Peasant League

The Peasant League was a political coalition in Ukraine during the early 20th century, mainly around 1917-1918. It represented rural farmers and peasants, advocating for land reform and better living conditions. The league aimed to give peasants more influence in government and to promote policies that supported their economic stability. It played a role in Ukraine's broader struggles for independence and social reform during a time of political upheaval following the Russian Revolution. Essentially, it was a movement focused on empowering the rural population and addressing their specific needs within Ukraine’s evolving political landscape.
