Documents on Activities of the Ukrainian Community in Moscow upon the 1917 Bolshevik Coup

Abstract

The article deals with an attempt of the Ukrainian community in Moscow to proceed its activities upon the seizure of power by Bolsheviks in November 1917. In response to the forced cessation of activities of the Moscow Military District (MMD)’s Ukrainian Military Council, Moscow Ukrainians formed the Council of the Ukrainian Colony in Moscow, which became the official representation of the UPR’s Government. There is a publication of the Colony’s archive documents with suggestions for the 1918 Ukrainian-Russian Peace Treaty. The article covers attempts of the People’s Commissariat of National Affairs of the RSFSR to take control of Ukrainian citizens.

Keywords
