Volodymyr Kubijovyč (1900–1985)
Born 1900 CE, died 1985 CE.
Volodymyr Kubijovyč (also spelled Kubiiovych or Kubiyovych; Ukrainian: Володи́мир Миха́йлович Кубійо́вич, romanized: Volodymyr Mykhailovych Kubiiovych; Russian: Влади́мир Миха́йлович Кубийо́вич; Polish: Włodzimierz Kubijowicz; 23 September 1900 – 2 November 1985) was a well-known anthropological geographer in prewar Polish-ruled Western Ukraine, a leading wartime Ukrainian nationalist politician who collaborated with German authorities, and an important post-war émigré intellectual of mixed Ukrainian-Polish background. Kubijovyč, like many other Ukrainians, had experienced ethnic discrimination in the Second Polish Republic, a background that influenced his perception of Germany as a counterpart in matters of Ukrainian political aspirations. During the World War II, he became head of the Ukrainian Central Committee (UCC) in Kraków, a nonpolitical, but influential social welfare and relief agency, which set up a network of Ukrainian cooperatives, schools, and youth organizations in the General Government.
