Through Svoboda. American political leaders learned of the Stalinist famine in the Ukraine during the 1930s. the arrests of Ukrainian human rights activists in the 1970s and 1980s. and the final struggle for independence in 1990 and 1991. Svoboda has provided hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian immigrants to this country the opportunity to read about the United States and the world in their native language. Moreover. it has served as the catalyst for the creation of numerous organizations to serve the educational. social. and cultural needs of the UkrainianAmerican community. I commend all those involved with Svoboda these past 100 years and congratulate the Ukrainian National Association for its outstanding work.
