Revolutionary upheavals in Europe in the early twentieth century radically influenced the socio-political life of European countries, led to the emergence of new subjects of international relations, previously unknown phenomena. First of all, considering the topic of the study, this concerns Czechoslovak and Ukrainian statebuilding, as well as such phenomenon as Eastern European agrarianism, represented in particular by Czechoslovak and Ukrainian variants. Political parties represented it on Czechoslovak and Ukrainian soil. In Czechoslovakia, the Czechoslovak Republican (Agrarian) Party (hereinafter referred to as the CRAP), in Ukraine – the Ukrainian Democratic-Agrarian Party (hereinafter referred to as UDAP), the Ukrainian People's Community (hereinafter – UPC), the All-Ukrainian Union of Agrarians-Owners (Peasants) (hereinafter – AUAO), Ukrainian People's Party (hereinafter – UPP). The author, on the basis of an analysis of the programmatic provisions of these parties, found that they were clearly agrarian. In spite of certain differences caused by the regional specificity of the countries, the course of historical events, peasant-centrism was at the heart of their state ideology. They connected the socio-political and socioeconomic future of Czechoslovakia and Ukraine with the peasantry. They understood it as an active subject of history, of national state-building.
