The best generalization of our history comes down to that the entire history of Ukraine – a story of struggle for freedom.

M. Polyutin

To be Ukrainian – is to be constantly in a state of proving his right to exist.

V. Vynnychenko

Society must… have… the courage to look at the unvarnished truth of his past, to scoop it in force. Know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

M. Hrushevskyi

Dedicate the bright memory of my father Dehodyuka Sidorovich Gregory, who taught me to respect the history of his native land of boundless love and Ukraine.
