Ukrajina, ukrajinština a Češi v počátcích dvacátého století
Ukraine, the Ukrainian language and the Czechs at the beginning of the twentieth century

Summary/Abstract: The study examines the relationship of the Czech public and Czechoslovak politicians and scientists to Ukraine and Ukrainians in the early 20th century. It focuses on the Ukrainian national revival, which sought to restore Ukrainian language and culture, and on the political struggle for autonomy within Russia and later independence from the Russian Empire. The text analyses the attitudes of prominent figures such as Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, Hippolyte Boczkowski, Mykhailo Hrushevskyi and Jaromir Nečas, who took an active interest in the Ukrainian movement and tried to involve Czechoslovakia in supporting Ukrainian independence. The text also documents the arrival of Ukrainian exiles in Czechoslovakia after the Russian Bolshevik coup and analyses how Czech society at that time was learning to understand the Ukrainian question.
