  • Ukraine: at Last, a New Constitution
    No. 52 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1996 3 1996: THE YEAR IN REVIEW Ukraine: at last, a new Constitution lthough Ukraine was preparing to observe its fifth anniversary as an independent state in 1996, it seemed it would mark that milestone while retain- ing its Soviet-era constitution. And, though Ukraine was Athe last of the former Soviet republics to ratify a new Constitution, its Verkhovna Rada did so in dramatic style as the culmination of an all-night intense session that went on for more than 16 hours without a break. The big event occurred in the morning hours of June 28. The mood was euphoric and the atmosphere remi- niscent of the day when Parliament had declared Ukraine’s independence on August 24, 1991. The historic new Constitution established Ukraine as an independent, democratic, social, law-governed and unitary state with single citizenship. It enshrined Ukrainian as the official language, while guaranteeing the “free development” of the Russian language and other languages spoken by the citizens of Ukraine. The new Constitution of Ukraine guarantees basic democratic freedoms and rights, establishes a Western- style judicial system, guarantees the right to private prop- erty and the right to own land, and clearly divides power between the executive and legislative branches of power.

    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, 2015 5 2014: THE YEAR IN REVIEW From Euro-Maidan to Revolution of Dignity uring 2014, what started out as the Euro-Maidan was transformed into the Revolution of Dignity. By Dyear’s end, Ukraine had a new president, a new Verkhovna Rada and a new government. And, at the end of the year, the Rada voted to abandon the country’s previ- ous “non-bloc” status and set a course for NATO member- ship. A civilizational choice had been made. As the year began, there was concern about the regular presidential election that was to be held in March 2015 as the opposition – that is the pro-Western parties of Ukraine – appeared to have no unified election strategy other than being against Viktor Yanukovych. Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (UDAR) Chair Vitali Klitschko was call- ing on his rivals to ditch their campaigns and unite behind his single candidacy. The expected Batkivshchyna candi- date, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and Svoboda party candidate Oleh Tiahnybok said they would compete independently in the first round of the presidential election. Billionaire confectionary magnate Petro Poroshenko also was plan- ning to throw his hat into the ring. The concern among observers was that so many candidates could cannibalize the pro-Western vote or spread it too thinly, letting anoth- Vladimir Gontar/UNIAN er victory slip through their fingers.

  • Archeparchy of Winnipeg (1988)
    Archeparchy of Winnipeg (1988) The Archeparchy of Winnipeg, under the leadership of Metropolitan Maxim Hermaniuk and Auxiliary Bishop Myron Daciuk, in 1988 marking the Millennium of Christianity in Ukraine, had 34 secular priests (excluding 5 in retirement), 15 deacons, a priests of the Basilian and Redemptorist orders. Approximately 49 000 faithful are united in the Archeparchy. In the Greater Winnipeg area there are 16 parish churches who’s priests also serve the neighbouring parish communities of Cooks Creek, Gonor, and Cloverleaf. There are also parishes in Dauphin, The Pas, Flin Flon, and Thompson with missions in the northern regions. Parish communities are united in 15 church districts in which there are 142 fully or partially functioning churches. Presently, there are 158 churches in the Archeparchy which are recorded individually in this book. The Ukrainian Catholic community in Manitoba can take pride in many achievements in addition to those pertaining to the religious-church life of the Archeparchy. There has been a Ukrainian publishing house in existence in Winnipeg as early as 1914. Through the efforts of Metropolitan Maxim, it was expanded in 1958 to include suitable premises for the newly organized Archeparchy publishing house, Progress, which began to publish a weekly paper, the “Progress” in 1959, and for the Ukrainian Catholic Council of the Archeparchy along with its archives. Between 1950 and 1975 a monthly magazine for children called “My Friend” was edited by Rev. Semen Izyk and published by the Council. With the assistance of various religious and lay committees this Council continues to air a weekly, half hour radio broadcast.
