Abstract
The daily activities of the members of the illegal residency of the UPR Central Committee in exile ‘Istanbul Platform’ during 1929-35 consisted of various aspects: domestic, social, and public. However, a red thread through the daily life of representatives of the Ukrainian political emigration in Istanbul was intelligence work, which still impresses researchers not only with the ambitiousness of intentions, plans, and tasks, but also with the professionalism and skill of their implementation. Especially given the fact that none of the members of the residency had previously been a professional intelligence officer and had no previous practical experience in the special services. Being under the close supervision of Soviet agents, without funding and the necessary means, without permanent and reliable channels of communication with their curators, members of the Istanbul Platform had to not only integrate into the life of the local community in Istanbul, establish their daily routine, and not cause discontent with the Turkish migration service, but also carry out intelligence, educational and propaganda activities. Every day, they resorted to new, creative methods; they used all available opportunities and skills in confronting Soviet agents.
