95 institutes of higher learning to spend three years following graduation in a position anywhere in Soviet Russia. Thus 1,2 mil lion Ukrainians would be on outside as signment at any one time. People sentenced for crimes against the state are sent to prisons outside their native republics. A Ukrainian dissident is quoted in an ironi cal statement: “Ukraine, according to its constitution, is also a sovereign state which even has representatives in the United Nations. Her courts sentence thousands of Ukrainians and send them to be de tained beyond her borders — a policy unparalleled in history. Perhaps Ukraine, like the principality of Monaco, has no room for camps? Room was found for seven million Russians, but for Ukraine’s political prisoners there is no room in their native land.” Connors work is important in the ana lysis how Marxist-Leninist regimes attempt to exploit nationalism and fail in this. Bertil Haggman, The Political Warfare Front — a Newsletter on Strategy and Tactics. The Lost Architecture of Kyiv By Titus D. Hewryk. The Ukrainian Museum, New York, 1982, 64 pages This work is a valuable piece of scholar ship. In addition to splendid photography the author offers a monograph-length study covering Kyiv’s lost architecture. The work is an outgrowth of the Photographic Archi tectural Exhibition organized in 1982 by the Ukrainian Museum in New York. Titus D. Hewryk, who was the guest curator for this exhibit, thoroughly researched the sub ject and prepared this monograph-catalogue. In order to realize the uniqueness and the importance of the exhibit, we would like to cite two short passages from the catalogue’s Foreword: “Unfortunately, much of the Kyivan architectural heritage with its magnificent Byzantine and Baroque structures has been mindlessly destroyed and little remains of the ancient city’s townscape.” Furthermore: “An attempt to reconstruct the events leading to the de struction of these landmarks can only be partially successful, since there is little do cumentation of these events. In many cases there is only limited information available on these lost historical structures, for few studies have been made of them before their demolition. Often it is impossible to trace the exact date of demolition of these landmarks for there is no accurate register of their destruction.” By its organization, its breadth, and above all by its illustration of the lost features of Kyivan architecture, the exhibit and its monograph-catalogue incontrovert- ibly substantiate the need for more such exhibits and more illustrative studies to publicize how the Soviet Union engaged on a destructive enterprise to obliterate the historical past of the Ukrainian capital. So vast, and bold, and destructive an under taking must produce strong reactions; in deed, it became an inexhaustible source of ammunition, directed against the Soviet Russian regime which perpetrated such heinous crimes against art in general and against Ukrainian past and culture in particular. The study consists of a lengthy intro duction that delineates the historical and cultural value of the major architectural landmarks of Kyiv demolished between 1920 and 1941 and four separate shorter studies of the various regions of Kyiv (Uppertown, Podil, Khreshchatyk Avenue, 96 Pecherske, and Center’s Periphery) where the demolished landmarks stood, beauti fying the overall view of the capital. Altogether the Soviet Russians disman tled thirty significant historical landmarks, among them the Monastery of St. Michael of the Golden Domes, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin or the Church of the Tithes (Desyatynna), the Collegiate Church of the Pyrohoshcha Madonna, the Main Church and Belfry of the Bratskyi Monastery of the Epiphany, the Church of Sts. Borys and Hlib and its Belfry, the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas (“The Great Nicholas”), the Collegiate Church of the Assumption of the Virgin of the Monastery of the Caves, and others. Since Mr. Hewryk’s work is patently intended as a comprehensive survey, the author shrewdly and sensitively struggles to give cohesion to the whole. As a result, its orderliness and simplicity are at once admirable. The work calmly identifies those aspects of reality that created or constituted the peculiar climate ending with the destruction of the individual monu ments. Significant assumptions and con clusions already laid down in the introduc tion make sure that everyone at the begin ning understands something about the value of Kyivan architecture which can then serve as a basis for further explora tions and even new postulations. Each church is well documented by excel lent photography, plans of the structure, and drawings of the front facades. The work contains also photography of demo lition of some churches and monasteries like St. Michael’s (in 1935), the Church of St. Basil (Three Hierarchs; in 1935). The study is also provided with maps from the 1930s of the city of Kyiv and its regions like Uppertown, Podil, and Pecherske. The work’s scholarly apparatus consists of notes (76 altogether) and a brief bibliography indicating works published in the Soviet Union and elsewhere. There are remarkably few arrays in the work so filled with names of the churches, dates, and details of every kind. This work is indeed very valuable. Its scholarly tone is the best guarantee that it will not be mistaken just for a catalogue but will be understood as a serious work. If Mr. Hewryk has not answered all pos sible questions with this first study, he has nevertheless laid the groundwork for future studies which, one hopes, will include more material within a rigorous theoretical framework.

