The UVO was a group of Ukrainian veterans who covertly planned on continuing fighting the Polish through a number of different tactics.
Strictly made up of former military men a rigid military style structure was installed by the leader Yevhen Konovalets, a former commander of the Sich Riflemen. The Sich had fought in World War I as well fighting against the Red Army forces and White Russian forces.
Konovalets was born in Galicia while it was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1891. He studied law in Lviv, where he organized a protest to create an all-Ukrainian university, during which a person was killed. He followed his radical political ideas to the Prosvita organization that sought to destroy the pro Russian sentiment felt by many in Ukraine, particularly the East. Their goals were establishing Ukrainian as the only state language and banning Russian language from all schools, maintaining a religious society, building the Ukrainian economy, spreading pro Ukrainian propaganda in the name of knowledge, growth and preserving what they called Ukrainian history. Konovalets’ drastic views quickly brought him into a leadership role in the student contingency of the group. Konovalets drew his ideology from the likes of Ivan Bobersky,

Who was a prominent teacher photographer and sports enthusiast, that publicly spoke about the Ukrainian race being superior to others and that Ukrainian bloodlines must be kept clean.

Myroslav Sichynsky also shaped Konovalets ideology. Sichynsky was another well-known Ukrainian nationalist, who was a key figure in speaking out against Poland, having assassinated the viceroy of Galicia, Andrzej Potocki.

Dmytro Dontsov was key as well, a writer, journalist and publisher whose ideas were the main driving point of the UVO ideology of anti-socialism and embracing extreme Ukrainian nationalism. He is well known for his writings on the failures of Ukrainians to achieve independence and pushed for the creation of a new era of “nationalism of the deed” and a “national will” which promoted that the use of violence was necessary to attain their goal. Dontsov looked to create soldiers with what he called “hot faith and stone heart” who was not afraid to use any means necessary to destroy any of Ukraine’s enemies. His emotional speeches and writing struck home with the youth who had been for years oppressed by one countries government after the other. His radical ideas led him to other nationalists and he became an admirer of both Hitler and Mussolini. Dontsov is credited with translating both Hitler’s Mein Kampf and Mussolini’s La Dottrina Del Fascismo, in doing so he hoped to spread the ideals of Nation above all else, even ethics. Dontsov did not mince words and was credited with a great deal of quotes such as:
“Jews are guilty, terribly guilty, because they helped consolidate Russian rule in Ukraine, but the Jew is not guilty of everything. Russian imperialism is guilty of everything. Only when Russia falls in Ukraine will we be able to settle the Jewish question in our country in a way that suits the interest of the Ukrainian people.”
