Konstantin Matsievich - Ukrainian Scholar and Diplomat

Summary/Abstract: Using unknown archival sources in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Romania and Ukraine, this study focuses on the work of scientist-agronomist, public figure and diplomat Konstantin Matsievich (1873–1942). The study deals with his academic activity in Russia, Ukraine and Czechoslovakia, as well as with his participation in the Ukrainian national liberation movement of the late nineteenth - early twentieth century and the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1921. We analyze the activity he carried out in Parliament, the Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, as head of the Ukrainian People's Republic diplomatic missions in Romania and Bulgaria and as the leader of Ukrainian political emigration in interwar period in Romania. The current paper shows, for the first time in historiography, the role Konstantin Matsievich played in the unification of Ukrainian political emigration in Europe under the auspices of the State Center of the Ukrainian People's Republic.
