6/7 He criticised Western positions of the time that warned of a disintegration of Russia and called for a strong central government. In Abramovich's view, a democratic government could not keep centrifugal (national) forces in check. His summary: "Only a cruel dictatorship, which will not be inferior to the Bolshevik one, will be able to master this task." Democracy would then be buried forever.
1/7 A few days ago I made a thread about Panas Fedenko's "The National and Social Liberation Struggle of Ukraine". In 1951 Fedenko published "Ukraine. Her struggle for freedom". Looking at the revolutionary period 1917-20, he writes nothing new, perhaps just less detailed.

Attached: 1 image I am starting to familiarise myself with Ukrainian history and especially the social movements there. Some days ago I read "The National and Social Liberation Struggle of Ukraine" by Panas Fedenko, published in 1923 (Natsional'na i sotsiial'na borot'ba ukraïns'koho narod).

In a mixture of old German and modern Latin letters there is written: "Fedenko! p. 26: Jews in Ukraine. Petljura: p. 31. P. 39: persecutions of the jews. 9/n
But even more interesting is a small delivery note, which is still in the brochure. Accordingly, this brochure was probably delivered to Wilhelm Dittmann by the Paul Singer bookshop of the SPD in the 1920s. 7/n
Fedenko's text was published by Dietz |@dietzverlag| in 1923, the SPD publishing house in that time. The edition I read was part of the library of the SPD and came into the library of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation through this channel. 6/n
