurance protection, has been, a t th e same time, the strongest bulwark
of Ukrainian-American national and cultural life and progress. Yet the
torch of this life and progress has always been the Associations daily, the
Svoboda, which, founded in 1893, immediately pointed out the need of
such an organization. And w hat it has been to the older generation of
Ukrainian-Americans, today its English supplement, the U krainian Weekly,
is becoming to the younger generation. 2
W ith the passage of time, the Ukrainian im m igrant produced other
form s of organized activity, including several smaller fratern al orders with
their tri-weeklies, various other types of nation-wide as well as local societies,
Ukrainian parochial and independent schools, national homes (community
centers), choruses, communal and private business enterprises, building and
loan associations, and all sorts of publications.
W ith this development of his group life and activities, came the
improvement of his individual lot. Through hard work and th rift he began
to slowly rise above his m ean surroundings to a more com fortable state
and often financial independence.
Having been denied by adversity th e advantages of even an elem entary
education, he determined th a t his children should not be lacking in this
respect, and tow ards th a t end he sacrificed a great deal of his hard-earned
money in sending them through higher institutions of learning and in
providing for them many other advantages as well.
As a result of such sacrifices, Ukrainian-Am erican society, which
form erly was composed of the laboring class, with but a fain t sprinkling
of intellectuals, is today assum ing a more n atural and balanced social order,
one including the laboring, the artisan, the business, and lastly the professional
and cultural classes. Gradually the Ukrainian-Americans are beginning to
assume those positions in life which befit an inherently cultured and talented
people such as theirs.
All this while, too, th e Ukrainian-Am erican people have constantly
borne in mind the plight of th eir kinsmen in their native land struggling
to free it of foreign rule and oppression. Conservative estim ates indicate
th a t to E astern Galicia alone, from which the great m ajority of them come,
they have sent there, since th eir advent in America, for the various individual
needs and causes of their kinsmen there, more than $250,000,000.00. Then,
too, a t every possible opportunity they have publicly m anifested here in
America the plight of Ukraine, and a t the same time popularized her name
and culture.
A t all times, however, they have been the best of American citizens;
and the m ost law-abiding, as criminal records show. During the World
W ar over 30,000 men of U krainian descent fought overseas with the
American Expeditionary Forces. Furtherm ore, although during the W ar the
Ukrainians as a class were as yet quite poor, yet they were am ong the
heaviest buyers of the Liberty Bonds among the foreign nationality groups. 3
Since then they have steadily advanced in American citizeship, and today

growing num ber of th eir children can be found occupying various responsible
political and oth er public offices.
A lthough the Ukrainian-Am ericans have done th eir share in the
building of America by th eir labors in the mines, factories, railroads; and
farm s especially noticeable, however, has been th eir contribution to the
expanding American culture, a culture which is more th an anything else
a combination of European traditions and American environment. In the
early 1920,s fo r example, Prof. Alexander Koshetz, regarded by m any
as the forem ost chorus conductor in th e world today, visited America with
his touring and world-famous U krainian National Chorus, and m any American
critics declared it to be th e finest ever heard in America.4 W ithin the last
few years he has repeated his trium phs with the United U krainian Folk
Choruses of th e M etropolitan A rea (composed mainly of young UkrainianAmericans, bom and raised here) whose concerts in Town Hall and
Carnegie Hall, leading music centers of New York City, have also won high
praise.6 U krainian folk dancing, too, has been presented before m any
American audiences by Ukrainian-Am erican youth, delighting th e spectators
w ith its graceful weaving, colorful, and meaningful movements. The fam ed
B roadway in New York City has also witnessed presentations in U krainian
of Tschaikowskys opera Mazeppa. A t the Chicago W orld's Fair, the
U krainians were the only nationality not having an independent state of
its own th a t were given the special privilege of exhibiting there, and th eir
pavilion, by reason of its native beauty and originality, was one of the
finest sights there, and together w ith its exhibits of Ukrainian folk a r t
excited a g reat deal of American approbatory comment, both oral and
printed. On exhibition there, also, were a num ber of works of a r t of th a t
world renowned U krainian in terp reter of modernism in sculpture and painting,
A lexander Archipenko.
W herever possible, the Ukrainian-Am ericans have sought to adapt
some of the finer and m ore colorful of th eir old world (habits and customs
to th eir American environment. Especially do they strive to reproduce
th eir beloved ceremonial of Christm as Eve in Ukraine. On th a t eve they
g ath er around th e table fo r the Holy Supper, consisting of th e various
specially-prepared courses th a t ancient U krainian customs prescribe and th eir
pocketbooks allow. They sing th e equally ancient and the heart-w arm ing
kolyadi. Faces glow with happiness and cheer. And as they sit there,
gazing into th e flickering candlelight, th eir memories involuntarily go back
through the darkness of Time to a sim ilar scene, many, m any years ago,
in fa r different surroundings in Ukraine. They recall how outside th eir
sturdy peasant hut, the moon shone, while the sta rs twinkled m errily in the
blue dome of th e sky; a soft, breathless stillness pervaded village and field,
broken only by the distant singing of the approaching carolers, wending th eir
way from home to , home and announcing th eir arrival underneath the
window w ith th e joyous tinkling of a bell. W hat a glorious night th a t w a s!
No wonder then, th a t sometimes they long so intensely fo r Ukraine.
4
The praise that preceded the chorus from all the musical centers of Europe
seemed excessive until one heard it, until one saw Alexander Koshetz with his extra
ordinarily living hands mold the sounds as a sculptor molds pliant clay. Here was
that noblest and austerest and most stringently moral thing in the World perfection.
T h e chorus is a hyman organ, an instrum ent of incomparable precision and incom
parable expressiveness. It can rustle like leaves in the forest; it can be as lyrical
as a lark at dawn; it can be sonorous as thunder over m ountains.- Nation,

