O UR LIFE Monthly, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League of America VOL. L NOVEMBER 1993 Editor: Halyna N. Kuzyszyn IN BRIEF: (A summary of articles featured in the Ukrainian section). Professor Laryssa Onyshkevych contributes an article entitled ’’Modern Difficulties with Ukrainian Literature,” (in Ukraine and in the diaspora). The subject of culture is analyzed within four categories: (a) creation and culture — from universities and schools, professional and youth organizations: (b) passing along culture through communication channels such as books, periodicals, radio, TV; (c) the preserving of culture — via museums, libraries, churches; (d) strengthening the development of culture — through support, exchange of ideas. An article on Ivan Honchar, Ukrainian folk art historian, will appear in the December English section. Stefania Petrovska writes a memoir about Olha Duchaminska (1883-1988) — a survivor of Siberian prison camps and a writer. Her imprisonment was a set up, and because of it she suffered mental scars. She loved peace and serenity, and finally received it upon her release in 1958. She became very active in the cultural life of Ukraine, and in many cities and towns she often gave literary readings. Even writing did not allow her a true escape from problems, since family crises affected her health. Olha Duchaminska was truly a kind-hearted and talented women, who endured a great many hardships throughout her life. A profile on Ulana Chajkivska, a Ukrainian soprano residing in France, and an organizer of the “Marusia” Chornobyl aid group, introduces you to her life and how she organizes concerts and events for musicians and artists from Ukraine. In the article entitled “In Slobozhanschyna during springtime,” author Atila Mohylnyj reminisces about his time with the New York Yara Arts Group, performing ’’Blind Sight” in Ukraine. The play, directed by Virlana Tkacz, was a great phenomenon for audiences in Ukraine, in that it told the story of Vasyl Yeroshenko —a blind Ukrainian poet (1890-1952) who traveled to Tokyo in 1914. He wrote in Japanese and became quite an eminent author there. Mohylnyj also describes the relationship between Yara and the actors from Ukraine, with whom they collaborated on ’’Blind Sight”.
