I knew the Kolodiazny’s,they lived beside us in Ternopol,Ukraine.I wonder if this is Victors relatives?I will be going to Sochi for the 2014 Olympics I will see if i can talk to Victor.I remember some of the Kolodiazny’s as having red hair which was strange for our city.

I knew a Kolodiazny when I was in the war in Yugoslavia,he was killed,he was a really great guy and i think we just buried him there.I can’t remember his first name but he was in the Ukrainian Army and his last name was Kolodiazny.Maybe he is related to Victor as well.I’am not sure how to track down his death,I think he was killed in 1994.

My grandfather Kornielius Kolodiazny remembered Russian troops being bayonetted while they were hiding in haystacks around the village.Austro-Hungarian,German and Russian troops fought all around where he grew up.Korny joined Pulsudski’s army in 1921 and became a Polish citizen when Poland was formed.His army records were wiped out when Hitler destroyed Poland’s archives.He had a sister in the Ukraine,who survived Hitler’s einsatzgruppen by being shoved up the chimminey of their house!

Lesya Ukrainka grew up in Kolodiazhne,her family lived there for over a half century and she lived in Kolodiazhne for a quarter of a century.She wrote almost all her great stuff there.It’s in the Volyn Region,the houses are still there having somehow survived both World Wars.The Eastern front in World War 1 went right through Kolodiazhne!If you want to visit it is the Lesya Ukrainka Museum in Kolodiazhne,Volyn,Ukraine.And it contain’s all kinds of her stuff with autograph’s and everything.Good-Luck Kerry.

No I have’nt tried to contact them and find out but it is amazing in that my family lives in Vancouver,Canada the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics and Victor is Mayor of Sochi the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics!I did find out that there is a Kolodiazne Village which is famous as Leska Ukrainka’s father built a number of house’s there and today it is the site of the “Greatest Ukrainian Poetess’s” museum!As with our Canadianized name of Kolodiazny,a few letter’s were switched around upon my grandfather Kornielius arrival in Halifax from Hamburg in 1930,the Canadian immigration official dropped the h and kept the n ,thinking they were a double n but it was h and then n ,we think.But the pronounciation of Victor’s last name and our last name is identical!

After the accident, all carriage rides are banned in St. Petersburg, possibly perminately.
