SYNOPSIS

The UCRDC depends on voluntary donations – both individual and institutional - for its financing.

It provides receipts for tax purposes.

This appears to be a truncated copy of Mariia Yevhenieva’s letter.  On a single, likely last page, Yevhenieva reproduces the court decision about the rehabilitation of her father, collective farmer Semen Yurchyshen. His death certificate shows that he was sentenced on November 23,1937 and died in prison on December 15, 1937. 

She compares people responsible for the death of her father to “fascists” and comments on the adverse effects that the death of her father had on her life.
