The Homin choir was founded in Manchester in 1949 by Evhen Pasika-Hordij. From 1964, the conductor was Yaroslav Babuniak.

Bradford's Captive Nations Committee was the only such organisation in the UK. The Captive Nations Committee was modelled on the National Captive Nations Committee established in the USA in 1959 by Dwight Eisenhower with assistance from Lev Dobriansky. The National Captive Nations Committee also established Captive Nations Week, celebrated in the third week of July each year. This continues in the USA. Bradford's Captive Nations Committee was established in 1963. In 1983, the Committee unveiled a plaque in Bradford Cathedral to the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (unveiled by Yaroslav Stestko). After the end of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Captive Nations Committee rebranded itself as the Emerging Nations Committee, It was connected to the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (disbanded 1996).
