The purpose is to attempt to analyze the socio-political development and military situation in the Volyn area during the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917—1921.
The research methodology is based on the use of general scientific and specifically historical research methods, including problemchronological, synchronous, diachronic, comparative-historical, etc.
The scientific novelty. An attempt is made to summarize the events of the Ukrainian revolution on the territory of Volyn in the context of the national and international situation.
Conclusions. During 1917—1921, Volyn, like all of Ukraine, experienced revolutionary upheavals. During the time of administration by the Russian Provisional Government, the people of Volyn felt the rise of national consciousness in the general revolutionary wave, formed the structures of the national movement, and undertook the democratization and Ukrainization of social and political life. In November 1917, Volyn, as a part of the Ukrainian People’s Republic, almost immediately fell into the vortex of the first Bolshevik-Ukrainian war. Also, the front of World War I ran through the region, which certainly left its mark. The outermost west of Volyn continued to be under the control of the Austrians until November 1918. In 1919, it became one of the epicenters of the Ukrainian Revolution, where significant events took place (including V. Oskilko’s coup d’etat attempt, O. Volokh’s theft of the state treasury, the Liubar Declaration, etc.). Shortly, Volyn became the place of the last chord of the Ukrainian revolution — the 2nd Winter Campaign of the Ukrainian People’s Republic Army.
