Abstract

In this paper author deals with results from previous studies of the May Declaration (May 30, 1917), considering research published in 1990s and onwards. In addition, he pays more attention to statements of the First World War participants who are less known in historiography, thus shedding more light on the points of contradiction. Based on the examined resources, he provides an assessment of the May Declaration in the context of the war’s impact, the earlier standpoints of individual parties and subsequent interpretations.
