Micheal Lucas Dies - Publisher of Northstar Compass Magazine (Canada)

In Toronto (Canada), Micheal Lucas, the founder and long-time publisher of the magazine Soviet-Canadian Friendship Northstar Compass, died on May 4. The AUCPBB expresses its deepest condolences to all relatives and friends of Micheal Lucas, as well as to the readers of the magazine in connection with his death. We knew him as an active and ardent propagandist and fighter for socialism, for justice, for a better future for mankind. The magazine, published for a long time, was always highly informative; it inspired confidence in the victory of mankind over the forces of evil - capitalism. His ascetic patriotic life will forever remain in our grateful memory.

“Dear comrades and friends!
I just received a sad notice of the death of Michael Lucas.
For those who did not know Michael, he was a longtime editor of Northstar Compass, the journal of the International Council of Friendship and Solidarity with the Soviet People. He continued this work at the age of 90 with the help of his wife Helen and other comrades from Toronto and from around the world.

Michael was one of the most consistent fighters for socialism. He was a longtime leader of the Carpatho-Russian Canadians Society. After the temporary collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, most Slavic organizations in Canada either disintegrated or abandoned socialism for the sake of nationalism. Michael and the Carpatho-Russian organization raised the red banner of socialism high and began work on the Northstar Compass. He contacted comrades in the Soviet Union and other former socialist countries who continued the struggle. Northstar Compass has been read by revolutionary and progressive people around the world.
The spirit of Michael in the struggle for socialism will be remembered for a long time.
He will be sorely missed. "

As a sign of solidarity
George Gruenthal
Member of the International Council of Friendship and Solidarity with the Soviet people.
