The preface situates Symon Petliura (1879–1926) among the great national leaders of history, comparing him to Washington, Garibaldi, and San Martín—figures who devoted their lives to the struggle for independence and the building of national statehood. Petliura is presented as a central figure of Ukraine’s fight for freedom, alongside Khmelnytskyi and Mazepa, embodying the continuity of Ukrainian leadership in the cause of national liberation. This émigré publication frames his legacy as a “symbol of our statehood” and as an enduring source of inspiration for future generations.
