UKRAINIAN ANTHEM

THE UKRAINIAN ANTHEM, "UKRAINE HAS NOT YET PERISHED"
(SHCHE NE VMERLA UKRAINA) WAS ORIGINALLY A POEM. IT WAS
LATER ARRANGED TO MUSIC. IN THE ANTHEM, UKRAINIANS VOW
TO LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR FREEDOM. LIKE ALL ANTHEMS,
IT IS SUNG BEFORE SPORTS EVENTS, AT CONCERTS, AT BANQUETS
AND IN UKRAINIAN SCHOOLS.
