Volodymyr Bandurak (1915 - 1982) was a Ukrainian author, educator, and public activist - well known for his essays, short stories, and tales for children, although he arguably gained his biggest fame for his work on Lenin's visit to the Tatras. Initially, enthusiastically greeted by the Party, the story would later be ridiculed and dismissed for "containing too many fictional moments." The illustrator of the current book, Mykola Butovych (1895 - 1961), was a renowned Ukrainian graphic designer, artist, memoirist, and author. After serving in the Cossack Division of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UNR) and teaching in Nazi-occupied Lviv, he emigrated to the US in 1948, where he was a member of the Association of Ukrainian Artists in America, wrote memoirs and collections of epigrams, and participated in numerous art exhibitions.
