== National policies ==

=== Jewish policies ===
In 1924, the Soviet Union formed the [[Committee for the Land Organization of Workers]] to help Jews settle in the countryside, which had been illegal before 1917. By the late 1920s, over 100,000 Jews worked on farms. Jewish-operated farms, most of which were in Ukraine and [[Crimea]] (then part of the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1917–1991)|RSFSR]]), conducted education and work in Yiddish. Yiddish was an official language in some regions of Ukraine, which conducted court proceedings in Yiddish.<ref name=":0" />

=== Ukrainization ===
During the 1920s, the Soviet government promoted the Ukrainian language as part of its Ukrainization policies to combat Great Russian chauvinism. The percentage of books printed in Ukrainian in the Ukrainian SSR increased from 31% in 1923 to 54% in 1928. The amount of newspapers printed in Ukrainian increased from 37% to 63% in this same time period.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Eugene Puryear|newspaper=[[Liberation School]]|title=Nations and Soviets: The National Question in the USSR|date=2022-06-12|url=https://www.liberationschool.org/nations-and-soviets-the-national-question-in-the-ussr/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220613003437/https://www.liberationschool.org/nations-and-soviets-the-national-question-in-the-ussr/|archive-date=2022-06-13|retrieved=2022-08-31}}</ref> In 1926, the majority of civil servants in Ukraine were ethnic Ukrainians and the percentage of ethnic Ukrainians in the [[Communist Party of Ukraine]], a regional branch of the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union|CPSU]], rose from 20% in 1920 to 60% in 1933.<ref name=":0" />

Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (1919–1991)

89.124.8.87: i changed the motto since it translated wrong, in the ukrainian it says specifically "proletariat of all countries, unite!" while for some reason in english it translates to workers of the world unite? пролетарі means specifically proletaria
