Ukrainisation

1923–1933 · 20th century · Also known as Ukrainization

Ukrainisation was the Soviet policy of the 1920s and early 1930s that promoted the Ukrainian language and ethnic Ukrainians in the schools, press, culture and administration of the Ukrainian SSR. It was the Ukrainian form of korenizatsiia, the Bolshevik policy of rooting Soviet power among the non-Russian nationalities. Stalin reversed it from 1932–1933, and many of its leaders were purged; Mykola Skrypnyk took his own life in 1933.
