 This time, the officials had no choice but to grant approval, and a society of "Sich Sharpshooters" ("Sichovi Stril'tsi") was finally legalized in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria on 18 March 1913.The first such company was set up in Lviv, soon to be augmented by Ivan Chmola and his group.Legalization of Sich Sharpshooters gave impetus to other Ukrainian youth organizations, and the ranks of "Sich", "Sokil" and "Plast" subsequently swelled up all across Western Ukraine.
