B 20004 F GW ISSN 0001 - 0545 BULLETIN OF THE ANTIBOLSHEVIK BLOC OF NATIONS ON THE DEATH OF OLENA ANTONIV The news cut through the heart with a knife. They have killed Olena Antoniv, Mrs. Olena, Olenka. She was neither a poet, nor an artist, nor a composer. She did not write poetry. She did not compose music. She herself was music, a living melody of kindness and friendship in a savage empire of evil and cruelty. Because of this, the stupid, the cruel, the evil and the savage hated her. And they have killed her. Family, friends, the city of Lviv, the adornment of which was Olena Antoniv, have been left orphans. Together with all those persecuted for honesty in and outside Ukraine w'e are in deep sorrow, bidding farewell today... to yet another broken melody. Olena Antoniv and son Taras Svyatoslav Karavansky and Nina Strokata Munich, February 7, 1985 USSR News Brief issued the following: On February 4, in the Ukrainian city of Lviv, Olena Antoniv was killed in a car accident. Mrs. Antoniv, who was the wife of former political prisoner and poet Zinoviy Krasivsky, was very active in the framework of the Fund to Aid Political Prisoners and for this was strongly attacked in the Soviet mass media. On February 6, in Lithuania, the priest of the Cathedral of Rudamina Jozas Zdebskis was also killed in a car accident. J. Zdebskis, aged 57 was ordained a priest in 1952. In 1978 he became one of the founders of the unofficial Catholic Committee to Defend the Rights of Believers.
