30 years ago, on the night of January 22, 1973, blue-and-yellow flags appeared over the city of Chortkiv in the Ternopil region. An interrogated night watchman testified to the KGB: “In the evening I looked, and your flag was hanging. In the morning I looked, and it was our flag…”
They were raised by nine young men from the village of Rosokhach, who had united in a national-patriotic organization to continue the struggle for the independence of Ukraine. In addition to four flags, they posted 19 leaflets reminding the people—exhausted by a long struggle and lulled by a deceitful ideology—that 55 years earlier, the Central Rada had declared Ukraine an independent state with its Fourth Universal, and also protesting the latest wave of arrests of the Ukrainian intelligentsia.