th e thought th a t their power and beauty will ultim ately find th eir way
into the stream of our culture, I did not realize until a few days ago . . ."
Their Youth.
It is exactly in this direction th a t the more progressive elements of
the Ukrainian-American youth are striving today; to preserve and develop
here on the American soil some of the finer aspects of th eir U krainian
heritage, and thereby (1) m ake a genuine contribution to American culture,
and (2) aid the U krainian cause, whose ultim ate goal is the establishm ent
of a free and independent sta te of Ukraine. As a prelim inary step tow ards
this end, they are endeavoring to obtain a b etter knowledge of th eir U krainian
background, especially since they realize th a t they are b u t the firs t foliage
of a branch th a t has been broken off the tree of U krainian life in the
old country and transplanted here in America, and as such they have all
the capabilities, talents and failings of the Ukrainian race, and only through
a study of their background can they actually know them selves and find
their proper niche in Am erican society.
'
Along these general lines the pattern of Ukrainian-Am erican youth
organization life and activities has been laid thus far. The annual congresses,
of Ukrainian-American youth representatives from all p arts of th e country
(a t their own expense), have been tru ly a credit to the Ukrainian-Am erican
youth movement. They have strengthened the bonds of m utual interests
among the young people and a t th e same time helped to focus th eir attention
upon the many problems besetting th eir development.
In conclusion, a revealing sidelight on the ideals of the UkrainianAmerican youth, in form of the close of an address delivered by a young
Ukrainian-American before a m eeting of the Conference on Im m igration Policy,
held a t the Town Hall, New York City, in the early p a rt of 1935, is as
follows:
. . . We know we cannot have rights and privileges here in America
without duties and responsibilities. We know th a t America gives us protection,
education and opportunities, and th a t we owe in return our love, obedience,
service, and loyalty. We know, too, th a t our principal task here in Am erica
is not the m aking of money b u t th e building of America. And yet, we
cannot forget th a t we are Am ericans of Ukrainian descent. We cannot
forget how for centuries our U krainian forefathers fought and sacrificed
th eir lives and fortunes in the cause of an ideal dear to all nations Freedom.
From our minds the inspiring thought th a t there was once a U krainian
state, self-chartered and self-ruled, can never be effaced, and th e burning
hope th a t th ere again will be one can never be extinguished. Knowing all
this, and remembering th a t one of th e greatest Americans, Woodrow Wilson,
himself declared th a t each nation is entitled to self-rule and self-determ ination,
we, the American youth of U krainian descent, shall strive to m ake ourselves
w orthy and useful citizens of our Am erica and a t the same tim e also strive
to do our b it tow ards th e realization of th a t centuries-old dream the
creation of a free and independent sta te of U kraine."6

