Memorable January 1918...The Ukrainian revolution lasted for 10 months. The power of the Russian tzarism was overthrown, the statehood of Ukraine in the form of the Ukrainian People's Republic was restored, local authorities were established, and the Ukrainianization of education and culture took place. But a new enemy stood at the borders of Ukraine - Russian Bolshevism. The military power of the new Ukrainian state was insignificant and the help of a conscious national community was needed to defend the restored independence (http://univd.edu.ua/uk/news/12067).
