Abstract
Volodymyr Starosolsky’s walk of living was traditional for many people of the Polish-Ukrainian border, who lived at the end of the XIX and early XX century. Oftentimes they «discovered» their nationality, whether it was Polish or Ukrainian, only in the forthcoming century. That happened by virtue of motivation that arose from the reminiscence of family traditions or was influenced by the environment, often while studying at school or university. What were the consequences of such choice? How did people treat the past of their predecessors and the nation which their ancestors were identified to? Did they separate at last becoming anti-Polonists, or becoming to be Ukrainian patriots, did they try to save the legacy and respect to people, whom they consciously separated from? Except the choice of Ukrainian nationality and undeniable Ukrainian patriotism Volodymyr Starosolsky had never showed his anti-Polonism views. For this reason he had a considerable respect in the Polish governmental, political and intellectual environment. Volodymyr Starosolsky was a typical representative of border communities. Such people often coming from mixed families at a particular moment of their lives faced a dilemma what nationality to choose. Some like Starosolsky, chose the Ukrainian one (which was generally not against Polish nationality of his sister Jadwiga), others like Yevheniush Barvinsky chose Polish nationality. Starosolsky always believed that dialogue is the best form of solutions to mutual conflicts in the Polish-Ukrainian relations. Consequently, also in the second half of the thirties (of XX century) he visited informal meetings on Ukrainian issues in Poland, organized by the Polish politicians
