From Autonomy to Independence – Attempts for the Establishment of Ukrainian Statehood

Beata Varga

Abstract


This text analyzes two attempts aimed at the establishment of a unified and independent Ukrainian state. As regards contemporary Ukranian historiography and political authorities, they consider present day Ukraine to be the direct successor of the 17th century ”Cossack state” and the 1917-20 Ukrainian People’s Republic. A similarity was apparent in both historical situations in the sense that beyond the unfavourable political environment, internal dividedness stood as an obstacle to the creation of unity and self-sufficiency.


Keywords


Ukrainian statehood, Treaty of Pereyaslav, Ukranian People’s Republic, The Ukrainian Hetmanate, Directorate of Ukraine
