Abstract

On its ninetieth anniversary the Ukrainian Revolution remains a matter of both historical and contemporary political controversy. This article challenges the predominant national and Soviet historical paradigms, including those of the left which have restricted its views of the revolution through the prism of Petrograd. The article analyses the Ukrainian Revolution as a distinctive process and re-asserts the vernacular socialist movement as posing a viable alternative which was universal in its objectives of social emancipation and national liberation. The experience of the “rebirth of Ukraine” during those tumultuous years brings into question previously accepted explanations of the fate not only of the Russian Revolution but the entire European Revolution.
