THE WOMAN'S ASPECT IN USSR An American journalist, Julia Whiteney, gives an account in the periodical LOOK of her impres sions in USSR, discussing primar ily the aspect of 'the woman. In her opinion the woman in USSR has attained a lot, for she is occupy і nig responsible posts, has dominated whole spheres of life, like schools, medical aid, and is performing -even the work with which the women in the West are not being entrusted, such as road building and driving tractors. However, she did not cease to be a ‘woman” and thus to rejoice at the way of life of women in other c ountries. She does not care for her outer appearance, neither can she embellish her home or im prove her household. It might happen that one may meet in the street an elegant woman, yet she doubtlessly would be either an ar tist or a wife of a foreign diplo mat. OUR LIFE has devoted to this problem a special article. Maria Logush, its author, is calling at tention of the readers’ realm to the question, what is the reason for this state of affairs. Since in the olden times the Ukrainian wo man had been known for her beauty, for her esthetic sense which she had been manifesting in marvelous embroideries and textures. The present aspect of the woman in U-SSR must be as cribed to the system which has brought it about. The bolsheviki have been from the very begin ning striving to inculcate a disre gard for tasteful appearance, by calling it a bourgeois invention. Hence everyone has been trying bringing the children is the Church to which she readily sub mits her thoughts and aspira tions. In the changed circum stances’ she even more relies on the principles set forth by Christ and His disciples. From His teach ings she is drawing the objectives for her children and she does hope to win the contention for the soul of her child which is be ing waged now by mothers throughout the world. L. B. to adjust oneself to general level, so as not to suggest mistrust. Moreover, the economic problems of USSR took such turn that it was impossible to consider the ex ternal appearance. The wages of a skilled worker will scarcely suf fice for the bare necessities, and then what about the possibilities of an unskilled wrorker! Besides, in her household the woman in US,SR has no facilities, and her dwelling conditions are frightful. When one is tormented by con stant hunger and material wants, how can one rejoice at the trifles of outer appearance or furnish ings in one’s flat? A YOUNG U KRAIN IAN ACTRESS We are introducing in a special interview in this issue of OUR LIFE, Mrs. Lydia Krushelnitsky. She is with the ensemble of the Ukrainian Theatre in America directed by Mr. Joseph Him yak. She has recently visited the Uk rainian centers in the United States, appearing in several plays, including “The Tartufe” by Mo- liere. Mrs. Krushelnitsky was very successful in her role as El mira. A QUESTIONARY OF O. L. OUR LIFE is continuing its questionnaire on occasion of 70th anniversary of Ukrainian femin ist movement, among our women who have availed themselves of the achievements of feminist movement. In this issue we have the answer by Mrs. Olena Trofi- movska, one of the first women jurists in Ukraine. She relates how she had over come the difficulties she encoun tered before World War I in or der to study and graduate from the lawr school as well as to be come an attorney. Later on, during the bolshevik regime it had still been hard for women to gain better positions. The women had to be trained pro fessionally not only, they had likewise to excel as diligent and attentive workers and to devote more time in fulfilling of their duties.
