==1917-1922==

After the [[February Revolution]] in Russia and the creation of the provisional government 1917 the Ukrainian nationalists assumed the control of many institutions and on April, 3 2017 (Gergorian calender) they constituted the National Council or Central Rada, while Bolshevik groups created the Soviets of Soldiers and Workers. The Rada requested full autonomy on April 26. On July 13, with the nationalists growing stronger and stronger, it was proclaimed the autonomous territory of Ukraine within Russia and a provisional government was formed. The Russian government ([[Kerensky regime]]) sent delegates to negotiate the future status, but no agreement had been reached when the Bolsheviks took the power. The Rada refused to recognize the Soviet government and on November 20, 1917 it was proclaimed the Ukrainian Peoples Republic with the governments of Kiev, Podolia, Volinia, Chernigov, Poltava, Karkov, Yekaterinoslav, Kerson and Tauride (Zaporozhye). The yellow and blue flag was adopted on December 29, 1917.

Soviet Republic of Ukraine (December 1917): On December 23 the Bolsheviks took Karkov in eastern Ukraine. They also controlled Shmerinka in the west. The first Congress of all the Soviets of Ukraine gathered in Karkov on December 12, 1917 and decided the establishment of the formally proclaimed Soviet Republic on December 25 (Ukrainian Peoples Republic of the Soviets of Workers and Peasants, or Soviet Federal Republic of Ukraine or Soviet Peoples Republic of Ukraine) that had as its capital Karkov. The Soviet Republic encompassed theoretically all the Soviets of Ukraine, each one having established their own republic. It subsisted until May 1918. It used red flag with the national flag in the canton, adopted at the beginning of January 1918. In this month Yekaterisnoslav was occupied. In February 2018 the Bolshevik forces entered in Kiev, but the arrival of German forces (March) forced them to vacate it, losing practically all Ukraine. The Republic of Donetzk-Krivorog was established simultaneously with capital in Karkov, probably as one of the constituent subrepublics.

On December 17, 1917 [[Lenin]] recognized the Republic. France also recognized in December, and in January England recognized it. Nevertheless the Ukrainian government declared that its aim was a federation of republics emerged from the ancient Russian Empire.

The Bolsheviks of the Soviet Republic of Ukraine occupied Kiev (February 2, 2018) thanks to the fact that many Ukrainian forces changed sides and other refused to fight. The government of the Rada, chaired by Binechenko, that was negotiating a separate peace with the [[Central Powers]], was arrested. The Ukrainian forces concentrated in Pechek, south of Kiev, and the government of the Rada moved to Zhitomir under the presidency of Golubovich. On February 9, 1918 they signed the peace separately with Germany and Austria: Ukraine kept its frontiers and got the territory of Kholm. The German armies broke the ceasefire with Russia on February 18 and entered in Ukraine on February 19. Golubovich, who was in Zhitomir in a desperate situation due to the unstoppable Bolshevik advance, requested help from Germany (February 19). The German troops crossed the Dnieper on March 1 and advanced in all fronts and headed to Kiev that was occupied the following day. On March 3 Bolshevik Russia signed an armistice (that led to the peace of Brest-Litovsk on March 8) and the combats stopped in Russian territory but not in Ukraine. The [[Treaty of Brest-Litovsk]] assigned to Ukraine a part of [[Belorussia]] (8 March 8), that however lost part of Kholm. On March 12 practically all Ukraine was under Austrian or German control.

The President of the Rada, Golubovich, collaborated with the Germans but they favored the landowners and conservative classes while the government was [[Social democratic]]. As the anti-German agitation was increasing and the Rada was expressing more and more opposition to the occupation regime, the German Army performed a coup d'état. On April 29 the Parliament or Rada elected Michael Hrushewsky as first president of the Republic. The following day the German forces, with the collaboration of the Cossacks of the Hetman Skoropadsky, performed a coup d'état. Hrushevsky and other members of the Rada were jailed. Martial law was proclaimed. At the head of the government was put the Hetman Paulov Skoropadsky.

Reconstruction proceeded rapidly in the late 1940s and the 1950s, as the Soviets needed the food and raw materials of Ukraine.  Political repression of nationally conscious Ukrainians also intensified. The widespread acculturation and assimilation of the Soviet Jews by the 1930s led Stalin to consider the "Jewish question" as settled; he now viewed the Jews as a national rather than a religious group. With the influx of Jews into the Ukraine and Russia from Poland, the Baltic states, Bessarabia, and Bukovina following the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939, there followed an intensification of Jewish religious activity, and the reopening of many synagogues. However, political unrest preceding the creation of the state of Israel unleashed Stalin's massive repression against Jews during the "black years" of 1948-53. Suspected of Zionism and cosmopolitanism, Jews were systematically removed from positions of leadership in culture, science, medicine, politics, and economics. The anti-Semitic campaign ended only with the death of Stalin in March 1953.

see [[Ukrainian Famine]]

