The Ukrainian People\'s Republic (Ukrainian: Українська Народня Республіка, Ukrayins’ka Narodnia Respublika; abbreviated УНР, UNR) or Ukrainian National Republic or Ukraine is the predecessor of modern Ukraine that was declared (on 23 June 1917) at first as a part of the Russian Republic after the Russian Revolution but that proclaimed its independence on 25 January 1918. During its short existence the republic went through several political transformations from the socialist-lenient republic headed by the Central council with its General secretariat to the national republic, led by Directorate and Symon Petlyura. Between April and December 1918 the Ukrainian People\'s Republic was non-existent and overthrown by the Ukrainian State of Pavlo Skoropadsky. From autumn 1919 it was an ally of the Second Polish Republic. But by then the state de-facto was non-existent. The 18 March 1921 Treaty of Riga between the Second Polish Republic, Soviet Russia (acting also on behalf of Soviet Belarus) and Soviet Ukraine sealed the fate of the Ukrainian People\'s Republic.
After the October Revolution many governments were formed in Ukraine. The two most important of them the Ukrainian People\'s Republic, residing in Kiev, and the Ukrainian People\'s Republic of Soviets, residing in Kharkiv. These two sides were in permanent conflict between each other, which esulted in many casualties among Ukrainians fighting in opposition in civil war as part of the wider Ukrainian-Soviet War. The Soviet Union would (after the Treaty of Riga) extend control over what would ultimately become the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and a member of the Soviet Union.
