Ukrainian pysanka is in fashion with the United Nations

Pysanka Demo at Ukrainian Museum

Dr. Natalia Sergeyeva, wife of the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the United Nations, partnered with the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA) to host the fourth annual luncheon for the UN Ambassadors’ Wives Club on Tuesday, April 24, at The Ukrainian Museum in New York. This year’s event included the traditional “Festival of the Pysanka” and the exhibition “Ukrainian Kilims: Journey of a Heritage,” followed by a buffet reception featuring Ukrainian cuisine.

The partnership between the UNWLA and Dr. Sergeyeva is a M. Zajac with N. Sergeyeva natural one: the UNWLA works to unite women of Ukrainian descent and those affiliated with the Ukrainian community, while Dr. Sergeyeva has worked tirelessly to advance Ukrainian culture within the UN Ambassadors’ Wives Club. Together they united to promote Ukrainian culture by introducing international guests to the customs and traditions of Ukraine.

UNWLA President Shares her Thoughts, Views and News for May, 2012

We received the sad news of Atena Pashko’s death by email in the early morning of March 21st. Atena Vasylivna Pashko passed away in the evening of March 20th at the age of 81. A chemical engineer, a poet, and an activist in the Ukrainian civil rights movement, Atena Pashko had been the target of the Soviet regime's administrative repressions. In 1991, she was elected President of the re-established Ukrainian Women’s League of Ukraine (UWLU). In 1999, as the widow of Viacheslav Chornovil, she became President of the International Charitable Fund established in his memory. In 1997, Atena Pashko was awarded the Order of Princess Olha, 3rd class, followed by the Order of Liberty in 2010. Since Ukraine’s independence, Atena Pashko had been the driving force of the contemporary Ukrainian women’s movement.
