The Star-Ledger recently reported. Americans must understand the ethnic diversity of the Soviet Union and the tensions caused by Russian domination of the 130 national groups in the country if we are to "base our judgements on Soviet activities on knowledge rather than myth and prejudice," he said. He explained that ethnic Russians make un only slightly more than half of the 250 million people in the Soviet Union and since the birth rates in the European part of the USSR are low and those in the Asian parts are high, ethnic Russians probably will be a minority by the year 2000. While the Soviets maintain a "facade" of federalism gmng each nationality in its borders its own parliament and even its own foreign ministry, real control is concentrated in Moscow, he added.

He says everything is on schedule, despite the logistical complications involved in arranging and preparing music lor such a large number of bandurists in various parts of the world and coordinating rehearsals for the mass ensemble and for smaller ensembles performing in the concert. All that's needed for an outstanding musical event, say concert planners, is the assistance of Ukrainians throughout the country and particularly in the Greater New York Metropolitan area. Financial support is sought through contributions and a lottery featuring substantial gifts donated by Ukrainian institutions (including a custom-made bandura, a S500 gift toward a trip of the winner's choice, and an authentic embroidered Ukrainian blouse).
