From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tymofiy Koreichuk (Ukrainian: Тимофій Корейчук; c. 1879 October, 1919) was a prominent peasant politician in Galicia and Bukovina (now Ukraine) who became an early Ukrainian Canadian labour leader.

Koreichuk was born c.1879 in Kitsman county in Austria-Hungary. In young adulthood, he formed a local branch of the Sich Society, an organization that promoted physical education and national consciousness.[1] He attempted to give the Sich Society movement a more socialist orientation, but was shut down.[2] He formed the Bukovynian section of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party in 1906.[2] He then traveled through northern Bukovyna, organizing rural labourers and speaking in mass meetings.[2] Under this party, he ran in the Bukovynian Diet in 1911.
