Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine

The Communist Party (Bolshevik) of Ukraine (Комуністична Партія (більшовиків) України, Komunistychna Partiya (bilshovykiv) Ukrayiny, КП(б)У, KP(b)U) was formed at a conference in Taganrog, in April 1918, when the first Bolshevik government of Ukraine (Respublika Rad Ukrayiny) was dissolved.

This party advocated strong ties with Russia, unlike the Ukrainian Communist Party that was established in 1920.

In July, a Moscow congress of Ukrainian bolsheviks rescinded the resolution, and the Ukrainian party was declared a part of the Russian Communist Party (bolshevik).
