Editor-in-Chief
The Ukrainian Weekly

Dear Friends:

The Embassy of Ukraine in the United States of America sincerely greets the journalists and publishers of The Ukrainian Weekly on occasion of the 65th anniversary of the newspaper's founding.

We are pleased to note that during these years your publication has grown from a small publication for Ukrainian youth into an independent and influential newspaper on par with distinguished Western mass communications media.

Thanks to the professionalism of your editors and reporters, you are the first to report on many events in the life of the Ukrainian community in the United States and Canada. Through its effective and analytical work, your publication attracts the attention of officials of the U.S. administration and Congress. You have established strong communications with representatives of the Ukrainian government at the Embassy of Ukraine in Washington.

The pages of The Ukrainian Weekly publicize profound discussions of the most significant topics in the history of the Ukrainian nation, both in the homeland and abroad. It is significant that the Great Famine of 1933 especially is analyzed on the pages of your publication by people of the younger generation; it will remain in their memories and in those of succeeding generations.

The Weekly has been progressively expanding its activity. The establishment of press bureaus in Kyiv and Toronto is evidence that The Weekly is growing stronger and that it is no longer merely the publication of one community organization. Many representatives of the political, business and religious circles of the diaspora turn to The Ukrainian Weekly. The newspaper has earned for itself many true friends, who at any moment could be organized into a Society of Friends of The Ukrainian Weekly.

For the future, we wish The Weekly much creative success, a high level of authoritativeness and a greater number of readers - not only in North America but also in Ukraine.

Sincerely,

Yuri Shcherbak
Ambassador
