Lobutzky and the family. 12/x Dear Minister of the Reich! At the l8.Oct.ds. Jr. I came from Kiev through Warsaw to Prague to my relative Prof. D. Dooroshenko. Since the first days of the German Administration in Ukraine, I worked in Kiev as head of the Legal and Supervision Department of the Kiev Administration, at this post, which I had for over two years, I was confirmed by the German administration. My work has been recognised several times by the Deutsche Verwaltung, which was also published. For my conscientious and purposeful activity, I received an order from the German Administration. During the Soviet rule, my family was subjected to severe persecution.My father and brother were shot for anti-Bolshevik activity.My wife was exiled to 5 *ahre and her brother was sentenced to death, which was later changed to 20 years in prison. Almost all members of the family, such as academic S. Yefremov, Prof. Durdukovsky, etc., were also sentenced to many years in prison. As a result, I was in constant danger of arrest during Soviet rule and could not work freely. For my anti-Bolshevist activity during the German administration in Ukraine, I was sentenced to death by the Soviets, which was also published. Now I am in Prague with my family, including the 73-year-old mother-in-law who stays here and my wife is about to take up a position at a war-important Prague company. The invitation of the company already owns my wife. I make myself available to the employment office and am ready to take any work assigned to me in any place. I kindly ask you, dear Minister of the Reich, not to deny me and my two family members (my wife Natalie and Halyna Tarasiuk) the stay in Prague. Heil Hitler! St. M.πD-91/43 w.obutly f.s.
