Volume 5 of Volodymyr Vynnychenko’s diary is a unique primary source for the study of the life and thought of this major Ukrainian writer, playwright, and political figure as well as of the cultural climate of Eastern and Western Europe from 1932 to 1936. Living in exile in France (during that time period he moved with his wife from Paris to a small town of Mougins in Provence), Vynnychenko recorded his interaction with West European cultural figures, as well as his relations with the Ukrainian intelligentsia and émigré politicians. He also recorded news and his reflections about the dramatic events taking place in Soviet Ukraine, such as the Holodomor and Stalinist Terror. This volume also contains many of his theories and musings on political, cultural, and philosophical issues.

Also available from CIUS Press: volumes 1 (1911-20); 2 (1921-25); 3 (1926-28), and 4 (1929-31).

Co-published by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, the Institute of Literature of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in the U.S.A. Compiled and with the annotations by Olha Matveeva.
