The article reveals the peculiarities of the Process of Transition of the UPR Army soldiers interned in Poland, to civil status and their departure to Czechoslovakia and France during the 1920s. Because of the numerical reduction of internment camps, Ukrainian combatants faced the need to adapt to living conditions in their civil status and further socialise. Most of the UPR Army junior officers were well aware of the need to continue their studies, and in particular to obtain higher education in European universities, which enabled them to have a certain status in their host countries. In an effort to prepare to enter the higher schools of European countries, this category of the former military united into camp student communities. During 1922–1923, many of their members managed to enter Polish universities or go to study in Czechoslovakia, which opened up prospects for acquiring new professions and thus finding their place in life, getting well-paid jobs. Some Ukrainian public and charitable organisations functioning in Poland and Czechoslovakia rendered them significant assistance. The process of the camps’ termination in Kalisz and Szczypiorno was quite long, which afforded Ukrainian veterans an opportunity to develop adaptation mechanisms and adapt to independent life as political emigrants in Poland. In the new environment, the former internees did not stop communicating among themselves, forming public and combatant organisations. At the same time, a significant part of the former internees did not see further prospects while staying in Poland and preferred to relocate themselves in other European countries. Meeting their wishes, the Ukrainian Central Committee in Poland took care of organising their departure to France, which was used by a large part of the former internees.

Artykuł przedstawia główne kierunki pracy obozowych oddziałów „Związku Ukrainek” (grupy kobiece) w obozach internowanych ukraińskich żołnierzy Armii Ukraińskiej Republiki Ludowej w Polsce w latach 1921-1922. Ich członkowie opiekowali się przede wszystkim chorymi i niepełnosprawnymi żołnierzami a także kobietami i dziećmi. Dzięki wysiłkom organizacji kobiecych możliwe stało się złagodzenie sytuacji najsłabszych grup internowanych, a w szczególności – dzieci (niemowlęta i małe dzieci), którym zorganizowano minimalnie akceptowalne dla ich wieku wyżywienie, a także zapewniono całodzienną opiekę w wyspecjalizowanych placówkach utworzonych przez „Związek Ukraińskich Kobiet”. Wszystko to stało się możliwe dzięki pomocy organizacji charytatywnych, które nie szczędziły wydatków na cele charytatywne, każdorazowo niosąc pomoc kobietom i dzieciom przebywającym na stałe w obozach.

The article discusses the main activities of the units of the Union of Ukrainian Women in the internment camps for the UPR Army soldiers in Poland in the years 1921-1922. Most importantly, the members of the union nursed sick and disabled Ukrainian soldiers, as well as women and children. Thanks to their efforts, the living conditions of the most vulnerable camp residents (in particular, children, including infants and toddlers) were improved. For example, the Union of Ukrainian Women ensured a minimum nutrition supply for that group along with daycare in special institutions established by the union. All of this was possible thanks to the support of charity organizations, which spared no expense, always coming to the aid of women and children who permanently resided in the camps.
