Thanks to Oleksa Novakivsky or Olexa Novakivskyi, Олекса Новаківський, a famous Ukrainian painter and educator.
Novakivsky, Oleksa [Novakivs'kyj], b 14 March 1872 in Slobodo-Obodivka (now Nova Obodivka), Olhopil county, Podilia gubernia,now Vinnytsya Region, d 29 August 1935 in Lviv. He studied painting under F. Klymenko in Odesa (1888--92) and at the Cracow Academy of Fine Arts (1892--3, 1895--1900). After graduating with a gold medal he lived in Mogiła (now Nowa Huta), near Cracow, where he devoted himself to landscape painting. Having attracted Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky as his patron he moved to Lviv in 1913 and founded the Novakivsky Art School there in 1923. Solo exhibitions of his works were held in Cracow in 1911 and in Lviv in 1920 and 1921. Novakivsky also exhibited at shows of the Society for the Advancement of Ruthenian Art, the Society of Friends of Ukrainian Scholarship, Literature, and Art, the Association of Independent Ukrainian Artists, and his school. During his Cracow period he painted portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and genre scenes in a naturalistic, impressionist style that resembled that of Polish contemporaries, such as Jan Stanisławski, J. Malczewski, and Stanisław Wyspiański. During his early Lviv period his style evolved under the impact of the First World War to become more symbolic and expressionist, as in works such as The War Madonna (1916), St. George's Cathedral (1916), and Self-Caricature (1919). He did many portraits, including ones of Metropolitan Sheptytsky (Metropolitan Sheptytsky,, 1924), Moses, Prince Yaroslav the Wise, Prince Yaroslav Osmomysl, Oleksa Dovbush, and Oleksander Barvinsky. In the 1920s his colors grew more vivid, and his lines more dynamic. Landscapes such as St. George's Cathedral (1921--2), Fairy Tale about the Hutsul Region (1927), and Mount Grehit (1934), the canvas Moloch of War (1919), his self-portraits (such as Self-portrait, 1918), and portraits such as Dovbush (1931) and O. Barvinsky (1932) are fully expressionist in style. Novakivsky's oeuvre consists of over 500 oils, many of them unfinished. A memorial museum dedicated to him and his works was opened in Lviv in 1972.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ukrainian–Soviet War (Ukrainian: Українсько-радянська війна) is the term commonly used in post-Soviet Ukraine for the events taking place between 1917–21, nowadays regarded essentially as a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic and the Bolsheviks. The war ensued soon after the October Revolution when Lenin dispatched the Antonov's expeditionary group to Ukraine and Southern Russia. Soviet historical tradition viewed it as an occupation of Ukraine by military forces of Western and Central Europe, including the Polish Republic's military – the Bolshevik victory constituting Ukraine's liberation from these forces. Conversely, modern Ukrainian historians consider it a failed War of Independence by the Ukrainian People's Republic against the Russian Soviet Republic, ending with Ukraine falling under a Russian-Soviet occupation.
