The Communist Party of Bukovina (KPB) (in Ukrainian: Комуністична партія Буковини, КПБ, in Romanian: Partidul Comunist din Bucovina) was a clandestine political party in interwar Romania. Led by S. I. Kanyuk, its purpose was the secession of Bukovina from Romania and its unification with the Ukrainian SSR.[1][2][3]
History
The first communist cells in Bukovina arose in March — April 1917. In 1918, they expanded in Chernivtsi, Zastavna, Vyzhnytsia, Kitsman, Siret, Suceava, Gura Humorului, Dorna Watra, Câmpulung Moldovenesc, Putyla, Vashkivtsi, Doroshivtsi, Stanivtsi and other places. At the beginning of November 1918 they united into the Communist Party of Bukovina.[4][5] The Central Committee was elected, headed by S. I. Kanyuk. A clandestine party, the CPB carried out significant agitation work among the workers and soldiers of Bukovina.[6] The party also participated in the Khotyn Uprising.[7]
In August 1919, the party joined the Comintern. On March 17, 1921, the party began to publish its newspaper, called Hromada.[8] The party received financial aid from the Communist Party of Ukraine and it had ties to with the clandestine Communist Party of Eastern Galicia in Poland. It had around 1,000 members in 1921.[9]
In 1924, the Romanian authorities banned communist activities. Nonetheless, the party remained active.[10] The Communist Party of Bukovina organised protests against the 1921 Land Reform and against the Romanianization of the Ukrainian schools in Bukovina.[11]
At the request of the Comintern, the was merged into the Communist Party of Romania (PCdR) in 1926, becoming the Bukovina regional branch of the PCdR.[12] Its members reorganized into the legal Vyzvolennia party in 1929.
