A little from the story

UARP: yesterday, today and tomorrow

From the concept to creation

A LITTLE ABOUT HISTORY

 

How time flies! A group of enthusiasts seems recently to have gathered on the 30th of June 2000 to discuss the idea of foundation of non-traditional organization for the seniors that has never existed at the social sphere of society. What kind of organization will it be? How it should function? On what account should it be operated? How will it be funded? What should be its structure and its membership card?

 

All senior participants and one quite young shaper of this idea, an expert in economics, finance and history, Volodymyr Dzyobak agreed on the point, that that it should be nonpartisan public association that is to become specific act organization, something like a "retirees union", and could defend the interests of the elderly on the one hand, and fight for their rights by means of constructive work without placing barricades and arranging mass meetings on the other hand. The development of these activities and documents had to provide real protection of the rights of the elderly and improve their life quality.

 

The eldest participant was corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, General Manager of Kvazar Company, Lev Gassanov. It was he as famous scientist and engineer, eminent expert in computer science to be proposed to head the originating organization.

 

– “Oh, no”, - Lev G. Gassanov replied. –“You have to chase around much to get something. I am too old for that. Volodymyr, you hold all the cards: young, energetic and enterprising in addition. Exactly one is needed for the case. So go ahead! And the old guard is to help you”.

–“You’ve got my whole support! -Vladlen G. Shermarevych noticed. He was an experienced engineer and a talented scientist, a close friend and colleague of Gassanov.

–“We back it up!” -Larysa G. Skyba and Vycheslav S. Kulish took up.

 

The other participants of the meeting decided: here's top five to sign a registration application to the Ministry of Justice.

– “Let's ask Academician Mykola M. Amosov to join the cofounders of the organization.He is one of the wisest men among the elderly”- someone proposed.

–“The offer is reasonable,” -Vladlen G. Shermarevych noted. “But, unfortunately, he refused to join any political party or association”.

–“Do not worry, we can present the application without it”, - Gassanov responded. “But when will the association be registered, I am going to try to persuade MykolaAmosov to join us. I take it on myself”.

 

Application for the foundation of new public organization was signed and submitted for registration to the Ministry of Justice by five cofounders:

- Lev G. Gassanov;

- Vladlen G. Shermarevych;

- Volodymyr V. Dzyobak;

- Vyacheslav S. Kulish;

- Larysa G. Skyba.

 

Ukrainian public organization Ukrainian Association of Retired Persons (UARP) was registered on the 17th of October 2000, and the Ministry of Justice has issued a certificate No.1504. The time was not long in coming. As soon as the first decisive actions were taken, the fruitful results of the operation of the organization were noticed by Mykola Amosov, who made up his mind to join UARP. Lev Gassanov apparently might has found strong arguments for convinced nihilist to join Ukrainian Association of Retired Persons.

 

But one fact is the most striking. Looking through the application for UARP membership by academician Mykola M. Amosov, your attention could be drawn to his modesty:an outstanding person, world-famous surgeon, scientist and philosopher identified himself to be a pensioner, while filling in an application form.

 

His wise action is striking and sets everyone thinking. Whoever you may be: president, professor, scientist, top-ranking official, engineer, doctor, teacher, farmer or just a simple and humble man – all we are retired people in elderly age. And this is to be thought over long before...

Dzobak Volodymyr Dzobak Volodymyr РОЗДУМИ ПРО НАДВАЖЛИВЕ або ЧОМУ НАШІ ОЛІГАРХИ СТАЛИ МОГИЛЬЩИКАМИ НИНІШНЬОЇ УКРАЇНИ

Головним інструментом нинішніх олігархів є безправний люмпен, який живе на подачках від держави, на грані фізичного виживання. Ось чому значна частина пенсіонерів є найкращим їх електоратом, який і допомагає часто приводити до влади їх ставлеників. Для малого і середнього бізнесу сьогодні закриті економічні ліфти у цілих галузях економіки, бо з кожним роком сфери зацікавленості олігархії збільшуються, перекриваючи кисень усім іншим.
