Russia Empire Total War
And the struggle for independenceThe outbreak of and the onset of hostilities between Russia and on 1, 1914, had immediate for the Ukrainian subjects of both powers. In the, Ukrainian publications and cultural organizations were directly suppressed and prominent figures arrested or exiled. As Russian forces advanced into in September, the retreating Austrians executed thousands for suspected pro-Russian sympathies. After occupying Galicia, tsarist authorities took steps toward its total incorporation into the Russian Empire. They prohibited the, closed down institutions, and prepared to liquidate the.
The Russification campaign was cut short by the Austrian reconquest in spring 1915. Western Ukraine, however, continued to be a theatre of military operations and suffered great depredation.The of February 1917 brought into power the, which promptly introduced and assembly and lifted the tsarist restrictions on minorities. National life in Ukraine quickened with the revival of a Ukrainian press and the formation of numerous cultural and professional associations, as well as political parties.
In March, on the of these new organizations, the (“Council”) was formed in Kiev as a Ukrainian representative body. In April the more broadly All-Ukrainian National Congress declared the Central Rada to be the highest national authority in Ukraine and elected the historian as its head. The stated goal of the Central Rada was territorial for Ukraine and the transformation of Russia into a democratic, federative republic. Although the Provisional Government recognized Ukraine’s right to autonomy and the Central Rada as a representative body, there were unresolved disputes over its territorial jurisdiction and political. Locally, especially in the Russified cities of eastern Ukraine, the Rada also had to compete with the increasingly radical soviets of workers’ and soldiers’ deputies, whose support in the Ukrainian population, however, was quite limited.Ukrainian-Russian relations deteriorated rapidly following the coup in Petrograd (now ) on November 7, 1917. The Central Rada refused to accept the new regime’s authority over Ukraine and on November 20 proclaimed the creation of the Ukrainian National Republic, though still in federation with the new democratic Russia that was expected to emerge from the impending Assembly. The Bolsheviks, in turn, at the first All-Ukrainian Congress of Soviets, held in in December, declared Ukraine to be a Soviet republic and formed a rival government.
In January 1918 the Bolsheviks launched an offensive in the Left Bank and advanced on. The Central Rada, already engaged in peace negotiations with the, from whom it hoped for military assistance, proclaimed the total independence of Ukraine on January 22; on the same day, it passed a law establishing national autonomy for Ukraine’s Jewish, Russian, and Polish minorities. Almost immediately, however, the government had to evacuate to the Right Bank, as Soviet troops occupied Kiev. On February 9 Ukraine and the Central Powers signed the Peace Treaty of ( see ).

A -Austrian offensive dislodged the Bolsheviks from Kiev in early March, and the Rada government returned to the capital. In April the retreated from Ukraine. The socialist policies of the Ukrainian, especially land nationalization, conflicted with the interest of the German high command to maximize the production of foodstuffs for its own war effort. On April 29, 1918, the Rada government was overthrown in a German-supported coup by Gen. Pavlo Skoropadsky. A descendant of an 18th-century Cossack, Skoropadsky assumed the title “hetman of Ukraine” (which he intended to become hereditary), all laws passed by the Rada, and established a regime that relied on the support of landowners and the largely Russian urban middle class.
The new government aroused intense opposition among Ukrainian nationalists, socialists, and the peasantry. To coordinate political opposition, the Ukrainian National Union was formed by the main parties and civic organizations, while the peasants their hostility through rebellions and partisan warfare. The capitulation of and in November removed the main prop of Skoropadsky’s regime, and the Ukrainian National Union formed the Directory of the Ukrainian National Republic to prepare for his overthrow. In a bid for the support of the Allied powers, Skoropadsky announced his intention to join in federation with a future non-Bolshevik Russia, triggering an uprising. On December 14 the hetman, and the Directory assumed control of government in Kiev.Even before the collapse of Austria-Hungary, an assembly of western Ukrainian political leaders in October 1918 declared the formation of a state, shortly thereafter named the Western Ukrainian National Republic, embracing Galicia, northern, and Transcarpathia.
