Dudko-Karpenko, Tryfon, and Chugaister. During the era of the Ukrainian National Republic (UNR), he initially served in the Ministry of Land Affairs before relocating to Lviv, where he made contributions to the library of the Scientific Society named after Shevchenko. Following a period of unemployment due to staff reductions after seven years of service, Dudko sought opportunities in Lublin and Kraków, where he worked for the Kraków News and served as an editor for publications such as "Our Word" in Berest and "Pinska Pravda" in Pinsk. Despite enduring imprisonment by the Gestapo after emigrating to Germany in 1944, Dudko collaborated with magazines such as "Church and Life" and "Golos." He narrowly escaped, spent several years in German displaced persons (DP) camps, and arrived in the United States in 1949, where he resumed his literary pursuits, eventually becoming an editor for the magazine "Samopomich."