UKRAINIAN CULTURE CHANGE


(The N atural Process and R ational Techniques in Culture Change among
U krainians in America)
By STEPH EN W. MAMCHUR, M. A.
I. DEFINITION OF RACE AND CULTURE.
1. The term U k rain ian
The discussion of alm ost anv aspect of the situation of U krainians ir
A m ericaif it is to contain genuine knowledge ra th e r th an an assemblage
of emotional phraseology, mere hopes or platitudes demands a t least an
elementally concise definition of w hat is behind the term U krainian. Words
and th eir combinations (the sum to tal language) are largely b u t convenient
tools which mankind has evolved to represent its conception of th e sense world;
any specific word recalls to our mind a whole train of associations; th u s we
m entally reconstruct fo r ourselves the object in the sense world fo r which the
term stands. W hat particularistic m eaning the word U krainian has to any
specific individual depends on his experience. B ut there is a common denomi
nator, as it were, of these subjective conceptions, and th a t common denomi
n ato r is th a t the term stands fo r a certain group of people to use laym an
terminology. Ju s t w hat is it, then, th a t fundam entally distinguishes U krain
ians from non-Ukrainians?
2. The m yth of racial superiority.
One does not have to be an erudite student to recall m eeting, or per
haps even harboring himself, certain vague notions to the effect th a t some
races or nationalities are inferior, others superior. Behind this idea
usually lurks the conception th a t these so-called races or nationalities are
differently biologically endowed in respect to th eir intelligence or m ental
ability, or, in any case, in respect to th a t quality w hatever it be which
is assumed to account for the p atent differences in achievement which are
evident between peoples. Since this conception refers to th e biological con
stitution of peoples let us tackle the term race first to see w hether there
is any objective validity in the notion of superior or inferior races, or
applying it to the Ukrainians, w hether they are racially inferior or su
perior.
Race, biologically, is a variety of the hum an species. P ure varieties
can develop only in isolation. W hatever such varieties m ay have existed in
the dim and d istant p a s t (if there have been several varieties of th e hum an
sp ecies) the fact of science is th a t m an has known little isolation; he has
wandered, mixed. Hence there are no races in the sense of pure biological
varieties. B ut the anthropologist, being a scientist has the itch to classify.
He sees th a t men, though mixed, vary. So he rescues the term race* and

digitized by SVOBODA

uses it as a pigeonhole for classification. He m akes it stand for a type, to


which he assigns a selected list of physical characteristics. Such a type m ay
correspond to a once distinct b u t now subm erged hum an variety. Or it m ay
not. To a useful classificatory device it m akes little difference. A type, m ore
over, has little actual reality. Probably not one per cent of any population
conforms to a single racial type in all characteristics. S trictly speaking,
therefore, ninety-nine men out of a hundred belong to no race, in either th e
biological or the anthropological sense. And there is no other sense. (Bul
letin of the Associates in the Science of Society a t Yale University, Vol. 4,
No. 4, May 1935, pp. 1-2.)
In the anthropological sense of race defined above, one classification,
using color or skin pigm entation, as th e chief basis of distinction, groups m an
kind into the well-known category of black, yellow and white races. On
th e basis of other anatom ical ch a rac te ristic s e. g. eye color, hair, tex tu re
of hair, stature, breadth of head, etc., etc. -r- various other classifications,
types or subtypes could be worked out. B ut w hatever the basis of rjacial
classification no scientific evidence has been th u s fa r adduced to lend any
support w hatever to the view th a t these races , differ in inborn m ental
ability or intelligence. W hatever differences have been found as, fo r example,
in intelligence tests, can all be explained on the basis of cultural back
ground, not innate biological capacity.* Hence there are no inferior or
superior ra c e s (if we insist on using the t e r m ) on the basis of m ental
ability. Hence, also, U krainians in w hatever racial type or sub-type they
fall are neither inferior nor superior, in this same sense, to any other
race or sub-race.
W hen people use the term superior or inferior they are always
having some standard or norm in mind according to which they m easure
others. No such standard exists in innate m ental characteristics; w hatever
o th er standards are assum ed implicitly or explicitly are evaluative, and th ere
m ay be no p articular objection to such evaluation provided the norm s of
value used are definitely and explicitly stated which, except in scientific
circles, is seldom done.
3. C ultural differences between groups.
We have indicated th a t th e difference between U krainians and nonU krainians is not to be sought in m ental inferiority or superiority, or,
incidentally, in any anatom ical characteristics influencing culture significantly.
Wherein, then, does the difference lie? The answ er is in culture, in th a t
which is acquired, not biologically inherited.
To the m uch-abused m an on the stre e t the term culture usually
connotes, if anything, refinement of education or ju s t those qualities which
raise one above the common herd. The usage of this word in this sense
has an interesting etymological history. Scientifically, it has a very different
m eaning; it stands for the habitual ways of living of a group.
* The most conci e and clearest statem ent of scientific conclusions on the subject
of is to be found in: Boas, F.: The Problem of Race, in Calverton, U. F. (e d .):
The Making of Man (The Modern Library, Inc., New York, 1 9 3 1 ), pp. 113 141.
For a comprehensive treatment of the subject consult: Boas, F.: The Mind of Primitive
Man; Sarth, T. R.: Race Psychology; Hankins, F. H.: The Racial Basis of Civilization;

