It is the Soviet Union's third largest republic by land area and the second most populous. It shares a border with [[Moldavian SSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Moldavia]], [[Poland (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Poland]], [[Czechoslovakia (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Czechoslovakia]], [[Hungary (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Hungary]] and [[Romania (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Romania]] to the west, [[Byelorussian SSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Byelorussia]] to the north and is surrounded by [[Russian SFSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Russia]] to the east and has a 2,700 kilometer long coastline on the {{wp|Black Sea}} to the south. Its largest city and capital is [[Kiev (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Kiev]], while other major cities include [[Kharkov (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Kharkov]], [[Dnepropetrovsk (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Dnepropetrovsk]], [[Odessa (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Odessa]] and [[Donetsk (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Donetsk]].  
 
Ukraine is commonly referred to as Europe's {{wp|Breadbasket|breadbasket}}, and it is one of the top exporters of {{wp|wheat}}, {{wp|grains|grain}} and {{wp|cereal}} in the world. Its borders contain a quarter of one of the world's most fertile soils ({{wp|Chernozem}}) which makes up 68% of its entire land area. As a result, Ukraine is ideal for agricultural production and has consistently been one of the top producers regarding agriculture. Aside from its rich and fertile soil, Ukraine is in possession of the {{wp|Crimea|Crimean peninsula}} where the city of {{wp|Sevastopol}} is located. Sevastopol is notable as one of the only warm deepwater ports in the {{wp|Black Sea}} as well as the strategic headquarters of the [[Black Sea Fleet (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Black Sea Fleet]].  
 
Ukraine's capital, [[Kiev (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Кiev]], was the epicenter and capital of the {{wp|Kievan Rus'}}, the first {{wp|East Slavs|East Slavic}} state in history. Under the Кievan Rus', Кiev was one of the largest cities in {{wp|Eastern Europe|eastern Europe}} and among the richest in its hemisphere until the {{wp|Mongol invasion of Kievan Rus'|Mongol invasions}} razed the town and rendered it to a second-class provincial capital for much of its existence. Кiev's role as the center of Rus' culture was taken by [[Moscow (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Moscow]] in the 14th and 15th centuries. Ukraine's modern day territory was divided for most of its existence, ranging from the {{wp|Ottoman Empire|Ottoman}} {{wp|Crimean Khanate|Crimean Khanate}} in Crimea to the {{wp|Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth}} in the west. After the {{wp|Partitions of Poland}} most of the territory of modern day Ukraine fell under control of the {{wp|Russian Empire}}, with the remainder falling into the borders of the {{wp|Austrian Empire}}. The territory of Ukraine would be the site of a significant portion of the fighting of the {{wp|Crimean War}}, which was a disaster for the {{wp|Russian Empire}} and pushed the Tsarist government to make several key reforms including the abolition of {{wp|serfdom}}. During the late 19th century, Kiev along with other cities in Ukraine industrialized, resulting in Kiev becoming a relevant (and significantly populated) city once more.
The effects of {{wp|World War I}} on the wider Russian Empire resulted in the {{wp|February Revolution|overthrow of the monarchy}} and the establishment of an {{wp|Russian Republic|unstable democratic republic}}, from which Ukraine declared its autonomy and later its independence as a result of the {{wp|Treaty of Brest-Litovsk}} in March 1918. Ukraine was the site of major fighting during the {{wp|Russian Civil War}}, with the {{wp|Ukrainian People's Republic}}, [[Ukrainian SSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Ukrainian SSR]] and the {{wp|Makhnovshchina}} all fighting amongst each-other. The Russian Civil War resulted in a {{wp|Bolshevik}} victory and in 1922 Ukraine became a founding member of the Soviet Union.
 
The capital was moved from [[Kiev (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Kiev]] to [[Kharkov (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Kharkov]] from 1919 to 1934, Ukraine during the interwar period was a turbulent place, however its vast amounts of fertile soil allowed for the Soviet government to industrialize rapidly using the profis from the wheat exports. Ukraine was particularly hard hit by the {{wp|Soviet famine of 1930-1933|Soviet famines in the 1930s}}, known in Ukraine as the {{wp|Holodomor}}. In 1934, Кiev became the capital of Ukraine again, and Ukraine began to recover from the effects of the Holodomor throughout the 1930s. In 1939, with the {{wp|Soviet invasion of Poland}}, Ukraine's territory was expanded westwards; the boundaries agreed upon by {{wp|Nazi Germany}} and the Soviet Union have remained almost entirely unchanged, with only minor changes based on the {{wp|Curzon Line}}. The {{wp|Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina|annexation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina}} from {{wp|Kingdom of Romania|Romania}} in 1940 resulted in the {{wp|Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic|Moldavian ASSR}} becoming a constituent republic of the Soviet Union as the [[Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Moldavian SSR]].
 
