Ilyushin I. Polish military-political underground in Western Ukraine (1939-1945 rr.).

The thesis is dedicated to the history of the Polish military-political underground in Western Ukraine in 1939-1945. The main goal of its actiwity was regaining independence on this territory, within the Second Polish Republic borders. During the period of 1939-1941 Polish Independent Underground used to fight with Soviets and in 1941-1944 with German occupant. The strongest power of operation underground state on the territory in question was Home Army, integral part of the Polish army, shared into regions: Volhyn, Lvov, Tarnopol and Stanislavov. During the war also the Ukrainian National Liberation Movement, aiming to establish its own statehood was against Polish underground. In the result of this divergence there was the severe armed conflikt between Polish Independent Underground and Ukrainian Independence Movement and tragedy of Polish and Ukrainian people. In those times the agreement satisfactory for both sides was impossible to gain. The culmination of AK activity in 1944 was Action "Burza''.After invasion in 1944 Red Army started destroying Polish Independence Underground struktures.
