Пантелеймон Куліш у шапціPanteleimon Kulish (1819–1897) was a key figure in the Ukrainian cultural revival. He authored the first Ukrainian historical novel, The Black Council (1857), and worked as a publisher and editor (including the journal Osnova), as well as an ethnographer and historian. 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 moved in the circle of Taras Shevchenko, was married to the writer Hanna Barvinok (Oleksandra Bilozerska), and was connected to the intellectual milieu of the Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood. He hailed from the then Chernihiv Governorate (now Sumy Oblast).
Band New Order performing live in New York in 1981 at the Ukrainian National HomeA New Beginning: This performance was part of New Order’s first U.S. tour, staged a little over a year after Joy Division singer Ian Curtis’s death. It marked a crucial step in the band’s transition and the beginning of their effort to define an identity separate from their previous group. Musical Evolution: On this tour, New Order moved beyond Joy Division’s post‑punk austerity, embracing synthesizers and propulsive rhythms. In New York they unveiled an early, unreleased ten‑minute version of Temptation, drawing rave reviews and cementing their reputation at the forefront of post‑punk. Video Recording: The show—performed in 1981 in New York City—was filmed by Michael Shamberg and later released on VHS as Taras Shevchenko, capturing the band in a raw, transitional phase and becoming a vital document of their early career. The Ukrainian National Home’s name—and the portrait of poet Taras Shevchenko hanging behind the stage—were prominently displayed, underscoring the venue’s cultural co

Nudie Cohn and Gram Parsons in his Flying Burrito Brothers Nudie suitAs the 1960's were winding down, Nudie Cohn's career took on a new dimension when he made a suit for Gram Parsons. An article by Elyssa East in the Oxford American magazine provides some details about the creation of Nudie's most renowned suit:
“The 1960s were coming to a close when rising country rock musician Gram Parsons posed next to Nudie Cohn, the celebrated Western-wear designer more than three times his senior. Raeanne Rubenstein shot their portrait for Show: The Magazine of the Arts at Nudie’s Los Angeles workshop. Over a smooth bare chest and midriff, the twenty-something Parsons wore the suit Nudie designed for him for the cover of the Flying Burrito Brothers’ debut album, The Gilded Palace of Sin. Made of white cavalry twill, it was embroidered with crudely ren

Gazda from KolomyjskeSince ancient times, Ukrainians lived in harmony with nature and were skilful owners, using the knowledge and experience of their ancestors. That's why the Canadian government massively helped them with emigration to Canada at the end of the 19th century, so that they could work on endless uncultivated lands.
