UCCA-IL and the Chicagoland Ukrainian community meet with Roman
Krutsyk,
head of the organization "Memorial"
Roman Krutsyk arrived in Chicago on 13, November 2011. That afternoon he attended the annual
YKY fundraiser, where he had an opportunity to greet Rector Boris Gudziak and the participants. Later
that evening he appeared on the Ukrainian Wave radio program, where he participated in an
interview about his recent research project.

The next day, Mr. Krutsyk was interviewed by the weekly newspaper Chas i Podii and the UCCA
sponsored radio program Ukrainian Evening Tribune. Later that evening he had a town hall style
meeting with the hromada where he detailed his thesis “Narodna Viina” (People’s War).  The
Chicago audience was very attentive and provoked Mr. Krutsyk to add many relevant anecdotes by
asking questions. None of the guests wanted to leave. Mr. Krutsyk packed a lot of valuable
information into the allotted time exposing every relevant historical nuance.

Based on the warm reception by the Chicago audience as well as the important work conducted by
the Memorial organization headed by Mr. Krutsyk, the UCCA Illinois Division decided to make a
donation of $5,000.00 to Memorial to support their research activities.
$15 (includes lunch, program & entertainment)
