Балада про
калинову віть
Раз хлопець віть калинову приніс
до хати
І витесав сопілку, щоб, як в
казці,
слова сирітки вбогої почути
І попливла мелодія незнана
без слів, без сліз,
але сумна, як чайки пісня на
бездоллі.
Це ж певне недарма легенда
гомонить,
що серце дівчини
у кетяги червоні перелилось.
І болотами, манівцями
через дебрі людського глуму,
пішов шукати
ту одну, єдину
в цілому світі калину.
А під калиною,
під тою ж бо єдиною,
дівчат і молодиць,
як мрій поводдя.
І кожна: хто кетягом червоним,
а хто листком
примаїлися.
І кожна казку ту одвічну знає
про край самотності і сопілчаний
жаль.
Ірина Стасів- Калинець (1940-2012 )
The Ballad of the Guelder-Rose Twig
Once a boy brought home a guelder-rose twig.
And he whittled a flute, so that, as in a fable,
he could hear the words of the poor little orphan.
And an unknown melody flowed,
without words, without tears,
yet sad as the song of a seagull in the grip of misfortune.
Surely it’s not for naught a legend has it
that a girl’s heart
has flowed into the clusters of red.
And through the swamps, the labyrinthine ways,
through the jungles of human derision,
he set out to seek
the guelder-rose,
the one, the only one in the world.
And ’neath that guelder-rose,
beneath that one and only,
girls and maidens,
like a flood of dreams.
And garlanded, each one,
be it with the cluster of red,
or with a leaf.
And each one knows the eternal fable
about the edge of loneliness and the flute’s lament.
Iryna Stasiv-Kalynets’ (1940-2012 )

Ihor Kalynets was born in Khodoriv, the son of an agronomist. His parents upheld Ukrainian cultural traditions. As a child, Kalynets
read banned literature in the Ukrainian language, and watched the mass deportations of the .lUkrainians by the communists. He graduated from Lviv University in 1961. He began writing in the 1950s, and his
first book of poetry was published in 1966. Because of censorship, the rest of
his works were published in the west in the Ukrainian language.
One of the main themes of Kalyntes' poetry is cultural
glorification. Much of his writing uses a vocabulary full of
cultural allusions. His work reflects his pride in Ukrainian culture and the
country's ancient pagan and early Christian heritage. In Kupalo's Fire (1966), Kalynets connects the country's folklore
and ancient traditions to modern, Soviet life. Most of his works do not contain
glaring political criticisms, rather unexpressed denunciation. He drew strong
influence from Bohdan Ihor Antonych, and dedicated one of his
poems to him. He also dedicated poems to various Ukrainian cultural icons,
includingTaras Shevchenko, filmmaker Alexander Dovzhenko, and composer Stanislav Liudkevych among others. He refused
to dedicate any poems to the Soviet leaders, breaking from the custom which was
typical among poets .
As a "Ukrainian bourgeois nationalist",
opposed to the policies of russification and general Soviet lawlessness, he was sentenced to nine years in
a labour camp and exile. His wife, Iryna, was
arrested in January 1972. Kalynets refused to cooperate with the KGB and began
behaving in a defiant manner.
In March 1971, the 24th Congress of the Communist Party of Ukraine denounced Kalynets'
poetry as "reprehensible", made worse by the fact that he allowed his
work to be published in the West. He was then indicted on the grounds that he
"issues a veiled appeal to struggle against the Soviet government", "calls
for a revival of the Uniate Church",
"covertly presents the idea that the Ukrainian people is oppressed by the
Soviet government", and "articulates a nationalist ideology, as well
as nostalgia for the past and for an
independent state". On 11 August 1972, he was arrested, and on 15 November
1972, he was convicted anti-Soviet activities by a closed court and sentenced
to six years in labour camps and three years in exile. He served out
his sentences in the Perm political labour camps, first at No.
35 at Vsechsvyatskaya, but he was then moved to No. 36 in the village
of Kutchino, Perm Region. While in prison, he took part in the resistance
movement. He was involved with hunger strikes, the writing of appeals and the
writing of chronicles of the two camps.
He was married to poet and fellow , Iryna Kalynets (died 31 July 2012, aged 72) who also
actively opposed the suppression of the Uniate Church and was a professor of Ukrainian language and literature at the Polytechnical Institute of Lviv. She was sentenced to six
years at hard labor.

Reading the text.
Blessed Tarsykiya Matskiv (Ukrainian: Тарсикія
Мацьків; 23 March 1919 - 17 July 1944) was a Ukrainian Greek Catholic nun and martyr.
The Servant of God Sr Tarsykia Matskiv was born on March,23 1919 in the village of Khodoriv, Lviv District.
On May,3 1938 she entered the Sister Servants of Mary
Immaculate. After professing her first vows on 5 November 1940, she worked in
her convent. Even prior to the Bolshevik arrival in Lviv, Sr Tarsykia made a
private oath to her spiritual director, Fr Volodymyr Kovalyk O.S.B.M., that she
would sacrifice her life for the conversion of Russia and for the good of the
Catholic Church. The Bolsheviks were determined to destroy the monastery. On
the morning of 17 July 1944 at 8 a.m., a Russian soldier rang the convent door.
When Sr Taryskia answered the door she was shot without warning and died. It was later said that she was shot simply "because she was a
nun".
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL
Blameless target
Catholics were not immune from
the violence of World War II. One courageous example of this was Blessed
Tarsykia Matskiv, a Ukrainian sister who was shot dead by a Soviet soldier
simply because of her faith.
She was the oldest of four children. Her faith was
strong from an early age; she was often in church and loved to pray.
At the age 19, despite her
mother’s wishes, Olha joined the Congregation of the Sisters Servants of Mary
Immaculate. She assumed her religious name of Tarsykia and in 1940 pronounced
her first vows.
In 1944, the Soviet Union
attacked the city where Sister Tarsykia was serving her mission. The
bombardment drove her and her fellow sisters to hide in the basement of their
novitiate.
Sister Tarsykia’s death came
just a day after the Soviet attack began. The hidden sisters, waiting for a
priest to arrive to celebrate a liturgy, heard their gate bell ring; Sister
Tarsykia went out to greet who she thought was the priest. Instead it was a
Soviet soldier, who shot and killed Sister Tarsykia. Her remains eventually
were returned to her hometown in 2007.
