subjects discussed wares the financial economy of the raion and State
purchasing of bread grain. The secretary of the Party, Tbpchiy, said that
Bolekhov Raion was far behind in the payment of taxes and that the raion
suet pay 5771 OOO rxblee in taxes in 1949 aril 300,000 insurance money, which
would be 'used for the reconstruction of the national economy and for iaa-
provements in the conditions of the workers. They would try to improve
the life of the population in.Holekhov Raion. Topchiy instructed the heads
to conclude the State grain purchase by 3 September 1949 and to collect
all the financial arrears by 17 September.-
LevcIenkoe head of the raion financial section,, read the report about the
fulfillment of the financial plans. He said that Bolekhov Raion takes
33rd place in the oblast for fulfillment of the plans,, He blamed the
village administration for this. -Ha specially attacked the village of
Cholhany, saying that all the villages fulfilled the plan by 90 to 95
percents whereas Cholhany did so by only 60.04 percent. The financial
agent of Choiharny tried to excuse himself by pointing out that the
greatest arrears were those of old and infirm people, from whom it is
very difficult to collect the money, but Levohenko would not accept this
excuse and threatened the agent with. all sorts of things if he failed to
collect the money. Afterwards Halychuk appealed to the villages to take
part in competition of State purchase and threatened the head and administra-
tion of the village of Cholhany with prosecution and Siberia if they failed
in their deliveries of bread grain quotas.
A decision was reached during. the conference of the Politburo with the. Raion
Executive Committee to censure the'heads of the village councils of
Txusiv and Polyanytsya for their lack of. energy in purchasing of bread
grains. The heads of the village councils of Vy,'vvytspa, Pidberezh, and
,rapche were given advance copies of this decision as a.warning.

.creases in the inventory were primarily because of the fact that, when the
Bolsheviks- deported peasants from Cholhany, Hoziiv.and other villages, they
took their property and gave it to the kolkhoz.
The kolkhoz.has 2B families - 71 persons, 48 of whom are able-bodied, When

peasants :. they take away clothing, confiscate livestock, etc,,, from people
who have no money to pay taxes, On 22 August there was a conference in the
Party offices of all the heads and secretaries of the village councils.
During this conference the head of the raion financial section, Levchenkog
stated that Bolekhov Raion occupies the 33rd place in the oblast in connec-
tion with the financial plans and that it must collect 577,000 krb in taxes
and 300,000 krb in insurance, and that all the villages of the raion have
fulfilled the financial plan from 90 to 95 percent with the exception of
the village of Cholhany, where the percentage was 60.04,-and the responsibility
for that was, according to Levchenko, that of the village administration.
The Bolsheviks forcibly collect taxes from the peasants, pass heavy sentences,
confiscate property, etc. For example, on 18 August 1949 the raion court
sentenced farmer Yurko M. Pilipiv to-15 yearaeimprisonment because he failed
to pay 8,000 krb in taxes and to deliver 800 kg of the grain quota. All his
property was confiscated. By such methods the. Bolsheviks force the peasants
to pay the overdue taxes.

On 19 August in the village of Hosiiv, the film Battle atSS a] r
vas shown. There were eight people present. On 31 August the mobile cinema
arrived in the villages of Rostiohky and Vytvytsya, but -as nobody turned
up there was no film shown.
On 7 August In the Bolekhov station a football match was arranged between
the teams of Zemit Pram Tavoriv and Bolshevik from Bolokhovs the score
was 4 to 3 in favor of the Bolshevik team.
The cinema in the caion center is primarily visited by people from the
wait, Local peopl) only go where on Su ers and holidays. The Bolsheviks
force the workers to attend shows organized for them. They drive then
to the cinema straight from work. Each month they deduct two krb from
the workers' pay, irrespective of whether they have been to the cinema or
not.
Clubs are active in the raion center and in the villages of Vytvytayaq
Hoziiv, Pidbereih, Hoshiv, and Cholhany. They are visited by the members
of brigades stationed there and by the militia.
in the village of ChoLhany, the heat of the club is a certain Volodomir
Rosumovski, born 1931 in the SUZ;ffaatern Ukrainian Territories, and
a member of the Komsomol.. Fecently he has had the club .premises repaired.
He is permanently billeted with the brigade in the village.,
In the village of Herynyn the head of the club is Aleks DA, Leeyak, a
member of the Komsomol, and a ramsettler; and the head of the library is
a member of the Pioneers, Talyama Ivanovich Lisenko from the SUZ.
The other villages of the raion have no clubs but there are appointed
heads of clubs, mostly members of the Komsomol from the radon center, who
have to come down from time to time with the brigades to these villages
and give instructions to the heads of village councils to repair club
premises. Active clubs are under the protection of they militia which is
billeted there. In the village of Cholhany the head of the club serves
with the brigade and brings a radio set with him and when he departs he
takes it back with him to the raion center.. The libraries are open where
the clubs are active. The library in the village of Vytvytsya has purchased
Bolshevik books for .a total of 2,500 krb. In these libraries there are
froti 200 to 1,000 Bolshevik books but they are not being read by the popu-
lation.
The cultural life in the raion is not of very high stafida*d, and the
leaders are not behaving well. "This is demonstrated . by. the following fact:
In the x aion newspaper dated 7 August 1949,, on the second page there is
a sharp criticism by Communists Shtanko and dcrasnevska of the director
of the House of Culture, tiarchuk, and of the head of the artistic self-
entertainment-group, Tyutkalo, it is alleged-that Tyiutkalo arrived in
the House of Culture and shouted at the two Communistas "What do you
want here? go to hell e!' When they told him that they had come to Join
the artistic self-entertainment group, he became very sarcastic: "We
have quite a good coUeotive? we do not want artists like you." The
director of the House of Culture supported Tyutkalo in his stupid talk.
When Shtanko and Kraenevska decided to leave, Tyutkalo said: *Good-bye..
This is that I wanted"
The Bolsheviks make all sorts of efforts to organize cultural life in the
villages, but they meet with no success. The population'does not visit
the club or cinema, does not read books from the library, and not one of
the local youths agrees to become the head of the clubs.
42. C u?rch,jnndd Religions Activity

