The article is devoted to the examination of the work of the three priests who before the revolution were involved in the activities of the Union of the Russian People, the All-Russian National Union and Kiev Club of the Russian Nationalists, and in 1917 joined the Ukrainian camp: Archbishops Alexiy (Dorotnitsyn), Agapit (Vishnevsky) and Archpriest Nestor (Sharaevsky). The author of the article tries to find the answer to the question what circumstances and motives made them to transfer from Russian to Ukrainian nationalists. He comes to the conclusion that Alexiy and Agapit found themselves in the Ukrainian movement exclusively due to conjunctural reasons, and only Sharaevsky was enough sincere and went through certain ideological evolution, though with him the career motives also predominated.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the publicism on the Polish issue of the three West Russian intellectuals – M.O. Koyalovich, A.S. Budilovich and P.A. Kulakovsky. Publicists expressed their views on all the aspects of the Polish question: the reasons for the division of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the debates on the historical and cultural affiliation of the Western Province, granting of autonomy to the Kingdom of Poland, assessment of the experience of solving the Polish question by Austria-Hungary and Germany, participation of the Poles in the First Russian Revolution of 1905–1907. The publicists were convinced that the fall of Poland was the natural result of its historical development, and Russia was not at fault for the Polish destiny. The territories of former Old Russian principalities, incorporated into the Empire, were part of the Russian and not the Polish world. They believed that the Poles had no rights to Western Russia. At the same time, they draw the society’s attention to the existence of the Russian-Polish conflict in the region and its topicality. Publicists argued that Poland’s autonomy would only lead to another Polish rebellion. According to them, Polish autonomy in Galicia demonstrated the true attitude towards the Russian people. A similar situation would be in the Western Province if the Poles could actively pursued the polonization of the Eastern Slavs in the region. Budilovich and Kulakovsky were convinced that the revolution of 1905–1907 was only an instrument of the Poles in achieving their cherished goal – the restoration of the Commonwealth within the borders of 1772.
