Content edit
The book consists of three parts:
- the first part concerns history and politics;
- the second part is a review of the borders of Ukraine;
- the third part discusses the strategy of the Ukrainian liberation war.
The content of the book is replete with calls for anti-Jewish pogroms[1] and vandalism.[2]
Kolodzinskyi considered the need to encourage the broad masses in the struggle for statehood to be very important; create a single centralized nationalist government by eliminating all competitive governments and politicians; transform partisans detachments into a regular army; eliminate autocratic atamans. The doctrine foresaw the cleansing of Western Ukrainian lands from Poles and partly from other minorities that were hostile to Ukrainian independence, in particular Jews.
