Mykola Skrypnyk
Mykola Oleksiiovych Skrypnyk (; – 7 July 1933), was a Ukrainian
Bolshevik revolutionary and Communist leader who was a proponent of the Ukrainian Republic's independence, and later led the cultural
Ukrainization effort in
Soviet Ukraine. When the policy was reversed and he was removed from his position, he committed suicide rather than be forced to recant his policies in a show trial. He also was the Head of the Ukrainian People's Commissariat, equivalent to the modern-day position of
Prime Minister of Ukraine.
