Summary/Abstract: The present article outlines the activity of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists in the area of Polish-Czechoslovak borderland and its impact on the local people. On the basis of situation reports of the Lesser Poland Regional Inspectorate of the Border Guard, issued between 1930 and 1935, an attempt was made both to present the methods of prevention of the OUN operations that threatened the security of the Polish State, and to track a nationality situation in the borderland.
