THE NATURE OF THE ACTIVITIES OF UKRAINIAN

AND POLISH ÉMIGRÉSFROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF OLEKSANDR KOLIANCHUK’S ASSESSMENTS

Abstract. In the article the nature of the activities of Ukrainian and Polish political émigrésis outlined through the assessments of a Ukrainian and Polish historian Oleksandr Kolianchuk (1932) with a reflection on the transcendental value of Ukrainian-Polish interactions and their intercultural significance for the Ukrainian and Polish neighboring peoples during the twentieth century. The topic offered is closely connected with the problem of political emigration, that is with the problem, which can be considered in different dimensions of social character in general and socio- cultural dimension in particular. The article (book) deals with the role of the representatives of the Ukrainian emigration in the Polish science and culture. This problem includes well-reasoned unity which is useful for the Ukrainian-Polish cultural ties in the 20-30^th of the XX century. This circle of problems was studied by a well-known historian Oleksandr Kolianchuk from Peremyshl. Scientific works of the Polish outstanding scientist, socio-cultural figure were not enough estimated. Our attention is caught by conceptually new Kolianchuk’s approach to the solving of unsolved tasks of his predecessors by his rich historical-documentary base, which gives panoramic imagination of a great role of Ukrainian military emigration in preserving state-unity traditions of the Ukrainian people, especially after the dramatic defeat of national-liberatory struggle of 1917 – 1921. Scientific works of the scientist make special impression if we consider the facts, events studied by him in the light of the analysis of the parallels, which create a certain chain between the epochs of Bohdan Kchmelnytsky, Ivan Mazepa, Mykchailo Hrushevsky, Symon Petlura, Volodymyr Vynnychenko, Avhustyn Voloshyn, Andriy Sheptytsky. It goes without saying that it should be done much for studying those prior identificators which are characteristic for the Polish emigration on the one hand and the Ukrainian emigration on the other hand.

Key words: Ukrainian political emigration to Poland, Ukrainian-Polish interaction, research work of Oleksandr Kolianchuk, transcendental value.
