	Polish and Ukrainian biographical notes on three clergy, that have been analysed in the article, allow us to draw some conclusions. Firstly, some gente Rutheni, natione Poloni were perceived by contemporary Ukrainians as acting against the Ruthenian/Ukrainian emancipation (Kuilovs’kyi, Sarnyts’kyi). Their biographical notes are  sually less elaborate in the Ukrainian scholarly encyclopaedias. What is more, their connections with Polish society are not comprehensively presented there. They are elaborately described in Polski słownik biograficzny though. The case of Sheptyts’kyi’ s biographical note is different. His figure is presented in detail in  Polish and Ukrainian encyclopaedias. Polish and Ukrainian notes on him highlight different facts. The Polish note shows complexity of his position and reactions, sometimes even underlining his staying in‑between two nations. Ukrainian notes underline his pro‑Ukrainian activity, avoiding talking on ambiguities of his behaviour and reactions.
	Comparison of Polish and Ukrainian biographic notes show ambiguity of national identities at the turn of the 20th century. It also helps to understand the differences in today’s perception of particular figures. It is especially relevant for gente Rutheni, natione Poloni group
