The League for the Liberation of the Peoples of the USSR also known as the Paris Bloc was an émigré front of six anti-Soviet political groups – Belarusian, Ukrainian, Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani and North Caucasian – established in Paris in 1953. It published its own quarterly Problems of the Peoples of the USSR (Munich; 1958–1966). The League was chaired by Mikoła Abramčyk, President-in-exile of the Belarusian National Republic.

“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
“Women do not have to sacrifice personhood if they are mothers. They do not have to sacrifice motherhood in order to be persons. Liberation was meant to expand women’s opportunities, not to limit them. The self-esteem that has been found in new pursuits can also be found in mothering.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Wedding is great Juno’s crown,
O blessed bond of board and bed!
‘Tis Hymen peoples every town,
High wedlock then be honorèd.
Honor, high honor, and renown
To Hymen, god of every town!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
