Jewhen Omeljanowytsch Petruschewytsch ( Ukrainian Євген Омелянович Петрушевич , Polish Eugeniusz Petruszewycz ; born June 3, 1863 in Busk , Galicia , today Ukraine ; † August 29, 1940 in Berlin ) was a lawyer and Ukrainian politician from Galicia. He was deputy chairman of the Ukrainian National Democratic Party (UNDP).
From 1907 to 1918 he was a member of the Austrian Reichsrat , deputy head of the Ukrainian Parliamentary Club and the Ukrainian Parliamentary Representation in Vienna (united all Ukrainian members of both houses in the Austrian Parliament ). In 1916 he replaced the previous chairman Kost Lewyzkyj on both posts. In 1910 Yevhen Petruschewytsch was also elected to the Galician state parliament.
After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary , on October 19, 1918, the Ukrainian Constituent Assembly in Lviv elected him chairman of the Ukrainian National Council, the provisional parliament of the newly founded West Ukrainian People's Republic , and thus the de facto head of state. After reunification with the Ukrainian People's Republic on January 22, 1919 and in view of the state crisis caused by the Polish occupation, the Ukrainian National Council merged the offices of its chairman and head of government on June 9, 1919 and Petrushevich was elected dictator of the western territory of the Ukrainian People's Republic .
