On the very date of this issue of The Ukrainian Weekly, we mark the 86th anniversary of its establishment – a significant milestone in the life of our community.
This newspaper was born thanks to the initiative of Svoboda’s visionary Editor-in-Chief Luke Myshuha, which was based on his concept of “two homelands,” whereby Ukrainians could at once be true patriots of Ukraine and loyal citizens of the countries where they resided. And it was born with the mission of keeping new generations of Ukrainians born in America involved in our community life.
