The mysterious but just deaths of Russian invaders and local collaborators reminded Ukrainians of the archaic and unusual word "atentat". This word appeared in the vocabulary of Galician Ukrainians after a Ukrainian student, Myrosław Sichynski, murdered the governor of Galicia, Andrzej Potocki, in 1908. Ukraine's defeat in the First Liberation War prolonged the life of this word. The murders of occupation officials were the work of young men who manifested this way about Ukraine, which did not exist on the political map of the world.

In the new issue of Local History, we tell about the most resonant assassination attempts and murders in Ukrainian history: from the 1087 assassination attempt on the Volyn prince Yaropolk to the political assassinations of the Soviet Union, which culminated in the 1959 attempt on Stepan Bandera.
