context_page_description: Kholodny Yar Republic, Cold Ravine Republic or Kholodnoyarsk Republic was a self-proclaimed state formation, partisan movement on the lands of the Ukrainian People's Republic, in the Chyhyryn district of the Kyiv province, in the area of the Kholodny Yar forest tract. The village of Melnyky was its capital.
  Kholodny Yar Republic was the last territory in which Ukrainians continued to fight for an independent Ukrainian state before the incorporation of Ukraine into the Soviet Union as the Ukrainian SSR. Thus it was an important part of the Ukrainian War of Independence.
  During the Soviet era, the history of this entity and its figures was silenced or distorted because, according to many researchers, it could lead to an increase in undesirable attitudes from the point of view of the authorities in society.