The priests who have not gone over to, the Russian Orthodox Church are still
in the villages of Vytvytsya, Knyazholuka, Sloboda, and Tanyava. They are
not allowed to officiate.. In duly 1949 a Russian Orthodox priest arrived in
the village of &alekhov. He was warning the population not to attend,servicss
in Hoshiv. He has changed the church service somewhat and the population
boycotts him and does not attend church when he in there. Only a few of the
re-settlers from behind the Curaon Line visit the church. The same priest
held a service in the village of Dolzhtsi in the presence of five persons; the
rest did not come because the priest was Russian Orthodox,, This incident
demonstrates the attitude of the population towards the Orthodox Church. 'The
population often visits the monastery in the village of Hoshiv and on Sundays
visits the churches and holds prayers under the guidance of deacons.
430 ' lie,_T.ntra Part, y Life
There are no Party members from the local population. There are members of the
Komsomol in the raion center, primarily easterners or those who were forced to
join, The same applies to the local teachers and teachers from the SUZO The
secretary of the RK LKSMU 5IM , during a conference of teachers, criticized
the teachers for a lack of cultural activity, saying that all teachers are
members of the Komsomol, but their conduct is not Komsomol-like. He said
that it was time to end being afraid of the Banderovtei.(No detailed material
is available concerning Party conferences and Party life
44. Propaganda -and ,itation
The Bolsheviks distribute about 48,000 newspapers, magazines, and brochures
per month in the raion, including from 10,000 to 129000 copies of the raion
newspaper,
The meetings,which the Bolsheviks organized in the villages were primarily
concerned with the delivery of grain quotas, There were about ten such
meetings,,during which the Bolsheviks appealed to the peasants to deliver
100 percent of their quotas as soon as possible,
On $ August, in the village of
Ukrainian revolutionary ~ve~aent~ Be said
during which he besmirched th
that the-Banderovtsi are sheltered in the forests, where they have the best
food, which they take from the peasants,, whom they incite to refuse to aeliver
even one grain of corn to the government, hoping thereby to speed up'the
coming of the warn He said that the Soviet Union is not afraid of war with
the United States,as all the working classes everywhere are behind the Soviets.
Afterwards the Communist Levchenko said that the first duty of the peasants
is to obey the Soviet Government hard do everything which the Communist Party
and Stalin ask them to do.
On 20 August,.in the village of Choihany, the Secretary of the Raion Party
Committee, Topchiy.,who arrived with'a brigade to collect quotas, held a
meeting in the presence of 15 people. He spoke of the reasons why the
peasants resisted the Soviet Government and why. they refused to deliver that r
qucrtfif u He said: There is no need for you to be afraid any more. We have
killed K-,- and you need not be frightened of A-? and Y*.- You are just
the same bandits as they are - your children at school tear down our slogans
and replace them with the slogans of the Banderovtei. If you want independence, .
you win get it from us; we shall surround it with barbed wire and you can
live independently."
On 25 August, in the village of.Chol.hany.. Topchiy held another meeting concerning
the resettlement of the peasants in the Odessa district, He asked the
g
peasants to volunteer for the resettlement scheme9 promising to each family
500 krb travelling expenses and permission to take their property,
the buildings, to their new place by rail. Also, when they reach their
destination, they would receive a State loan of.5,000 krb for farm reconstruc-
tion. He also Appealed to the peasants to deliver the whole of their grain
quotas within three days and asked them to vote a resolution to this effect.
None of the peasants responded and Topchiy began to threaten them with Siberiaa\
He turned to one of the elders, Andrei Sinishin, and asked him why he did

