The Ukrainian conservative political thought in Eastern Galicia evolved around a lack of self-sovereignty. Leading activists during the Ukrainian national revolution were involved in the construction of an independent Ukrainian state. Those experiences led them to conclude that the Galician Ukrainians were too immature to hold an independent state. Their greatest demand of Polish authorities was the autonomy within Poland. Loyalty, however, did not imply either support for the Polish policy or rejection of the independence idea. These moderate political projects did not gain conservatives any support. They were accused of appeasement and opportunism. The events of 1930 showed the failure of Ukrainian conservative thought.
