France et Ukraine ('France and Ukraine') was a French language socio-political broadsheet weekly newspaper published from Paris between January and May 1920.[1][2][3][4][5] The first issue was published on 9 January 1920, the last (14th) being published on 7 May 1920.[1]
The initiative to launch the newspaper was taken by the Circle for French-Ukrainian Studies, a group founded in July 1918 by F. Savchenko , and the Extraordinary Diplomatic Mission of the Ukrainian People's Republic in France.[1] France et Ukraine was sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ukrainian People's Republic, whose subsidies constituted the main revenue source for the publication.[1][6] The newspaper reached a circulation of around 8,000.[1] Savtchenko served as editor-in-chief, whilst the managing editors were M. Houtain, E. Houtain and H. Bontoux.[1] The editorial office was located on Rue de Bassano in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.[1] It shared its offices with Bulletin d’informations du Bureau Ukrainien de Presse, L’Europe orientale and Ukrayinska Respublika.[1]
The publication advocated for strengthening Franco-Ukrainian relations, with emphasis on the notion of supporting Ukraine as constituent of the cordon sanitaire against Bolshevism.[1] Contributors to France et Ukraine included Savchenko, M. Kouchnire, V. Tymoshenko, Andre Serbinenko, Symon Petliura, I. Borshak , B. Boutenko , Michel Rudnitsky , Serge Cheloukhine , A.Loukachevitch, K. Vychevitch, Georges Bienaimé, Georges Géo-Gérald (French parliamentarian), Armand Sylvestre, Roland Derbly, Albert de Gobart, H. de Harzy, Helie d’Arnaval, Charles Dubreuil, Francois Tessier and Philippe de Caldhilhe.[1] N. Loutchinsky was the correspondent of the newspaper in Rome.[1]
The newspaper closed down due to the financial difficulties of the Extraordinary Diplomatic Mission of the Ukrainian People's Republic in France.[1] There was a long gap between the 13th issue, published on 2 April 1920, and the 14th, published on 7 May 1920.[1]
