The authors set themselves the task of drawing attention to the problems of the past and their contemporary implications on the example of the Ukrainian community that once lived or still lives in the area of modern Galicia. This article is, therefore, an attempt to demonstrate those aspects of the history of the region that reveal the manifestations of cultural domination between different ethnic and national groups – all at a time when "the rest of the world" experienced colonialism. For this purpose, the policies of ever-changing political authorities in the region under study are analysed. Subsequently, the authors present their own perspective on contemporary socio-political and socio-cultural processes taking place in the region. The methods of creating the Ukrainian myth of Galicia (Halychyna) and discovering, adopting, and re-interpreting the past reality used by the Galician intellectuals in order to create a coherent and unifying canon of collective memory of the Ukrainian nation based on the Galician version of national identity are also discussed.
