greetings, good evening, my name is myroslava barchuk, this is the program "proper names: a joint project of the tv channel and ukrainian foam. we are meeting with you at christmas time, and exactly at christmas time exactly 51 years ago, a pogrom of the ukrainian intelligentsia took place, as they said then, and now we are talking about ukrainian intellectuals, in 1972 19 people were arrested in kyiv and lviv, and actually these arrests, this wave is the next wave in the ukrainian intelligentsia, called an arrested carol. today we will talk about a cultural phenomenon, an underground publication that at that time... in the early 70s was published in lviv and printed in the west, this cultural phenomenon was called

the ukrainian herald, and its creator, publisher and author was vyacheslav chornovil. today there are only three persons, witnesses and participants of this edition, this is valentina chornovil, sister of vyacheslav chornovol, this is mykhailo kosiv, a publicist who lives in... and this is a public figure, a people's deputy of the first convocations, yaroslav kendzir, who today there is my guest mr. yaroslav , i congratulate you, good evening, christ is born, let us praise him, and glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, today we will talk with you about the real thing, not just about self-published, but, as i said, about a cultural phenomenon, the ukrainian herald, it was a true printed underground. edition, we will further talk about how dangerous

it was for people, for you, yes, for everyone who published it, let's start with why it is so important, why this printed edition of those times, the ukrainian herald, why it was so it is important, you know, that it is a phenomenon of underground writings of some kind in various forms, whether they are written. transcribed, reproduced, by hand, or somewhere on a typewriter, because then there were not so many of those means for reproduction, this is a suitable technique today, and it can be done quickly, but at that time in that forbidden non-censored e-e literature, which walked around and typed something, informed about it. what was not allowed and what was feared by the soviet authorities at that time, starting

from around 1965, when the first kgb pogroms, arrests, arrests, all over ukraine, in the end, such a limit, when it began to roll in such a way. this is after the presentation of the film parajan, shadows of forgotten ancestors, there is a lot to report, well, in particular, we will talk about vyacheslav chornovil, vyacheslav chornovil as a politician, in my opinion, it begins from this moment when he is together with ivan dzyuba ... by his comrades, then stood up and protested,

they informed very briefly with one slogan that there is a wave of repression in ukraine and so on, and who is against, who is against arrests, repression stand up, not so many stood up people, but vyacheslav, vyacheslav the politician begins with the report, because my question, my question, is what to know? why is it not a postcard , yes, why is it not some self-published one, but it was a real edition, yes, a printed one, what was its significance then in the 70s, 72, paraslav, i just want to prove that what make the phenomenon itself, it was there even before that, but so that it acquired such a content and form, so that it became obvious. a terrible danger for a totalitarian state, it

began with, here i managed to catch the disaster with mind, this is a disaster from the mind, this is a book that was in front of the ukrainian herald, in front of the ukrainian herald, it is about the events of the arrests of 1965, it is the book of vyacheslav chornovol, for which he received the first term of imprisonment, that's right, three years , and plus another one. the book before that was justice or relapses of terror, and for these two editions, which were published in the west, he received, as vyacheslav himself says, different systems, different. ratings in britain, great, he received an international journalistic award, and in his native soviet union he received three years and prisons of the camp, and he served, he served less than three years, because there was some kind of communist jubilee there and an amnesty

was announced, and vyacheslav was arrested for this book. and he was imprisoned in august, and sometime in october, a trial was held and he was sentenced to 3 years . 67th year, we say yes, 67th year, yes, and in february, early march, i don't remember the exact date. in 69th, he spent one and a half years and there in he was born, he thought about the time , there was probably a lot of what to do, how? after all, to move, so to speak, this machine, this union, who did things here, her miracles are black and bloody , and he convinces the whole west through his mass media, convinces the whole world that democracy is flourishing here, how people live happily here and so on, and that's all, and these handwritten

