Today, we honor the memory of Mykola Pavlushkov, the founder of the Ukrainian Youth Association (CYM).

A brave student activist and patriot, Pavlushkov stood firmly against Soviet oppression to organize Ukrainian youth in defense of truth and national identity. On November 3, 1937, he was executed in Sandarmokh alongside hundreds of Ukrainian intellectuals during the Stalinist repressions.

His legacy lives on through every generation of CYM members across the globe.

Eternal memory! Вічная пам’ять! Never Forget! Ніколи Забуваємо!

Сьогодні ми вшановуємо пам’ять Миколи Павлушкова - засновника Спілки Української Молоді (СУМ).

Сміливий студентський активіст та патріот, Павлушков рішуче протистояв радянському тиранічному режиму, згуртувавши українську молодь на захист правди й національної самобутності. 3 листопада 1937 року він був розстріляний у Сандармоху разом із сотнями діячів українського відродження під час сталінських репресій.

Його спадщина живе у кожному поколінні сумівців по всьому світу.

Eternal memory! Вічная пам’ять! Never Forget! Ніколи Забуваємо!

CYM Australia was honoured to be represented at an online video conference with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, alongside Ukrainian youth organisations from around the world. Two members of the CYM Australia National Executive, Markian Stefanychyn and Alina Khalak, were present at the meeting. The meeting provided an important opportunity for direct dialogue between Ukraine’s Foreign Minister and Ukrainian youth abroad, discussing our role in representing Ukraine’s interests, advocating for Ukraine in our countries of residence, working with Ukrainian diplomatic missions, and maintaining strong connections with Ukraine. It was also an opportunity for youth organisations to share their experiences, needs, challenges and successful examples of cooperation with Ukrainian diplomatic institutions, while receiving important foreign policy messages and guidance to strengthen our advocacy efforts. CYM, as a global Ukrainian youth organisation, remains committed to developing young leaders who actively contribute to Ukraine and to the Ukrainian community in Australia and beyond. 🇦🇺🇺🇦
