Dilo (Ukrainian: Діло) was the first Ukrainian daily newspaper founded on 1 January 1880 in Lviv.

Information

In 1880–1887 it was published twice and three times a week, and from 1888 onwards it was published daily. Due to persecution, the newspaper was forced to change its name: 1920 as Hromadska Dumka, Ukrainska Dumka, 1921 as Ukrainskyi Visnyk, 1922 as Hromadskyi Visnyk, Svoboda, and from 1922 onwards as Dilo. In September 1939, it ceased to exist due to the Bolshevik invasion of Lviv.

In 1881–1906, Dilo published the "Biblioteka naiznamenytishykh povistei" (74 volumes in total); in 1936–1939, the "Biblioteka “Dila”" (48 volumes).

Over the years, the newspaper was edited by Antin Horbachevsky, Ivan Belei, Oleksandr Borkovskyi, Volodymyr Okhrymovych, Yevhen Levytskyi, Yaroslav Vesolovskyi, Lonhyn Tsehelskyi, Vasyl Mudryi, Ivan Nimchuk, Volodymyr Bachynskyi, Dmytro Levytskyi, Vasyl Paneiko, Fed Fedortsiv, and Ivan L. Rudnytskyi.
