In observing this third anniversary of the Chornobyl catastrophe, we will inform our fellow citizens about the two-faced and viperous policies of Moscow which uses falsifications and sweet promises of democratization in the USSR to fool the Western world and to lull its senses and readiness for defense. The catastrophe in Chornobyl is a tragedy for Ukraine and Byelorussia with far-reaching consequences in the entire world. Let us observe this anniversary by demanding a halt to the construction of nuclear power stations in Ukraine which present a danger to the people's health and to the environment in general. It is precisely for this that a battle today is being waged in Ukraine. Let us support our brothers and sisters in their struggle through protest actions on the third anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear catastrophe.

At the same time, each icon can be viewed as an independent, self-contained work, that conveys the style of its period, the distinctive manner of the school from which it emerged, and the individual expression of its author. Although not a single Ukrainian iconostasis from the 15th century and the first half of the 16th century has survived intact, preserved fragments allow us to reconstruct its compos- tional scheme. Icons were placed in the iconostasis in a set order: a bottom tier of icons of a local or occasional cha­ racter [namisnyi riadj, surmounted by a row of representations of the apostles, followed by a storey of prophets and evangelists. A painting of the Crucifi­ xion crowned the whole. According to I. Svientsitsky: "the largest tier in the iconostasis of this period was the bottom row of local' icons. It included icons of the Virgin шіжттщшл^'' and of the Savior, the icon of the saint or feast after which the church was named, and an icon of St. Nicholas.

centuries/' During this latter period, iconostases began to include a Passion series and a holy feasts range.

Artistic style is often formed on a concrete historical basis. Of special significance in the history of Ukrainian art is the period spanning the end of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century. The art of this time, as is true of Ukrainian culture as a whole, reflects a clash between the new and the old, between innovation and adherence to principles dictated by tradition. The war with Poland in the 17th century resurrected the idea of national freedom, and this idea permeated all spheres of Ukrainian political and spiritual life. In art, too, here occurred a significant shift over a relatively brief period of time. Where previously only individual Renaissance elements had been incorporated into Ukrainian artis­ tic culture, the spread of education and book printing and the newly born sense of national consciousness led to the adoption of the Renaissance world view as a whole. The epoch brought to the fore such major figures in Ukrainian history as Ivan Vyshensky, Ivan Fedo- rovych (Fedorov), Severyn Nalyvaiko, Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachny, The Archangel Michael (detail), from the deacon's door of the iconostasis of the Petro Mohyla and others.

It is difficult to recreate a detailed panorama of the evolution of late 16th and 17th century Ukrainian painting because the various regions of Ukraine are not equally represented by surviving works. Numerous wars fought on its territory left Ukraine divided among its neighbors. Thus Galicia, western Vol- hynia and Podillia were under the domi- nion of Poland, northeastern and Sloboda Ukraine belonged to Russia, Transcarpathia to Hungary, Bukovina to Moldavia, and the Black Sea and Azov Sea regions to Turkey and the Crimean Khanate. Almost the entire artistic heritage of central and eastern Ukraine has been lost, and few works from this period remain in Volhynia. only the icons of western Galicia have survived in signifi­ cant numbers.
