Abstract

The article traces the attitude of the OUN to the attempts of various Ukrainian political forces to reach an agreement with Poland, discusses disagreements and debates on this issue in the Organisation. For joint condemnation of ‘uhodovstvo’ (cap-in-hand policy), there were two approaches in the OUN to the attempts of the Ukrainian-Polish agreement – militant and moderate. The militant approach gradually overbalanced, reaching a climax in terrorist acts in 1934.
