The Polish-Ukrainian inter-war confrontation. The Ukrainian political movement in Poland 

Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2015, Vol 21, Issue 2

Abstract

The desire to develop, in the inter-war period, good cohabitation relations between the Ukrainian minority in Poland and the state administration, shared, partially, by both sides, was difficult to carry out, given the constant endeavours of the Ukrainian political leaders to form an independent Ukrainian state. To that effect, the National Ukrainian Party from Poland linked itself including to the Ukrainian political movement from Bukovina, the leaders of the latter implementing, to the letter, the directives mapped out. On the other hand, the Polish authorities acted so that they approach the moderate Ukrainian elements, wishing thus to carry out, a favourable pressure upon the nationalist Ukrainian parties, as a means to obtain a positive collaboration. Adolf Hitler’s accession to power, in Germany, has influenced the international context in which Poland was at the time, giving hope to the Ukrainian minority in its fight to obtain national unity, much to the discontent of the Soviets.
