Excerpt from the preface
The libretto of the opera “Vyshyvanyi. King of Ukraine” is being published in German at a time when Ukraine is once again having to fight for its freedom and independence, as the Moscow imperialist does not want to accept its independence. This libretto is not only a literary work, but, above all, a political message about freedom, independence, the rule of law, self-determination and identity of Ukraine, Ukrainian culture and brave Ukrainian men and women. Archduke Wilhelm as a person and this book are a vivid example of the fact that freedom is not something that can be taken for granted. It must be constantly fought for and defended. Wilhelm von Habsburg comes from a distinctly European dynasty, and Ukraine today is a beacon of freedom for Europe. Glory to Ukraine!
Karl von Habsburg, preface to the Austrian edition 2024
