[edit] Zbrucz, Ukrainian POWs

Zbrucz is a Polish name. Many Ukrainian POWs died in Polish camps. There exists their monument in Kraków-Rakowiec, I believe. Xx236 14:17, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

It would be very interesting to have more information on the fate of Ukrainian POWs and Polish camps. --Lysy (talk) 14:27, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Plus a photo of the monument. And more references. And more information... :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 14:39, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry the file has been removed: Kraków (PAP) - na cmentarzu Rakowickim W Krakowie Premier RP Jerzy Buzek i Premier Ukrainy Wiktor Juszczenko odsłonili pomnik upamiętniający ukraińskich ... It happened Sept. the 1st, 2000. The best way is to visit the cemetary, but I'm a long way from Kraków. Xx236 13:18, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

It would be useful to standardize on a spelling - either Lviv or Lwow - both are used in the article

I'd be glad if someone could tell what Ukrainians think nowadays about Pilsudski's idea of intermarum ("Miedzymorze"). I consider it as sth what could save both Poland and Ukraine from Soviets, but the latter didn't trust... how does it look nowadays? Wasn't it a mistake? --213.199.192.226 19:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

It seems also that many Poles (the followers of Dmowski) were also opposed to Pilsudski's ideas, even though they would clearly have saved both countries much misery.

I would add that I've made a minor change to the article, providing the context of the majority of eastern Galicia's population having been Ukrainian (the 1910 Austrian census showed about 60% Ukrainians, 25% Poles, 10% Jews) even though the city of Lviv/Lwow itself was about 80% Polish and Jewish. Although there were large pockets of Polish settled areas the territory as a whole was mostly Ukrainan.


[edit] Location Eastern Galicia, Poland

It became Polish after victory over Western Ukraine. Therefore, it should either state Eastern Galicia and nothing else or Eastern Galicia, Western Ukrainian Republic/Poland. Thank you.
