Рolicy of the management of the oun's Сarpathian area on the starving arrivals from Ukraine's eastern regions (1946 - 1947)

Abstract

In the article on the basis of unknown and little-known archival documents one of still insufficiently investigated aspects of policy of the management of the OUN’s Carpathian area (Karpatskyi krai), namely, the initiative of Ukrainian national liberation movement to help the starving population who arrived from the Ukraine’s Eastern regions in 1946 – 1947, is clarified. By concrete examples it has been demonstrated that both the West Ukrainian population on the whole and the representatives of the OUN and UPA in particular treated those arrivals without any inimical attitude whatsoever.