Captive Nations Week Proclamation The unique and historic significance of our nation has always derived from our role as a model of political freedom, social justice and personal opportunity. While not a perfect nation, we have offered to the world a vision of liberty. It is a vision that has motivated all our national endeavors and serves us yet as an anchor of conscience. The humanity and justice of our collective political life and the freedom and limitless opportunity in our personal lives are an inspira tion for the peoples of the world, both for those who are free to aspire and for those who are not. The uniqueness of our vision of liberty comes not only from its historical development, but also from the conviction that the benefits of liberty and justice rightfully belong to all humanity. Hostility to this fundamental principle still haunts the world, but our conviction that political freedom is the just in heritance of all nations and all people is firm. Our dedication to this principle has not been weakened by the sad history of conquest, captivity and oppression to which so many of the world’s nations have been subjected. We are all aware of those many nations that are the victims of totalitarian ideologies, ruthless regimes and occupying armies. These are the .nations held captive by forces hostile to freedom, independence and national self-determina tion. Their captivity and struggle against repression require special courage and sacrifice. Those nations of Eastern Europe that have known conquest and cap tivity for decades; those struggling to save themselves from communist ex pansionism in Latin America; and the people of Afghanistan and Kampuchea struggling against invasion and military occupation by their neighbors — all require our special support. For those who seek freedom, security and peace, we are the custodians of their dream. Our nation will continue to speak out for the freedom of those denied the benefits of liberty. We will continue to call for the speedy release of those who are unjustly persecuted and falsely imprisoned. So long as brave men and women suffer persecution because of their national origin, religious beliefs and desire for liberty, the United States of America will demand that the signatories of the United Nations Charter and the Helsinki Accords live up to their obliga tions and respect the principles and spirit of those international agreements and understandings. Each year we renew our resolve to support the struggle for freedom through out the world by observing Captive Nations Week. It is a week in which all Americans are asked to remember that the liberties and freedoms which they enjoy as an inherent right are forbidden to many nations. It is a time to affirm publicly our conviction that, as long as we remain firm in our support, the light of freedom will not be extinguished. Together with the people of these captive nations, we fight against military occupation, political oppression, communist ex pansion and totalitarian brutality. The Congress, by joint resolution approved July 17, 1959 (73 Stat. 212), has authorized and requested the President to designate the third week in July as “Captive Nations Week”. Now, therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning July 21, 1985, as Captive Nations Week. I invite the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities to reaffirm their dedication to the international prin ciples of justice and freedom, which unite us and inspire others. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-five, and of the independence of the United States of America the two hundred and tenth.

