Early life

Stachiw was born on 30 November 1895 in Nyshche, which was then part of Austria-Hungary.[1] He was born into a rural Galician family.[1] He served in the Ukrainian Army between 1918 and 1920. Afterwards received a LL.D. from the University of Prague. He worked as a lawyer in Lviv, university teacher at the people's university "Samoosvita" and editor of several publications.[2][1] For example, he edited the party publications of Hromadskyi holos, Proty khvyl’, and Zhyve slovo.[1]

Stachiw represented the Ukrainian Socialist-Radical Party in the Executive Committee of the Labour and Socialist International between August 1931 and 1940.[3] Previous to this, he had been party secretary of the Ukrainian Socialist-Radical Part from 1925 to 1929.[1]

After the end of World War II, he emigrated to Germany as a postwar displaced person initially, where he co-founded the Ukrainian National Council and taught sociology and administrative law at institutions such as the Ukrainian Free University in Munich.[1] He then moved to the United States in 1949.[1] There, he was head of the Shevchenko Scientific Society for its United States branch and a member of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, the World Congress of Free Ukrainians, and the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee.[1][4] As of the early 1960s, Stachiw served as editor of the weekly newspaper Narodna Volya (issued from Scranton).[5]

He died on 2 June 1978 in either El Cajon or San Diego in California.[1][4]
