Abstract
The article highlights the OUN position concerning the Ukrainian-Polish relations during the Second World War. It shows changes in ideology and policy of the organization with respect to national problems depending on events on fronts and the international political situation. Actions of the Ukrainian nationalists concerning settlement of the Ukrainian-Polish relations and the reason of their rejection by the Polish politicum are analyzed. The main stages and the nature of the Ukrainian-Polish opposition and also the moments of situational cooperation were outlined. The author claims that radical slogans of OUN concerning the solution of the UkrainianPolish problem the day before and in the first days of war were caused by the anti-Ukrainian practice of the Polish power of the interwar period and unwillingness of the Polish side to agree as an equal according to new circumstances. A turning point concerning the Ukrainian nationalists to Poles was the Second Conference of the OUN(B) - (April, 1942) which had produced new approach to the solution of national problems, and began to consider them in the system of fight of all enslaved European nations. Despite the general threat to the Ukrainian and Polish statehood, leaders of OUN-B supported normalization of the Ukrainian-Polish relations and insisted on joint fight against imperial intrusiveness of Moscow and Berlin. The bloody Polish-Ukrainian conflict on Volyn cannot be treated as leaving from this line of the Wire as its motivation had much more deep roots which were beyond far ideological and political bases of OUN-B. The author rests responsibility on fratricidal war on leaders of both nations who in the heat of fight did not realize that they divided the territories which did not belong to them at that time. As a result the author draws a conclusion about harmful influence of the Polish-Ukrainian conflict on development of the national and state processes of both nations, it had no decisive influence on the nature of the Second World War, as well as improvement of post-war European space occurred without involvement of Ukrainians and Poles.
