place of work but are assigned to jobs that will support the communist system’s needs. The Febru ary 20, 1958, issue of Pravda, for example, reported that young Ukrainians had “enthusiastically” de parted to report to the following jobs: 800,000 to work in the virgin lands of Siberia and Kazakhstan; 83.000 to work on cattle farms (1956-1957); 110.000 to work in the coal mines of Donbas; 50.000 to build blast furnaces is Stalino and Dnipropetrovsk. Indoctrination. The worst evil of the Soviet education system is the perpetual propaganda aimed at supporting bolshevism and denigrating the free world. From childhood, young people are taught that workers in the free world live in deplorable conditions and that those in the free world are planning to destroy the USSR. There is, above all, a perversion of what is moral and ethical with respect to the family. One of the heroes of the USSR during the years of the Great Famine was Pavlo Morozov, a student who denounced his parents for hiding a small cache of food. The parents were liquidated; the son was rewarded and became a Soviet icon. Pavlo’s story was published in schoolbooks to educate children about heroism. Clearly, much has changed since this article was published in Our Life. Even before Ukraine became an independent nation, living conditions had improved for many people in the USSR. Education certainly improved, particularly with respect to the sciences. More recent, changes include a strong emphasis on child care and a positive attention to other pressing social issues. While most people who have visited Ukraine in recent years have noted dramatic improvements in shopping and dining out, problems with the aging infrastructure of cities and the economic difficulties experienced by ordinary working-class families persist. But as Ukraine works to redefine itself, other changes affecting lifestyle and life philosophy continue to evolve. The “heroes ” of the past have become the demons of a tragic history; the heroes of the present are making a concerted effort to right the manifold wrongs perpetrated against Ukrainian men, women, and children under communism. Keys to Safety Crime is an unfortunate fact of life, and criminal attacks against people in their own homes or apartments are on the rise. While expensive alarm systems can deter criminals, a neighborhood watch coordinator recommends a less costly and very effective alternative or back-up safety solution: your car keys. Most car models now come with a built-in security alarm system, activated by a feature built into your car key or key chain. If you park the car in your driveway or garage, the alarm can be activated from almost anywhere inside your house and will keep honking or signaling until your battery runs down or until you reset it. If your car alarm goes off in the middle of the night, your neighbors will soon be looking out their windows to see what all the commotion about. Odds are that the burglar or rapist trying to break into your house won't stick around. The same principal holds true if you are walking to your car in a parking lot. Carry your keys in your hand. If anyone approaches you and you feel threatened, setting off the car alarm is an excellent way to frighten them away. The car alarm can save your life or be a call for help in other ways as well. It can alert neighbors in case of a medical emer gency, such as a heart attack, when you are unable to reach a telephone. If you fall and hurt yourself outside the house, it can alert someone in the house to come to your assistance. So carry your car key with you and keep them beside your bed at night. Pressing the panic button works. It can save your life. —Contributed by Orysia Nazar Zinycz
