Regionalism in Ukraine has been a significant force during the building of an independent state after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.^[1] While most acutely this issue manifested itself during the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine, other ethnic minorities in Ukraine sought for greater political or economical autonomy during 1990s. These movements, while not being secessionist, were perceived by central government as a threat to the unity of the state.^[1]

Russian regionalism in Eastern/Southern Ukraine

Early attempts include suggestions of the Donetsk-Dnipro or Dnipro autonomous region.^[1] In 1990, a proposal was put forth in Odessa for a "special state status" of the historical area of Novorossiya which would have been included five Ukrainian oblasts plus Moldovan Transnistria, which is now a breakaway territory.^[1]

Of significant development was regionalism in Crimea, which was of varying political success since early 1990s ^[1] and had eventually led to the annexation of Crimea by Russia.

Regionalism in Western Ukraine

In the light of violent pro Russian events, the Western Ukraine may be perceived as monolithic, it has its own share of regionalism. Even before the Declaration of Independence of Ukraine, there have been call for federalism in the historical Ukrainian region of Galicia. Galicia after the first partition of Poland (1772) was part of the Austrian Empire until its dissolution after World War I in 1918, and therefore its historical development was different from the parts of Ukraine which belonged to the Russian Empire. A representative of the Galician regionalism was Viacheslav Chornovil, one of the first leaders of the Rukh movement, who was instrumental in the convocation of the Galician Assembly.^[1] While one of the important resolutions of the Assembly was "On the Unity of the Ukrainian Lands", Chornovil was severely criticized for "separatism" and eventually abandoned the idea. ^[2]

In Transcarpathia, the Congress of Carpathian Ruthenians led by Dimitry Sydor was for the autonomy of Subcarpathian Ruthenia within Ukraine. Sydor and some other Ruthenian activists were accused of being the tools of the Russian politics of destabilization of Ukraine.^[3]

Ukrainian Hungarians in Transcarpathia suggested to transform the Berehove Raion into Hungarian national district. Other minorities (Ukrainian Romanians/Moldovans in Bukovina and Bessarabian Bulgarians and Gagauz in Odessa Oblast) also sought for local autonomy.^[1]
