Vasyl Kuchabsky's Western Ukraine in Conflict with Poland and Bolshevism,
1918-1923 is devoted to one of the most complex periods of
twentieth-century history, when the defeat of the Central Powers in the
First World War and the collapse of the Russian Empire made it possible for
the "non-historical nations" of Central and Eastern Europe to undertake the
creation of independent states.

Kuchabsky, whom the renowned specialist on modern Ukraine Ivan
Lysiak-Rudnytsky considered "the most interesting historian of the
Ukrainian revolution," wrote the most comprehensive account of the
political, military, and diplomatic aspects of the Western Ukrainian
struggle for independence. The central issues in his study are
Ukrainian-Polish relations and the Ukrainian-Polish War of 1918-19.
Kuchabsky also examines state-building in the Western Ukrainian People's
Republic (ZUNR) and, to some extent, in the Ukrainian People's Republic
(UNR), as well as relations between the two republics, within the broader
context of European politics, the Paris Peace Conference, the interests of
the Allied powers, and the Russian attitude toward Ukrainian independence.


A participant in the events he described, Kuchabsky (1895-1971) served as
an officer in Ukrainian Sich Riflemen units during the struggle for
Ukrainian independence. Having emigrated to Germany in 1922, he obtained a
doctorate in history and Slavic philology from the University of Berlin in
1930. His major contribution to historical scholarship, Die Westukraine im
Kampfe mit Polen und dem Bolschewismus in den Jahren 1918-1923, is
published in full in English translation by Gus Fagan, with an introduction
by Oleksandr Pavlyuk, in the monograph series of the Peter Jacyk Centre for
Ukrainian Historical Research.
