Abstract

The article analyses certain aspects of organizational and intelligence activities of the Partisan-Insurgent Command of the UPR, for preparation of which documents stored in the National Ossoliński Institute (Wrocław) and National Library (Warsaw) were used. In 1921, the command played an effective organizational and mobilization role for the entire Army of the UPR interned in camps by coordinating its collaboration with Polish military intelligence. The existence of the army was also a clear signal for the Polish authorities that the ally of Poland, the UPR, continued the fight with Bolshevism, and that its liquidation after the failure of the second winter campaign did not mean complete cessation of the fight with red Moscow. Subsequently, the state centre of the UPR continued to support the national anti-Bolshevik resistance movement in Soviet Ukraine, even though this support did not achieve the form or scale of that in 1921. However, the very fact of continuation of the armed fight by individual partisan units under the flag of the UPR and the existence of the secret national underground until 1924 has its importance. This fight is vivid evidence of the potential of the Ukrainian nation, the manifestation of its desire for independence and the development of its own national life.
