Radutskyi, and others; these translations were published in a special issue of the magazine devoted to Israel (no. 12, 1995), which included an excerpt from Moshe Shamir’s novel The King of Flesh and Blood [in Ukrainian, Tsar liuds’kyi]; Aharon Appelfeld’s novella Katerina; Yehudit Hendel’s novella A Story without an Address [in Ukrainian, Opovodannia bez adresy]; humorous stories by Ephraim Kishon; and articles by Wolf Moskovich and Dora Sowden on Ukrainian studies in Israel. There are also materials housed in the course of this issue’s preparation: a handwritten manuscript of D. Pavlychko’s Ukrainian translation of the Israeli national anthem “Hatikvah”; statements to Ukrainian readers by the foreign affairs ministers of Israel and Ukraine Shimon Peres and H. Y. Udovenko, and by the Israeli author Amos Oz (in connection with the publication of the Ukrainian translation of his novel Unto Death); and biographical materials on Amos Oz, in particular, information on his Ukrainian roots; correspondence of Vsesvit editor O. Y. Mykytenko with Amos Oz’s literary agent Deborah Owen and with the translator V. A. Radutskyi (letters of the latter also contain mention of preparations of an anthology of works by Israeli authors who had lived in Ukraine or written about it; and of a biography he had compiled of the Israeli national poet Rachel the Poet [Rakhel’ Bluvshtein], her Ukrainian roots and ties; etc.); O. Y. Mykytenko’s correspondence with other Israeli literary figures and scholars (B. Tamer; Ia. Liakh [Liakhovetskii]; V. Munblit; Wolf Moskovich; Kh.

- Administrative/biographical history:
- The magazine Vsesvit [Universe] was established in 1925 in Khar’kov, where it came out with varying periodicity until 1934. Originally it mainly published works of Ukrainian authors and a chronicle of overseas cultural and political life, as well as particular samples of fiction and poetry by foreign authors. It was closed in 1934 upon the transfer of the capital of Ukraine to Kiev. By order of the Ukrainian SSR Council of Ministers, the publication was restored in Kiev on 18 March 1958 as a press organ of the Union of Writers of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Society for Friendship and Cultural Ties with Foreign Countries (and from 1976 on, of the Ukrainian Committee to Defend Peace); it was now a monthly magazine of foreign literature. The magazine is currently published by the Vsesvit Publishing House and the National Union of Writers of Ukraine.
