Ukraine was right in the center of the violent chaos following the Russian Revolution 1917. After declaring independence the Ukrainian People’s Republic was invaded multiple times as the Russian Civil War, the Polish-Soviet War, the Ukrainian-Polish War and the Soviet-Ukrainian War all raged across the country. The Communist victory in the Russian Civil War meant that the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic became a founding member of the USSR.
乌克兰正处1917年俄国革命后暴力混乱的中心。宣布独立后，乌克兰人民共和国多次被入侵，因为俄罗斯内战，波苏战争，乌克兰-波兰战争和苏乌战争都在全国范围内肆虐。共产党在俄国内战中的胜利，意味着乌克兰苏维埃社会主义共和国成为苏联的创始成员国。
