Tymofei Koreichuk (c. 1879 – October, 1919) was a prominent peasant politician in Galicia and Bukovina (now Ukraine) who became an early Ukrainian Canadian labour leader. Koreichuk was born in Kitsman county in Austria-Hungary. In young adulthood, he formed a local branch of the Sich Society, an organization that promoted physical education and national consciousness. He formed the Bukovynian section of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party. Under this party, he ran in the Bukovynian Diet in 1911. Koreichuk emigrated to Canada, apparently in the spring of 1913. He was one of the most experienced labour organizers in North America from Ukraine and quickly became active in the Federation of Ukrainian Social Democrats (FUSD) in Montreal, Quebec. When the FUSD renamed itself the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party of Canada (USDPC) and moved its headquarters to Winnipeg, Manitoba in January 1914, Koreichuk followed. While working with the USDPC in Western Canada in the spring of 1915, he was interned with other unnaturalized Ukrainian workers in the Crowsnest Pass. On September 5, 1919, Koreichuck was arrested with making "seditious speeches". Still an unnaturalized Austro-Hungarian subject, he was sent to an internment camp in Vernon, British Columbia. After a few weeks, he died of tuberculosis. ==See also== * Ukrainian Canadian internment 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「Tymofei Koreichuk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
