In the second half of the twentieth century, under the rule of the Soviet regime in Ukraine, free science developed only among the Ukrainian diaspora. “Encyclopedia of Ukrainian Studies”, that was published during the 1950–1980’s under the auspices of the Shevchenko Scientific Society in French city of Sarcelles, is one of the greatest achievements of Ukrainian science. The purpose of the proposed article is to analyze the contribution of publicist, journalist and historian M. Demkovych-Dobrianskyi to the creation and editing of the “Encyclopedia of Ukrainian Studies”. The objectives of the proposed scientific publication are to present the biography of M. Demkovych- Dobrianskyi, and to characterize his collaboration with the editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia – Volodymyr Kubiyovych. As a result of the research, it was proved that M. Demkovych-Dobrianskyi took an active part in editing and reviewing particularly controversial articles- “slogans” concerning the history of the Second World War and the Ukrainian diaspora – “Ukrainian National Council in Lviv” (1941), “Ukrainian National Council in Kyiv” (1941), “Ukrainian National Council” (1947–1978), “Ukrainian People’s Republic in Exile”, “Ukrainian Union of State Farmers”, “Folksdeutsche”, “Ukrainian National State Union”, “Frank Hans” and others.
