[Cz-L] Mina's Storybook launch in Ukrainian

Hello again,

I have been following the discussion about Ruthenian, and I thought it would be timely to write with an update about the book launch of
Iсторія Міни/Mina's Story -- Ukrainian Edition Book Launch which took place on May 1st in Toronto.

There were two interesting academic talks presented which were very much on topic with issues of language, religion, geography and culture discussed on the Czernowitz list.

Prof. Frank Sysyn of the Ukrainian Studies Dept. at University of Toronto gave a lecture entitled: "Mina's Story and the vortex of twentieth-century Eastern Little Poland -- a historical background of the lands and peoples".
