 Ivan Franko: His Ideas and Scions / Ukrayinska Pravda
The early Ivan Franko was a social-democrat; however later, Franko adopted Ukrainian national-democratic views.  This is the view held by critics of “frankotization,” such as Bohdan Chervak in his article “Ivan Franko:  a social-democrat?”
Avoiding in-depth analyses of Franko’s political, social and economic views, I must note that Bohdan Chervak appears to be closest to the truth.  Chervak disagrees with “frankotization” whether by the SDPU(o), the Socialists, or the PSPU.  As for connection between Franko and “Our Ukraine,” Chervak delicately omits any commentary.
So according to Franko, social-democrats coming to power would be dangerous for the people, and this party should not be allowed to win in an election.

Fortunately for Ivan, his parents recognized his exceptional abilities, and so, at the age of six, they sent him to a school in the village of his mother’s brother, a literate peasant who taught Franko to read in just a few days.
Well, Franko’s loss was Ukrainian literature’s gain, for his three unsuccessful love affairs, especially the last one that haunted him for the rest of his life, gave rise to one of the most intensely lyrical and beautifully crafted cycles of poetry in Ukrainian, and possibly, even in world literature: Ziv’yale lystya: Withered Leaves.
In his talk, Franko still used the term Rusyn nation to refer to Halychyna, but he always maintained that a Ukrainian nation state, uniting Western Ukraine (Halychyna) that was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with Eastern Ukraine that was under the control of Russia, was imperative.