self-publishing cheat sheets that went around , well, i... i guess i copied vasyl symonenko myself, there was also mykola vengranovsky, but it didn’t have this effect, because, well, dozens of people at most read it and that’s all, and he just thought about how to do, for the world to hear, for millions of people to hear that is being created in order to break through this iron curtain, which was built by the former soviet union, its leadership, and fooled the whole world, what a happy life there is. that is, he actually plans to create not just a publisher himself, but a printed edition, we will tell you later how it goes, where, where it is written about what, where it is written about the truth that exists here, in particular in ukraine,

arrests, political prisoners, state '. everything and people's lives, economic life, uh, and so on, and so on, everything he lives by, that is, he, the logic of his idea was such that it should turn out to be a full-fledged, uh, magazine, where there will be columns information, publicists, works, uh , shot, writers, shot revival of this period, works that... families, family members, prisoners who went to visit their relatives in mordovia, sometimes managed to transport from there , they transmitted and these works got into the ukrainian gazette, that is, it is a full-fledged magazine of 150, sometimes 200

pages, let's listen, we have a direct language, the memory of vyacheslav chornovol. what, these are archival footage, in fact, what yaroslav kendzuar, it was you who shot your footage, 91st year, vyacheslav chornovil tells about how, while in prison in vinnytsia, he got an idea, the idea matured to publish a ukrainian newspaper, please, in vinnytsia, in a concentration camp, returned, already there i had the intention to publish some periodical that would destroy the national -democratic. strength, because a kind of decline began, as if from the same rise that was in the first half of the 60s, and after returning, i realized these intentions, publishing a magazine, starting the publication of the magazine ukrainian herald. to publish such a magazine underground for two years, when already after the first number, he instantly got abroad, it was also a secret how he got there, when already after the first number the search began, the whole kgb was

raised to its feet to catch who was doing it, because it went abroad and from there it was broadcast on the radio and circulated here... in fact, as soon as this magazine began to be published, i understand that fedorchuk himself, the head of the kgb of ukraine, began to occupy, fedorchuk is a terrible person, i also heard about it, but you will tell about it now , what people risked, who, firstly, vyacheslav chornovil himself, and secondly, all of you who were involved in this, in the publication, in the printing of this magazine, understand, now you... how can people understand that one thing, this piece of paper is written on this printout and there is some sharp poem , which criticizes the soviet government, and this is when... uh, this reprint from the film was published by the smoloskip publishing house in baltimore

, let's talk about baltimore now, let's start with how you did it in ukraine before that how it got to baltimore to osip zinkevich and us then we will tell you about it . it is important to tell the audience that vyacheslav's plan was to the truth about what is happening in ukraine was heard not by tens, not by hundreds, not by thousands, but by millions of people all over the world, because when, when the ukrainian herald was still warm, it was immediately sent to the editorial office of radio svoboda, and then again reprinted in translations into english, italian, german, spanish, and indeed. millions and millions of people listened to the truth about a happy life in soviet ukraine, as we did when vyacheslav

returned from the first imprisonment, he went to kyiv, there he talked with his friends and told about his, his intention, about this idea, he was dissuaded, he was also in svitlichnyi, talked with ivan and other colleagues. we told him that vyacheslav, this will not help, they will tie everyone up after the first number, the kagibists know how to do it, and that's how many of our people are already sitting in prisons, it is necessary to wait this time and then do something, "vyacheslav was very bitter, he returns to lviv, we meet with vyacheslav, and he conveys this idea to me, says slavko, do you agree? to the company , i say, well, what is it about, nice, of course , what i have to do, in the early days, find a place where you can print this magazine, i say,

type the text, that is, type it on a typewriter, yes the manuscripts then i took it upon myself, edited and so on, i say, i have already solved this or that question, where, i say, i have in solonka, it is 5 km from lviv, the second house from the highway that goes here. don't aim for transcarpathia, he says, well, how about that, at the very, very international track, i say, but it's just very good, slavko, someone, well, all kagibists know that if we do something illegal from their point of view, then we hide somewhere in some nook and cranny and that's it, no one will look here, there is a house and that's all, well, once... you think so and that's all, but she was also involved, we still forgot to say who was involved, it was uh, lyuda

