The purpose of the research is to analyze the main theses of Slovakia's ideological and propaganda preparation for the war against the USSR and to evaluate the effectiveness of this training. The methodology of the research is based on the principles of objectivity, historicism, as well as the use of methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization. The scientific novelty is that for the first time in the Ukrainian historiography of World War II the features of the propaganda-ideological support of the Slovak troops in Ukraine in 1941 were found out. The main theses of Slovak propaganda have been examined and its effectiveness has been evaluated on the basis of official and unofficial documents. The Conclusions. Unlike Germany's allies such as Romania and Finland, Slovakia had no territorial claims on the USSR. The only motive for participating in the war was a commitment to allied duty. Therefore, Slovakia's entry into the German-Soviet war required thorough propaganda and ideological training. It relied on several basic points: loyalty to allied duty to Germany; protection of the Slovak state against the aggressive plans of the Bolsheviks; protecting Christianity from atheistic Bolshevism; the liberation of the peoples of the USSR from under Bolshevik tyranny; nurturing the best of military traditions. Their effectiveness in the early stages of the war was quite high. This was facilitated by the military chaplains' activities, who enjoyed considerable authority among personnel. Also, the Slovak soldiers were able to see clear confirmation of some above-mentioned theses in the Ukrainian lands (the Soviet punitive bodies victims' mass graves, spoiled religious buildings, etc.). In many localities the Slovaks were hailed as the liberators. This had a strong impact on the soldiers' moral and psychological state. The army, at least in the initial stages of the war, managed to keep away from the common-law and pro-communist sentiments in Slovak society. This was facilitated not only by appropriate ideological and advocacy support, but also by the removal of unreliable elements enrolled during mobilization.

The purpose of the research – is to analyze the Ukrainian issue consideration on the basis of the publications in the newsapaper «Dilo», the interethnic relations in Europe in the format of the national minorities Congresses in the second half of the 1920--ies. The methodology of the research is based on the combination of historicism, the objectivity principles and a general scientific method, a special-historical method of the scientific work. The scientific novelty of the research is based on the fact that for the first time the Ukrainian representatives' composition at the National Minorities Congresses, the goals and the results have been researched; the content of discussions, the Ukrainian approaches to the solution of the national minorities problems in Europe in the second half of the 1920-ies have been also investigated. Conclusions. Consequently, the National Minorities Congresses, held annually in Geneva in the second half of the 1920-ies, became a discussion platform for negotiating a wide range of the national minorities problems in the inter-war Europe with the accedence of the League of Nations, which sent its representatives to participate in their discussions. The leaders of the Congress, J. Wilfan, E. Ammende and the others, tried to narrow the discussion of the problems of only those national minorities that were scattered in the European countries and enjoyed the support of their national powers. It was they who formed the agenda of Congresses, imposing debates on the implementation of the idea of the national and the cultural autonomy in various forms in European countries. But in Europe there were national minorities who, in separate countries (in their territories), lived compactly and in some regions constituted the majority without their national powers. The latter belonged to the Ukrainians whose representatives participated in the discussions of the above-mentioned issues. The Ukrainian position at the Congresses was represented by the UNDO representatives – the most influential Ukrainian political party in the 1920-ies (in different years, D. Levytskyi, M. Cherkavskyi, O. Levchanivskyi, D. Paliyiv, O. Maritschak, etc.) and the «Peasant Union» ( P. Vasilchuk in 1926 – 1927), as well as Bukovyna and Transcarpathia representatives. In 1925 – 1927 the Ukrainian representatives were in the status of the observers, and in the subsequent years – the sufficient participants. The Ukrainian delegation at the Congresses advocated broadening the agenda Congresses, discussing the national minorities issue in the context of implementing the principle of the national self-determination, and considering the situation of certain national minorities in the individual states. The Ukrainian delegates did not consider the Ukrainians to be a national minority in Poland, and the format of the Congress was viewed as an opportunity for the Ukrainian issue propaganda on the international scene.

The geopolitical changes in the international relations after the First World War, the new trends in European foreign policy, the increasing interest to the Ukrainian issue were the main reasons which intensified an interest of Ukrainian community to the issues of international policy. Founded in 1922 the Western Ukrainian Association of the League of Nations (WUALN) endeavored to facilitate the solution of the Ukrainian issue in the format of the LNUA, manifesting the idea of Ukrainian statehood renewal. Three periods can be defined in the association's activity: the first includes the period from January-June 1922; it is the time of organization's foundation and its entrance to the League of Nations Union of Associations (LNUA); the second (the main) period from the 8th of June 1922 to the 23rd of June 1923; it is the time of a full membership the WUALN in the Union; the third period from the 23rd of June to the 1st of July 1924 connected with the suspension of the WUALN's membership in the LNUA and the association's struggle for the rights' renewal in the organization. The WUALN did not recognized the Treaty of Versailles about the division of the Ukrainian lands between the Soviet Union, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia; the Riga Peace Treaty's ratifications of 1921 between Poland, the Soviet Union and the Ukrainian Republic included to the Soviet Union. The Association had the close contacts and cooperated with the WUNR's government in exile, political parties from the Western Ukraine: Ukrainian National Labor Party (UNLP), Ukrainian Radical Party (URP), Christian Social Party (CSP), Ukrainian Parliament Representation (UPR) and other organizations. The association coordinated actions on the international scene and its tactics with the WUNR's government in exile and E. Petruschevich personally; still the information about the misuses of the Polish government, the facts of violations from the Polish regime of the national minorities' rights, non-performance of the international obligations of the Polish state was obtained from the other civil and political organizations of the WUALN. The contradictions between UNR and WUNR governments influenced on the relations with the Ukrainian Association of the League of Nations (UALN) from Naddniprianschyna in 1919-1920-s; notwithstanding in the strategical lines of the "Ukrainian issue's" solution the both associations demonstrated solidarity and co-coordination that the congress of the LNUA demonstrated vividly in The Hague. However, the contacts with the members of Naddniprianschyna gradually activated after the temporary suspension of WUALN's activity in the LNUA in 1923. At that period the UALN often defended the WUALN's interests in the governing bodies of the LNUA, and the WUALN considered the variant of integration to the UALN on the autonomy rights. ; Западно-Украинское общество Лиги Наций (ЗУТЛН) - одна из ведущих эмиграционных организационных структур западно-украинских политических деятелей, созданных с целью расширения влияния на международном уровне эмигрантского правительства ЗУНР для решения проблемы государственного статуса Восточной Галиции.
