Abstract
In this article the author analyzes the changes in the system of higher military administration of the Armed Forces of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR) in 1920. The Ukrainian Army in 1920 was under the military-political influence of Poland. The Ukrainian Army kept the achievements of previous years. The priorities of centralization were fixed in the law on higher military administration in the UPR on November 12, 1920. In November 1920, 3 main directions of the military command were determined: the Ministry of War, the General Staff and the General Inspection of the troops. During the war the Commander of the Army played an important role. Such approaches considerably improved the functionality of the Armed Forces of the UPR. The new law clearly defined full powers of the "Supreme Military Council", which include representatives of the military command and the government. It used not only the Ukrainian experience of 1917-1919, but also the experience of the Russian imperial army. Novations of 1920 strengthened the influence of Chief Otaman S. Petliura on the Armed Forces and the political leadership of the UPR.
