- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Ukrainian Communist Party (Borot’bists) had its origins in the Ukrainian Socialist-Revolutionary Party, organised in April 1917. At the Ukrainian Socialist-Revolutionary Party’s fourth congress in May 1918, its left wing formed the independent Ukrainian Socialist-Revolutionary (Borot’bists) Party, named for this faction’s central organ, the weekly newspaper Borot’ba [The Struggle]. At the fifth congress in March 1919, the Borot’bists approved a communist platform and took the new title the Ukrainian Party of Socialist-Revolutionary-Communists (Borot’bists); and in August 1919, upon merging with the left Ukrainian Social-Democrat “independents’” group, they became known as the Ukrainian Communist Party (Borot’bists), or UKP(b) for short. In negotiations in Moscow with the Central Committee of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine in December 1919 and January-April 1920, the Ukrainian Communist Party (Borot’bists) sought equal representation on the All-Ukrainian Revolutionary Committee and the establishment of a “Ukrainian Red Army,” but was unsuccessful, ultimately forced to cede its rebel detachments to Soviet command. In March 1920, the All-Ukrainian Conference of the Ukrainian Communist Party (Borot’bists) adopted a resolution to liquidate the party and have its members join the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine.
