The Anti-Alcohol Movement among Ukrainian peasants of Halychyna at the end of the 19th century and the 1930’s is analyzed in the article. To present a nar-rative on the topic, the author extensively employed field studies and memoirs, enabling readers to examine the problem from the perspective of contemporar-ies. This topic is highly relevant, particularly with the onset of the full-scale Rus-sian-Ukrainian war amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which has led to a noticeable increase in alcohol consumption in Ukraine.The research utilized general scientific and special scientific methods, includ-ing field research. The author aims to demonstrate various methods of combating alcohol addiction within rural communities in Halychyna and to evaluate their effectiveness. The author emphasizes the significant role of personal influence within the anti-alcohol movement, particularly the authority of leaders who pro-moted sobriety. At the end of the 19th century, Greek-Catholic priests took a lead-ing role in the anti-alcohol campaign. To minimize alcohol consumption, some priests resorted to various, at times quite uncompromising, measures.Later, during the interwar period, teachers, members of youth organizations, and public activists were also actively involved in the anti-alcohol movement. To promote sobriety and a healthy lifestyle, members of the rural intelligentsia arranged missions featuring symbolic burials of horilka, sobriety brotherhoods, local assemblies, and public plebiscites. Oaths of abstinence from alcohol proved to be effective in influencing religious peasants. Reading rooms were established to counteract korchmas, and in many cases, anti-alcohol actions were combined with measures aimed at supporting Ukrainian shops and products.The author analyzed local folklore regarding the achievements of the anti-al-cohol movement.
