Background
editOn November 30, 1917, propaganda spread in Odesa about the disarmament of the workers' Red Guard, created by the local Bolsheviks, by Ukrainian Troops . On the same day, 300 Red Guards seized the Odesa train station and the garage of the troops of the Ukrainian People's Republic with 40 armored cars. The rebels tried to involve neutral Serbian units stationed in Odesa for the war on the Romanian front in the uprising. The speech was supported by sailors from the «Almaz» cruiser, where the headquarters of the rebels was located. An attempt was made to capture the headquarters of the Odessa Military District and the Odesa Council.[1]
In order to counter the Bolshevik uprisings, the Odesa Council recruited the Haydamak detachments . For two days, they fought with the Red Guards in the city center, as well as in the area of the station and district headquarters. Haydamaks prevented the rebels from taking control of the strategic objects of Odesa. As a result, on December 1 1917 both sides signed an peace treaty. For reconciliation, a Temporary Joint Committee of Councils was created with the participation of the Odessa Bolshevik Council and the Odessa Ukrainian Council - 3 representatives from each. The Provisional Revolutionary Bureau was also formed from representatives of Rumcherod, the Odesa District headquarters, the Ukrainian Council, and the Commissioner of the Provisional Government.[1]
Subsequently, the troops of the Ukrainian People's Republic brought under their control all important objects of Odesa.
