The historical fact that the Russian Empire disintegrated long ago and in its place was created a voluntary union of sovereign states was neither the treaty of Khmelnytsky." mentally assimilated nor psychologically fixed either in the West or in the Soviet Union itself. Tradition took precedence over law. The Soviets would have us believe that the Pereiaslav treaty was the result From an administrative-juristic standpoint, the Soviet Union should be of a natural historical development whereby the two parties recognized their compared not to the United States, as is sometimes done, but to a united Europe, it common roots. They tell us that Kievan Rus was not a Ukrainian state, but a is precisely here that equal, allied states strive to unite their efforts. Precisely here is state established by Eastern Slavs which became the cradle of three created an all-European parliament which, through its prerogatives, reminds one of "fraternal" peoples — Russians, Ukrainians and Byelorussians. The the all-union government in its original form. But, a united Europe was never a Ukrainian nation, say these Soviet sources, emerged only in the 14th century single empire, while the Soviet Union was created in place of the Russian Empire — i.e. after the disintegration of Kievan Rus. which existd for several centuries. This is why that which was formed after October 1917 was burdened with all the horrors of the past. The "reunification" in 1654, the Soviet argument continues, helped to Each of the union republics, in accordance with the Constitution of the USSR, is further even closer historical development of the two peoples and to as sovereign as any state that belongs to the European commonwealth, which one can indeed call a union. strengthen the friendship between them. However, the imperialistic past of Russia hangs like a dark shadow over the allied peoples, not allowing them to speak of their constitutional rights.Tha t is why The Soviets would also have us believe — very conveniently for them — the personality cult, which in its worst form reproduced tsarist authoritarianism, is that the forced incorporation of Ukraine into the USSR was simply the substituted with another cult; from podia the word "union" goes forth, but it is continuation of the "reunification" agreed to in 1654. understood as "Russia." And that this has continued for six lull decades is in no small measure the responsibility of Western leaders, for whom it was just as difficult Soviet propaganda for the observance of this "landmark event in the to break away from age-old traditions as it was for the peoples of the Russian history of Ukraine" 325 years ago, was begun last year and is continuing in its Empire. media - those designed for external as well as internal consumption - with in the meantime, the real sovereignty of the allied states, for the sake of which reports of festivals staged to mark the anniversary, letters to the editor rivers of blood have been spilled, is being steadily transformed into a convention of pointing out the "great historic friendship" between the Russian and protocol. And in recent years, chauvinistically inclined officials of the Russian Ukrainian nations, and historical "analyses" of the treaty. federation, whom no one ever punished for their militant chauvinism, contemptously disregard even this pitiful convention. Today, for example, while it is up to us in the West to be on our guard and to expose this propaganda these lines are being written, a senior investigator of the procuracy of the city of Moscow, someone named T'khonov, is digging among papers confiscated on his for what it is: the falsification of history by the world's largest existing orders from five members of the Ukrainian Public Group to Promote the colonial empire, that "prison of nations" known as the Soviet Union. implementation of the'Helsinki Accords, it had not even dawned on him to turn to (Continued on page 7)

Spotlight on the UNA insurance - an instant estate Sips that pass in the night An estate is something that you leave upon your death to your wife, children or others dear to you. it can amount to Si or more, or run in the red figures, by Roman J. Lysniak depending on how much thought you had given to the matter. ...A if there were not the high degree of taxation, the inflationary spiral,our, at times, exorbitant life styles, and the high cost of living, it would perhaps be possible, as in John Subota, our Ukrainian American hero, prided the days of "Robber Barons" to accumulate a large fortune and upon our demise to himself on being something of a good Samaritan. He was bequeath a degree of security to our loved ones. passing an apartment house in the small hours of the But things being as they are, it is generally impossible to accumulate a desired morning one day, while walking his dog, when he noticed a estate, except through insurance.

Once an insurance company, and we hope that in "Do you want me to help you upstairs?" your case it will be the Ukrainian National Association, accepts that first premium "Yup." for your insurance, you have provided for your family's needs upon your demise.

The "Yep," was the feeble reply. higher your goals, the more life insurance you should carry. "Do you live in this house, too?" The Ukrainian National Association has life insurance policies to suit your needs "Yep." and the needs of members of your family.
