Abstract

Adamovych S., The Halychyna Assembly. The issue of region and state unity (1990–1991) This article concerns itself with the complex relationship between the Communist Party and Soviet institutional structures, on one side, and the newly elected Ukra-inian national-democratic authority organs of Halychyna at the time of the breakup of the Soviet Union, on the other. The author states that the Halychyna Assembly, which came into existence in February of 1991, carried a unifying character and its activities were directed to help Ukraine achieve independence and mend regional cooperation among Western Ukrainian provinces. The research stresses the uni-fying efforts of Halychyna’s political elites and denies any separatist motives of their activities