The {{wp|Great Patriotic War (term)|Great Patriotic War}} and {{wp|Operation Barbarossa}} saw Ukraine fall under Nazi occupation, with most of the territory falling under the administration of the {{wp|Reichskommissariat Ukraine}}. Ukraine's infrastructure and industry were devastated by both Soviet {{wp|Scorched earth|scorched earth tactics}} and the Nazis wish to "annihilate" both the peoples and the landscape of Ukraine. It is estimated that during the German-Soviet war, 16.3% of Ukraine's population perished. {{wp|Ukrainians}} made up a significant portion of the {{wp|Red Army}} throughout World War II, it is estimated that anywhere between 6 million to 7 million Ukrainians served throughout {{wp|World War II}}.
After the war ended, Ukraine laid in ruins, with only 544 industrial enterprises being evacuated compared to 16,150 enterprises lost in total. Ukraine recovered after the war, however- and emerged as a founding member of the {{wp|United Nations}} due to a compromise between the Soviet Union and the {{wp|United States}}. {{wp|Crimea}} was {{wp|Transfer of Crimea in the Soviet Union|transferred from Russia to Ukraine}} in 1954. In the modern day, Ukraine is still among the most important and richest regions of the Soviet Union.


Ukraine, especially its capital, Kiev, was a centre of the {{wp|East Slavic}} state of {{wp|Kievan Rus'}}, from which Russia and Byelorussia formed. Following the {{wp|Mongol invasion of Kievan Rus'|Mongol invasion}} and the destruction of the Kievan Rus', the territory of Ukraine was divided and contested by various powers, most notably {{wp|Poland-Lithuania}}, {{wp|Russian Empire|Russia}} and {{wp|Habsburg empire|Austria}}.

Ukraine,[a] officially the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic,[b] is a constituent republic of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe. It is the Soviet Union's third largest republic by land area and the second most populous. It shares a border with Moldavia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania to the west, Byelorussia to the north and is surrounded by Russia to the east and has a 2,700 kilometer long coastline on the Black Sea to the south. Its largest city and capital is Kiev, while other major cities include Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa and Donetsk.

Ukraine, especially its capital, Kiev, was a centre of the East Slavic state of Kievan Rus', from which Russia and Byelorussia formed. Following the Mongol invasion and the destruction of the Kievan Rus', the territory of Ukraine was divided and contested by various powers, most notably Poland-Lithuania, Russia and Austria. Most of Ukraine fell under the control of Russia from the late 18th century onwards. Ukrainian nationalism and a Ukrainian national identity began to take form in the 19th century, culminating with Ukraine's declaration of independence from Russia as the Ukrainian People's Republic in 1917. Following victory in the Ukrainian Civil War, the Bolsheviks founded the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and later joined with Russia, Byelorussia and Transcaucasia to found the Soviet Union in 1922. Following World War II, Ukraine became a founding member of the United Nations alongside Byelorussia.

By population and area, Ukraine is the second and third largest in the Soviet Union. Its abundance of fertile soil and land results in its extensive use as an agricultural center of the Soviet Union: it is one of the world's largest agricultural producers and exporters and has been called "the breadbasket of Europe".

Etymology

The origin and meaning of Ukraine's name is disputed, but it is commonly thought to come from the Old East Slavic term оукраина, which is usually translated as "borderland", in reference to Ukraine's status as a frontier of the Kievan Rus'. Another theory posits that the term means "region", "country", or "the land around (Kiev)".

Historically and especially in the Russian Empire, Ukraine was referred to as Little Russia, with southern Ukraine forming Novorossiya. The Ukrainian state that emerged from Russia following the Russian Revolution in 1917 proclaimed itself Ukraine, which was adopted by the succeeding Bolshevik state.

Ukraine is sometimes used with the definite article "the", giving "the Ukraine".
