Th e study traces that the end of the Ukrainian Revolution and the rejection of Bolshevik rule, which had established itself in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) and led to the emergence of Ukrainian interwar emigration, which was dispersed across European countries. Within the emigrant community, two main groups were distinguished – military and civilian. Th e reasons why the majority of emigrants from the Ukrainian People’s Republic (UNR) chose Poland, as an ally
in the struggle according to the Warsaw Agreement, have been identifi ed herein. Th e emigrants’ desire to settle in the east￾ern voivodeships was infl uenced by geographical, linguistic, ethnocultural, and other factors. It has been substantiated that diffi cult living conditions prompted some emigrants to re-emigrate, particularly to France, where they faced hard physical labor, and to Czechoslovakia, mainly for educational purposes. It is emphasized that the existence of Ukrainian polit￾ical emigration was an irritant for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics authorities, who fought against the emigrants by vari￾ous means. Th e study highlights the diffi culties of adaptation, internal confl icts, and the return of some emigrants to Soviet Ukraine. It is proven that Ukrainian political emigration was able to adapt to the new ethnopolitical conditions and make a signifi cant contribution to the development of various spheres of life in the host countries. Political emigrants were particu￾larly active in social, cultural, and educational practices in the eastern voivodeships of Poland.
