Joseph Stalin and his successors waged war on Ukrainian culture. destroying churches and valuable artifacts. burning books and other literary treasures. Nearly 50 years ago. a group of displaced Ukrainian scholars living in Cleveland. Ohio. began a museum and archives in the Tremont area. the place where the neighborhoods meet the industrial valley and home to many immigrant communities. also. by the way. home to the community where I first began my political career over 30 years ago. Their mission was to preserve valuable items of Ukrainian culture during an Orwellian era when these items were being deliberately destroyed in Ukraine itself. Tapping into a network of similar scholars. displaced diplomats and ordinary citizens. the Ukrainian MuseumArchives compiled a worldclass collection of Ukrainiana.
