The monograph is the first attempt in Russian historiography to analyze Bolshevik national policy with regard to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in the 1920s-1930s, referred to as «Ukrainization». It is presented against a wide social and political background as an element of complex maneuvering of the Soviet leadership both in Moscow and in the Ukraine. The book reveals the background, stages and consequences of this policy, tracing its link to the general course of the party and state leadership. It also demonstrates the attitude to the Bolshevik national policy among the Ukrainian population - intellectuals, officials, workers and farmers.