not dome forward to vote for the resolution. Sinishin answered: "I shall
.not vote either for myself or others. Rudenko made a kulak out of me,
Apportioning 25 cwt, of quota to as which I cannot deliver. You may sentenoo
me or do what, you like to me, I do not care for such a life any longer."
.Tbpohiy received a similar answer from all the 15-people who were pfsent.
When'the poas+unts refused to deliver their quotas, Topcbiy said: "The
?banditag do itot leave you in peace; they want Fad to be imbeciles, that
is why they drive teachers and doctors out of your villages." The meeting
ended with more threats from Topchiy.
On 20 August s meeting was held in the village of Vytvytsya by the head of
the RVKb Haiychuk. The peasants protested against the heavy quotas and
Topehiy, with come Chekists, beat the fanners Y Y~ and K.,,,_?_<
The remainder cif the peasants escaped from the meetings Similar gatherings
were held in the villages-during the collection of ouotae. In the course
of such meetings there were threats for non-deli- of ouot s, attacks
against the Ukrainian insurgents attacks against llegibl insurgents,
and efforts to pin on to us collaboration with the Germans and Anglo-
Americans in order to alienate the masses of the people from us.
The moat intensive propaganda was conducted in the raion newspaper; it is
full of lies and falsehoods and the peasants only laugh at it: For instance
the Bolehevfk paper Bolshevik Tempo, dated 11 August, No. 64/4631 wrote
theta in the village of Cholhany, the club was rebuilt and opened for the use
of the villagers, but it was furnished with all necessities and became the
popular meeting place of the working masses. In reality, the club was re-
paired by 13 August and the "furniture" in it was-composed-of a table, four
ohaire,and two broken benches. The population of the village of Cholhany
did not even know what the-club looked like, since nobody ever-entered it.
The head of the club always brings the wireless set with him when he site
there with-the brigade,; and, when he leaves, he takes the set back again.
In a whispering campaign, the Bolsheviks continuously tell the peasants about
mass resettlement of whole villages, mass collectivization, etc.
45.0 ' Terror. Provocations and Justice
During the period reported on, the Bolsheviks organized searches of the woods
from which-they received information. From 15 to 100 Chekiata took part In
these searches and employed dogs to help them: they searched for trails, and
looked behind every bush. Such.raids took place on 12 and 17.Auguat-near the
village of Vytvytaya, on 19 August near the village of Tysiv;and on 21 August
near the'village of Bubnyehohe0 The operational twits also often searched
the woods,
The Ch?kists laid ambushes. in the daytime in the woods and at night near the
villages at the road crossings, There were more than 35-of such ambushes in
the raion. The Bolsheviks continue to murder people. During the period
reported on, the Bolsheviks killed two insurgents and six civilians, including
? girl, in the raion. They were: two young boys in hiding from the Fri
L in Russia, one girl bestially tortured as she was carrying food for her
brother hiding from the FZN, and another boy they tortured to death by sticking
a bayonet through him, having secured his hands with wire. He was found harvest-
ing his field near the forest.' They also killed a man and his wife in the, oar
as they were returning from the monastery of Hoshiv. All this was done by
the operational units of the Ch?ka, whose treatment of the Ukrainian population
can only be described as bestial.
There were many beatings and arrests by the Cheka in order to frighten.the
population and keep them from any collaboration with the insurgents. During
the,period reported on, there were many cases-of beating up the peasants be-
cause they did not deliver their quotas, or because they had nothing left
to deliver. One of the ways to frighten the. population is deportation.
During the period reported on, the Bolsheviks deported the families of the
Insurgents on 7 28, and 29 August from the villages of Cholhany, Bryaza,
Howiiv, Tysiv, and Rostiehky; a total of 20 families - 60 persons.

