He was a member of the Odessa Ukrainian Hromada, from the name of which he sent a petition to the Russian Provisional Government to give Ukraine its territorial autonomy. Due to the Soviet aggression on Ukraine without declaration of war and poor management of the State Affairs on the part of Volodymyr Vynnychenko in such conditions forced the Central Rada reappoint the head of the Ukrainian government Vsevolod Holubovych on January 31. Holubovych also headed the Ukrainian delegation to Brest-Litovsk and negotiated the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (February 9, 1918). On April 29 Holubovych was arrested and convicted in kidnapping of a banker A.Dobry. He was imprisoned December 16, 1918 in Lukyanivka. In August 1920 was arrested again by the Special team of the 14th Army. Convicted he was only a year later to five years in prison as part of the Ukrainian SR process among which ended up other Ukrainian politicians such as Serhiy Ostapenko. Holubovych was amnisted right away on December 1921.
In 1931 he was arrested together with his wife in Kharkiv and later convicted now as part of the famous Ukrainian national center and imprisoned in Yaroslavl, Russian SFSR.

Famous quotes containing the word revolution:
“There was never a revolution to equal it, and never a city more glorious than Petrograd, and for all that period of my life I lived another and braved the ice of winter and the summer flies in Vyborg while across my adopted country of the past, winds of the revolution blew their flame, and all of us suffered hunger while we drank at the wine of equality.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Could it not be that just at the moment masculinity has brought us to the brink of nuclear destruction or ecological suicide, women are beginning to rise in response to the Mother’s call to save her planet and create instead the next stage of evolution? Can our revolution mean anything else than the reversion of social and economic control to Her representatives among Womankind, and the resumption of Her worship on the face of the Earth? Do we dare demand less?”
—Jane Alpert (b. 1947)
“History in the making is a very uncertain thing. It might be better to wait till the South American republic has got through with its twenty-fifth revolution before reading much about it. When it is over, some one whose business it is, will be sure to give you in a digested form all that it concerns you to know, and save you trouble, confusion, and time. If you will follow this plan, you will be surprised to find how new and fresh your interest in what you read will become.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
