The article examines the events associated with the murder of the governor of Galicia Andrzej Potoсky by lviv student Miroslav Sochinsky, and the process of his support by the Ukrainian population around the world. The source for researching the events connected with the history of Miroslav is the American magazine „Svoboda”, in which the events of the case were published in detail and actively. The magazine took an active part in supporting and defending M. Sochi in various ways. Numerous articles in „Svoboda” from 1908 to 1916 covered the thoughts of the American and European press, which was sympathetic to the student's act, and noted the deep internal political reasons that pushed the young man to risk his life for the sake of change. The magazine describes in detail the 46 chambers that were advertised on the front pages of Svoboda, about the distribution of petitions for pardon, which changed Miroslav's sentence from death to twenty years in prison, the activities of foundations that raised money for Miroslav, and so on. The conclusions indicate the scientific value of the American magazine „Svoboda” in studying the history of the aftermath of the assassination of Count A. Potocki and the process of unification of all concerned Ukrainians around the world, and the further formation of political views in the early twentieth century.
