Ukrainization in the 1920s and 1930s

Ukrainization in the 1920s and 1930s was a policy of Ukrainization (Ukrainisation) by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (initially named "Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks)"), aimed at neutralising the aspirations of the Ukrainian people towards independence (as they briefly enjoyed during the Ukrainian People's Republic, 1917–1921), and strengthening Bolshevik power in the Ukrainian SSR in the interwar period. It envisaged the use of national personnel in Soviet, party and public institutions and organisations, the expansion of the Communist Party's ideological influence on Ukrainian society through the use of the Ukrainian language and the promotion of ‘proletarian elements’ in national culture.