L et us lend precision to the term . An individual faces a novel situation;


novel, in th a t h e has previously had no experience with it. He proceeds to
solve it by trial-ad-error. W hichever of his attem pts are followed by pleasure
ra th e r th an pain will tend to be repeated. Innum erable repetitions will pro*
duce a habit in him, a fairly settled mode, largely unconscious a fte r a time,
of dealing with, or acting in, th a t particular situation. O thers m ay evolve
the same habit, or m ay borrow it from him by im itation o r suggestion and
th e like. As soon as this individual habit has become a . group habit, it is
popularly known as custom, scentifically as a culture trait, a culture p attern of
behavior. The sum of all such group habits is the group culture. Some
sociologists prefer to distinguish between those aspects of culture which possess
an especial value fo r th e group, and those which are not as highly valued.
The form er, for example, Thou shalt not kill (usually referring only to the
in-group because, as we see in war, m urder is justified ) they would call a
mos (plural m ores ) ; th e latter, for example, lifting ones h a t before a
lady, a folkway. A nother general classification of th e various item s of
culture distinguishes between so-called m aterial culture and im m aterial
culture, th e form er being, fo r example, th e tools and artifa cts of th e group,
the la tte r the ab stracted ways of behavior. B ut w hatever devices th e scientist
evolves to enable him to b etter analyze his subject of study, th e term culture
stands fo r the different ways of living o f , a group to p u t it very simply.
The culture of every group bears a general resemblance to th e culture
of every other group; there is, w hat is called a universal p a tte rn of culture.
Everyw here we find practices in connection w ith food-getting activities, from
th e simplest collection of food, hunting or fishing, to the highly complex in
d ustrial organization of the present day. Everyw here and am ong all peoples
th ere is some way of protecting, or mode of aggrandizem ent of, food; there
is, in other words, some form of government and' usually a m ilitary organizaP
tiori. Again, universally, th e sexes cooperate in some form of m arriage and the'
family. Everywhere, also, people have religion, some mode of adjustm ent to
the unknown, the chance or the luck element in life. These examples typify
the universal p attern of culture. A complete cultural study of any group'
would include a study of such items as the following: the geographic environ
m ent; racial characteristics; history; language and w riting; th e food-quest;
m aterial culture such as dwellings, architecture, furniture and utensils, tools
and weapons, the textile arts, clothing, ornam ent and m utilation, th e extrac
tive arts, vehicles and transportation; economic organization; property; social
organization; political organization; w ar; social routine; the a rts of pleasure;
science; the individual life cycle childhood, m arriage, adulthood, th e cult of
the dead; religion, etc. All the group p attern s of behavior in connection with
these items are subsumed under the term culture. Essentially, m ankind every
where has to adjust to th e same fundam ental societal forces; b u t different
groups adju st to these in different ways, and these ways are determ ined by the
cultural history of th e people, they are to be explained on th e basis of the
historical experience of th e group. Hence, Ukrainians, for example, are dif
ferent from non-U krainians, in th a t they possess a distinct culture. This cul
tu re is neither inferior nor superior to th e culture of any other group; it
is simply different, and it is different because it has had a peculiar history.
Objectively, cultures m ay be graded as simple or complex, b u t beyond th a t
there is no general objective descriptive way f evaluating them . People m ay
say th a t one culture is higher, another lower ; when th ey m ake such a
statem ent th ey have in mind some norm or standard of valuation, and this
standard usually has no counterpart in reality. F o r example, it is a universal

Church, 163 Arlington St., Boston, Mass.

Dear Sir: I am glad to advise you, in reply to your recent letter, that all
persons who return their mother tongue as Ukrainian at the 1930 census will be shown
as Ukrainian in the report of that census.
It was at first thought that it would not be possible to include the mother
tongue inquiry at the coming census because of the great difficulty in finding space
on the population schedule; but we have finally worked out a solution that will enable
us to include the mother tongue question, so that the Ukrainians so far as reported
will be separately shown.
Very truly yours, W. M. STEUART, Director.

The delegation sought the Governors aid in urging the United States and Mass. to
assist in relieving oppression in the Ukraine.
