Rare and historically significant Cold War-era Ukrainian émigré publication titled “Yuriy Shukhevych – The Persecution of Yuriy Shukhevych: A Study in Injustice”, issued by the Ukrainian Student Association of M. Mikhnovsky (TUSM), New York.

This scarce English-language political pamphlet documents the Soviet persecution and imprisonment of Ukrainian dissident Yuriy Shukhevych, son of Roman Shukhevych (Taras Chuprynka), commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).

The publication was produced for Western audiences during the Cold War in order to expose Soviet political repression, human rights abuses, and the treatment of Ukrainian political prisoners in the USSR.

The booklet contains:

* biographical information on Yuriy Shukhevych;

* details of Soviet arrests and prison sentences;

* references to labor camps and exile;

* materials regarding anti-Soviet dissident activity;

* discussions of Soviet political persecution;

* information on the Shukhevych family;

* photographs and documentary-style illustrations;

* historical and political commentary concerning Soviet Ukraine.

The text describes Yuriy Shukhevych’s decades of imprisonment in Soviet prisons and labor camps, including accusations of “anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda.” The booklet also discusses the broader repression of Ukrainian dissidents and nationalist movements under Soviet rule.

A particularly notable aspect of this publication is its connection to the international Ukrainian diaspora and anti-communist student activism in the United States during the 1970s–1980s.
