Much like the current Russian president, Stalin was fixated on Ukraine, fearing a strong opponent to his rule would emerge from the second largest Soviet republic. Ukraine was endowed with natural resources and a political and cultural leadership that pushed for more autonomy. The ruthless “purges'' of the 1930s had consequences that Stalin himself could not have anticipated. They laid the groundwork for not only a generational demographic push from below, but also the rise of two general secretaries with deep ties to Ukraine: Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev. Khrushchev and Brezhnev collectively ruled for the better part of 30 years, until Brezhnev’s death in 1982, when the KGB led by Yuri Andropov kicked all the Ukrainians out of Moscow and cut off the bureaucratic channels that had brought them there since the mid-1950s. How and why this happened is crucial for understanding Soviet politics. It also points to the existential and epistemological dangers of blindly accepting stories Russia likes to tell about itself. ![]()

Dr. Kulick received her PhD in History from Stanford University in 2017, where her studies focused on the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and the Russian Empire. Her research is on regional elites in post-Stalin Soviet Ukraine, the personal networks that shaped its relations with Moscow, and how both influenced politics in the center of Soviet power. She’s working on a book titled provisionally How Ukraine Ruled Russia: Regionalism and Party Politics after Stalin. Her second project is a microhistory of the concentration camp Mittelbau-Dora, which follows a small group of Ukrainian nationalists into underground tunnels, where the Nazis manufactured their infamous V-1 and V-2 missiles.
