''The Free Thought'', also known as ''Vil'na dumka'', ''Vilna Dumka'' and in (ウクライナ語:''Вільна думка''); is a weekly Ukrainian newspaper published in Australia since 1949.〔 〕〔(Gilson, M. Zubrzycki, J. (1967) ''The foreign-language press in Australia, 1848-1964'' Australian National University )〕 In addition to serving post-World War II immigrants and the second and third generations of those immigrants, the newspaper also caters to newer immigrants from post-Soviet Ukraine. It has sections in both Ukrainian and English. == History == A large group of Ukrainian immigrants arrived in Australia in 1948, 1949, and 1950 with the assistance of two-year work contracts offered by the Australian government. This was the impetus for the creation of two Ukrainian-language newspapers in Australia, one of which was ''The Free Thought''.〔 〕 Upon receiving the Federal Government's permission, the first edition was published on 10 July 1949.〔 Since then, the newspaper has had a role in reporting on the establishment and development of Ukrainian Australian cultural and social life.〔 In the 1980s, ''The Free Thought'' helped establish the Ukrainian Studies Foundations in Australia Ltd. to support Ukrainian studies at the university level. In 1994, ''The Free Thought'' joined with the Ukrainian Studies Foundation to publish a history called the ''Almanac of Ukrainian Life in Australia'' ISBN 9780908168040.〔Ukrainian Studies Foundation in Australia 1994, ''Alʹmanakh ukraïnsʹkoho chasopysu vilʹna dumka ta Fundatsiï ukraïnoznavchyk studiĭ v Australiï = Almanac of the free thought Ukrainian newspaper and the Ukrainian Studies Foundation in Australia'' The Free Thought Ukrainian Weekly in Australia and the Ukrainian Studies Foundation in Australia Ltd, Sydney (Libraries Australia ID (30403309 ))〕 Another book was published in 2001, this time with the Ukrainian Heritage Society in Australia, containing over 2000 biographies of Ukrainian Australians, titled ''Ukrainians in Australia: an Encyclopedic Guide'' ISBN 9780908168118.〔Shumsʹkyĭ, Volodymyr & Shumsʹkyĭ, Marko & Ukrainian Heritage Society in Australia & Free Thought Ukrainian Weekly in Australia 2001, Ukraïnt︠s︡y Avstraliï : ent︠s︡iklopedychnyĭ dovidnyk = ''Українці Австралії — Енциклопедичний Довідник'', Vilʹna Dumka i Tovaristvo Zberezhenni︠a︡ Ukraïnsʹkoĭ̈ Spadshchyny v Avstraliï, Sidneĭ (Libraries Australia ID (34684777 ))〕 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「The Free Thought」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
