Lecture 1: Тopic 6. Ukraine in 20th century.

The revival of the Ukrainian state in the early of the 20 th century.

The years of 1914 – 1918 were the years of the First World War. Germany and the Austrian Empire fought against Britain, France and Russian Empire. As a result of the World War I Russian and Austrian Empires got broken in a couple of independent states such as Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Finland, and Austria were created.

Ukraine got a chance to revive its own state. There were many attempts to build a sovereign (independent) Ukrainian state but they all failed. Ukraine went through a foreign occupation, the Civil war, changes of government and political systems in a very short period of time. And, in 1922 Ukraine became a part of Soviet Union (Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics ˗ USSR) as Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR).

USSR had its own Constitution and its own state symbols. Kharkov city was the first capital of the Ukrainian Soviet Republic. In 1934 the capital was transferred to Kiev.

Ukraine in the 20-s – 30-s of the 20 th century

The only party that had power in USSR was the Communist Party. The communists wanted to create a fair society ˗ socialism.

In the 20-s – 30-s of the 20th century a great change took place in Ukraine. The country held industrialization, built a lot of factories and power plants. Among them there were the largest in Europe; such as Kharkov Tractor Plant, Kramatorsk Machine-Building Tool Plant, Dnipro Water Power Plant (Dneproges), Krivoy Rog Metallurgical Plant.

In the area of humanities, there were opened a lot of new schools as well as higher education institutions and illiteracy was eliminated ten years later .

The socialist transformations were accompanied by mass violence against the Ukrainian people. To increase the production of agriculture the communist government created a new economic system that had a name ˗ the collectivization. By means of this system all the peasants’ land and their belongings were taken away in order to make a collective farms (kolkhoz). Many Ukrainian peasants did not want to work in a new system of collective farms.

The forceful creation of collective farms has meant that the agricultural production decreased dramatically in Ukraine. Then, the communist government took the entire annual crop by force and sold it for profit. As a result of this policy was a mass Famine (Great Famine, Holodomor). During the 1932-1933 years several millions people died of starvation. It was one of the greatest tragedies of Ukrainian history.

Ukraine during the Second World War

(1939 - 1945 years)

World War II began on September 1, 1939. On this day, Germany invaded Poland. Soon, Britain and France declared a war Germany.

In August 1939, the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact and agreed to divide Poland. As a result of this agreement Soviet Union annexed Western Ukraine and combined these territories to form the Ukrainian Soviet Republic. Also, in 1940, Soviet Union regained the part of Romania and added it to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic as a historical part of Ukraine. Thus, the historical parts of Ukraine were united into one republic.

On 22 June, 1941, Germany invaded Soviet Union. The Great Patriotic War, which was the part of the Second World War began. In 1941- 1942 years all of Ukraine was occupied by Nazi Germany. A brutal occupation regime was established. Ukrainians starved to death, thousands were killed by Nazi soldiers in their homes and on the streets. The youths were taken to work in Germany.

The Ukrainian people organized resistance to the invaders. Ukraine acted guerrilla groups who fought against the German army.

In 1943 -1944 years Ukraine was liberated from the occupation by the Soviet Army. On May 9, 1945 Nazi Germany surrendered after signing the German Instrument of Surrender. Since then, May, 9 is considered Victory Day.

The end of World War II is the fall of Japan, which was the ally of Nazi Germany. It happened on September 2, 1945.

Ukraine in the 1945-1990 years of the 20 th century

The crisis of the communist system in Soviet Union

The Ukrainian people quickly rebuilt their country's economy after the war. During the 40-s-60-s of the 20 th century Ukraine was actively developing the national economy by investing in science, technology, and new industries such as nuclear power, electronics and aerospace.

At the end of the 60-s, Soviet Union became one of the most powerful countries in the world. Ukraine was a republic of Soviet Union with a highly developed economy, science, education and health system.

Usually, economical and cultural growth of a country requires constant adjusting of policies and the implementation of democratic reforms according to changes in the economy and society. It is necessary for country’s further development.

However, the leaders of Soviet Union, who led the country in those years, failed to carry out these reforms. The political system of USSR slowed down the development of society, the country had a crisis of the communist system. The crisis affected all spheres of social life. People no longer trusted the Communist Party and the Soviet government.

In 1985, democratic reforms in the Soviet Union begun. They were called “Perestroika” (Reconstraction). The leader of "Perestroika" was Mikhail Gorbachev. In the second half of the 80-s, the country began to develop a market economy, new political parties appeared, and the government reduced control over society.

But "Perestroika" did not improve the lives of people. At the end of the 80-s years of the 20 th century the economic crisis in Soviet Union got deeper.

On April 26, 1986, an accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant occurred. The results of the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant were devastating for people and for the economy. The part of the territory of the country (about 3,000 sq km) became life-threatening. The inhabitants of this region were moved to other regions and cities of Ukraine. The Chernobyl accident hit hard the already weakened economy of the Soviet Union and further increased mistrust of the government.

The crisis of the communist system led to the disintegration of Soviet Union. The Soviet republics created their own independent states and left the union.
