Автономні органи управління Української Далекосхідної Республіки як органи державної влади у її державотворенні

In 1917-1922, in the Far East region known as the Green Wedge, Ukrainians who had migrated there actively fought for their national rights and self-determination. In this context, the Ukrainian Far Eastern Republic emerged, striving for its own autonomy and independence. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the autonomous governing bodies of the Ukrainian Far Eastern Republic as organs of state power in its state-building. The study found that the autonomous governing bodies of the Ukrainian Far Eastern Republic played an important role in state-building. They ensured the functioning of the Ukrainian Far Eastern Republic as an autonomous entity, contributed to the development of Ukrainian culture and education, and protected the national rights of Ukrainians in the Far East. Inspired by the example of the Ukrainian Central Rada, which emerged in Kyiv after the February Revolution of 1917, the idea of creating a Ukrainian Far Eastern Council arose. In the context of the escalating political crisis in the Far Eastern region, the decline of Ukrainian social life, and the growing Bolshevik threat, virtually all Ukrainian organizations that existed in the Far East were liquidated in November 1922 after the establishment of Soviet power in the area, and their leaders and activists were arrested, and their property was confiscated, which is a consequence of the Chita Process (a set of repressive measures by the Soviet communist authorities aimed at suppressing the Ukrainian national movement in the Far East, carried out from January 5 to 13, 1924, against Ukrainian activists and leading figures of the Ukrainian Far Eastern movement detained in 1922). Ukrainian national organizations constituted a well-structured system of bodies of national self-government of the Ukrainian population of the Far East, which had a socio-administrative character, and their creation was the implementation of the principle of national-cultural autonomy, which was legally formalized only in the Ukrainian Far Eastern Republic.
