Description: Russian Nationalism and Ukraine : The Nationality Policy of the Volunteer Army During the Civil War, Hardcover by Procyk, Anna, ISBN 1895571049, ISBN-13 9781895571042, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Anna Procyk focuses on the nationality policy of the Volunteer Army and the Russian liberals who dominated its politics. Challenging the generally accepted view that the character of the White movement was primarily anti-Bolshevik or even restorationist, she shows how the concept of "one, indivisible Russia" was central to the Volunteer Armys ideology and identity and how it contributed to its failure. Dr. Procyk also challenges the view that the Volunteer Armys generals were reactionary monarchists and that they were primarily responsible for the White movements failure. She persuasively demonstrates that the ideology and political program of the Russian liberal intellectuals who dominated the Volunteer Armys Political Center reinforced Denikins refusal to deal with the independent Ukrainian governments of 1918-19 and his hostility toward the idea of a Russo-Ukrainian federation and an anti-Bolshevik alliance. The Volunteer Army failed to defeat the Bolsheviks because it was unable and unwilling to come to terms with the Ukrainian question. At critical junctures during the Russian Civil War, its struggle against an independent Ukraine overshadowed its struggle against the Bolsheviks.
