Volodymyr Markiv (Vladimir Markiw) (~~March 23, 1901~~, March 28, 1901, Buchach – November 4, 1972, New York) was a judge of the city court in Pidhaitsi from 1933-1939 and 1943-1944. He was the youngest son of the Ukrainian judge Teodor Markiv (1848-February 5, 1919), head of the Buchach District Court of the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic (ZUNR).
He was born on March 28, 1901, into the family of Teodor Markiv (son of Symeon Markiv and Euphrosynia Khariv) and Emilia Birzhynska (daughter of Father Antin Birzhynsky and Ahnoliya Levytska), who lived in a house located on cadastral plot No. ?? in Buchach (today Buchach, Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine; then Buchach, Buchach District, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Austro-Hungary).
It is probable that Volodymyr was the son from the second marriage of Teodor Markiv and Emilia Birzhynska. T. Markiv’s first wife was Emilia Boretska (– 1892??).
His mother was the daughter of Father Antin Birzhynsky (1829 – April 5, 1908), the parish priest of the village of Posada Rybotycka in the Peremyshl region from 1861-1908, and Ahnoliya Levytska (– 1899).
From 1912-1914, he was a student in the 1st and 2nd grades of the Imperial-Royal Gymnasium in Buchach.
Where he completed his gymnasium education is unknown. He probably received his university education in the law department of Lviv University.
Volodymyr Markiv passed the judge’s examination in 1931.
From 1933 to 1939, he worked as a city court judge in Pidhaitsi, Ternopil Oblast.
During the German occupation, he lived in Buchach and held senior positions in the German occupation administration.
From mid-October 1942, he was the director of the “Rayon Molocharnya” cooperative, which was a member of the RSUK (Auditing Union of Ukrainian Cooperatives).
In 1943, he was the authorized representative of the Military Administration of the “Halychyna” Division for recruiting volunteers from the territory of Buchach District and a sub-referent for military affairs of the Ukrainian District Delegation. He held the rank of sotnyk (captain).
At this time, he actively conducted recruitment campaigns in the district along with Sotnyk A. Honcharenko and the head of the Buchach District Delegation – Father Vasyl Melnyk-Limnychenko (1899-1949).
He was a participant in meetings of the leadership of the Military Administration of the “Halychyna” Division.
At one of these meetings, he characterized the situation in Buchach region: “…from the territories briefly occupied by the Bolshevik army, men fit for military service even in some cases cross the front and report to the ‘Halychyna’ Division. For example, near the village of Paushivka, from the territories occupied by the Bolsheviks, about 400 men crossed over at night in small groups, and all volunteered for the ‘Halychyna’ Division.”
Sotnyk Davydibida of the “Halychyna” Division characterizes Markiv somewhat negatively: “…Sotnyk Navrotsky told me in Lviv that the authorized representative of the Military Administration in Buchach, Mr. Markiv, has already prepared a car for himself in case he has to flee. He asked me to tell Markov that, if necessary, he should be the last to leave his post, not the first. Unfortunately, he disappeared from Buchach a few days ago; he probably went somewhere to find a suitable place…”**
From the end of 1944, the family was in emigration.
From October 19, 1944, to September 30, 1945, he lived with his family in Bayreuth.
On March 12, 1948, the transport ship “Marine Tiger” departed from the German port of Bremerhaven to New York. Among the large number of emigrants from Europe to the USA was the Markiv family.
On March 23, 1948, the ship docked at the port of New York.
The family consisted of: Volodymyr Markiv and his wife Maria-Anna, daughter Lidia, and his wife’s mother – Olha Tustanivska.
In 1950, the family lived at 231 East 6th Street, Manhattan, New York. Later at 10129 106th St, Ozone Park, NY 11416.
On February 6, 1972, his wife Maria-Anna died, and on November 4, 1972, Volodymyr himself passed away. The couple is buried in the Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery of St. Andrew in South Bound Brook.
Family
Before 1931, he married Maria-Anna Tustanivska (December 22, 1902, Vilky-Mazowieckie (Rava-Ruska) – February 6, 1972) (Maria Markiw), who was the daughter of priest Longin Tustanivsky (August 6, 1871 – October 4, 1926, Vilky-Mazowieckie) and Olha Kozii (February 2, 1878, Sukhovolya village, Zamość povit – after 1950, USA).
Perhaps the marriage took place in the village of Vilky-Mazowieckie, where at that time Father Kyrylo Tustanivsky (1886-1940), who was the wife’s father’s brother, was the parish priest.
The wife’s father had already passed away at that time, and his brother, Father Kyrylo Tustanivsky, became the head of the Vilky-Mazowieckie parish.
In 1922, Maria-Anna completed her studies at the Basilian Sisters’ Gymnasium in Lviv. She then continued her studies at Lviv University.
On July 7, 1931, the couple had a daughter, Lidia (Lydia Glut) (July 7, 1931, Lviv – ). She married Orest Glut (July 28, 1928, ??? – ).
Her husband arrived in the USA on June 9, 1950, along with his parents Petro Glut (June 11, 1900-March 18, 1986) and Antonina Makar (1900, February 15, 1902-1986, March 26, 1985) on the transport ship “General M B Stewart,” which departed on May 30, 1950, from the German port of Bremerhaven to New York.
