Answer 1

Prior to the revolutionary events of 1917 a large part of the region's élite population adopted a Little Russian identity which competed with the local Ukrainian identity. After the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917, and with the amalgamation of Ukrainian territories into one administrative unit (the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic) the word was phased[by whom?] out of circulation and when used took on a derogatory connotation denoting those Ukrainians with little or no Ukrainian national consciousness.