On November 1 Ukrainian forces occupied. This act touched off a with the Poles, who were themselves resolved to incorporate Galicia into a reconstituted Polish state. The Poles took Lviv on November 21, but most of Galicia remained under Ukrainian control, and the government, headed by Yevhen Petrushevych, transferred its seat to Stanyslaviv (now ). On January 22, 1919, an act of union of the two Ukrainian states was proclaimed in Kiev, but actual political was prevented by the ongoing hostilities. These ultimately took an unfavourable turn for the Ukrainians, and by late July the Poles were in full control of Galicia.
Petrushevych and his government evacuated to Right Bank Ukraine and in the autumn went into exile in, where they continued diplomatic efforts against recognition of the Polish occupation. In Kiev the Directory that had taken power in December 1918—initially headed by Volodymyr Vynnychenko and from February 1919 by, who was also the commander in chief—officially restored the Ukrainian National Republic and revived the legislation of the Central Rada. Its attempts to establish an effective administration and to cope with the mounting economic and social problems were stymied, however, by the increasingly chaotic domestic situation and a hostile foreign. As the peasants became restless and the army demoralized, partisan movements led by unruly chieftains (commonly known as otamany) escalated in scope and violence.
In addition, a substantial irregular force emerged under the command of the anarchist leader Makhno. In many places the government’s authority was or nonexistent. The, including, whose expeditionary force held, supported the, whose army was grouping around Gen. In southern Russia.As authority broke down in Ukraine, random violence increased. In particular, a ferocious wave of pogroms against the Jewish population left tens of thousands dead. The majority of the pogroms occurred in 1919, perpetrated by virtually all regular and irregular forces fighting in Ukraine—including Directory troops, the otamany, the White forces, and the Red Army—as well as civilians from both the peasant and landowning classes.The Bolsheviks had already launched a new offensive in eastern Ukraine in December 1918. In February 1919 they again seized Kiev.
The Directory moved to the Right Bank and continued the struggle. In May Denikin launched his campaign against the Bolsheviks in the Left Bank; his progress westward through Ukraine was marked by terror, restoration of gentry landownership, and the destruction of all of Ukrainian national life.
As the retreated yet again, Petlyura’s Ukrainian forces and Denikin’s White regiments both entered Kiev on August 31, though the Ukrainians soon withdrew to avoid overt hostilities. From September to December the Ukrainian army fought with Denikin but, losing ground, began a retreat northwestward into. There, confronted by the Poles in the west, the returning in the north, and the Whites in the south, the Ukrainian forces ceased regular military operations and turned to. In December Petlyura went to to seek outside support.
At the same time, the Bolsheviks were beating back Denikin’s forces, and on December 16 they recaptured Kiev. By February 1920 the Whites had been expelled from Ukrainian territory.Petlyura’s negotiations with the Polish government of culminated in the Treaty of Warsaw, signed in April 1920; by the terms of the agreement, in return for Polish military aid, Petlyura surrendered Ukraine’s claim to Galicia and western Volhynia. A Polish-Ukrainian campaign opened two days later, and on May 6 the joint forces occupied Kiev. A counteroffensive mounted by the Bolsheviks brought them to the outskirts of Warsaw in August. The tides of war turned again as the Polish and Ukrainian armies drove back the Soviets and reentered the.

Poland incorporated Galicia and western, together with smaller areas in the northwest. The lands east of the Polish border Soviet Ukraine. UkraineThe territories under Bolshevik control were formally organized as the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic (Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic S.S.R. from 1937). Under Bolshevik tutelage, the first All-Ukrainian Congress of Soviets in December 1917 had formed a Soviet government for Ukraine; the second, in March 1918, had declared Soviet Ukraine independent; and the third, in March 1919, had adopted Soviet Ukraine’s first.
These moves, however, were essentially a tactical response to the demonstrable challenge of rising Ukrainian. With the consolidation of Bolshevik rule, Soviet Ukraine progressively ceded to Russia its rights in such areas as. On December 30, 1922, the (U.S.S.R.)—a federation of, Ukraine, and the Transcaucasian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (S.F.S.R.)—was proclaimed. The first constitution for the new multinational federation was ratified in January 1924. Although the constituent republics retained the formal right of secession, their jurisdiction was limited to domestic affairs, while authority over foreign relations, the military, commerce, and transportation was vested in the Communist Party organs in.
