Most Australians know “Shevchenko” as a Ukrainian football player but Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861) was a vitally important figure in Ukrainian history, admired as a poet, writer, humanist thinker, and patriot who campaigned for Ukraine's national liberation. He also made significant contributions to Ukrainian art as a talented painter and graphic artist.

Taras Shevchenko's writings formed the foundation for the modern Ukrainian literature to a degree that he is also considered the founder of the modern written Ukrainian language.

For his revolutionary poems which were circulated in manuscript copies, Shevchenko was sentenced to exile as a private in the Orenburg Field Battalion.

Approving the verdict, Tsar Nicholas I added with his own hand: "Under strictest surveillance, with the prohibition to write and paint."

Eventually, exhausted, weakened and severely ill from the ordeals he had suffered in exile, in prisons and in Ukraine, Shevchenko passed away in St. Petersburg on the morning of March 10, 1861.

The poet was first buried at the Smolensk Cemetery in St. Petersburg. Fulfilling his wish to be buried in Ukraine, his friends transported his body by train, and then by horse-drawn carriage to his native land, arriving in Kyiv on May 18. On May 20 his remains travelled by steamship to Kaniv, Shevchenko’s final resting place by the Dnipro river.

“Last year, Russia thought that the Ukrainians would obediently bow their heads, but we did not submit. “ - Zelenskiy, 24 February, 2023

NOT A DATE FOR CELEBRATION - CHANGE THE DATE!

January 26 1788 is the day Sir Arthur Phillip raised the British flag at Warrane (Sydney Cove) to claim the land as a British Colony. This day marks the beginning of a long and brutal colonisation of people and land.

On 26 January each year people in Australia are asked to celebrate a national holiday, now called Australia Day. But Australia Day celebrations are not generally embraced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as some non-Indigenous people. For many First Nations people this day is recognised as Survival Day or Invasion Day. Because from this day in 1788 onwards, First Nations people suffered massacres, land theft, stolen children and widespread oppression at the hands of the colonising forces. Most Ukrainians, oppressed by the Soviet Regime would understand what it means when your land is stolen, your culture is attacked and your people suffer due to oppression.

Since the first Day of Mourning, many thousands of Australians gather each year to protest the celebration of 26 January. The scale of the protests grows yearly, as more and more people come to understand the true history of Australia, and what 26 January represents for First Nations community.

Не дата для святкування!

26 січня 1788 року сер Артур Філліп підняв британський прапор у Воррані (Сідней-Коув), щоб заявити, що ця земля стала британською колонією. Цей день знаменує початок тривалої і жорстокої колонізації людей і землі.

Щороку 26 січня жителів Австралії просять відзначати національне свято, яке тепер називається Днем Австралії. Але представникі перших націй, а також деякі некорінні жителі зазвичай не сприймають святкування Дня Австралії. Для багатьох представників перших націй цей день вважається Днем виживання або Днем вторгнення. Тому що з цього дня в 1788 році люди перших націй страждали від різанини, крадіжки землі, крадіжок дітей і широкого гніту з боку колонізаторів. Більшість українців, пригноблених радянським режимом, зрозуміли б, що означає, коли твою землю крадуть, на твою культуру нападають, а твій народ страждає через гноблення.

Починаючи з першого Дня скорботи, багато тисяч австралійців щороку збираються, щоб протестувати проти святкування 26 січня. Масштаби протестів зростають щороку, оскільки все більше людей починають розуміти справжню історію Австралії та те, що 26 січня являє собою для спільноти корінних націй.

UDIA визнає традиційних хранителів землі - представників перших націй, на якій ми працюємо та живемо. Ми віддаємо пошану старійшинам у минулому, теперішньому та новому.

Which Ukrainian dishes do you love the most?

Ukraine's 31st Independence Day on Aug. 24 also marks exactly six months of Russia's full-scale invasion.

This year, there were no celebrations, only a heightened alert for Russian attacks.

As Australian Ukrainian community has celebrated in various cities in states, here is how you can celebrate: Cook national dishes (borsch, holubtsi, varenyki), watch a Ukrainian film (Stop-Zemlya, My Thoughts Are Silent, The Earth is Blue as an Orange, Babushka of Chernobyl) or donate!

A diaspora is a population that is scattered across regions separate from their geographic place of origin. Historically, the term was used to refer to the mass dispersion of groups of people from their indigenous territories.

“The Australian Ukrainian community traces its foundation to the arrival of post-World War 2 refugees from war torn Europe. These refugees were termed Displaced Persons and began arriving in 1948… The incorporation of recently arrived Ukrainians into existing community structures is of high priority to the community.“ - Find out more on ozeukes.com website

VICTORY!

UNESCO has inscribed Ukraine’s Borshch soup on the global list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

This is an important victory in Ukraine's long fight to confirm its national identity in terms of culture, language and history. The decision was approved after a fast-track process prompted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the "negative impact on this tradition" caused by the war, UNESCO said.

Starting a business in Australia is quite simple. Most small businesses must register for ABN number and most humanitarian visas, once approved allow you to register. An ABN is a unique 11 digit number that identifies your business to the government and community. You can apply for an ABN and other key business registrations through the Business Registration Service

You can use an ABN to:
• identify your business to others when ordering and invoicing
• avoid pay as you go (PAYG) tax on payments you get
• claim goods and services tax (GST) credits
• get an Australian domain name for your website

Registering for ABN is free! Once your ABN is approved, create your social media pages, add your business to directories and create a website !

This season assembles six masterworks of Ukrainian cinema, all canonised by the Dovzhenko Centre (the Ukrainian national film archive in Kyiv) and includes three landmark titles from the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic era (1922–91) – all of which were at ideological odds with the official doctrines of their times – and three from the 21st century. Also included are remarkable “silent” films from both eras.” Check their event and let us know which movie you have decided to see!
