''Svoboda'' (in (ウクライナ語:«Свобода») — "Liberty"〔(«Svoboda» — "Liberty", newspaper №210, 10.09.1937 )〕) is the oldest existing Ukrainian newspaper and the most widely read in the Western world.〔Encyclopedia of Ukraine, Volume 5 , Volodymyr Kubiĭovych, Danylo Husar Struk (eds.), University of Toronto Press, 1993, p.128 ISBN 978-0-8020-3010-8〕 == History == ''Svoboda'' was founded in Jersey City, New Jersey〔(About this Newspaper: Svoboda ) - Chronicling America - The Library of Congress〕 on 11 September 1893 by Father Hryhoriii Hrushka. After its foundation in February 22, 1894, the Ukrainian National Association (UNA) adopted the newspaper as its organ. It became a bi-weekly newspaper on 1 March 1894, a tri-weekly on 8 August 1914, and a daily on 3 January 1921. ''Svoboda'' was an important 'mouthpiece" for Ukrainians in North America, and played an important role in the discussing and solving of immigrant difficulties. Prior to the establishment of Ukrainian-Canadian periodicals (for example the ''Kanadiiskyi Farmer'' ("Canadian Farmer")), it was the only Ukrainian-language newspaper of any note in Canada〔(Jaroslav Petryshyn, Luba Dzubak, ''Peasants in the Promised Land: Canada and the Ukrainians, 1891-1914'' James Lorimer & Company, 1985 ) pp.46, 87-88 ISBN 978-0-88862-925-8〕 and it was banned by this country during World War II for its pro-German sympathies. Ukrainians not only in the United States and Canada, but also in Brazil, Galicia, and Bukovyna, subscribed to it. It provided a channel of communication for those of the intelligentsia concerned with ''emigration'' of Ukrainian peasants and life in the New World.〔 The Ukrainian intelligentsia, through ''Svoboda'', sought to prepare the peasants for an improved lifestyle, and to offer advice in regard to breaking out of the peasant mold and to conform to the ideals of European civilization. Through a program of enlightenment, ''Svoboda'' promoted the establishment of Ukrainian schools, the learning of Ukrainian language and history.〔 At one time it had a circulation of approximately 18,000, the largest among Ukrainian papers in the West.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Svoboda (newspaper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
