The purpose of the article is to examine the features of the coverage of Czechoslovak aspects in the documents of the Ukrainian People's Republic embassy in Germany in 1919-1923.


The research methodology is based on the scientific research principles of historicism, systematicity, objectivity, historical and logical methods, and source criticism.


The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time in historical science, Czechoslovak plots in the documents of the Ukrainian People's Republic embassy in Germany in 1919–1923 are analyzed. Attention is focused on the analysis of the information potential of the documents from the point of view of the foreign policy of Czechoslovakia, relations between the Czechoslovak Republic and the Ukrainian People's Republic, in particular, the activities of its representatives in Prague and their interaction with the Ukrainian embassy in Germany, and some initiatives of Soviet Ukraine regarding the Czechoslovak Republic.


Conclusions. The documents of the Ukrainian mission in Germany are an important source for the history of the foreign policy activities of the Ukrainian People's Republic. A significant part of this set of documents touches on various issues of interaction between the Ukrainian People's Republic missions in Germany and Czechoslovakia, and the activities of Ukrainian representatives in Prague. The efforts of Bolshevik figures to organize Ukrainian emigration in Czechoslovakia are also highlighted. The internal political situation of the Czechoslovak Republic was practically not covered in the documents. Among the foreign policy measures of the Czechoslovak Republic, the reasons for the creation of the Little Entente, certain aspects of the attitude towards the Ukrainian People's Republic, the launch in 1921 of a campaign to support emigrants from the territories of the former tsarist empire, and the events of the beginning of the establishment of relations between Soviet Ukraine and Czechoslovakia in 1921 were revealed.
