- The article deals with facts of cooperation of outstanding belles-lettres writers (S. Cherkassenko, B.-I. Antonych, A. Chailovskyi) and scientists (L. Biletskyi, K. Studynskyi, Ye. Pelenskyi) in a monthly magazine «The Native language» («Ridna Mova») which was issued in Poland by Ukrainian professor Ivan Ohiienko during the 30s of the XXth century. This cooperation facilitated its significance for emigration and its realization of creative potential. Among prominent authors, whose works were published in «The Native language» for the first three years of its existence one should mention Andrii Chaikovkyi (1857–1935) – Ukrainian writer (story collection «From Court-Room», stories «Oliunka», «In an Extraneous Nest», «Underage boy») (infant, juvenile), social activist, Doctor of Law, who came from Halychyna [5, p. 139; 16, p. 373]. In the first issue of the journal he published the address «Concerning our writer’s language», where he paid special attention to studying and scientific analysis of Ukrainian dialects as a source of language enrichment. Ivan Ohiienko tried to unite all the compatriots who lived beyond the borders of the Great Ukraine. The services of this prominent Ukrainian enlightener in this uniting people are difficult to overestimate. He remained true to himself as a professor-linguist, who was interested in the struggle for all-Ukrainian unitary literary language. Ohiienko’s letters exposed the difficulties he faced (lack of finance, lack of subscribers, obstacles caused by Polish authorities and «native» envious persons) as well as his heroic stoicism of the patriot in overcoming these difficulties. In his letters one can also find valuable and tactful advice and propositions, which he addressed to coworkers-sworn brothers, the detailed analysis of literary works of Ukrainian writers and literary critic thoughts on the pages of monthly «The Native language» («Ridna Mova»).
