The Sovietization of Ukraine, 1917–1923 concerns the Bolsheviks' theory and practice of national self-determination with regard to Ukraine from the outbreak of the revolution in 1917 to the creation of the Soviet Union in 1923. In addition to presenting a detailed account of the events leading to Ukraine's sovietization, the author analyses Marxist theory on the national question, as well as the socio-economic and political situation in Ukraine on the eve of and during the revolution. This book was originally published in Stockholm in 1960 under the title The Russian Communist Party and the Sovietization of Ukraine: A Study in the Communist Doctrine of the Self-Determination of Nations. The second edition has been revised and illustrations have been added.
