In 1970, following individual reports about the plight of the Uniate church, extra-judicial persecution, self-immolation and trials in Kharkiv, the Chronicle published a “Survey of Events in Ukraine” (CCE 18.5).

Unlike the Crimean Tatar movement (1965) and the unregistered Baptist congregations or, later, the Lithuanian opposition (1972), the source of information the Chronicle used about Ukraine (Ukraine Herald), was soon crushed.

Until its own demise in 1983, the Chronicle continued to report on arrests and trials (often “of recent years”) in Ukraine. It also documented the birth and destruction of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group.

A 1971 editorial in the Ukraine Herald (CCE 22.10 [1]) gave guarded approval to the work and attitudes of the Chronicle and the “oppositional forces” it represented.

The classic work’s use of the word ‘Russia’, though probably chosen by the publisher not the author, indicates the uncertainty of the scope of the subject matter.

The Bolshevik ‘Revolution’ {coup d’etat} in November [New Style] 1917 preserved the Tsarist Empire for another 74 years, by formally permitting — despite Stalin’s and, later, Putin’s disapproval — the use of ethnic languages and promotion of national culture in Ukraine and elsewhere (including Russia itself).
