Abstract

Due to the source of study analysis and synthesis, the authors found out the materials in the historical works and memoirs of the participants in Ukrainian liberation movement. The following materials are connected with the Act of June 30, 1941 about the restoration of the Ukrainian state. They are reviewed and compared with other sources, including the importance of these sources, the authors subjective opinions, the influence of the social-politic situation on their writings, political and party affiliations, the possibility of wrong coverage of the events and the limit of human memory ability. Through the prism of historical works and memoirs, the current activity of The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists was explained in the article. It was guided by the principle of relying on its own forces in its struggling for the Ukrainian statehood, and at the same time, to gain strong support of the external factors. After working out these sources we can conclude that the leaders of the OUN until July 1941 had mostly abstract, general and controversial ideas of the real Nazis intentions towards Ukraine. Historical works and memories of the participants of the Ukrainian liberation movement during the war period indicated that: The Act of restoration of the Ukrainian state was prepared by the leaders of Bandera 's OUN, proclaimed on June 30, 1941 in Lviv, and caused great enthusiasm among the Ukrainians and became the beginning of state-building processes in Western Ukraine. After analyzing the reaction of Berlin to these events, the banderites realized that their alliance with the Nazis was broken. Since then, Bandera 's OUN had begun their preparations for the opening of a new front against German.
