Tribute to Yaroslav Stetsko
Тhe subjugated nations have lost a great leader.
The Honourable Yaroslav Stetsko was an outstanding ideologue of liberation nationalism and a foremost strategist of the national liberation struggle of these nations. His selfless love of liberty and his courageous struggle for the national independence of Ukraine against the twin tyrannies of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia during World War II illustrates, above all, that the freedom of all peoples is indivisible and that the human spirit is indeed unbreakable.
Yaroslav Stetsko was a patriot for all seasons. He, more than anyone else, exemplified the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson: “Patriotism is not an outburst of emotion, but a lifetime of continuous dedication.”
His dedication to liberty will serve as a continuing source of inspiration to all those who are striving for liberty, national independence, civil and human rights throughout the world.
