Soliar I. External orientations of national and state parties of Western Ukraine (1923 - 1939).

Programme principles of national state parties of Western Ukraine - Ukrainian National Labour Party (UNLP), Ukrainian National Democratic Block (UNDB), Ukrainian Radical Party (since 1926 - Ukrainian Socialist Radical Party) (URP-USRP), Ukrainian Social-Democratic Party (USDP) in the sphere of external politics have been analyzed in the dissertation. Despite of ideological differences, parties of state and national orientation in Western Ukraine aimed at revival of Ukrainian state sovereignty and unity, though their abilities of achieving this on an international arena were limited: propaganda of the idea of Ukrainian state sovereignty among masses of European countries public, attempts to find supporters of this idea among foreign politicians, criticizing of political regimes on Ukrainian lands, hindering these regimes in international political events, participation in international organizations.
