Abstract
At the end of 1917, the main directions of the Polish social movement - conservative, nationalist, liberal-democratic and socialist - were presented in Ukraine. The ideological delineation of Polish political forces in Ukraine took place in the summer of 1917. The representatives of the liberal-democratic camp, the left-wing Socialists and the PPP-faction supported the policy of the Ukrainian Central Rada and became part of the Ukrainian government structures. The opposites in the basic ideological principles led to the exclusion from the participation of nationalist and conservative forces in the authorities. The Liberal Democrats campaigned for cooperation with the Ukrainian authorities and were represented in legislative and executive bodies of power. The leftist socialists, refusing to cooperate with the Ukrainian authorities after the Bolshevik coup, solidarized with the Bolsheviks on the basis of common class interests. The signing of the Brest peace led to the negative attitude of Polish political forces to it, through the condition of the accession of the Kholmshchyna and western Volhynia to Ukraine. The Conservatives and the nationalists protested, the Democrats and the PPP faction left the UCR, but continued to work in government structures to protect the interests of the Polish population. The coming to power of the conservative forces headed by Hetman P. Skoropadsky was supported by the Polish conservatives and the departure from the cooperation of the liberals. Provision of order in Ukraine with the help of German troops was positively perceived by the conservative circles - Polish landowners and bourgeoisie. The withdrawal of German troops from the Ukrainian lands after the defeat of Germany in the war, the armed struggle of the Russian Bolsheviks, the forces of the UNR and the army of Denikin ended with the establishment of the Bolshevik authorities in Ukraine, which resulted in the departure of most of the political and public figures.
