It was established that these editions were published by various printing houses of Ukraine, mainly on request of the CentralInformation Bureau of the Directory of the Ukrainian People’s Republic. Attention has been drawn to the typographical particularities of this one-sheet editions as a type of printed editions of the era of the Ukrainian Revolution. Among one-sheet editions, that devoted to the Congress of Working People Ukraine, many copies with large sizes, which means that they were focused on the mass reader, for posting in crowded places.The directions of the state policy of Congress of Working People Ukraine, which were reflected in the leaflets of January 1919, are examined. One-sheet editions with texts of constitutional acts and laws adopted by the the Congress of Working People Ukraine («Universal of the The Congress of Working People Ukraine to the Ukrainian people», «Note of the The Congress of Working People Ukraine to the peoples to the World») are analyzed. Publicistic essays in the leaflets in which the Congress is mentioned are considered. The reaction of the leading parties of that time to the Congress activities through leaflets has been followed. The author comes to the conclusion that leaflets were part of the policy of government informing the population of the country and ensured the rapid dissemination of the Directory’s political program.
