Władze RP na wychodźstwie wobec emigracyjnego rządu Ukraińskiej Republiki Ludowej (luty 1940 – listopad 1942 r.)
The Polish Government in Exile and the Émigré Ukrainian People’s Republic Government (February 1940 – November 1942)

Summary/Abstract: Renewed in the autumn of 1939, contacts between the Polish Government in Exile and the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) centre in exile became more intense in the first months of the following year. That was facilitated by a short-lived update of Promethean concepts in which Great Britain and France were interested. On the Polish side, the most active personality was Olgierd Górka, head of the newly-created Nationalities Department in the Information and Documentation Centre. He supported the idea of creating a Ukrainian Legion and arranging a political agreement with the USSR Government, which was marred by the questionable problem of post-war demarcation. The Polish authorities continued to support Petlura activists financially even after the fall of France in June 1940. Cooperation with them was continued by unofficial Polish representatives in the unoccupied zone, under the control of the Vichy Government.
