Vasyl Tkachuk
Vasyl Tkachuk (Ukrainian: Василь Ткачук; 13 January 1916 in Illintsi village (ukr.: Іллінці), nowadays Kolomyia Raion, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast (ukr.: Івано-Франківська область) – 19 October 1944 in East Prussia), Ukrainian self-taught writer-poet, eulogist of Hutsulshchyna (ukr.: Гуцульщина), political and social activist. Life Vasyl Tkachuk was born in a very poor rural family to Ivan and Olena Tkachuk. He had two siblings, brother Oleksiy (born in 1904) and sister Mariya (born in 1912). The size of poverty in which Tkachuk grew up can be picture by living conditions: one chamber hut (about 16 m²) occupied by two families, ten people altogether. After death of Tkachuk’s father and grandmother in 1921 the responsibility to provide for the family went to his mother, Olena. In 1922 Tkachuk started his education in a local primary school, which he finished in 1930. During this period he wrote his first poems. Tkachuk le ...

People From The Kingdom Of Galicia And Lodomeria
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Hutsuls
The Hutsuls (sometimes the spelling variant: Gutsuls; uk, Гуцули, translit=Hutsuly; pl, Huculi, Hucułowie; ro, huțuli) are an ethnic group spanning parts of western Ukraine and Romania (i.e. parts of Bukovina and Maramureș). They have often been officially and administratively designated as a subgroup of Ukrainians and are largely regarded as constituting a broader Ukrainian ethnic group. Etymology The origin of the name ''Hutsul'' is uncertain. The most common derivations are from the Romanian word for "outlaw" (cf. Rom. ''hoț''–"thief", ''hoțul''–"the thief"), and the Slavic ''kochul'' (Ukr. ''kochovyk''–"nomad") which is a reference to the semi-nomadic shepherd lifestyle or the inhabitants who fled into the mountains after the Mongol invasion. Other proposed derivations include from the Turkic tribe of the Utsians or Uzians, and even to the name of the Moravian Grand Duke Hetsyla, among others. As the name is first attested in 1816, it is considered ...

Red Army
The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army (Russian: Рабо́че-крестья́нская Кра́сная армия),) often shortened to the Red Army, was the army and air force of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and, after 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The army was established in January 1918. The Bolsheviks raised an army to oppose the military confederations (especially the various groups collectively known as the White Army) of their adversaries during the Russian Civil War. Starting in February 1946, the Red Army, along with the Soviet Navy, embodied the main component of the Soviet Armed Forces; taking the official name of "Soviet Army", until its dissolution in 1991. The Red Army provided the largest land force in the Allied victory in the European theatre of World War II, and its invasion of Manchuria assisted the unconditional surrender of Imperial Japan. During operations on the Eastern Front, it accounted for 75–80% of casual ...
