Ukrainian State

Ukrainian State (sometimes also called The Hetmanate ) was an anti-socialist government that existed on most of territory of Ukraine (except for West Ukraine) from 29 April 1918 till December 1918. It was installed after the socialist-leaning Central Council of the Ukrainian People's Republic was dispersed on 28 April 1918. Ukraine turned into a provisional dictatorship of Hetman of Ukraine Pavlo Skoropadskyi, who outlawed all socialist oriented political parties, creating an anti-Bolshevik front. It collapsed in December 1918, when Skoropadskyi was deposed and the Ukrainian People's Republic returned to power in the form of the Directorate.
