Summary/Abstract: The article discusses how the environment of Meta periodical assessed the approach of Polish government towards the Ukrainian minority during years 1918-1939 (the so -called Second Republic of Poland). Meta was a weekly magazine issued by the Ukrainian Catholic Association, published under the auspices of the metropolitan of Lviv, Andrzej Szeptycki. Archbishop Szeptycki was a leader of the Ukrainian religious and socio -political life and his opinions had a significant impact on the Ukrainian minority in Poland. The journalists writing for Meta criticized the Polish government’s ethnic policy towards Ukrainians. The political environment centered around this Greek -Catholic periodical attempted to work out their own conception of legal regulations which would improve the situation of the Ukrainian minority in Poland. On the other hand, the formation of the Ukrainian Catholic Association and Meta was aimed at limiting the influence of the radical Ukrainian nationalists united in OUN.
