Biographical Note
Miron Dolot is a pseudonym of Simon Starow, a Ukrainian-American writer and professor of Slavic languages. Starow was born
in Ukraine to Ukrainian parents. His father was killed in 1919 for his loyalty to the Ukrainian Independent Republic while
Starow was an infant. Starow served in the Soviet 44th Army Infantry Division during the Soviet-Finnish War on the Ukhta Front.
He fled the Soviet Union to West Germany as a political refugee and lived in Frankfurt am Main, where he was a member of the
Ukrainian émigré press, which he took an active part in until 1949, when he immigrated to the United States. From 1952 to
1955, Starow lived in Los Angeles and worked as a language instructor for the Voluntary Training Unit of the Marine Corps
Reserve. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1954. In 1955 he moved to Monterey, California to work as Ukrainian language
instructor at the Army Language School.
Scope and Content of Collection
The materials include manuscripts and notes of Dolot's (Starow's) publications, including
