Valentina Radzymovska: founder of the Ukrainian school of physiologists and biochemistsValentyna Radzymovska (1886–1953) was a Ukrainian physician and scientist who was one of the first in the world to study the influence of acid-base balance on living cells and laid the foundations of the Ukrainian school of physiologists and biochemists. A professor at Kyiv and Lviv institutions, a participant in the liberation struggle and public and political life, she survived arrest in the case of the “Union for the Liberation of Ukraine”, Nazi occupation, and emigration to Germany and the USA. Leading figures of the Ukrainian movement gathered in her Kyiv apartment, and her scientific works combined laboratory experiments with concern for the health of children and tuberculosis patients. The portrait recreates the image of a woman for whom science, Ukraine, and human dignity were inseparable.

He developed the phonetic Ukrainian orthography known as “Kulishivka,” translated Shakespeare and worked on a translation of the Bible, helping to establish standards for the literary Ukrainian language.

He hailed from the then Chernihiv Governorate (now Sumy Oblast).

Taras Shevchenko and a Kazakh Boy Playing with a CatSepia drawing by the Ukrainian artist and poet Taras Shevchenko, created between 1856 and 1857. The artwork depicts Shevchenko in the background, observing a Kazakh boy in the foreground who is playing with a cat.
The drawing was made while Shevchenko was in exile at Novopetrovsk fortress (now Fort Shevchenko in Kazakhstan) on the Mangyshlak Peninsula. During his ten years in exile, he was officially forbidden from writing or painting. However, he continued his artistic work secretly with the support of friendly locals and his friends. He was assigned to a geological expedition, which provided him with opportunities to sketch.
The drawing is in the collection of the National Museum of Taras Shevchenko in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Bishop-Martyr Nykyta BudkaA book presentation was held in Rome last week for the launch of a new biography of the first Ukrainian Greek Catholic Bishop of Canada, Blessed Nykyta Budka. Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of Kyiv-Halych was present for the book launch, along with Bishop Borys Gudziak of Paris and Bishop Hlib Lonchyna of London.
“God’s Martyr, History’s Witness,” by Father Athanasius McVay, was commissioned by the Ukrainian bishops of Canada for the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Bishop Budka’s arrival in Canada.
Bishop Budka began his ministry in Canada in 1912, just before the beginning of the first World War. After 15 years in Canada, he returned to his native Galicia in what is now Ukraine. During the Soviet occupation of Ukraine following World War II, Bishop Budka was imprisoned and deported to Kazakhstan, where he died a martyr’s death.
