The article examines the effect that the Cold War and the associated human rights violations in Soviet Ukraine had on the Ukrainian diaspora in North America. During the postwar years, a dislike and suspicion of the Soviet Union was common in much of the non-socialist Ukrainian diaspora in the west. Some organizations in the diaspora maintained group boundaries and helped their members sustain and express their ethnic identity by blending North American occupational or professional interests with Ukrainian interests. Soviet efforts at Russification and the associated denial of human rights did not go unchallenged in Soviet Ukraine. During the Second World War, the main forms of organized Ukrainian resistance to Soviet Russian rule came from the two branches of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and from the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. In the early 1960s, resistance to Russification and the denial of human rights began to take on a more public face in Soviet Ukraine. Various Soviet policies and practices began to be challenged publicly.
