Soborna Ukraïna

Soborna Ukraïna («Соборна Україна»; United Ukraine). A nationalist newspaper published in Vienna from October 1921 to May 1922. Financed by Wilhelm Habsburg-Lothringen (Vasyl Vyshyvany) and edited by Viktor Andriievsky, it was antisocialist, anti-Russian, anti-Polish, and anti-hetmanite. It advocated the primacy of national over class or party interests, the creation of a national church, absolute reliance on ‘our own [Ukrainian] forces,’ and an ‘aristocratic democracy’ (later changed to a ‘peasant national democracy’).
