Ukrainian Emigration in the Struggle for Ukrainian Broadcasts of “Voice Of America”: the 1940–1950s
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The article is based on the materials studied by the author in Taras Shevchenko Library Archives of the Union of Ukrainians in Great Britain. It focuses on well-planned and organized actions of Ukrainians of the Western diaspora related to their longterm efforts to launch the Ukrainian edition under “Voice of America” radio station and exercise the rights of Ukrainians for receiving truthful information about the situation in the world and in sub-Soviet Ukraine in their native language.The prerequisites, forms, and methods of conducting the public action “The Ukrainian Radio Movement”, which began in Ulm, Germany, under the leadership of the well-known publicist Ivan Bahrianyi, and spread to Ukrainian centers in the United Kingdom, France, USA, and Canada, are analyzed. The article is based on the rare prints of newspapers “Ukrainski Visti” (Ulm) and “Ukrainska Dumka” (London), the evolution of this initiative traced down to its positive outcome.The information about the first “Voice of America” broadcast in Ukrainian, published in “The New York Herald Tribune” (November 23, 1949), is translated into Ukrainian. A review of the protests of the “Russian World” adherents against Ukrainian-language broadcasts of the global radio, published on the pages of the Russian emigration body in Paris, “Russkaya Mysl” , is conducted.Separately, the article dwells on the establishment of public control over the content of radio programs by the members of representative organizations of the Ukrainian diaspora. The necessity of such an initiative was caused by the fact that at the initial stage, the content produced by the Ukrainian editorial staff was untruthful in terms of the Ukrainian history.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
