The upheavals of the Russian revolution and Civil War had a decisive influence on the development of the Ukrainian nation. Given modern efforts to free Ukraine "from imperial layers", it is particularly useful to address real historical experience, namely that of the Bolsheviks, who implemented their own Ukrainian nation building project in 1917-1923. Generated by the party-state machine of the RSFSR, it was a cultural dimension of the “battle for Ukraine” and determined the character of Ukrainian statehood for many decades.
