Abstract

The cornerstone of the renewed concept of a national-democratic revolution in Western Ukrainian lands is its perception and design in the context of the general continental process of the European peoples’ struggle for their national liberation and state selfaffirmation during the World War I. Within the framework of this approach, the lower boundary of the process (national liberation struggle in the Western Ukrainian lands) and the phenomenon (November 1918, the national democratic revolution) should not only be united, but also mutually determined. Moreover, they should be considered in the context of continuity and subsequence. Hence, in this case the possible use of the term “National democratic revolution in the Western Ukrainian lands 1914–1923” is being analyzed in the article. On one hand, thanks to such an interpretation of the chronological boundaries of the national-democratic revolution in the Western Ukrainian lands, logically there arises the need to clarify the boundaries of the entire Ukrainian revolution of the second or third decade of the 20th century. First of all, because its constituent and integral part is the revolutionary events in the Western Ukrainian lands of this period. On the other hand, it is these events that extend the boundaries of the actual Ukrainian revolution on its national scale, and establish its paradigm as a national liberation, national-state, and community-unity one.
