ФОРМУВАННЯ ВІДНОСИН МІЖ РСФРР І УСРР НА ПОЧАТКУ 1920-Х РР.: ШЛЯХ ДО УНІТАРИЗМУ

Abstract

The article examines the process of formation of a unitary Soviet state, features of relations between the RSFSR and the USSR in 1919–1923, elements of their interstate status, circumstances of the political motivation of unitarism in relations are revealed. The formation and functioning of relations between the RSFSR and the USSR, their institutionalization, are revealed. The factors that influenced the fragmentation of the interstate status during the researched period, its unification in the conditions of systemic unitization with their implementation in political-economic and administrative-territorial relations were established. It was established that the measures aimed at the political mastery of Ukraine by Soviet Russia went beyond the scope of the legal registration of state relations between Russia and Ukraine. In the relations between the RSFSR and the USSR in the first third of the 1920s, a combination of tactics of incorporation by means of forceful expansion was observed with an emphasized declaration of Ukraine's independence and the adoption of decisions that transformed the latter into autonomy. The interstate relations of the RSFSR and the USSR were based on the Bolshevik doctrine, the commonality of ideological and political tasks, the state system and socio-economic system, which was equally organized and built on common foundations. The relations formed between the RSFSR and the USSR in the early 1920s had significant flaws. They were immediately based on the principle of inequality of their subjects. The RSFSR had serious advantages in relations with Ukraine, appropriating the rights of the union center.
