Ridna Chata - a Ukrainian cultural and educational company, operating in Chełmszczyzna and Podlasie before the Second World War, founded in Chełm in 1920.

The company was active in a partial conspiracy (its activity was banned in 1921); it was only in 1922 that it obtained registration and permission to operate under the name Rusna Charitable Society "Ridna Chata" (Pусинське добродійне товариство «Р. X.»). It was created by the "Proswita" company in Lviv, which thus avoided the ban on its activities in areas outside of Eastern Galicia.

The headquarters of the Society was in Chełm, in its own building, which houses a semi-professional theater, a bookshop "Buh", a choir, a reading room. It has field offices (1927-90, 1930 - 125), which also conducts choirs, readings, libraries, amateur theaters, teaching Ukrainian, and cooperative activities. Most of Ridna Chata's branches were located in Wlodawa (33), Hrubieszow (32), Chełm and Tomaszów (20), and 2 to 6 subsidiaries in other districts. The main activists were: Antin Wasyńczuk, Paweł Wasyńczuk, Jakiw Wojtiuk, Semen Lubarski, Stepan Makiwka, Ivan Pasternak (first chairman of the Society), O. Roczniak, K. Soszynski.

At the end of the 1920s, the leadership of the Society intercepted Sel-Robu-Left activists with Stepan Makiwka, which gave the authorities an excuse to liquidate the "Ridna Chata" in 1930. <

The Society has greatly contributed to the broadening and enhancement of the Ukrainian national consciousness. After the defeat of Poland in 1939, the organization was recreated, and the number of "Ridna Hut" branches increased significantly. In the summer of 1940 the Ukrainian Educational Association was created instead of the Society (Українські Освітні Товариства, UOT). Bibliography
