Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
The article presents a modern historiographical analysis of some «complicated» issues of Ukrainian-Polish relations during their most critical period. Much attention is given to the theoretical and methodological development of the conceptual construct of the Ukrainian-Polish relations and to the problem of mutual losses. Historiography of Ukrainian-Polish relations in the period of Second World War took shape in an independent research direction during the years of independence. Unfortunately, Ukrainian- Polish relations are not only the subject of sharp scientific discussions, but also an element of political confrontation. In the historiography of both countries a number of distinguished scientific directions interprets different events in different ways. Ukrainian scholars tend to consider Ukrainian-Polish relations in a comprehensive way. Domestic scholars emphasize that the reason of the Ukrainian-Polish confrontation was «a complex of socio-political and socio-economic factors». Polish historians quote Volyn’ events out of context of Ukrainian-Polish relations. There are no generalized approaches to the question of the terminology of Ukrainian-Polish relations in Ukrainian historiography. The issue of calculating the losses of both countries during a fratricidal confrontation remains a painful problem. In Ukrainian historiography there are significant differences in the estimation of the number of victims of both conflicting nations. Ukrainian-Polish relations during the interbellum period require systematic research. Attitude of the Ukrainian moderate strata (the intellectuals) and of the UGCC to the Ukrainian-Polish confrontation. Attempts to normalize the relations of two neighboring nations, ways of understanding.
