The Soviet regime feared the influx of millions of hungry people and homeless children from Ukraine into Russia. Eyewitnesses stated that all of Ukraine lived in railway stations. Even the smallest stations had between 1,000 and 2,000 people who left their land in search of food.

by Roma Hadzewycz

GLEN SPEY. NY. Thousands descended on the Ukrainian Fraternal Association's resort center. verkhovyna, during the weekend of July 15-17 to enjoy the eighth annual verkhovyna Ukrainian Youth Festival. The Black Knights of the U.S. Mili– tary Academy at West Point, too, descended - literally, that is - with a demonstration of precision parachute jumping in tribute to the late Walter Steck. former executive director of the festival, who was a colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserves. Mr. Steck, a New York City attorney who was the UFA'S first vice president, died this spring. The UFA Executive Committee dedicated this year's ver– khovyna Festival to Mr. Steck, noting that it was he who had "worked dili– gently to make this Ukrainian festival the best in the United States." "We dedicate this weekend for the very real purpose of trying to show those nearest and dearest to him that their deep sense of loss is shared. We hope that in some way, by showing our sense of loss and fond remembrance, we can help further the sense of a life well lived, a time on earth well spent, and a heritage of lasting memory," the UFA executives wrote in their tribute to Mr. Steck. The three-day festival, which tradi– tionally features some of the best . Ukrainian entertainment in North America, as well as arts and crafts booths, foods and evening dances, was directed this year by Mr. Steck's wife Ulana. Over 150 performers, nearly 40 arts and crafts booths, three dance bands, aedseveral-booihs,seHing– both Ukrai– - rh^rrvna'TrrnericSn"'Toods. added up to what was the 1983 verkhovyna Festival. The program comprised four stage shows, one on Friday evening, two on Saturday - afternoon and evening, and one on Sunday afternoon. All were emceed by Roman Shwed, an architect from Philadelphia. They were presented on verkhovyna's huge outdoor stage which is framed by stately evergreens that provide a cool dark backdrop for the dancers, singers and musicians who perform. Headlining this year's show was the voloshky Ukrainian Dance Ensemble of Philadelphia founded by Zoia Hraur Korsun and now directed by Alexander Hraur and Sophia Janusz. More than 75 of the members of the Ukraina Dance Ensemble of Chicago's SUM-A branch traveled to Glen Spey to perform at the festival. The troupe's director is Stephen Babyk; Evhen Litvinov is the choreographer. The verkhovyna Dance Workshop, held annually at the UFA resort under the direction of Roma Pryma Bohachev– sky. rounded out the Ukrainian dance portion of the program. The vocalists on the program includ– ed the Namysto sextet of Washington and soloist Lina Beluts. in addition, two bands, lskra of New York and Solovey of Toronto, performed in concert. in between stage shows, festival- goers snacked on favorite Ukrainian and American foods, and strolled around the grounds of verkhovyna. Thousands examined and bought the wares at arts and crafts booths, which featured everything from Ukrai– nian ceramics, pysanky. embroidery, records and tapes, and books to tote bags, jewelry, oil paintings and water- colors, and "Hug mc l'm Ukrainian" T– shirts for tots.