sheremettieva, she's uh, a kyivan, she studied at the faculty of journalism in kyiv, in the 65th year of her expelled from the university for anti-soviet activities, lyuda moved to lviv, and she did excellent, professional typing, i don't know how vyacheslav, then she married... a well-known historian and so on, and lyuda did it selflessly, the first ones i took lyuda lyudmila to solonka, again very discreetly, one night we met there with a friend who had his car, he drove us to the village, and she sat there in my house for a week and printed uh... vyacheslav prepared the first two issues and she printed it all, and then it was her turn in this

technology, in this procedure it was necessary to rephotograph on microfilm, this is already to transfer to the west later, to transfer later film, because you wo n’t transfer the folder with it either, that is, i’m sorry, let’s give it first... there were 12 copies, the first copy with the font cut was thrown away, burned, and the last one was very pale, it was difficult, and the second, and the second is the best , the best, he went to take pictures, and here vyacheslav got such a small not-yet -minolt camera somewhere, some kind of small microfilm camera, if i'm not mistaken, 16 or 8 mm, i remember it was the slowest work, because it's been many years passed, not because i was engaged in photography and... on

at the faculty of journalism, where i studied , there was a photo lab there, and so i was, but here at home in the village, well, there was no appropriate equipment and all this, this is at the most primitive, i rephotographed it several times and the same every page was needed, every page of 150 pages in the first issue of the herald. " i need to take these 150 photos, uh, and when i've developed the film, i see that it 's overexposed, there's too much light, everything is black, you can't read anything, otherwise - i've redone it, so it's too light there, it's the same to read, that is, the torment was terrible, but i'm sorry, mr. yaroslav, your mother lived there as well, she knew who you are, what you do, what lyudmila sheremeteva does, what

you do?". did she know and did she ask something, mom, a wise woman , she survived those terrible years, she was born in the 23rd year, two brothers were tortured by the nkvd, so to speak, and she knew very well, so to speak, what the soviet government was able to do, and she always and for me worried about everything, oh, baby, oh, don't go there, oh, but i know what they can do, these bolsheviks, oh... there is her testimony, let's listen to her , she tells, it's difficult for me to watch this footage, mrs. hanna kenziur, this is also a recording from 1991, that's right, 1991, she talks about how this process actually happened and about what, in fact what was she a witness to, the process of printing the ukrainian gazette and actually

its subsequent storage, please. she covered the windows and was so afraid and even endured it, because they took it out and did everything, you know, they planted it on the churms, so what, but you knew what was being done here in the house, you knew, slavik told you, and he didn't tell me like that, because he was afraid, he knew that i was suffering from everything, but i guessed myself what it was, and there was such fear, there was fear, yes, we searched like that, god, the smallest corner, we looked everywhere for insults, on the mugs, they turned the cool credenza upside down where he falls asleep, they looked everywhere at such crafts and turned every smallest corner and corner upside down, so the fear was such, you know that even now, as i remind myself, i can't do it , god forbid mrs. hanna has not returned yet kenju tells about, in particular, the fact that

there was a tremor which... gb was doing precisely in these days of the arrested caroling, in which, which we are talking about, there was also a tremor in solonka. please tell me the most interesting thing that at that time atena pashko handed over, actually another participant, the actual production of the ukrainian herald , handed over such a folder of texts to mr. yaroslav, and just before this kgb search. this folder with texts was in the house in solonka, please tell me about this moment, because it is a wonderful story, such a moment that was imprinted on me, because it was somewhere on the borderline, did i have such a guarantee to receive at least 10 years of mordovian camps, just on january 11 , on the eve of those mass arrests that took place after christmas, after the christmas holidays.

on january 12, 1972, mrs. atena, vyacheslav's wife, came to me and said that it was very difficult to hide those folders in the room, because there are very few hiding places in the apartment, everything is possible there, and she says, in in the village, you can be hidden either in a barn, or in a storeroom, or in hay, or in straw... so that no kgbs will find anything, and she handed me this folder, i in the evening, when i came, i came from lviv , to the village, i took it, i already went to bed, everyone had already gone to sleep, well, in the middle of our little room , there is a cot in which solomia sleeps, who is three years old and a couple of months old, the child is already a straw.
