This article analyzes the specifics of publishing projects of the Government of the West Ukrainian People’s Republic. These projects represented the state-building, political, legislative and organizational work of the State Secretariat. Publishing products were irregular and often had little circulation as well as limited amount of readers, because they were printed in the conditions of political divergence of the government, economic and social difficulties, and military confrontation. The publications of the State Secretariat were divided into three groups: official publications (bills), Ukrainian periodicals (magazines), various literature (calendars, books of songs, sociopolitical issues), which until now have not been properly highlighted in historiography. The author characterized format, content, and thematic orientation of the editions as well as their impact on the formation of the national outlook of the Ukrainian people and the development of the cultural and educational movement in post-war time.KeywordsWest Ukrainian People’s Republic, State Secretariat, publishing, Orest Kuzma, calendars, national-patriotic idea.
