The mostly peasant Ukrainian population was\, by and large\, indifferent to national categories. But the massive dislocations of total war opened up new vistas of opportunity for Eastern European acti vists. Nation-states\, nationalized armies\, and socialist experiments app eared amid the carnage as the imperial juggernauts faltered and withdrew. Ukraine was no exception\, but\, unlike Poland\, Lithuania\, Hungary\, and Finland\, its leaders failed to make their nation’s political boundarie s coincide with its imagined ethnographic territory.
