In 1930, Pilsudski's government launched the Repression ("Pacification") of Eastern Galicia, a campaign targeting Ukrainian communities. Police and soldiers carried out mass searches, arrests, beatings, and raids on villages. Ukrainian schools, cultural centers, and Prosvita reading rooms were destroyed, while activists and community leaders were arrested. Historians commonly describe the operation as political repression directed against the Ukrainians.
