Ukrainization of Army in 1917 as a Result of the National Policy of the Russian Empire
The article focuses on the policy of the Russian empire implemented towards the Ukrainian national movement, particularly Valujev and Emsk's orders, and on how they promoted the negative mood in Ukrainian society. Emigration of many Ukrainian leaders to Galicia due to censorship in the Russian empire provoked the Ukrainization of army after the February revolution of 1917. Ukrainization was a massive and versatile movement. Ukrainian separatism, which was prohibited and pushed underground, became liberal during revolution and drew masses of people.
