Abstract

Members of Ukrainian student societies in Eastern Galicia during the interwar period (1918-1939) played an outstanding role in the state-building and cultural processes in the western Ukrainian lands. However, due to political, socio-economic, and limited opportunities to receive education in their native language, a number of students were forced to emigrate. While abroad, the students often tried to continue their education, and one of the educational institutions in which the emigrated students from Eastern Galicia studied was the Ukrainian Academy of Economics in Podebrady.
