Dontsov, D.

Pidstavy Nashoi Polityky (Basis of Our Politics)

New York, Organizatsiia Oborony Chotyrokh Svobid Ukrainy, 1957. Uniform edition (first published in 1921 in Vienna); 8 3/4 x 5 3/4; pp. [4], 5-210, [2]; burgundy leatherette over boards, with title embossed in gilt; minor rubbing to tips of spine and corners; very light wear to boards; very good or better condition. Dmytro Dontsov (1883 - 1973) was a Ukrainian author, journalist, and a radical political thinker with great influence over the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. Born in a Cossack officer's family, Dontsov joined the Ukrainian Social-Democratic Labor Party in 1905, was arrested shortly after for being an instigator in "Socialist politics," and was forced to move to Vienna in 1909. After the Revolution, he returned home and was appointed Head of Pavlo Skoropadsky's Government's official news agency. By 1922 Dmytro had rejected the Socialist ideas of his youth and had increasingly become immersed in radical Nationalism. In 1939, right before the takeover of Western Ukraine by the Soviets Dontsov fled his country for Bucharest, then Prague, Germany, Paris, and the United States until he finally settled in Toronto where he taught Ukrainian literature at Universite de Montreal. In his current work, among other things, Dontsov floated the idea of leaving Galicia to Poland, not because he particularly cared for the Poles, but because he was convinced that surrendering the land to Poland would strengthen its union with Ukraine against their mutual enemy, ie. Russia. He would eventually abandon the thought and would consider Poland an outpost of the Soviet Union. Very good .