With Stalin's change of course in the late 1920s, however, Moscow's toleration of Ukrainian national identity came to an end. Systematic state terror of the 1930s destroyed Ukraine's writers, artists, and intellectuals; the Communist Party of Ukraine was purged of its "nationalist deviationists"; and the peasantry was crushed by means of collectivization, resulting in the [[Great Famine]] or "Holodomor" (Голодомор) of 1932-1933, which claimed some 3-7 million lives as crops failed and remaining food wtocks were forcibly removed by the government. Besides Ukraine, [[Kazakhstan]] and the Volga region were also hit by the famine. Stalin had full knowledge of the destructive force of the famine. It was a by-product of his war on the peasantry that began with collectivization and dekulakization and as an attempt to eradicate peasant culture in its entirety.  Ellman explains the causes for the excess deaths in rural areas of Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan during 1931-34 by dividing the causes into three groups: objective nonpolicy-related factors, like the drought of 1931 and poor weather in 1932; inadvertent result of policies with other objectives, like rapid industrialization, socialization of livestock, and neglected crop rotation patterns; and deaths caused intentionally by a starvation policy. The Communist leadership perceived famine not as a humanitarian catastrophe but as a means of [[class struggle]] and used starvation as a punishment tool to teach peasants to work well in the collective farms.<ref>Michael Ellman, "The Role of Leadership Perceptions and of Intent in the Soviet Famine of 1931-1934."

It was largely the same groups of individuals who were responsible for the mass killing operations during the civil war, collectivization, and the Great Terror. These groups were associated with Efim Georgievich Evdokimov (1891-1939) and operated in Ukraine during the civil war, in the North Caucasus in the 1920s, and in the Secret Operational Division within General State Political Administration (OGPU) in 1929-31. Evdokimov transferred into Communist Party administration in 1934, when he became Party secretary for North Caucasus Krai. But he appears to have continued advising Joseph Stalin and Nikolai Yezhov on security matters, and the latter relied on Evdokimov's former colleagues to carry out the mass killing operations that are known as the Great Terror in 1937-38.<ref>Stephen G.

On January 28, 2014 Assistant Secretary of State [[Victoria Nuland]] and US ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt discussed details of planned overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine.The two discussed which opposition officials would make up the new regime, agreeing that Arseniy Yatsenyuk should be in charge. Nuland referred to as “Yats”.  It was also agreed that someone “high profile” be brought in to "make this thing stick". That someone was Joe Biden.  Nuland made disparaging remarks about the [[EU]], and thought the [[UN]] would give better cover to make the new US-installed regime appear legitimate.  On February 6, an audio recording of the January 28 call between Nuland and Pyatt was leaked.

At the time the call leaked, media were quick to pounce on Nuland’s saying “F**k the EU” when Pyatt asked if the EU should be advised.  Member states of the EU, particularly [[France]] and [[Germany]], were deeply involved in negotiating a peaceful resolution to the civil strife.  But the United States acted alone without consultation of its allies, presenting them with a ''fait accompli''.  The comment dominated the headlines (Daily Beast,  2/6/14; BuzzFeed, 2/6/14; Atlantic, 2/6/14; Guardian, 2/6/14), while the evidence of US regime change efforts was downplayed. With the headline “Russia Claims US Is Meddling Over Ukraine,” the ''New York Times'' (2/6/14) put the facts of US involvement in the mouth of an official enemy, blunting their impact on the audience. ''The Times'' (2/6/14) later described the two officials as benignly “talking about the political crisis in Kiev” and sharing “their views of how it might be resolved.”

The participants of the picket led by people's deputies Oleg Lyashko, [[Andriy Parubiy]], Oleh Tyahnybok, Andriy Illienko planned to demand an urgent decision on the settlement of the conflict in the country.  On the morning of February 18, several thousand activists headed from the Maidan to the parliament building, the Verkhovna Rada.  But 100 meters from the parliament building, the path was blocked by trucks placed there by the police. In an effort to break through to the Verkhovna Rada, extremists of the Pravy Sector and "Maidan Self-Defense" began to throw stones and Molotov cocktails at the security forces. Cars caught fire. Police used [[tear gas]] and stun grenades to suppress the rioters. The peaceful action for stabilization in the country turned into massive bloody clashes.

====Investigation====

The official investigation by the coup regime was fabricated and stonewalled.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKMoq61IN02VsItd-uIZKtJKrPxA4z1Q8</ref>  The forensic investigations which were made public at the Maidan massacre trial revealed that on February 20, 2014 the absolute majority of the protesters were shot from side and back directions and from top to bottom directions, while videos and photos of the massacre showed them facing the Berkut special police force on the same ground level. In January 2015, a forensic ballistic examination conducted upon the request of prosecution concluded that bullets extracted from killed protesters did not match the bullet samples from any Kalashnikov assault rifle which members of the Berkut special police force were then armed. The findings of this computer-based ballistic examination and results of the other 40 ballistic examinations were reversed in a couple of ballistic examinations conducted manually in the very end of the investigation. Such unexplained reversals which contradicted other evidence, such as testimonies of wounded protesters and results of forensic medical examinations, suggested that the findings of the new examinations of bullets were unreliable and likely falsified. The forensic ballistic examinations also found that many protesters were killed on February 18–20 by hunting pellets and expanding hunting bullets, in particular, with caliber that did not match calibers of weapons used by the special police company, whose members were charged with killings these protesters.<ref> Katchanovski</ref>

Soon the security forces were withdrawn from the government quarter. This was taken advantage of by [[revolution]]ary militants, deciding not to wait for the expiration of their announced deadline.

The Maidan [[lawless]]ness gave rise to unprecedented crimes of neo-Nazis and various radicals – from the Pravy Sektor to the [[Ukrainian Ultras]] soccer hooligans.
