In Memoriam

(In remembrance of those who contributed to the foundation of UARP)

 

Exactly the makers of the history, whose names probably would not be added to the text-books, are the people who had been acting in defence of the rights of the elderly in Ukraine. Each of them had a difficult fate. Much work had been performed. A great deal of activities was to be mastered at their age. How much work is done! How many people recollect their names with love and respect...  And the gratitude of those, whom they were eager to provide worthy life in the autumn of life, is measured to millions. Exactly it is measured to millions. Because the number of Ukrainian pensioners makes up about 13.7 million people.

 

It goes about the founders and active members of Ukrainian Association of Retired Persons, and namely Lev G. Gassanov, Vladlen G. Shermarevych, Vasyl I. Bakushin, Pavlo E. Tishchenko. Spark of enthusiasm burst into flame with desire to help the elderly in Ukraine.

 

They have devoted their last years of life to the fruitful work of Ukrainian Association of Retired Persons. During that short period they managed to involve in this process exactly those people, who were worried about the problems of senior citizens. In common with other founders they were able to create a powerful organization, which has launched its activities in many regions of Ukraine.

 

Ukrainian Association of Retired Persons has been gaining around for 12 years. It helps the elderly and found acceptance even in Europe.

 

You’re no longer with us ... We are bowing our heads with gratitude of your blessed memory. We won’t desert our colours in spite of all the difficulties and oppressions provided by dull-witted small fry, and we will make every effort to improve the life quality of the grey-haired generation. We are a force being kept only together.


We remember all of you! …

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.
