Abstract

The peculiarities of the communication of captured Ukrainians from the tsarist army with citizens of German cities during the First World War were analyzed, which was initially characterized by mutual alienation, and even hostility, which soon transformed into a mutual friendly attitude. Such a change was due to the close interaction of residents of German cities and villages with captured Ukrainians, who actively traveled to various locations as part of work teams. Ukrainian activists from among the prisoners were most closely advanced to the life of the city society in the Ukrainian lands occupied by the Germans (in Pidlyash, Polissa and Volhynia), being there as soldiers of the German army with the aim of organizing its raids. Their most important achievement was the organization of Ukrainian schooling, which significantly weakened the influence of Russian ideology in this region. Instead, the merit of Ukrainian camp organizations in Germany was the formation of a positive vision of Ukrainians in the eyes of German society.
