Philatelic issue marks Ukrainians' 225th year in Austria

VIENNA - To mark 225 years of Ukrainians in Austria and its own 30th anniversary, the Ukrainian Stamp Collectors Club of Austria released a festive cover and a special postmark for November 30, 1997 - both the work of Lviv artist Ivan Turetskyi. On the reverse side it is noted in three languages (English, German and Ukrainian) that from the very beginning the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church of St. Barbara in Vienna, which is depicted on the cover, has been the spiritual and cultural center of Austrian Ukrainians.
