Abstract
The Union of Ukrainian Farmers (SUCH), was a Czechoslovak branch of the Ukrainian Union of farmers-etatists, which was a political organization supporting political claims of Pavel Skoropadsky, a pretender to the throne of Ukraine. The movement ideologists was Vjačeslav Lypynskyj, a Ukrainian historian and politician who in his books voiced his opinion that the independent Ukraine can only exist as a monarchy.
In an attmet to find allies in Czechoslovak political life, SUCh passed themselves at first as a professional agricultural organization. Its members would make contacts with the Ministry of Agriculture and the International Agrarian Bureau (MAB).
They, however, failed to get any support at all and were given almost no attention by the officials of Ministry and MAB The only organizations SUCh members did contacts with was the Union of Slavonic Agrarian Youth (SSAM). Within the 1920's Ukrainian students transfered from SUCH to SSAM and took part in couple of international meetings and other events.
In their public statements they presented views very close to the rhetoric of Czechoslovak agrarians which irritated Berlin's headquarters of Skoropadsky movement. In the late 1920s this cooperation was terminated too.
