Abstract
In the scientific article the author reveals the essence of the conflict between the Polish ambassador Bronislav Voitsekhovsky and the Metropolitan of the Greek Catholic Church Andrei Sheptytsky. The conflict took place in February 1938. B. Voycehovsky in the Polish Seim, sharply criticized the decision of A. Sheptytsky to ban Polish soldiers from participating in the Jordanian feast. In fact, the speech of the Polish parliamentarian was inspired by the consistent course of the Metropolitan to defend Ukrainianity in Poland. Statements by Ambassador B. Voicehovsky were frankly anti-Ukrainian. Polish anti-Ukrainian rhetoric was also supported by Gazeta Lwowska, Warzcawsky Dziennik narodowyi, Dziennik Polski, Gazeta Lwowska, Kurier Polsky and others. At the same time, Ukrainian deputies of the Polish Sejm: V. Tselevich, V.Voyitovich, S. Baran and others have defended Metropolitan A. Sheptytsky. Galician Ukrainian periodicals: “Dilo”, “New time”, “Meta”, etc. Also sharply condemned the speech of the Polish ambassador B. Voytsekhovsky. Throughout Galicia, during February 1938, mass protests were held. Manifestations took place, in particular, in Ternopil, Berezhany, Sambir, Zborov, Rohatyn, Bibrtsi, Pechenizhyn, Kolomyia, Tovmachi, Otinia and others. The communique of the protest was, in particular, the Society of St. Andrew in Lviv, the representatives of the Main Council of the Ukrainian Catholic Union, the Mariysk partnership of the city of Peremyshl, the regional centers of the Prosvita Society, and others.
