Biographical / Historical

“Yevshan-Zillia” was a "samvydav" (Rus. "samizdat") typewritten illustrated literary and social almanac published by Ukrainian intellectuals in Lviv between 1987 to 1990. Among the authors and editors of the almanac were well-known L'viv intellectuals and dissidents, incluidng Iaroslav Dashkevych, Iulian Red'ko, Iryna and Ihor Kalynets', Mykhailo Osadchyi, Bohdan Horyn', Ivan Hrechko, Iaroslav Hnativ, and Roman Figol'. The almanacs were created on typewriters in 5 copies, one of which was left for further photocopying, while the remaining 4 copies were bound in hardcover and distributed in a narrow circle of L'viv intellectuals. Copies were sent abroad in various ways to the Ukrainian diaspora. The illustrative material was photographs and photocopies. Each issue was typically 300-350 typewritten pages. The editorial staff changed over time. Iryna Kalynets was responsible for the first 3 issues, Valentyn Stetsiuk for the 4th issue, Ihor Kalynets for the 5th issue, and Mykola Zharkykh for the 6th issue.
