There has long been a need for a biography of Simon Petliura. In the 26 years since his untimely violent death, there have been a few articles and books, more or less, covering individual episodes in the life of this great son of the Ukrainian people. However, we have not yet been able to record, even briefly, the course of Simon Vasylovych's entire life and work. And at the same time, new events are coming, posing us with the problems that he fought to solve and for which he died. Knowledge of the past helps prevent mistakes in the future. The purpose of this work is to fill this gap in our literature at least a little bit.
