Workers' Movement and the National Question in Ukraine

"Bojcun explores the social democratic workers' movement in the Ukrainian provinces of the Russian Empire and its impact on the course of the 1917 Revolution. The focus here is on the Ukrainian, Jewish and Russian parties, the sections of the labour movement they built, the national inequality and oppression that they confronted and the political solutions they pursued. They are examined from their inception during Russia's first drive to industrialise to the First World War, the collapse of the Russian autocracy in February 1917, the overthrow of the Provisional Government in October and establishment of the Ukrainian People's Republic in Kyiv, to the military occupation of Ukraine by Germany and Austro-Hungary in the spring of 1918"--
