The Sich Riflemen Halych-Bukovyna Kurin were one of the first regular military units of the Ukrainian People's Army. It was formed from Ukrainian soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army (hence the uniform), the local population, and former commanders of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen in Austria-Hungary.
A Hutsul-tile stove inside Ludwik Hirsch’s summer house in the Carpathian village of Pistyń / Пістинь. The photograph dates from 1930, colorized via MyHeritage.
Ludwik Hirsch (1860-1952), a distant uncle of mine, was a High Counselor of the Treasury in Lwów / Lviv. Ludwik and his wife spent winters in Lwów and summers in their house in Pistyń. The house was decorated in the Hutsul style as Ludwik collected their handicrafts. His collection was so grand that Dr. Apolinary Tarnawski sent the patients he was treating in his Kosów / Kosiv sanatorium to Ludwik’s house to see the authentic Hutsul crafts. Famous people, such as writer Ferdynand Ossendowski, painter Kazimierz Sichulski, and actress Hanka Ordonówna, also visited the Pistyń house.

THE GODMOTHER OF MODERN ROMANIA. No woman's actions in the entire history of Romania ever had more importance than those of Queen Marie (1875-1938). She is to be credited greater than any other human alone for Romania gaining Transylvania as part of its teritorry, as it was her diplomatic skill, determination, power of persuasion and love for her country that has tilted the balance in favor of Romania during the Treaty of Paris and Trianon, when the political games played by world powers and political diplomats carved and redraw the map of Europe to almost exactly what it is today. Queen Marie was a powerful figure who took on her role spectacularly surpasing her husband the King in popularity amongst citizens and even soldiers. She was traveling along with the Romanian Army servingas a nurse and support. She was immensely respected and dubbed "Mother Of The Wounded" or "Soldier Queen". She was born into British royalty, as Princess of Edinburgh, grandaughter of both Queen Victoria and Czar Alexander II. Her parents were Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia. Because of her merits the Romanian nation has a solid cult for her, rejuvenated after the communist era. Statues of her stand in many important cities such as Bucharest, Oradea, Giurgiu or Alba Iulia. The public photos portrayed her as a very statuesque royalty looking like a silent movie era star usually, dressed in either Byzantine regalia or Romanian rural fashion, set in a glamorous Art Deco room or a country cottage.
