Life

Jaroslaw Halan was born as the son of an employee in Dünow in what is now the Polish Subcarpathian Voivodeship . After the First World War , his father was deported to the Thalerhof internment camp because of his Russophile attitude . When an Austro-Hungarian offensive became apparent in May / June 1915, Halan's mother and her children were evacuated to Rostov-on-Don with the support of the Russian military administration , where Yaroslav attended school and experienced the October Revolution . After returning to his family in 1918, he visited in Przemysl , the Ukrainian high school and in 1922 the commercial college in Italian Trieste before 1922-1926 at the University of Vienna and in 1926 at the University of Jagiellonian in Krakow studied and in 1928 graduated. In his student days he joined the left movement and in 1924 joined the Communist Party of Western Ukraine ( Комуністична партія Західної України ). At the beginning of the 1920s, Halan, along with Vasyl Bobynskyj , was one of the organizers of the Ukrainian proletarian literary group Horno in Lviv and editor of the Sovietophile journal Wikna ( Вікна ). In 1936 he was one of the organizers of the anti-fascist intellectual congress in Lviv. Because of his communist activities, he was under police surveillance in the Second Polish Republic and was arrested twice in the mid-1930s. After the occupation of Western Ukraine, he worked as a correspondent for the newspapers Free Ukraine (1939–1941), True Ukraine and Soviet Ukraine (1942–1948) in Lviv. During the Second World War , he worked as a radio commentator in Saratov in 1942 and in Moscow in 1943, as well as at the front mobile radio station Dnipro . From November 1945 to April 1946 he worked as a special correspondent for the newspaper Soviet Ukraine at the Nuremberg Trial . In the post-war years he campaigned for the Russification of Lviv and for the objective recording of the history of the Communist Party of Western Ukraine. His pro-Soviet activities led Ukrainian nationalists to assassinate him on October 24, 1949 in his Lviv office. The attackers were tracked down by KGB agent Bogdan Staschinski , who later also killed Lew Rebet and Stepan Bandera . Halan was buried in the Lychakiv Cemetery in Lviv. The Soviet regime effectively used his life and death to fight Ukrainian bourgeois nationalism .
