In the public discourse of interwar Volyn, the celebration of memorable events of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917-1921 took an important place. The bearers of national ideology were politicians, military, public figures who did not accept Bolshevik rule and found themselves in political emigration in Poland. They formed the phenomenon of the state in exile, did not forget the traditions, kept the memory of the liberation struggle. Having settled in Volyn voivodeship, political emigrants intensified socio-political practices associated with the celebration of Ukrainian revolutionary events.The solemn church services, the academies devoted to the proclamation of independence of UNR by the 4thUniversal (Declaration), the Battle of Kruty, the Second Winter Campaign and the Bazar's heroes became traditional. The ordering of military graves, the construction of monuments and tombstones for deceased soldiers contributed to the preservation of the historical memory. After 1926, the priority in the annual commemoration belonged to the memorial services for Symon Petliura and to the academies devoted to his memory.
