History

Rise of nationalism

The 10 commandments of the Ukrainian People's Party (1902–1907) were developed by Ukrainian nationalist and founder of the UPP Mykola Mikhnovsky in 1904- a year before the Russian Revolution of 1905. These commandments were a kind of honor code for the party.

The UPP time and again during its existence called for a one, united, indivisible, from the Carpathians to the Caucasus, independent, free and democratic Ukraine – a republic of working people.[2]
