This book is the reflections of historians of Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Rivne, and Lutsk on the socio-political and cultural and educational life of Galicia and Volhynia between the two world wars, under Polish occupation, during the Ukrainian-Polish confrontations - from the war of 1918-1919 to the Volhynia the tragedies of 1943, during which both Poles and Ukrainians died.

    The main direction of the national policy of the Second Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was to ensure the territorial integrity of the revived state with a border along Zbruch. Warsaw organized repressions against nationalist forces, and also sought to bring legal Ukrainian political forces to the rails of peace. The authorities not only gave advantages to the Polonophilic groups, but also artificially formed a pro-Poland national consciousness among the Boiks, Lemkos, Hutsuls, Polishchuks, and tried to implement the policy of national or state assimilation through the system of education and culture.
