Life
Opanas Andrijewskyj was born in the Uman district in what is now the Ukrainian Cherkassy Oblast . He graduated from the " Demidov Legal Lyceum " in Yaroslavl in 1906 and then occupied himself with scientific work for some time before he headed a law firm in Kiev , where he worked as a lawyer and later as a judge.
He was, among others, with Dmytro Antonowytsch , co-founder of the Revolutionary Ukrainian Party . In December 1917 he became a member of the Ukrainian Party of Social Democratic Independents ( Українська партія соціалістів-самостійників (УПСС) ) and he also became a member of the Ukrainian National-State Union, later the Ukrainian National Organizers of the State and was one of the Ukrainian National Organizers of the State (Hetmanat) under Pavlo Skoropadskyj . As a member of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Independent Party , he became a founding member of the Directory of the Ukrainian People's Republic , the executive body of the Ukrainian People's Republic , on the night of November 13-14, 1918 . End of April 1919, he supported, together with leading members of the Ukrainian Party of Socialist Independent of the failed coup of lieutenant general of the army of the Ukrainian People's Republic Volodymyr Oskilko ( Оскілко Володимир Пантелеймонович ; 1892-1926) against Symon Petliura and Andriy Makarenko , with the intention of Yevhen Petrushevych to be appointed Interim President of Ukraine. After the end of the rebellion, he left the board of directors on May 4, 1919. In June 1919 Andrijewskyj opposed the arrest and execution of Colonel of the Ukrainian People's Army Petro Bolbotschan ( Петро Федорович Болбочан ; 1883–1919), who was accused of being passive and cooperating with the Bolsheviks with the Ukrainian government and for participating in a large-scale conspiracy.
After the end of Ukrainian independence, he emigrated to Czechoslovakia . There he was professor of civil law in Prague and from 1935 to 1937 dean of the legal department at the Ukrainian Free University . In the 1920s he was a member of political exile organizations such as the Ukrainian Central Committee. Together with Fedir Schwez and Andrij Makarenko , he organized the Ukrainian National Rada in 1928/29 , which was intended as the central representative body of Ukrainian emigrants. At the end of the 1930s, Andrijewskyj moved to Austria. Here he died in Spittal an der Drau in Carinthia in 1955 and was buried in the cemetery of Edling , a cadastral community of Spittal. After his grave was about to be leveled in 2005, it was restored. On March 22, 1994, the Ambassador of Ukraine to Austria Yuri Hnatkewytsch visited his grave.
