Abstract

The social-political activity of the well-known Galician politician Volodymyr Tselevych during the first two decades of the twentieth century was analyzed in the light of socio-political processes in the region. It was noted that the future leader of the Ukrainian National-Democratic Association started his “political career” in the Division of the IV Section of the Ukrainian Student Union, as well as in the National-Democratic section of this student organization, where the students of the Ukrainian National Democratic Party were grouping together.A particular focus was made on the peculiarities of the formation of his belief system, his contribution to the founding of the Ukrainian Horozhansky Committee, the Ukrainian Military; the circle of his fellow-thinkers was distinguished, among which were the future leaders of the national-state parties of Galicia and the national-cultural organizations of the region. It was proved that the role of V. Tselevych in the Ukrainian Military Organization (UMO) due to the lack of proper experience in military campaigns was gradually reduced to a purely organizational work, and E. Konovalets, D. Paliyiv, V. Kuchabskyi, O. Koberskyi, S. Fedak, etc. took over the leadership in the organization.The activities of Volodymyr Tselovych at the Ukrainian Horozhansky Committee (UHC) were considered; he directed his activities to meet the daily needs and protect the Ukrainians of Lviv. It was noted that as a secretary of the organization, he coordinated the activities of a number of committees and sections that provided material assistance to captives, arrested and feeble persons, was engaged in mediation regarding matters of employment, provided legal advice.It was stated that Volodymyr Tselevych, while being in the UHC, UMO during the period of national liberation struggles, the Polish-Ukrainian war of 1918-1919, made significant efforts to protect the national-cultural, social and political rights of the Ukrainians of Eastern Galicia, collaborated with the Ukrainian political emigration, which caused him sufferings from repressions and persecutions from the Polish authorities.
