Aleksievych also heard Mr. Svystun’s public presentations back in 1927 in Regina and in Yahir(?????) in 1928. Svystun was highly educated person and tried to engage others, like Mr. Romaniuk from Edmonton who was a lawer. Aleksievych had a personal conversation with Svystun after his presentation in 1945. Svystun abandoned his old political views by that time (thinking that independent Ukraine was possible should Hitler win) and tried to persuade Ukrainians in that through Prohresyvnyi Rukh. It was the day when Japan capitulated. Aleksievych brought Mr & Mrs Svystun to Smoky Lake for a supposed public presentation at the Narodnyi Dim. Aleksievych’s organization (Tovarystvo ob’iednanykh ukrains’kykh kanadtsiv) benefitted from relations with the Soviet Ukraine (libraries, museums, scientific literature). Saskatoon is culturally related to Chernivtsi. Professor Chernetskyi (???) was against this, but others like Prof Bygin (???) and Prof. Bunio (???) made possible that a monument of Lesia Ukrainka was erected at the campus of the Saskatoon University. Robitnyche Tovarystvo, Tovarystvo ob’iednanykh ukrains’kykh kanadtsiv, and Ukrains’ka Prohresyvna Presa (celebrated its 75 years in November) played a big role in that but never were enemies of Canada, Canadian culture, or Ukrainian people.

Forced conscription to the Romanian army. Brothers’ fate during the Romanian occupation.

Part 4: Aleksievych is Orthodox Christian. He came to Canada in 1925 (Chernivtsi - Poland - Vienne - Paris - port Sherburg - Halifax (took him 9 days to cross the ocean)). He was 20 y.o. and was traveling together with 4 other peers. Had to bribe a Romanian customer to let them go. In 1927 in Regina Aleksievych became a member of the Tovarystvo. he is still a Communist. Communist Party had a big influence: when in 1930 Tyn Vlad (????) came to Edmonton, 15000 people were awaiting him. To be a communist in Canada is a hard thing, you have to love your people and serve them faithfully. Communism and its purpose. Aleksievych became a member of the Communist Party in 1929 when Leipman (???) from Alberta, who attended a school in Moscow, came in November 1930 with a public speech. People from Peace River reported to the Police that Aleksievych wanted a Revolution in Canada, yet Communist Party was legal back then in Canada. Helping Ukraine during the hunger (which was NOT hand made). Kobzei (???) and Lobai (???) left the Communist Party, and Kobzei wrote about it in the “Kanadiiskyi farmer” and had public presentations; together with Taras Triasyna (???) showed a film in Regina (against the Soviet authorities in Ukraine). Arrests among Communists in Canada. In 1939 Canadian government confiscated the building of his organization and transferred it to the organization of Ob’iednanykh ukrainskykh natsionalistiv. Later on, the building was returned back to them. they nevertheless gave concerts in a German Hall and other Hall. Freeing their fellows from concentration camps. CUC and Communist organization. Lawyers Phillips and Simpson (???) tried to create CUC as a counterforce to Progressive Ukrainian movement. Publishing house in Winnipeg was confiscated but Ukrainski visti continued to be published.

Part 5: New Ukrainski visti and CUC; Kongresovyi Ukrainskyi Komitet (in USA) struggling for power; UNO, Bratstvo katolykiv, Sichovi striltsi. Anton Hlynka went to London and Rome to fight for the newcomers after WWII; deciding which DPs should come to Canada; newcoming DPs chose different Ukrainian organizations; OUN; Hlynka and his attitudes towards Communists; Ivan Iakur (???) was competing against Hlynka (he was a lawyer born in Andrew, AB) to become a Parliment member in Ottawa; Vasyl’ Halina from the Communist Party; Hlynka played a big role in bringing DPs into Canada; DPs strengthened the Nationalists cercles in Canada, but did not harm the Communist ones (though they tried to: put a bomb in a Robitnychyi Dim in Toronto and in Edmonton; attacked meetings).
