A scarce World War II Ukrainian émigré geopolitical and economic brochure published in Prague in 1940 by the Artists, Writers, and Journalists Section of the Ukrainian National Federation (Ukrayins'ke Natsional'ne Ob'yednannya — UNO) in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Authored by engineer Dr. S. Volodymyriv, this pamphlet provides a concise statistical breakdown of Ukraine's territorial scope, agricultural productivity, mineral wealth, and global economic standing. Featuring comparative tables evaluating pre-war global exports and production metrics—including wheat, barley, manganese, iron ore, coal, and steel output—the text argues for Ukraine's economic viability and strategic significance as a major European breadbasket and industrial power.
