Revolution, Ukrainization, Famine, Terror and the Struggle for Independence: Ukraine from the WWI till the Stalin Death (1914–1953)

The course will deal with the complex development of Ukrainian territories since the beginning of the WWI when the Ukrainian territories were situated mostly within the Russian and Austria-Hungarian Empires. After the Bolshevik revolution and the end of the WWI the Ukrainian territories became a part of new Soviet, Polish, Czechoslovakian and Romanian States. The course will focus particularly on Soviet Ukraine where the most Ukrainian population lived between Wars, and partly on Polish Ukraine as a cradle of Ukrainian radical national movement which during the WWII became a basis for the genesis of Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). The UPA led during the WWII and after it sharp fights with both Nazis and Soviet Bolsheviks. The complex development of interwar and wartime Ukraine is a key for understanding of today reality in Ukraine and the uneasy relations with Putin Russian and the Polish state.
