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.
