Abstract
The article reveals the forms and methods of struggle of the inhabitants of Galician village of Babukhiv in the 1920s. for the right to teach children at local school in Ukrainian language. The author notes that after the First World War, Galicia, along with other Ukrainian lands, became part of the Polish state. On March 14, 1923, the Council of Ambassadors recognized the accession of Galicia to the Polish state as a separate international act. As a result, 7 million Ukrainians in Western Ukraine turned out to be the only large nation in Europe that did not gain independence at that time. Accelerated polonization of the administrative apparatus and schooling began. Its main principles in the field of education were laid down in the so-called Frontier laws – the “Law on Certain Provisions in the Organization of Schooling” and the “Law on the State Language in Administrative Bodies of Local Self-Government”, approved by the Sejm on July 31, 1924. The Law on School Reform provided that the main type of public school was bilingual or so-called Utraquist. Analyzing these laws, the author concludes that the main task of the Polish administration from the first years of its rule in Galicia was to limit the network of Ukrainian schools, to polonize them.
