Wasyl Ayna's fight against Russian propaganda in America
Wasyl Ayna, a 34 year old lathe operator at General Motors Brown Lipe Cnapin division in Lorain, plans to contribute to combatting communist propaganda while keeping his family behind the Iron Curtain safe. Born in Ukraine, he came to the U.S. in 1950 with wife Anastasia and two sons after fleeing a Soviet regime that labeled farmers as rich. The family lived in a DP camp in Germany for two years before joining a Maryland sponsorship, then moved to Lorain. Ayna plans to relate his experiences under communism in a forthcoming book, drawing on the experiences of Ukrainians formerly interned in Russian camps and published by SUZERO in Toronto. He notes his father’s eight hectares of land and a modest four-room home with limited resources would not qualify as rich under Soviet criteria.
