In 1927, he joined the Ukrainian Military Organization's Supreme Command and contributed significantly to the formation of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) in 1929. Martynets lived in Paris during the 1930s, editing "Ukraïns'ke slovo." In Lviv, he led the OUN (Melnyk faction) and was later imprisoned in the Brätz concentration camp by the Germans.

Illustrated wrappers. First Edition. An important collection of 432 issues of the Ukrainian satirical magazine Lys Mykyta, meticulously curated and published by Edward Kozak in the United States between 1950 and 1991. This collection is particularly notable for including numerous issues from the magazine's formative years in the US, offering a rich repository for scholars and collectors alike. Each magazine issue, spanning 6-10 pages, is in Ukrainian and embellished with illustrations, reflecting the magazine's commitment to striking visual satire. The collection's physical condition is generally very good, despite evidence of use such as occasional wear to the wrappers, punched holes, and "duplicate" stamps, which attest to the historical journey and the tangible legacy of these publications. Edward Kozak, known as EKO (1902-1992), the visionary behind Lys Mykyta, was a multifaceted artist: a painter, illustrator, caricaturist, writer-humorist, satirist, editor, and a leader within the civic realm. Originating from the village of Hirne in the Stryi district, Kozak pursued his education in the arts across Vienna, Lublin, and Lviv, ultimately studying at the Oleksa Novakivskyi Art School. His contributions to Ukrainian satirical and humorous periodicals during the pre-World War II era marked the beginning of a prolific career that would extend into the realms of book illustration and the foundational work in the development of Ukrainian comics. Lys Mykyta emerged in 1947 within a Munich camp for displaced persons, later relocating to New York and subsequently to Detroit, where it was published from November 1, 1951. The publication's schedule evolved over the years from semi-monthly to monthly, and finally, to quarterly editions. Lys Mykyta served as more than just a magazine; it functioned as a platform with the aim of galvanizing the Ukrainian diaspora. Its mission was to unite Ukrainians worldwide by creating a shared intellectual and spiritual space. Kozak's initial forays into the world of satirical journalism, with contributions to magazines like Zyz [Cross-Eye], Komar [Mosquito], and Nash dzvinochok [Our Little Bell], laid the groundwork for the distinctive voice and style of Lys Mykyta. Throughout its run, the magazine maintained a steadfast commitment to its editorial agenda and aesthetic vision, marked by vibrant covers, penetrating commentary, and a creative reimagining of conventional periodical formats. The integration of various artistic influences, including socialist realism, Soviet caricature, modernist photo collages, and Ukrainian folk art, contributed to a rich visual and textual discourse that resonated deeply within the Ukrainian emigre community. This archive not only signifies Edward Kozak's substantial legacy within satirical journalism and his pioneering role in Ukrainian comic art but also encapsulates a critical period in the cultural and political dialogue of the Ukrainian diaspora throughout the latter half of the 20th century. It presents an invaluable resource for academic study, offering insights into the dynamics of cultural expression, political satire, and the preservation of national identity amidst the challenges of displacement and emigration.

Great Ukrainian satire of the Cold War --- An important run of this striking Ukrainian emigre satirical magazine, remarkable for its Cold-War caricatures covering more than 20 years. Published by Edward Kozak (190292, also EKO), who was also its principal caricaturist and cartoonist. He first worked for the Lviv-based satirical and humor magazines Zyz [Cross-Eye] (1927-33), Komar [Mosquito] (1933-39), and Nash dzvinochok [Our Little Bell] (1932-39), while consistently illustrating serial publications. In 1944, Kozak emigrated to Germany, where he headed an organization of Ukrainian émigré artists, active in Munich in 1947-48, the USOM (Ukrainian Association of Artists, or Ukrainska spilka obrazotvorchykh mysttsiv). Kozak began publishing Lys Mykyta as his own satirical magazine in a camp for displaced persons (DP) in Munich in 1948. The magazine's name was taken from Ivan Franko's popular book of fables about a witty fox. When Kozak emigrated to the United States with the painter Liuboslav Hutsaliuk (1923-2003), another regular contributor and a pupil of Kozak, he resumed publication of his magazine in Detroit in November 1951. It first was published semi monthly (1951- 56), then monthly (1957-88) and later quarterly (1989-91). Hutsaliuk's satirical cartoons and caricatures first appeared in Lys Mykyta in 1954. In the 1970s, both artists were cited amongst the best known of Ukrainian painters living in the United States. Lys Mykyta intended to acknowledge Ukrainian national liberation movement and aimed at ''mobilizing the national spirit of all the Ukrainians in forced emigration all over the world. [] The magazine was strikingly powerful its best political satires and jokes spread rapidly in various Ukrainian locations in the US, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, and the European continent" (Yatsiv 2017). Among the main targets of the magazine were internal Ukrainian affairs, the Soviets' Russification of Ukraine, Soviet propaganda and absence of freedom in the USSR, current international conflicts, political leaders of all countries and capitalism in general. Throughout its long history from 1948 to 1991, Lys Mykyta's agenda and design remained mostly unchanged, with striking colourful covers, punchy comments and clever deconstructions of the standard structure of periodicals, such as advertisements, letters to editors and horoscopes. While keeping their recognizable design, Kozak and Hutsaliuk still skillfully employed a wealth of other techniques and styles in their sketches referencing socialist realism, Soviet propaganda's caricatures on capitalism, modernist photo collages and Ukrainian folk imagery. Notable illustrations in these issues include: 1952, 15 February front cover: 'Europe the toreador at the attack of the red bull', EKO); back cover 'Stalin in front of the mirror [with Hitler as his reflection]' by M.D.); 1952, 20 March front cover: 'Stalin interrogated at court' by EKO. 1952, May front cover: Gulag prisoners marching in front of Politburo on the Red Square: 'Living has become happier', quoting Stalin. 1953, 10 March front cover: 'Panic in Hell' by EKO, marking Stalin's death on 5 March 1953. 1954, 25 March back cover: 'Concession of the Crimea to Ukraine' by EKO. 1955, 10 Sept front cover: 'The Soviet change their perspective on the US' by EKO. 1968, November front cover: caricature comparing the Soviet war in Czechoslovakia and the US war in Vietnam by EKO. 1969, September front cover: 'When pastors consort with wolves', depicting Christian Orthodox and Catholic priests. 1972, September front cover: a caricature on the USSR finishing first in the Olympic Games 1972. This group also includes one of the earliest publications of Lys Mykyta, when Kozak was still in Germany: a yearly supplement to the magazine, Lys Mykyta 1949 calendar, much thicker and richer than single issues, containing in particular a bold caricature of Stalin and humorous political horoscopes for each month of the year.
