Summary/Abstract: The press belongs to one of the most important tools of propaganda influence on society. It was often used to conduct open wars aimed at promoting specific political views or reasons. For this reason, it can be concluded that the press release has also always had a significant impact on the security of the state. The purpose of this article is to illustrate Polish‑Ukrainian relations, presented in the pages of the most important Polish‑language newspapers of Lviv in the second half of 1930, during the sabotage of Ukrainian nationalists in Eastern Lesser Poland and the repressive action conducted by the Polish authorities in consequence. The most widely read Polish newspapers in Lviv were selected for the purposes of the article. In order to show the whole of the discussed issue, archival sources and publications were also used.
