Bochkovsky was a member of the Foreign Delegation of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Labour Party, which belonged to the Second International. In 1933–1934 in Prague he headed the Committee of Support for Starving Ukraine and became the editor of the Bulletin "Hlad na Ukraine" (Famine in Ukraine). In 1933–1934 he published open letters to the former French prime-minister Edouard Herriot who ignored the Famine in Ukraine now often referred to as the Holodomor. Bochkovsky summed up his point of view in an essay entitled "Europa invertebrata" (Spineless Europe). In 1935 the Lviv newspaper "Dilo" (The Deed) carried his article "The Moral Inflation of Our Age," in which he generalized the moral lesson of the Holodomor for European civilization, pointing out its universal character. In January 1934 Bochkovsky wrote "Famine in Ukraine" for the use of the Ukrainian Press Bureau. Translations into Western languages were planned, but ultimately the project was not carried out.
