Abstract

The types of publications of Polish cultural public organizations and societies in Ukraine and the main indicators of their activity are analyzed. All-Ukrainian and regional periodicals of the Polish minority in Ukraine are studied. Due to the activities of public cultural societies and organizations of the Polish minority, they have gained a foothold in the information space of Ukraine. The paper examines and lists the most widespread and influential registered regular and irregular periodicals which were published by Polish minority organizations and societies in Ukraine from 1991 to 2014. During this period, Polish NGOs founded more than 20 newspapers and magazines published throughout the country mainly in Polish and Ukrainian languages, while Russian was used in only some regions. Appendix 1 lists the largest regular and irregular periodicals of the studied period.It is proved that the Polish-language press and the press for the Polish minority in Ukraine not only meets the needs of Polonia in information about the historical homeland, but also greatly facilitates the exchange of information among Polish communities about their own lives. The formation and establishment of the largest all-Ukrainian and regional periodicals of Polish public organizations and societies in Ukraine are analyzed. The largest of them were: "Dziennik Kijowski", "Gazeta Lwowska", "Biuletyn Federacji Federacji Organizacji Polskich na Ukrainie", which since 2008 has been called "Nasze Drogi" and "Kurier Galicyjski". Analyzing them, it can be noted that the most common topics were religious and national holidays, major events and events held by Ukrainian Poles, as well as reports and information on the activities of organizations.
