Abstract
The article analyzes the activities of Ukrainian deputies of the Austrian Parliament in the process of creating Ukrainian university. November 19, 1901 deputy of the Austrian parliament J. Romanchuk for the first time made a proposal to the government to submit a draft law on the establishment of its own Ukrainian university in Lviv and by that time to form parallel departments which had to teach in Ukrainian language. Failure of Ukrainian deputies of the Austrian Parliament to solve problem of establishing Ukrainian university was explained by the fact that they didn’t have a unanimous position concerning this issue. It was found out that the activity of Ukrainian deputies of the Austrian Parliament concerning establishing Ukrainian university was significantly stepped up by the new electoral law on universal suffrage in 1907 which significantly increased the representation of Ukrainians of Galicia in Parliament. Ukrainian deputies of the Austrian Parliament at the beginning of the twentieth century initiated negotiations with the government, sought allies among the parliamentary representative of other nations, approached with requests to the government. However, the position of the Austrian authorities concerning establishing Ukrainian university remained contradictory and inconsistent. The Austrian government occasionally gave promise to train teaching staff under the condition of existing appropriate Ukrainian candidates and about the appointment of academic staff for Ukrainian university. A. Sheptytsky, Metropolitan of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, member of the House of the Austrian Parliament took an active part in the university case. 28 June 1910, he spoke in the House of Lords in the Austrian Parliament with a speech in defense of human rights of Ukrainians to study in a native language. June 4, 1912 the Austrian government developed the first project concerning creating Ukrainian university which was more consistent with the interests of the Polish population of Galicia than Ukrainian. Establishment of Ukrainian university was postponed for 10 years; its location was not specified, it had to be defined by Parliament by a separate law. During the First World War the struggle for establishing Ukrainian university continued. Ukrainian deputies of the Austrian Parliament continued to appeal to the Austrian government demanding the establishment of Ukrainian university.Brest peace and its additional secret protocol guaranteeing the division of Galicia into two parts: the Polish and Ukrainian, thereby solving the case of Ukrainian university in Lviv but its conditions were not implemented. In 1918 Lviv university remained bilingual. It was determined that the fight of Ukrainian deputies of the Austrian Parliament for the creation of Ukrainian university was conducted exclusively by legal methods.
