A selection of Ukrainian-language collaborating periodicals, published under the German occupation regime in Lviv (Eastern Galicia), Cracow (Western Galicia) and Wolyn (Volhynia) region. These periodicals replicated the German officialdom, were under German censorsship and propagated the doctrine of National Socialism.
In local matters, they typically appealed to Ukrainian population, asking to support the German-Nazi cause.
This record group is comprised of the periodicals Krakivski Visti, Lvivski Visti, and Wolyn, a group of Ukrainian collaborator newspapers during the Second World War. Initiated by the Ukrainian civil administration, the publication of Ukrainian-language newspapers in German-occupied Galicia, Lvivski Visti and Krakivski Visti began publication soon after the German Army invaded first Poland (Krakivski Visti) and then the USSR (Lvivski Visti). Expropriation of formerly-owned Jewish publishing houses became possible as a result of the process called Aryanization (transferring of Jewish property to non-Jewish individuals or organizations). Thus Jewish publishing houses in Lviv and Cracow were aryanized and given to the Ukrainian organizations, which allowed for the publication of periodicals such as these.
All periodicals are digitized.

Stanislaviv Word (Stanislavske Slovo) was a Ukrainian collaborationist periodical published in Stanislaviv (Stanislawow, Ivano – Frankivsk), Eastern Galicia under German occupation regime in the Second World War. This publication was somewhat an extension of the primary Ukrainian-language periodical, the Ukrainian Word (Ukrainske Slovo). Since 1943 it seemingly became a continuation if not a substitution for the Ukrainian Word.
Following the rules and provisions set up by the German administration of Eastern Galicia, the periodical emphasized priorities of a Ukrainian national cause, expressed vindictive to the Soviet stalinist regime and criticized Jews for pro-Soviet position and the allies who fought against Germany.
