Captured and Interned Ukrainians in Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey (1918–1923): A Comparative Analysis in the Context of Unknown Documents of 1921
Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2018, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
Following the rapid collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917, the patriotic forces that fought for Ukraine's independence against the Bolshevik and White Guard troops during 1917-1921, lost the military struggle and were interned in various camps in Europe and other countries. The article identifies two groups of Ukrainian military-political emigration formed during 1918-1923. The first group included the troops of interned Ukrainians, particularly in Romania. The second group was formed by the Ukrainian mili-tary, captured along with the White Guard troops interned in Bulgaria and Turkey. The authors pointed out that the Ukrainians interned in Romania had better living and working conditions, while the Ukrainian military members of General Wrangel’ s White Guard Army, held captive in the territories of Bulgaria and Turkey, have suffered greatly from harass¬ment on national and political grounds. The letters published by the authors, written in 1921, which belong to the Ukrainian military in Bulgaria and Turkey and addressed to the officials of the Ukrainian People's Republic, convey their will, conviction, and desire to return to the ranks of the Ukrainian Army and continue the struggle for an independent Ukraine.
