Deux Années en Ukraine (1917-1919): Avec une Carte de l'Ukraine

Description: This book offers a unique account of the tumultuous two-year period (1917-1919) in Ukraine, following the fall of the Russian Empire and the subsequent Ukrainian struggle for independence. The author, a French professor living in Kyiv at the time, provides a firsthand perspective on the political, social, and military events that unfolded during this pivotal era. The book begins by examining the establishment of the Ukrainian Central Rada and its attempts to assert Ukrainian autonomy amid the chaos of the Russian Revolution. It chronicles the Rada's efforts to negotiate with the Russian Provisional Government and their ultimate declaration of independence in January 1918. The author provides detailed insights into the complex relationships between the Rada, the Bolsheviks, and the German forces that occupied Ukraine during this time. The book then explores the establishment of the Ukrainian Hetmanate under Pavlo Skoropadsky and its German-backed regime. The author highlights the resistance to Skoropadsky's government, including the peasant uprisings and the formation of the Ukrainian Directory, led by Symon Petliura. The account culminates in the Directory's overthrow of Skoropadsky and the establishment of the Ukrainian People's Republic. The author's vivid descriptions and analysis of these events provide a valuable historical document for understanding this critical period in Ukrainian history, shedding light on the aspirations, struggles, and complexities of a nation striving for self-determination amidst the turmoil of revolution and war.
