If you woke up from a coma and flipped on the TV, how sure would you be the USSR was dissolved and national sovereignty triumphed?
In the US:
A search engine called the “Knowledge Generation Bureau“, but always plays up to their acronym.
In Canada, I covered this last year but it has returned to the airwaves:
Bonus: For some reason there’s some sort of communist accountant in North Toronto.
From UkeTube:
Taras Hryhorovych Chubay (Ukrainian: Ð¢Ð°Ñ€Ð°Ñ Ð“Ñ€Ð¸Ð³Ð¾Ñ€Ð¾Ð²Ð¸Ñ‡ Чубай), (born in June 21, 1970, in Lviv) is a Ukrainian musician and poet. He is the son of the poet Hryhoriy Chubay.
Taras Chubay founded the Plach Yeremiji rock band in February, 1990. The songs of Chubay and his band are usually serious, philosophical poems accompanied by rock. The music sounds hard, then changes to an easy ballad, and again explodes, overfilled by emotions.
The musician has created more than 100 songs and one overture for an orchestra. He is also known for his active social position, taking part in democratic and pro-European movement gatherings.[1] The old UPA song Lenta za Lentoyu performed by Chubay had become a hit at events organized by the "orange forces" and was performed at the meetings of Narodna Samooborona Movement.[2]
In 2006, the rock band Plach Yeremiji and its frontman took part in the "Concert for Angels" devoted to the memory of Kiev students killed during the Battle of Kruty.[3]
Many songs of Taras Chubay are dedicated to the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.[4]
Sadly, the closest news programming you’ll find so far on the Holodomor and Walter Duranty of the New York Times.
Found this YouTube movie uploaded recently, very nicely done!
From the Living Strings: The Story of the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus:
The story of the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus is one of incredible courage and true grit – a vivid chronicle that celebrates the human spirit. This is the triumphant story of the original seventeen members of the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus who were transported to slave-labour camps in Germany in 1942 and survived one of the most horrific periods in the history of the modern world – World War II.
They were gifted musicians and poets who defied the odds while performing for multitudes of Ukrainians across Europe in the years the war ensued. Through harrowing adventures these men and their families made their way to displaced persons camps and eventually across the ocean to freedom in North America in 1949. This is the story of the Ukrainian spirit that never gave up, a story of incredible heroism – the story of ‘Living Strings’.
