RUSSIAN NATIONALISM AND UKRAINE: The Nationality Policy of the Volunteer Army During the Civil War by Anna M. Procyk with Introduction by Mark von Hagen, CIUS Press, xvi, 202 pp. on sale $23.97 (reg. $39.95) cloth.

Anna Procyk shows how the concept of “one, indivisible Russia” was central to the Volunteer Army’s ideology and identity and how it contributed to its failure. Dr. Procyk challenges the generally accepted view that the White Movement’s Volunteer Army was anti-Bolshevik or restorationist and its generals were reactionary monarchists. She persuasively demonstrates that the ideology and political program of the Russian liberal intellectuals who dominated the Volunteer Army’s Political Centre reinforced Denikin’s 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.
