details of death
At the beginning of World War I, on 03.09.1914, took the oath of c. 2,500 Ruthenian recruits to the Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen USR, fighting within Army of the Austro–Hungarian Monarchy.
At the end of the war, in view of the inevitable defeat of the Central Powers (i.e. Germany and Austria–Hungary), after the Emperor of Austria–Hungary, Charles I of Habsburg, on 16.10.1918 issued the Germ. Völkermanifest (pl. People Manifesto) „To My Faithful Austrian Peoples”, announcing the transformation of the empire into a federal state composed of autonomous „state organisms” of nationalities, the monarchy collapsed. Among others Ukrainians living in the Austro–Hungarian province and crown land of the Germ. Königreich Galizien und Lodomerien (Eng. Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria) established the self‐proclaimed West Ukrainian People's Republic ZURN. This fact, as well as the earlier separatist Treaty of Brest–Litovsk of 09.02.1918, signed between the Central Powers and Ukrainians without the participation of Poles, which in a secret clause provided for the separation of Eastern Galicia — together with Lviv and Przemyśl — where the Polish population constituted about 40%, from the Germ. Königreich Galizien und Lodomerien, as an autonomous crown land of the monarchy, led to the Polish–Ukrainian War of 1918‐1919.
On 01.11.1918, i.e. before the military campaigns of the war officially ended, took part in disarming the Austrian garrison in Stryi, c. 6 km from his parish village, conducting negotiations with its command (a colonel of Hungarian nationality).
Next became the president of the local Ukrainian national council that was part of ZURN.
On c. 18‐20.05.1919 however, it was the Polish troops that captured Stryi.
On 21.05.1919, detained by the Polish military police.
Next day executed, for „murder of Poles and weapons hoarding”.

Polish‐Ukrainian war of 1918‐1919: One of the wars for borders of the newly reborn Poland. At the end of 1918 on the former Austro‐Hungarian empire’s territory, based on the Ukrainian military units of the former Austro‐Hungarian army, Ukrainians waged war against Poland. In particular attempted to create foundation of an independent state and attacked Lviv. Thanks to heroic stance of Lviv inhabitants, in particular young generation of Poles — called since then Lviv eaglets — the city was recaptured by Poles and for a number of months successfully defended against furious Ukrainian attacks. In 1919 Poland — its newly created army — pushed Ukrainian forces far to the east and south, regaining control over its territory. (more on: en.wikipedia.orgClick to attempt to display webpage
