Ukrainian State
Ukrainian State (Ukrainian: Українська держава, Ukrayinska Derzhava) (sometimes also called The Hetmanate (Ukrainian: Гетьманат, Hetmanat)) 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.
The establishment of the Ukrainian State led to unification of most of Ukraine in its contemporary borders, disbanding all Soviet quasi states sanctioned by the Bolshevik Petrograd such as the Odessa Soviet Republic, Donetsk-Krivoi Rog Soviet Republic and others. More assertive foreign policy and military support from the Central Powers saw some improved stabilization within the country.
