metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article traces the fates of the members of the Black Hundred organizations of Right-Bank Ukraine
  after the revolution of 1917. In 1905–1917, this region was one of the centers of the monarchist movement, and
  the Pochaev department of the Union of the Russian People was the most numerous black hundred organization
  in the Russian Empire. There is a lot of indirect evidence that after the overthrow of the monarchy, many Black
  Hundreds of the Right Bank found themselves in the ranks of Ukrainians and Bolsheviks, actively participating
  in various rebel detachments and gangs, but it is impossible to draw far-reaching conclusions based on such
  sources, most often of a memoir nature. To understand what happened to the former black-hundredists and in
  which political camp they found themselves, the author turns to electoral statistics. Comparing the data about the
  size of organizations of the Union of the Russian People in different settlements of the Kiev province in the 1910s
  with the results of the elections to the Ukrainian Constituent Assembly in 1917–1918 in the same localities, the author comes to the conclusion that the former black-hundredists did not vote for Russian nationalists and monarchists,
  but for the Ukrainian Social revolutionaries and occasionally for the Bolsheviks, that is, for the parties that
  promised a radical solution to the agrarian question. At the same time, the peasants who voted for the socialists
  because of the desire to divide the landowners’ land, did not support the party programs of the Ukrainian Socialist
  Revolutionaries and Bolsheviks on other issues, retaining elements of the black-hundred worldview. This is why
  during the Civil War “black-hundred sentiments” could be found both in the army of the Ukrainian People’s Republic
  and in the Red Army.
