СКАЧАТЬ counter-revolution. After several appeals to the Ukrainian Soviet government, in which he condemned his counter-revolutionary activities, the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee allowed him to return to his homeland for scientific work in 1924. Grushevsky was elected and became the academician of the Academy of Sciences of Ukranian SSR in 1924. He headed the historic section of Ukrainian History Branch of the Academy. In 1929 he was elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Since 1930, he worked in Moscow. It is remarkable that the most intense conflicts of 2014 between militants and law enforcement forces took place exactly on the Grushevsky street in Kiev.

The very first document was “the First Universal”, which was adopted by the Central Rada of Ukraine as early as on June 23, 1917. That was when the Provisional Government held the office. The Universal appealed “to Ukrainian people, in Ukraine and outside the country and declared autonomy within the borders of Russia. That was how it was written, “without seceding from Russia … let the Ukrainian people have the right to manage their own life” (ref.: Ukrainian statehood and lessons of history. Retort of Maxim Kononenko // http://www.vesti.ru/doc. html? id = 1718252 & tid = 105474). After negotiations with Kerensky, the Central Rada pledged not to introduce autonomy unilaterally. “The Second Universal” was released on this occasion. The paper, published in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Jewish, stated: “we, the Central Rada …always stood for keeping Ukraine as a part of Russia”. However, the purpose of “revolutionary democrats” was to destroy Russia, and the shortest way to do it is to separate it from Ukraine. Nothing concerning separation is observed in the text of “the Third Universal” either, the text of which is fully given. However, Ukraine will be separated in the text of the Brest peace. Just four months after the release of “the Third Universal”.

The end of Symon Petlyura was also quite symbolic. He was murdered on May 25, 1926 in Paris by a Jewish emigrant, who thus took vengeance on for violence of Petlyurites towards the Jews. Anti-Semitism along with Russo-phobia is the identity of Ukrainian nationalists.

Meanwhile, few Ukrainians know about further twists and turns of state construction during the chaos and civil war. These events painfully resemble present days. “A few months after the proclamation of the Ukrainian People’s Republic in Kiev, one will not believe, the West Ukrainian People’s Republic was proclaimed in Lviv. In January 1919, these two People’s Republic – united! But Donetsk-Krivoy Rog Soviet Republic did not join them for ideological reasons – the territory, where the story repeats after almost a hundred years” (ref.: Ukrainian statehood and lessons of history. Retort of Maxim Kononenko // http: // www. vesti.ru/doc.html?id=1718252&tid=105474).

Speaking of Crimeans’ citizenship, it is important to note that according to the Law of the Russian Federation № 99-FZ “Concerning the state policy of the Russian Federation relating to fellow nationals abroad” dated May 24, 1999 the Russian Federation is the only successor to the USSR. Therefore, none of the residents of the USSR could be deprived of USSR-Russia citizenship against his/her will. However, that was done in the Crimea against the will of Crimean people.

In response to these actions, the State Duma of the Russian Federation makes a statement “Concerning the attitude towards the decisions of the Supreme Council of Ukraine in regards to the Crimea” on March 22, 1995, condemning humiliation of the Crimean citizens’ will.