The Bolshevik* 'confiscated property belonging to people who were departed1
also of those familiee where a member is under sentence, and very often they
confiscated the'livestock belonging to those peasants who did not deliver
their quotas.
The Bolsheviks often make efforts to provoke the 1krainian population,
but they are not-successful since the population is well aware of their
tricks. During the period reported on, there were three specific cases
of provocation by mesa of which the Cheka hoped to establish contact
with the insurgents. For instance, on 20 August, in the woods near the village
of Tyeiv, the Cheka caught farmer F and, pretending to be ineuzgsnt$,
asked him to put them in toulth with D._.. or other insurgents.
Courts are often in session and'they are busy with cases of alleged eoUabora
tion with the Ukrainian'revolutionary underground. The most lenient sentence
is from 10 to 25 years of prison. During the period reported on, the Bolsheviks
sentenced three peasants from the village-of Hoziiv to 6 to 15 years exile to
Siberia, two of them members of the kolkhoz, for reluctance to work in the
kolkhoz and-for harvesting on their own fields which were apportioned to some-
one else, and one woman, not a member of the kolkhoz, who was found taking
away some hay for her cow from a kolkhoz fields
Col nizgtiQ of Our Lands by -Y Foreigners
There was no influx of foreigners into our raion during the period reported
on. The foreigners who live. in the raion center are primarily hussiane who
have lived there since the last war and who occupy key positions and manage the
life of the raion.

4716 Attitude Tbward the Bolsheviks and Reasons For It
The attitude of the population towards the Bolsheviks is hostile because they
pillage the population by means of taxation and quotas, etc. They use
terroristic methods towards the people, destroying the Ukrainians physicall-v
by means of deportation, murders. arrests, and heavy sentenaea,
The population obeys the orders and instructions only because they are afraid
of confiscation of property and exile. The military mobilization orders are
not fully obeyed by them. For instance, the call up to the Red Army of the
1929 class was ignored by 40 percent of recruits from the raion, who were
evading it by hook or by crook and were in hiding. Many of the young men who
were forcibly taken to FZN managed to escape from the Donbas and are in
hiding.
Bolshevik agitation, terror, and provocation have only a temporary influence;
the population soon shakes it off and is even more hostile towards them,
Through heavy taxation and quotas the population goes about in rags, barefoot,
and hungry. I order to earn sufficient money for taxes and food they are
forced to do forestry work (primarily in the mountain villages).
The cultural, educational, and scientific level of the population is not very
high, since the Bolsheviks are not keen' to develop Ukrainian culture. The
standard of education is slightly higher. The young people from villages
get secondary education and some are even university students. host of the
youth try to obtain a secondary education.,

or visit dixieaias, etc o
The health conditions are average. There are no cases of infectious illnesses
or excessive mortality. As an illustration, we give the following statistilas
on mortality and the birth rate from a few, of the villages:

number of the population in the villages of Cholhany, Hoziiv, Hoahiv, Herynya,
and Pidberesh whereas, in the remainder of the villages, the total number of
the population includes everybody.)
There is very little venereal disease in the raiono The individual cases
are eitheer.all owed or in process of being cured.
ldeologioa1 Moral State and National Consciousness
The ideological and moral state is quite good and national consciousness well
developed among the population, which does not drink or revel.and does not join
any Bolshevik organization. In spite of terror, the population does not demolish
the graves of the heroes, although the Cheka force them to do so; on the con-
trary, the population keeps the graves in good order and decorates them with,
flowers. For instance, on 5 August, in the village of Cholhany, H ...p who
refused to demolish the grave which was dug in the field where an insurgent
was'killedgwas Beverly beaten.
The population holds the church in great respect and visit it even though
there is no priest there. The peasants pay the tax for the church and help
the clergy materially.
Our ideas are well known to the population. Everybody knows that we are
fighting for a USSD 5Independent United Ukrainian State and they all help in
various ways. The population is friendly towards us as they see in us their
only hope.. One can often hear the peasants saying that if it were not for
the insurgents they would already have been in the kolkhoz and the.
Bolsheviks would organize the villages according to their own ideas,
The influence of our fight and our propaganda on the population is a.positive
one. We have the beat proof in the fact that this population keeps to our
instructions, does not drink or frequent any dancing places. Even weddings
are now celebrated without any music. The population is also greatly disc
turbed:by the losses suffered by the. revolutionary underground.
Our appeals for practical resistance are heeded by the population, as is proved
by the boycotting of the Bolshevik elections. Our national days are observed
by the whole population, nobody goes to.work on these daya,and the graves of
heroes are tended, although they are often demolished by the Bolsheviks.
Moat of the population counts not so much on our own strength, but on the
assistance of the western-powers.

No strata of the Ukrainian. population wishes to be isolated. Peasants,

activity; aU of them would join in the revolutionary armed fight against
the.eneiry, During a warp the whole population, in answer-'to our appeal,
would take up arms under the leadership of the Ukrainian revolutionary under-
ground. For further development of the organizational work among the popu-
lation of the raion, it is necessary to met them more frequently, to live
among them, and to keep them informed. The printed word has, not as such
influence as the living words and it is also difficult to distribute the
literature among the population, beca?ee of spies who are more and more amorous
in the raion. The population continuously asks us to destroy these spies, as
they are a great nuisance and prevent the population from collaborating
wholeheartedly with the. underground.
