Overseas Populations
One of Ukraine’s cultural resources over the years were the overseas populations of Ukranians. Half a million Ukrainians had emigrated to the Americas before WWI. Most of those went into mining and industry in the US, but about 100,000 found a new home in Canada.
These sympathizers were useful to Ukraine’s rising nationalism. They provided a haven for refugees, funds to support the resistance, and, most of all, a platform for free speech. The oldest Ukrainian newspaper in the States is Svoboda (“liberty”), which was first published in New Jersey in 1893. Illicit copies regularly found their way back to Ukraine.Having a large, vocal population of overseas advocates was important. It gets harder to manipulate events and records if the world press shows an interest in what you are doing. Ukraine was gradually putting pieces of its own into play in the war-games over Ukraine.
