The Hutsul Republic (Ukrainian: Гуцульська Республіка, romanizedHuculśka Respublika) was a short-lived state formed in the aftermath of World War I. Inhabited by Hutsuls, the republic was declared on 8 January 1919, when original plans to unite this area with the West Ukrainian People's Republic failed and the territory was occupied by Hungarian police.[1]
