The paths leading to the freedom and independence of the people may, of course, be different. But the struggle for the ideal of freedom and independence begins with the realisation of the rights of this people. Again, this awareness is crystallised in everyday life, and it is reinforced by education in the family and society. Hence the ongoing discussion about the quality of the elite, i.e. those who educate, guide, and lead. Yaroslav Stetsko's first articles on ideological topics were devoted to these issues. In them, he emphasised that the quality of the elite determines the forms of education and the high level of consciousness of the people. The elite infuses the people with the desire to be the people, the will to act, and stimulates the people's activity. Yaroslav Stetsko believed that the nationalist movement is best able to mobilise the forces of the people «in all areas of life» and create «its own forms, its own content of social life».
