Ukraine and the Ukrainians
"At the beginning of the World War the Ukrainian territory was divided between two empires...Austria-Hungary...the larger part was ruled by Russia." -Emil Revyuk, U.S. Congressional Serial Set, 1919
"Emil Revyuk, 84, the editor of the Svoda, the Ukrainian language daily, and former president of the United Ukrainian Organization of the United States, died Monday." -NY Times, Feb. 23, 1972
"Emil Revyuk, author, lecturer and editor of the Svoboda...will speak on the Ukrainian Nationalist Movement...was born in Western Ukraine." -Hartford Courant, April 15, 1926
"Emil Revyuk of Jersey City, author, editor and lecturer, describing conditions in Ukrainia, told of floggings...and hung by their wrists to posts." -Kingsport Times, Nov. 16, 1930
What is the true history of Ukraine? Is Putin correct in stating that Ukraine has always been Russian and was created by the Soviet Union, or does Ukraine and its people have a strong national identity and history of independence and heroic struggles to maintain independence?
In 1920, Emil Revyuk (1887-1972) answers this question and more in his short 28-page publication titled "Ukraine and Ukrainians."
In describing the unfortunate geopolitical location of Ukraine, Revyuk writes:
"Ukraine lay on the threshold of Europe, through which the migratory tribes of Asia now began to sweep, and was therefore obliged to bear the brunt of continuous invasions. Straining her resistance to the utmost, she contended successfully with Magyars, Khazars, Pechenihi and Polovtses."
Directly refuting Putin's claim that Ukraine was created by the Soviet Union, Revyuk writes of Ukrainian independence prior to the creation of the Soviet Union:
"On January 7, 1918, the independence of the Ukrainian People's Republic. From the start, the new republic found itself in a critical position. Threatened by Bolshevist armies in the north and east and by Teutonic forces in the west, it was at the same time cut off from all outside help...."
Regarding the historical mindset of Ukrainians, Revyuk writes:
"Since the downfall of the ancient Ukrainian empire of Kiev, down through the struggles against the Tartars, Poles and Russians, Ukrainian history displays a continual tradition of heroic endeavors to re-establish the political independence of the country. This remains the ideal of the Ukrainian people at the present time."
