THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1976 No. 165 Ukrainians Tell World Of Soviet Captivity

Individually they looked like average people wearing fraternity sweaters, but collectively they dealt a blow to the Soviet Union by cryptically telling the world that Ukraine is a captive nation. As was reported earlier, during a soccer match in the course of the 21st Olympic Games in Montreal, pairs or small groups of Ukrainians walked into the stadium with each person wearing one letter of the Ukrainian alphabet on a sweater. When they got up together to greet the Soviet soccer squad, "Freedom for Ukraine" was the message they conveyed to the players and TV cameras. Among the many methods used by Ukrainian youths to disseminate the truth about Ukraine during the Olympic Games, was a satirical skit, called "Moscow Prelude," which was staged at the Olympic Press Center. Above two of the players, Yarko Belendiuk dressed as KGB agent and Bohdanna Rozdolsky wearing a clown's costume and carrying a TASS placard, are closely watched by a Montreal policeman. In the other photo the youths are dressed in blue and yellow gym shorts and T-shirts, symbolizing the captive nations in the USSR. They are all chained together. A "bear," representing world opinion and the International Olympic Committee, also made an appearance during the mock sketch.

U.S. Is Attraction For Ukrainian Students From Europe

The United States has always been a major tourist attraction for all students, both Ukrainian ^d non-Ukrainian, but this summer, especially, the North American continent was visited by many Ukrainian students from Europe. Among them was Adrian Jenkaia from London, England, who came here for the Olympics in Montreal, a world council of the Plast unit "Lisovi Chorty" (Forest Devils), at Lake Piscatosin in Quebec, л Plast camp in Hunter, N.Y., and the fourth Congress of Ukrainian Students in the Free World. Adrian, who is also an active member of the Ukrainian Student Hromada of Great Britain, will be studying economics this fall in the British capital. Accompanying him on a visit to the UNA headquarters and Svoboda editorial offices in Jersey City, was his friend. Victor Lapychak, whose aunt, Mrs. Luba Lapychak, is administrator of the Daily. Before Adrian leaves for home he plans to see the sights in the northeastern portion of the I nited States and Canada.

HUMAN RIGHTS RESEARCH, INC. MOROZ DEFENSE COMMITTEE

AN ACTIVITY REPORT

by BOHDAN MASLANKA On February 2nd of this year, the Committee for the Defense of Valentyr Moroz in Washington, D.C. became incorporated under the name of Human Rights Research, Inc. The name was chosen primarily to show the increase in scope of previous defense work and to make that work more effective within the non-Ukrainian public. A firm base had to be created which would remain permanent whi le generat­ ing various special campaigns, simultaneously or individually. The focus of the organization had to be enlarged so that the larger issue of human rights violations in the Ukrainian SSR could be presented in a universal perspective with the hope that the Ukrainian problem would be vie,wed as not a purely isolated local issue. According to its oharter, Human Rights Research has as its objectives: L to Ri J. Laber, Rep. Koch, Rep. Fenwick, A. Michni?^ Photo-R.

The American Historical Association (AHA), the largest U.S. historical Plyushch Testifies in Congress organization, is reviewing the case of Valentyn Moroz. At its last congress the AHA added an amendment to its charter which calls upon the AHA to adopt the cases of, and provide relief to repressed historians throughout the world.

The State Department, through the United States Embassy in Moscow, has raised the case of Valentyn Moroz with Soviet authorities on several oc­ casions in recent months. In its approach to the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs in May, the Embassy also expressed the concern of the United States government for Vyacheslav Chornovil, Rev, Vasyl Romanyuk, Mustafa Dzhemilev and Ounnars Rode,

The Psychiatric News in its may ?th issue carried a lengthy article about Leonid Plyushch's seminar for psychiatrists and scientists at the National Institutes of Health during his visit to Washington, The Psychiatric News is the main journal of the American Psyohiatric Association and is read by 25,000 psychiatrists in the United States and Canada. The article, titled ^Freed Soviet Dissenter Tells of Psychiatric Abuse" presented in detail the psychiatric incarceration of dissidents in the Soviet Union using the case of Ukrainian physician Dr. Mykola Plakhotniuk as a prime example.

After Valentyn Moroz was ruled sane by Serbsky Institute psychiatrists, a UPI dispatch which appeared in the Washington Star on June 23rd carried information that "dissident sources said they believed the ruling was iw large part due to American pressure," The dispatch also mentioned that ear­ ly in June 1976 Congressmen signed a letter to Soviet leaders asking that Moroz be freed and allowed to leave the Soviet Union to accept a teaching post at Harvard University,

In the June 28th issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education, one of the most prestigious educational .journals in the United States, there appeared an article titled "Congressmen Seek Release of Ukrainian Historian."