In point of fact, after the defeat of the Bolsheviks’ opponents, paramount power was exercised over all levels of government, as over the military and the, by the Bolsheviks and their Communist Party apparatus ( see ).The itself brooked no to the principles of independence or federalism and remained a highly centralized entity. Thus, at its founding congress in Moscow in July 1918, the, or CP(B)U, proclaimed itself to be an part of a single Russian (after 1924, All-Union) Communist Party and subordinated to its congresses and central committee, despite the efforts of such national-minded Bolsheviks as to declare the CP(B)U an independent organization. As well as being subordinate to, the CP(B)U was overwhelmingly non-Ukrainian in ethnic composition: at the time of its founding, the membership of fewer than 5,000 was 7 percent Ukrainian. The Ukrainian component in the CP(B)U was strengthened in 1920 with the accession of the Borotbists, members of the “independist” and non-Bolshevik Ukrainian Communist Party that was formed in 1919. Still, in late 1920, Ukrainians constituted less than 20 percent of the CP(B)U’s membership. Largely alien in nationality and ideologically prepossessed in favour of the proletariat, the Bolsheviks enjoyed scant support in a population that was 80 percent Ukrainian, of which more than 90 percent were peasants.
The and UkrainizationTwo main tasks faced the Bolsheviks in the 1920s—to rebuild the economy and to conciliate the non-Russian nationalities. The policy of —based on nationalization of all enterprises and the forcible requisition of food—wreaked economic havoc. By drought, it contributed to a in 1921–22 that claimed a million lives in Ukraine. In 1921 Soviet leader introduced the (NEP), which partially restored private enterprise in and trade and replaced grain requisitions with a fixed tax and the right to dispose of the surplus on the. By 1927 the Ukrainian economy recovered to the prewar level, and segments of the population enjoyed a measure of prosperity.In parallel with the NEP, the Bolsheviks took steps to appease, and at the same time to penetrate, the non-Russian nationalities.
In 1923 a policy of “ indigenization” was announced, including the promotion of native languages in education and publishing, at the workplace, and in government; the fostering of national cultures; and the recruitment of cadres from the populations. In Ukraine this program inaugurated a decade of rapid Ukrainization and cultural efflorescence.
Within the CP(B)U itself, the proportion of Ukrainians in the rank-and-file membership exceeded 50 percent by the late 1920s. Enrollments in Ukrainian-language schools and the publication of Ukrainian books increased dramatically. Lively debates developed about the course of, in which the writer employed the slogan “Away from Moscow!” and urged a cultural orientation toward. An important factor in the national revival, despite antireligious and harassment, was the, which had gained a wide following among the Ukrainian intelligentsia and peasantry since its formation in 1921.Ukrainization was vigorously promoted by the “national communists,” including such Ukrainian Bolsheviks as Skrypnyk and Khvylovy, and especially by the former Borotbists, most prominently the people’s commissar of education, Oleksander Shumsky. The policy, however, encountered strong resistance from the non-Ukrainian leaders of the CP(B)U and party functionaries.
The national revival also aroused concern in Moscow, where was strengthening his grip over the party apparatus. In 1925 Stalin dispatched his trusted lieutenant to head the CP(B)U. Within a year, Kaganovich engineered a split among the “national communists,” Khvylovy’s recantation, and the expulsion of Shumsky and his followers from the party. Nevertheless, with Skrypnyk as the new commissar of education, Ukrainization continued to advance. Industrialization and collectivizationBy the end of the 1920s, Stalin had launched a new “revolution from above.” The introduction of his in 1928 marked the end of the NEP and the onset of breakneck. In Ukraine this led to rapid economic and social transformation.

By the outbreak of, industrial output had increased fourfold, the number of workers had tripled, and the had grown from 19 to 34 percent of the total. Though with a sectoral bias toward heavy industry and a regional concentration in the (Donbas) and central Dnieper area, Ukraine had undergone a remarkable industrial development.The cost of the accelerated industrialization was borne by the.
In 1928 the regime introduced special measures against the (arbitrarily defined “wealthy” peasants). These progressed from escalating taxes and grain-delivery quotas to dispossession of all and finally to the, by the mid-1930s, of some 100,000 families to. Wholesale began in 1929, under duress from party activists and under threat of economic sanctions. The percentage of farms collectivized rose from 9 to 65 percent from October 1929 to March 1930 and exceeded 90 percent by the end of 1935. Mass resistance to collectivization—in the form of revolts, slaughter of cattle, and destruction of machinery—was answered by the imposition of ever higher delivery quotas and confiscation of foodstuffs.
