Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/journalofukraini231 Journal of Ukrainian Studies 23, no. 1 (Summer 1998) Ukrainian-Polish Relations in Galicia in 1918-1919 Oleksandr Pavliuk Ukrainian-Polish relations in Galicia in 1918-1919 can be described by one word: war. Most Ukrainian and Polish historians acknowledge that this war determined the fate of Eastern Galicia and the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic (ZUNR). The first studies on the Polish-Ukrainian military and diplomatic conflict in Galicia during the existence of the ZUNR appeared in the 1920s and 1930s.^ Most of them were biased and polemical. Polish authors expounded on Poland’s “historical right” to Western Ukraine and the “artificiality” of the Ukrainian national movement, while the Ukrainian authors defended the righteousness of the Ukrainians’ struggle. Meanwhile Soviet authors treated the adversaries with equal disdain, condemning both the expansionism of “gentry” Poland and the activities of the “bourgeois nationalist” ZUNR government; they continued doing so until the collapse of the USSR.^ 1.
