number years Ukraine part of Russia
AI Overview
Ukraine has been part of Russia in various forms throughout history, but it has not been continuously under Russian rule. From the late 1700s until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine was largely under the control of the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union. Specifically, after the final partitions of Poland in the 1790s, the Russian Empire absorbed most of modern-day Ukraine. This period lasted for roughly 120 years. Later, Ukraine became part of the Soviet Union as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) from 1922 until 1991. Ukraine gained its independence in 1991 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
