"I HOPE THAT THIS "BUT" IS POSSIBLE
TO OVERCOME, IN OTHER WORDS, IF TO BE MORE EXACT, NOT TO PAY ATTENTION
TO IT, IF IT IS THIS "BUT" ABOUT WHICH I AM ALREADY AWARE. AND I
THINK YOU SHOULD BE MORE OPEN, SIMPLY COME. WE'LL BE GLAD TO SEE
YOU. IF YOU DON'T COME I'LL GET ANGRY. K.B."

"PROPHET"

Will there be punishment
Of all the Czars
on the land?
Will there be truth

There must be,
otherwise the sun will rise
and set on fire
the whole land".
Taras Shevchenko

TARAS SHEVCHENKO, 1814-1861,
Bard of Ukraine, the greatest Ukrainian Poet and Fighter for the
independence of Ukraine and the freedom of all mankind, who under
foreign Russian imperialist tyranny and colonial rule appealed for
"The new and righteous law of Washington." His poems glorified the
lost freedom and statehood of Ukraine. Czar Nicholas had him arrested
and exiled to Russian Asia in 1847. When an amnesty was granted
10 years later, Shevchenko was broken in health and soon died. Ukrainian
