The new Dictionary was published as a limited edition, hard
cover, pocket size book by "ZBRUCH" company in Ternopil,
the city where the author of the book, Rostyslav Sonevytsky,
was born in 1931. Rostyslav left Ukraine with his family during
W.W.II. After living as refugees in displaced persons camps in
Germany the family immigrated to the USA in 1950.
Rostyslav Sonevytsky started his college education in the USA
and received an MA in economics from Columbia University.
He became an economist and worked for IBM in New York
City for over 30 years.
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the resulting
independence of Ukraine gave Rostyslav the idea and stimulus
for the dictionary. Rostyslav felt such a book was needed as
Ukraine moved from a command economy to a market-driven
economy in the years after Independence. He worked on the
dictionary for several years.
In 1995 the author wrote, "Teachers and students, who were
trained in socialist economics, were not exposed to the basic
terminology of Western economic theory. Now, with the
independence of Ukraine, and with theemerging interest in
the construction of a free market economic system, the need
for knowledge of terminology of the free market system for
Ukrainians is essential."
Mr. Sonevytsky died in May,1995, after completing the work
for the dictionary. A few copies of the manuscript were
distributed at that time. His wife, Chrystia, was encouraged by
many persons to have the manuscript published so the book
could be widely distributed to those who could benefit from a
specialized dictionary of this type.
His wife has been working on the project and finally this year
found a group of talented, young professionals in Ternopil,
Ukraine who assisted her in getting the economic and business
dictionary finally published.
Copies of the English-Ukrainian Economic and Business
Dictionary are available for $ 15.00 per copy plus $ 3.00
handling and shipping costs. Copies can be obtained by
