Frank continued education at the Philosophy Faculty of the University of Lvov. Exactly one year after the first collection of works by Ivan Yakovlevich was arrested. Over the next 12 years, he was arrested twice more. Because Franco was not just a writer. His goal was to create a Ukrainian political nation.

As he wrote to Ivan Yakovlevich, "I held various stages of development, worked very different job, he served various directions, and even nations, because it had to work a lot, but our Ukrainian, and Polish, German and Russian. But everywhere and always, I had one thought – to serve the interests of my people and the universal progressive, humane ideas.
