Abstract

The article describes the process of formation of Ukrainian-Hungarian relations in 1918–1991 through the activities of official representative offices in the countries of destination. The peculiarities of the initiation and development of Ukrainian-Hungarian relations in the 20th century were defined as the stay of Hungary in 1918 as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Ukraine from 1922 to the restoration of its state independence in 1991 –  within the "Soviet empire" of the USSR. The attempts to establish a diplomatic representation of the UNR in Budapest and the establishment of the official relations between Ukraine and Hungary as independent states in 1919 are highlighted. The Extraordinary Diplomatic Mission of the UNR in Budapest, the last among the diplomatic establishments of the UNR, ceased its activities. During its work, the authorities in Hungary were being changed repeatedly; however, the Ukrainian representation retained its powers until May 1924. The forms of representations of Ukraine in Hungary and Hungary in Ukraine were defined: trade missions, diplomatic representations and consular offices, rehabilitation missions. The achievements of the modern Ukrainian and foreign historiography in the study of the history of the formation of Ukrainian-Hungarian relations are taken into account. The directions of activity of the Consulate General of the Hungarian People’s Republic in Kiev in 1969–1991 are considered. The role of Hungarian and Ukrainian diplomats in the preparation of the official recognition of Ukraine by Hungary in 1991 and the launch of a new stage of Ukrainian-Hungarian relations are highlighted. The archival information from the Ukrainian, Hungarian and Austrian archives was used in article. The personal contribution of diplomats (Y.Forgach, V.Printsiga, M.Galagan, V.Sikevich, A.Paldy, D.Tkach, etc.) in the development of the activity of representations in 1918–1991 is considered.
