Summary / Abstract (Note) | Iurko Tiutiunnyk was the second most important Ukrainian military figure after Symon Petliura during the Russian Civil War. However, between 1914 and 1922, he fought for a number of different masters: the tsar, the warlord Nechypir Hryhor’iev, the All-Ukrainian Revolutionary Committee, and the Army of the Ukrainian People’s Republic; in 1923 he had to reconcile himself to the Bolshevik regime after being tricked into returning to the Soviet Ukraine. In order to justify his repeated changes in loyalty, he constructed and projected several different personae. This article charts this process, suggesting that the opportunities and pressures driving Tiutiunnyk’s adoption of new identities made him typical of his generation of Ukrainian military and political actors. |