O rlo w skyj THE GREAT MYTH REJECTED Technology and Liberation Policy Over the last forty years, one great myth has persisted in most political circles concerning the Soviet Russian empire, namely, the impossibility of dismantling it without the threat of thermonuclear war. Today, the myth must be rejected. A three stage process by which Soviet Russian imperialism can be liquidated without the direct use of Western military force is emerging. Two stages have already materialized. One, there is a growing recognition by the oppositional forces inside the nations subjected to Moscow’s rule — directly or by proxy — that the foreign domination is total, hence they no longer see a middle ground, a point of reconciliation between themselves and the Kremlin or its puppet regimes. The notion of possible Communist rule with a ‘human face’ is dead. T h e idea of national liberation through revolutionary struggle is alive and m aturing rapidly. Two, the West has recently made a series of breakthroughs in the field of high technology. This, in turn, has made the Russians vulnerable on two levels. In particular, the enormous space-based communication systems that the West has deployed have made the Iron Curtain completely penetrable to information from the West. In general, the West’s technological advance ments are building pressure on the Kremlin to broaden the use and knowledge of high technology within its empire to dangerous proportions as it can be used by the respective oppositional, revolutionary forces against it. The third stage has not yet materialized, but its theoretical outlines are clear. In essence, the West should make its technological resources available to the respective oppositional, revolutionary forces. With such resources in hand, the respective oppositional, revolutionary forces would be able to spread their concepts to all strata of their respective nations, indeed, to unite the active partners of all subjugated nations. Furthermore, with the proper equip ment from the West, the Kremlin’s own technological advances, if they come, can be used against it. Clearly enlightened, the subjugated nations will be capable of enlarging mass insurgent movements aimed at liquidating the Soviet Russian empire from within, making any Western military activity unnecessary. Let us examine the three stages more thoroughly. First Stage: Rising Consciousness That the opposition forces within nations subjected to Russian domination are growing militant in their consciousness is clear from both their pronounce ments and actions. Gone are the days of Dubchek’s Prague Spring, the heady days of Solidarity and its attempts to negotiate change with the puppet Polish Communist regime, the days of various Helsinki groups hoping to gain con cessions on human rights through legal recourse. The various elements of re sistance have awakened to the fact that Soviet Russian imperialism is essen tially different from all past historical imperialisms in that it attempts to forcibly implant a Russian Bolshevik way and philosophy of life on all social, 1 political, economic, cultural and religious levels in the nations that it dominates. They have come to understand that such an assault can only be won with the counterforce — an entire nation mobilized towards breaking its chains. Finally, they have comprehended that such a mobilization can occur only if they completely reject Bolshevism in form and content and implement the subjugated nations’ values and norms of life. Examples abound. Afghani opposition, for instance, to the Taraki and Amin regimes, was constant, but moderate in form. Before 1979, the connec tion between the Afghan communists and the Kremlin was not completely clear. The Soviet Russian invasion, however, settled the issue once and for all. Almost immediately, the Russians began to impose the anti-national Bol shevist way of life. Anyone who stood in the way was exterminated. The Afghan resistance, to its credit, achieved awareness quickly. Moreover, its response was decisive — the declaration of a holy war against the Russian invader. Most important, the war mobilized the entire Afghani population because the insurgent core fell back on the most appropriate symbols at hand— God and Nation. Today, six years later, the insurgency has proved its worth, the Rus sian empire remains bogged down in a quagmire. Already the Bolsheviks have suffered a moral defeat. Poland provides a second example. Before 1981, the leaders of Solidarity felt that they could effect fundamental change through negotiations. They did not realize that they were negotiating not with a Polish partner, but with Moscow itself, in the person of General Jaruzelski who is maintained in power by a Bolshevik system of occupation including Russian armed forces. After the crushing of Solidarity, matters changed dramatically. The persons who have survived and gone underground have come to an important realization — i.e. that national political structures cannot be built parallel to Bolshevik Russian institutions, but only in diametric opposition to them in the course of a continuous liberation struggle. The realization has been underlined by So lidarity’s underground leader Z. Bujak in a clandestine interview with the New York Times recently. Bujak now clearly calls for a ‘long march’ of resistance to the colonial regime — building clandestine organizations in schools, factories, scientific, academic and cultural institutions. Bujak believes that any type of legal form of struggle is no longer feasible. In an interview he states that “there exists a very strong resistance movement... a movement to boycott all institutions of the regime and I regard this element as very signifi cantly changing the classic system of communist rule.” Another example comes from Ukraine, where the struggle against the Soviet Russian oppressions has gone through several phases. It is an historical fact that in the 1940’s — the struggle of the heroic OUN-UPA was militant in all aspects. But with its military defeat in the early 1950’s a new generation of resistance grew up. In the 1960’s, the opponents of Russian domination sought to cure abuses by stressing the issue of national and human rights — often falling back on the Soviet constitution. When they were crushed through mass arrests, they were replaced by the Helsinki groups who tried to use interna tional accords to prevent Bolshevik denial of these rights. They too were crushed in the late 1970’s. The lesson has been learned. The present increased struggle centers around the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the Catacombs.
