Later numerous graduates of the Academy joined the Ukrainian People's Army such as Mykola Yunakiv.

After the revolution in Russia he returned to Ukraine, where in 1918 he joined the armed forces of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UNR).

In 1920, after UNR leader Symon Petliura's alliance with Poland, he became the commanding officer of the regiment-sized Ukrainian 6th Sich Rifle Infantry Division of the 2nd Polish Army under General Antoni Listowski.

Bezruchko is seen by journalists and historians as a symbol of "Polish-Ukrainian brotherhood in the common struggle against the communist threat.
