Odesa was one of the major flashpoints in the Russian Revolution

of 1905, and was the scene of the mutiny on the warship Potemkin,

when sailors protesting against the serving of rotten

meat eventually killed several of the ship’s officers.

A monument in central Kiev stands as testament to

the 7–12 million Ukrainian peasants who died during

the Great Famine, or Holodomor, of 1932–33.

In 1872, an iron foundry was

established at Donets’k by British

industrialist John Hughes

(from whom the town's pre-

Revolutionary name Yuzovka

was derived) to produce rails

for the growing Russian

transportation network.
