Polish-Ukrainian Bulletin - Polish periodical representing the idea of Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation, published during the Second Polish Republic.

The main attention was paid to the positive aspects of Polish-Ukrainian cooperation in order to alleviate disputes between the two nations and develop new relations. Ukrainian publicists, in turn, were able to present their opinions on this cooperation from the Ukrainian side. Efforts were also made to influence National Socialist activists, especially of the younger generation, in order to change their position on the Ukrainian question. The last issue was published in January 1939. This was due to the fact that articles containing criticism of the policy of the Sanation authorities of the Second Republic toward the Ukrainian minority were increasingly appearing in the pages of the magazine. The "Polish-Ukrainian Bulletin" was replaced by the monthly "Problems of Eastern Europe."
The function of editor-in-chief was assumed by Włodzimierz Bączkowski. The authors of the articles were both Poles (e.g., Leon Wasilewski, Stanisław Łoś, Marceli Handelsman, Aleksander Bocheński, Adolf Maria Bocheński, Stanisław Paprocki, Józef Łobodowski, Piotr Dunin-Borkowski) and Ukrainians (e.g., Pavlo Szandruk, Piotr Dunin-Borkowski. Pavlo Shandruk, Bohdan Lepki, Stepan Baran, Volodymyr Doroshenko, Serhiy Khrutsky, Roman Smal-Stocky, Pavlo Kovzhun, Ivan Kedryn-Rudnytsky, Volodymyr Kubiyovych, Myron Korduba, among others). In addition to articles and columns on political issues, the magazine printed texts on Ukrainian culture, literature, art, or history. Translations of texts by well-known Ukrainian writers were also published.
The periodical began publishing in 1932 in Warsaw. It came out monthly, while from June 1933 it was published weekly. The initiators of the creation of the magazine were the Pilsudski circles, striving for rapprochement with the Ukrainians. It was also connected with the development of the Promethean movement, hence the "Polish-Ukrainian Bulletin" was financially and organizationally supported by Polish military intelligence.
