However, a number of regions experienced setbacks due to a hardened and increasingly shrewd authoritarian response to these move- ments. While the number of countries ranked as free in 2012 was 90, a gain of three over the previous year, 27 countries showed significant declines, compared with 16 that showed notable gains. This is the seventh consecutive year that Freedom in the World has shown more declines than gains worldwide.

Yet state officials, diplomats and thou- sands of Catholics from Ukraine and abroad – including hundreds of Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) students and graduates – packed St. George Cathedral in Lviv on August 26 to witness the consecra- tion of the Rev. Borys Gudziak as the 49th bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. He will serve as apostolic exarch for Ukrainian Catholics of France, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. The cathedral’s tightly packed crowd – in which it was difficult for even politicians to get up front – reflected the profound effect that Bishop Borys, who turns 52 in November, has had on Ukrainian higher education during his 10-year tenure as UCU rector. During that decade, more than 2,500 students graduated, a 42-acre theo- logical seminary was built and construc- Zenon Zawada tion was launched on a 10-acre central campus where students now live.

THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY Published by the Ukrainian National Association Inc., a fraternal non-profit association Vol. LXI No. 46 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1993 50 cents World Congress of Ukrainians faces new era with new name Cipywnyk elected president by Andrij Wynnyckyj TORONTO — The World Congress of Free Ukrainians dropped the "Free" from its name during its sixth congress, held November 3-7, and elected Dr. Dmytro Cipywnyk, former president of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, as its president. The congress was the first since the declaration of Ukraine's indepen­ dence, and was conducted with a member of the Ukraines Cabinet, an ambassador and parliamentary deputies in attendance. With endorsements from Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Mykola Zhulynsky, among others, the World Congress of Ukrainians also shrugged off debate that it should be dissolved, that it was financially crippled and ill-equipped to move into the future. Its new president. Dr. Cipywnyk, said that "the WCU must succeed, as it is a potent symbol and vehicle for Ukrainian influence within countries where they have settled." He warned against "premature" talk of dissolv­ ing existing organizations, saying that this would erode the community's hard-earned standing in countries of the diaspora. The main themes of the congress were the commemo­ ration of the 1932-1933 famine, work with newly inde­ pendent Ukraine, and a new definition of the term "dias­ pora" as the sphere of the WCU's activities.
