International fair “Eastern trades” in Lviv (1920–1930’s): world experience and local realities

Abstract

For many world-leading countries in the 20–30’s of the XX-th century international fairs were important forms of economic policy. They were organized to improve foreign trade relations. International fairs “Eastern trades” in Lviv, which were held at the country level between 1921 and 1939, were the second largest trading events, with the first place occupied by Poznan trades in Poland of that time. Lviv trades were reminiscent of the world exhibitions, but they had their local peculiarities. These were not only economic exhibitions, but also political demonstrations. Exhibitions and fairs were attended by the representatives of the foreign firms from more than 20 countries, among them Hungary, Romania, Austria, Germany and France. “Eastern trades” revived Polish foreign trade relations with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. However, due to difficult social and political situation, they could not dramatically increase the participation of the local Ukrainian entrepreneurs and strengthen the role of Lviv in the international trade.
