The analysis of the author's theoretical heritage highlights his views on the composition and characteristics of key political actors in the struggle against the totalitarian Soviet regime, identifies his beliefs about the participation of Western countries in this process, proves the value and consistency of Stepan Bandera's predictions Ukraine by imperial Russia. It is proved that the characteristics and classification of the phases of the revolutionary liberation struggle, defined by Stepan Bandera, are formed consistently, taking into account the logic, theory and practice of conducting successful events of a similar type. Successful examples of a well-organized liberation struggle are considered, especially the Finnish experience of statehood and liberation from the USSR by their own national forces.
