ORIGINS OF NATIONAL LIBERATION MOVEMENT IN WESTERN UKRAINE IN 1918–1939

Abstract

This article discusses the emergence of the national liberation movement of Western Ukrainians during the interwar period, when several liberation forces emerged, represented both as legal unions and democratic parties, as well as by two illegal political forces. Leading political forces tried to influence this process, which did not lead to the consolida- tion of the national ideas, but instead lead to further contradictions. The struggle of the Polish national chauvinists and Ukrainian patriotic forces did not allow Ukrainians to defend the sovereignty of their state, since this was affected by the military-political situation in the region. The development of the Ukrainian national liberation movement was perceived as anti-state activity by the Polish society, and the unresolved political, economic, cultural, educational, and social problems – as an attempt to “steal” these lands. The Polish community considered the “Ukrainian question” through the prism of its own struggle for state independence, and the consistent assimilation policy of the Polish authorities, the actual lack of unity of Ukrainian political forces pushed part of the Ukrainian youth to the use of more radical forms of struggle. The prevalence of national interests over individual ones was proclaimed, the supreme goal of the struggle was asserted by the achievement of state independence.
