  Volodymyr Vynnychenko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the Russian revolution in February 1917, Vynnychenko served as the head of the General Secretariat, a chief executive body in Ukraine.
Vynnychenko temporarily resigned his post in the General Secretariat, but in the midst of a political crisis in Ukraine that followed the October Revolution in Petrograd which overthrew the Provisional Government, quickly resumed his duties.
The revolt was successful and Vynnychenko returned to the capital on December 19, 1918, as the head of the Directorate, a five-member body with supreme legislative and executive power.

Vynnychenko Volodymyr Kyrylovych was born on July 28, 1880, in the village of Velyky Kut of Yelysavetgrad povit, Kherson province (Kirovograd region) into a peasant family.
Vynnychenko was one of few politicians who had his own position in extraordinary situations, he had his own vision of the prospects and how to orient oneself to achieve the main purpose – the state of Ukrainian people, the renewal of its national consciousness.
Vynnychenko stood for the expansion of the General Secretariat power to all the Ukraine provinces, for the cessation of hostilities in Kyiv, disbandment of the officer and voluntary detachments.

 Ukraine and Ukrainian Education & Research at BRAMA
Vynnychenko attempted to demonstrate by his heroes that those Nietzschean revolutionaries who had undergone an internal psychic revolution, would better serve the revolutionary cause.
Vynnychenko’s Nietzschean-revolutionary hero provoked controversy because of his applying Nietzsche’s demand for "a revaluation of all values" so dramatically and vividly.
By means of a perspectivist approach to moral valuation, borrowed from Nietzsche, and the inherent irony of the polyphonic structure of the novel, borrowed from Dostoevsky, Vynnychenko criticized the shortcomings of Marxist ideology.

Equally important was his contribution to maintaining interest in the West in Volodymyr Vynnychenko (1880-1951), writer and statesman, head of the Directory of the Ukrainian National Republic (1918-1919).

 ORANGE REVOLUTION :: Rebirth of a Nation
Its leaders, one of whom was the outstanding writer, publicist, and political and civic figure Volodymyr Kyrylovych Vynnychenko, faced the highly complex task of drawing bitter, inevitable lessons from the rich experience of the revolution, and by generalizing them to correct their vision of their country’s future.
Yet Vynnychenko’s three- volume work, perhaps like no other scholarly study devoted to this period, helps us fully and objectively picture not only the course of specific events but also the sentiments, mistakes, and illusions of different groups, classes, and parties in Ukrainian society of the time.
Moreover, as Vynnychenko himself pointed out, his work was being created at a time when “the future of Ukraine was enveloped in the smoke of bloody hatred, greedy encroachments from enemies, our helplessness and impotence” (July 1919).

 Slovo: Abstracts
Although Volodymyr Vynnychenko's highly acclaimed writings have drawn much attention, most scholars seem to neglect the specificity of the fact that he wrote the majority of his works beyond his homeland, Ukraine.
A new period of Vynnychenko's writings begins around 1906-1907, which refocussed the writer's interests from general depictions of the lower classes to a psychological analysis of the revolutionary intelligentsia.
Vynnychenko's thematic turn succeeds in demonstrating the challenge his characters face while living between two cultural spaces, a challenge that he himself had to confront as a temporary migrant before returning home in 1914.

Bilaniuk said that the paintings are being turned over to Ukraine in accordance with the wishes of Vynnychenko's widow, who stipulated in her will that his archives be transferred to Ukraine after it becomes a truly independent country.
The academy, through the work of its Vynnychenko Committee and its chairman Hryhoriy Kostiuk, has published a number of books from Vynnychenko's archives, which Dr. Bilaniuk presented to Prime Minister Yuschenko along with the statement of transferral of the art collection.
In a letter read by his son, Theodor Kostiuk, Hryhoriy Kostiuk expressed the hope that this initial and partial transfer to Ukraine of Vynnychenko's legacy is just the beginning of a process that will transfer the entire Vynnychenko archive, including his manuscripts, to the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences.

The entry of the Directory's peasant army into Kiev on 14 December 1918 marked the beginning of a short period of success for the Ukrainian nationalism of Semen Petliura and Volodymyr Vynnychenko.
Vynnychenko's democratic Ukrainian socialism might have been acceptable to the anarchists, at least for purposes of military alliance, had it not been for the opportunism and lack of a mandate of the self-proclaimed Directory.
In October 1918 the Russian communists had signed an agreement with Vynnychenko promising non-interference in the affairs of the Ukrainian republic.

One of the reputed authors of that idea, the prominent writer and statesman Volodymyr Vynnychenko, saw it as a means of separating Ukraine from both Poland and Russia in denominational terms. Wartime conditions did not permit the Directory fully to implement the autocephaly proclaimed by law, to say nothing of Vynnychenko’s more controversial ideas.
The death and burial of Patriarch Volodymyr served as an occasion for the UOCKP and the national-democratic organizations active in Ukrainian political life to demonstrate their opposition to the new presidential policy in no uncertain terms.
Thus was the grave of Patriarch Volodymyr put in order as a result of the reconciliation of former enemies, the revival of old political alliances, and a change in the orientation of presidential policy on questions of culture, nationality and religion.

One of the reputed authors of that idea, the prominent writer and statesman Volodymyr Vynnychenko, saw it as a means of separating Ukraine from both Poland and Russia in denominational terms.
In Kyiv this took the form of an alliance between the communist authorities and the hierarchy of the Ukrainian exarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), which joined forces in 1988‑90 to combat the renaissance of the Greek Catholic and Autocephalous churches.
In the latter half of the 1980s, during the administration of the first secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine, Volodymyr Shcherbytsky, the Kyiv authorities, sought to prevent the legalization of the Greek Catholic Church at all costs.

 The Great Famine-Genocide in Soviet Ukraine (Holodomor)
My friend and colleague, Stanislav Kulchytsky, deserves perhaps the greatest credit for first cracking open the door when he, at the time a loyal soldier of the Communist Party, persuaded the leadership of what was still Soviet Ukraine that so much was becoming known that something had to be said on the official level.
He persuaded then CPU First Secretary Volodymyr Shcherbytsky to include in his address of December 25, 1987, an admission that there had indeed been a famine in 1933 in some areas of Ukraine.
Kulchytsky was commissioned to write the questions in Silski visti (Village news) in a way intended to show how the Communist Party had tried to save people and make the best of a bad situation, but the address given for those to send their answers was Maniak's.
