Description
Summary:Juliian Bachynsky (1870–1940) was a Ukrainian socialist born in Galicia. In the 1920s he was sympathetic to the Soviet regime in Ukraine, but he fell victim to the purges of the 1930s. In historiography Bachynsky is above all known as the author of "Ukraina irredenta," first published in Lviv in 1896. In this booklet he demanded a "free, great, and politically independent Ukraine," preferably "one and indivisible from the San to the Caucasus." Because of this sentence, he has appeared to many historians, and to Ukrainian nationalists as well, as a pioneering advocate of an independent Ukrainian state. However, his socialist convictions are often unmentioned. His demand for an independent Ukrainian state was primarily derived from his Marxism. This paper discusses Bachynsky's ideological consistency, and the reception of his "Ukraina irredenta" in historiography.
