The article presents and rethinks the attempts to establish a Polish-Ukrainian dialogue in The Second Polish Republic between the First and Second World Wars. The strategic partnership between Poland and Ukraine has been maintained for the last thirty years. The state of this bilateral relations remains one of the determining factors of regional stability, especially in the context of deterring external threats. The long and contradictory history of Polish-Ukrainian relations is not only the subject of emotional scientific discussions, but also plays the role of a factor that contributes to the growth of ideological and political confrontation, while influencing the current policy of both countries. Interethnic relations in The Second Polish Republic continue to be interpreted differently by Polish and Ukrainian historians. In view of this, the search for and rethinking the facts of attempts to establish a Polish-Ukrainian dialogue between the First and Second World Wars is becoming especially relevant today. It is concluded that during the years of domination in Western Ukraine, the Polish authorities have failed to develop a comprehensive program to resolve the “Ukrainian question”, instead trying to break the resistance of Ukrainian by force. In general, the entire national policy of the Polish state of the interwar period was characterized by uncertainty, half-hearted decisions and unjust and cruel discriminatory measures against Ukrainians. On the Ukrainian side, the constructive dialogue was also complicated by the propaganda of radical forces, which proclaimed that there was no need to seek a compromise with the Poles, and characterized any attempts at understanding as national treason. National extremism on both sides led to further aggravation of relations, which erupted, in particular, the Volyn tragedy of 1943. As a result, it led to the radicalization of the Ukrainian national movement, the weakening of the Polish state, and subsequently cost both nations numerous casualties as a result of the violent suppression of the national development of Ukrainians and Poles that lasted for decades. At the same time, there are many examples of Polish-Ukrainian cooperation of intellectual elites of the interwar period, which not only observed and stated, but also took practical steps in this direction

Trwająca rosyjsko-ukraińska wojna, określana eufemistycznie jako „ukraiński kryzys”, uwyraźniłapo raz kolejny fatalną niezdolność rosyjskiej warstwy ludzi wykształconych do pogodzenia się z ukraińską odrębnością kulturalną i polityczną. Jak pokazuje przedstawiona tutaj analiza, zdecydowana większość wykształconych Rosjan bezwładnie ulega pozbawionej skrupułów propagandzie Kremla, wspierając entuzjastycznie jego agresywną politykę wobec sąsiadów. Esej wyjaśnia historyczne i kulturalne źródła tego zjawiska, sugerując, że tak zwany „ukraiński kryzys” jest w istocie przejawem i dramatycznym skutkiem coraz ostrzejszego kryzysu rosyjskiej tożsamości.

The ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war euphemistically defined as the “Ukrainian crisis”, brought to the fore, once again, a striking inability of the Russian cultured and educated stratum to come to terms with Ukraine’s cultural distinctness and political sovereignty, and to withstand soberly the unscrupulous propaganda of the Kremlin regime. The paper examines reaction of Russian intelligentsia to what they perceive as the “Ukrainian crisis” and searches for historicaland cultural roots of what is in fact a profound crisis of Russian identity and nationhood.
