Biographical / Historical
Pavlo Krat (1882-1952) was a civic leader, church activist, poet, and editor from Lubny, Eastern Ukraine. From 1901 to 1904, he was a member of the Ukrainian Revolutionary Party (RUP) and served as co-editor of the publications Selianyn (Peasant) and Pravda (Truth). As a student in Lviv (1906-1907), Krat was actively involved in the movement advocating for the establishment of a Ukrainian university. In 1907, he emigrated to Canada, where he became a pastor of the Ukrainian Evangelical Church in 1918. Between 1923 and 1938, he frequently visited Western Ukraine and became a founding member of the Evangelical-Reformed Church. In 1922, Krat edited and published Vira ta Znannia (Faith and Knowledge) in Toronto, a journal addressing religious and civic matters. Pavlo Krat passed away in Toronto in 1952.
