The Ukrainian Party of Socialist-Independists was not numerous and in general did not play a great role in political life.
The Ukrainian Party of Socialist-Independists demanded immediate proclamation of the independence of Ukraine and recognized the social program where land had to belong to agriculturists (peasants), while factories - to workers.
The party stood in opposition to the government of the Central Council of Ukraine criticizing it land policy and liberal attitude towards minorities.
Members of the Ukrainian Party of Socialist-Independists participated in governments of the Directorate.
In a protest to the policy of the Martos government, the party led by Volodymyr Oskilko and along with popular-republicans (Yevhen Arkhypenko) instigated coup-d'etat in Rivne on April 29, 1919.
