A fact from Natalka Poltavka appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 24 January 2008.

[edit] DYK suggestion

Here's what was suggested:

• ...that Natalka Poltavka, by Vasyl Avramenko, was the first Ukrainian language film produced in the United States?--Riurik^(discuss) 06:46, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I proposed almost the same thing here [1] It was removed by someone. He must not like Poltava :( Ostap 06:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe it was on accident? If that happens again, just renominate it (unless it's based on eligibility, etc). Good job on the article. I'm intrigued by your new talk-page model, :).--Riurik^(discuss) 20:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

They had a Vasyl Avramenko Exhibit here in Toronto in 2006.I was able to speak to the curator and she told me a lot of interesting stuff about the film. What is interesting is that this was the very first ethnic film made in the US and that the sets were sold and used for the first Yiddish film made the following year.

That is neat. Are there any pictures from the exhibit available under a free license? The Avramenko article could use a quality image.--Riurik^(discuss) 07:47, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
