Abstract

Kulish left his political activity, the place of the main mediator in the Galician-Dnipro relations in 1873 was taken by M. Drahomanov. However, from the very beginning there seemed to be a conflict with the “senior” leadership of the populist movement. It was based on their reluctance to print without any changes radical articles by representatives of the younger generation of People’s Party and M. Drahomanov as well. In fact, in the late 1870-ies, the Galician-Dnipro relations were on the verge of the rupture, and Dnipro region residents rejected the idea of creating their center in Lviv. Only thanks to I. Franko’s active uniting position, on the one hand and to M. Drahomanov, an indefatigable “arouser of souls”, on the other, did not allow the final break of all ties between the Austrian and Russian Ukraine. It was them since the late 1870-ies who were the main mediators in the Galician-Dniprorelationship, who determined their character and structure. During the 1880-ies in collaboration with M. Drahomanov, populists and Polish left movement I. Franko’s outlook formation actually took place. The conflict with Polish socialists on national grounds showed an unusually large weight of the idea to unite in the poet’s views.В статье проанализировано роль Ивана Франко в налаживании галицко-надднепрянских отношений в последней трети ХІХ в., раскрыты его взгляды на проблему единства украинского народа, формирования модерной украинской нации.
