Revolutionary Ukrainian Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Revolutionary Ukrainian Party was a political party in Ukraine, founded in early 1900. In December 1905, it renamed itself the Ukrainian Social-Democratic Labour Party (U.S.D.L.P.), and decided to join the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, provided it was recognised as 'the sole representative of the Ukrainian proletariat', within the R.S.D.L.P. The Fourth (Unity) Congress of the R.S.D.L.P. rejected the proposal which the U.S.D.L.P. spokesman had made for the immediate discussion of the terms of a merger, and referred the matter to the Central Committee for decision. No agreement was reached on a merger. Subsequently the U.S.D.L.P. found itself in the camp of the bourgeois-nationalists.^[1]
