Background. The studied period for the territory of Eastern Galicia was a time of struggle for self-determination and search for ways to develop Ukrainian education and science. Ukrainian student associations should be active participants in all political, socio-economic and cultural processes of the Eastern Galician lands, especially during the period when these territories were part of the Republic of Poland. Especially today, it is necessary to study the peculiarities of the cooperation of emigrant students with members of Ukrainian societies that remained on Ukrainian territory and to study the experience of students' national and cultural activities.
Methods. Reviewing the periodical and taking into account the challenges of the researched period, it was important to adhere to the principle of objectivity, especially when analyzing posts with political content or editors' opinions, to use a number of methods, including general scientific, interdisciplinary and actually historical.
Results. The article analyzes the activity of Ukrainian student associations of Eastern Galicia in the interwar period (1918-1939) using the magazine «Ukrainian Student», which was published in Prague by students from Naddniprianshchyna. The journal described a series of events, the research of which helps to assess the contribution of Ukrainian students of Eastern Galicia to national and economic development, the formation of the Ukrainian University, and the cultural, educational and sports life of Ukrainian lands. Based on the analysis of the articles in the magazine, the cooperation of Ukrainian student societies in international affairs and the promotion of the idea for the European community that it is necessary to support the Ukrainian people in their desire to declare independence were investigated. Problems were found that hindered Ukrainian students of Eastern Galicia and their representatives in emigration. These were: lack of funds, lack of housing, persecution by the authorities and many ideological directions. We also see how the intelligentsia cooperated with, helped and supported the Ukrainian students of Eastern Galicia. The article shows the importance of student congresses in the struggle for the creation of the Ukrainian state, as well as for the search for material aid and allies.
Conclusion. The important place of Ukrainian student societies of Eastern Galicia in the interwar period (1918-1939) in the national and cultural life of Ukrainians is shown.
