The Ukrainian People's Republic of Soviets (1917–1918) was a short-lived Soviet republic of the Russian SFSR that was announced in the declaration of the Kharkiv All-Ukrainian Congress of Soviets "About the self-determination of Ukraine" on 25 December [O.S. 12 December] 1917 in the building of the Noble Assembly (Kharkiv). The republic was later united into the Ukrainian Soviet Republic and, eventually, liquidated, because of an extinguished support from the government of Russian SFSR when the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was signed.

The idea to call for the All-Ukrainian Congress of Soviets was posed by the Bolshevik faction within the executive committee of the Kiev Council of workers' deputies during the united session of executive committees of councils (soviets) of workers' and soldiers' deputies of Kiev city on 16 November [O.S. 3 November] 1917, soon after the failed Bolshevik's attempt to establish the Soviet power in the city. The united session of councils adopted the Bolshevik resolution about the congress on 17 November [O.S. 4 November] 1917 (next day). On 24 November [O.S. 11 November] 1917 the same resolution was adopted by the Kharkiv council of workers' and soldiers' deputies, also on the proposition of Bolsheviks. The proposition of the Kiev Bolsheviks supported the Central Committee of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (bolsheviks) and the government of Soviet Russia.
