UNVEILED HISTORY

Shevchenko in Washington. The Struggle for Values

The process of erecting a monument to Taras Shevchenko in Washington in 1964 on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of his birth lasted several years and gained considerable resonance in the foreign press. At the same time, the kgb of the Ukrainian ssr’s activities around that event have not yet been made public. Declassified documents from the archives of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine now allow us to see how the kremlin leadership, American political circles, and the Ukrainian diaspora acted in those circumstances and what position they took.
