The Soviet occupation of Ukraine was a process of military, political, and cultural occupation of Ukrainian lands by the RSFSR / Soviet Union during 1917—1991 after the overthrow of the monarchy in the Russian Empire, which ended with the annexation of the western Ukrainian lands to the USSR in accordance with the agreements of 1939 under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany. It is characterized by the creation of Bolshevik-Soviet puppet states on its territories — UPRS, UkSSR, GSRR. The process was accompanied by red terror, Holodomors, repressions, deportations, Executed Renaissance, total Russification, and so on. On June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union and occupied Ukraine. On July 17, 1941, the Third Reich established the Reichskommissariat Ukraine on the territory of Ukraine, headed by Erich Koch. As a result of the Red Army's entry into Ukraine in 1943-1944, the Soviet Union reconquered all Ukrainian territories and returned them to its membership. The Soviet "annexation occupation" of Ukraine lasted until August 1991, when Ukraine regained its independence by adopting the "Declaration of Independence of Ukraine".

Currently in Ukraine, in academic and public discourses, two terms are used to define the Soviet period — радянський, radianskyi and совєцький, sovietskyi. The second term is used to emphasize the alienation of Soviet politics and culture and to downplay the involvement of Ukrainian society in the Soviet Ukraine project.[1] Ukraine remains the legal successor of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and not the Ukrainian People's Republic for now, unlike Republic of Estonia, Republic of Latvia and Republic of Lithuania, which are not the legal successors of the Estonian SSR, the Latvian SSR and the Lithuanian SSR.[2][3][4]
