Summary/Abstract: The article is the analysis of the materials of “The Trident” Weekly, published by the emigration government of the Ukrainian People’s Republic in Paris from 1925 to 1940. The editorial board paid particular attention to the repressions performed by of the communist regime, which the editors equated with the Russian occupation of Ukraine. Among the key topics that were raised by the weekly were the coverage of the activities of Soviet repressive bodies in Ukraine, political trials of Ukrainian intellectuals and clergy, mass repressions against the Ukrainian peasantry, and the organisation of the intentional famine of 1932—1933. The main theme of the publications of the weekly is the statement that after the occupation of Ukraine by Soviet Russia, a totalitarian regime was established here, which, like its czarist predecessor, carried out imperial policy to keep it under control.
