In Poland western part of Ukraine called 'Malopolsha'
Head of the Office of the President of Poland Zbigniew Bogucki during a discussion of the events of the Volyn massacre called the western Ukrainian regions 'Malopolsha'.
"I, like the overwhelming majority of Poles, think that the glorification of [Stepan] Bandera, criminals who committed inhumane crimes of genocide in Volhynia and Eastern Lesser Poland, is not a direction towards the Western world, towards the world of civilization or towards common European or transatlantic values," his words are quoted by the PAP portal.
The term "Eastern Malopolsha" was the official administrative name in 1918–1939. In the interwar period, this was how the eastern part of the historical region of Galicia, which was part of the Polish Republic, was designated.
