Greater Ukraine (Ukrainian: Велика Україна) is an ideal future independent New Ukraine of Ukrainian historian Mykhailo Hrushevsky, which he conceived somewhere in 1919. Hrushevsky's future ideal state would be free and independent, and also great, but not by the territory, but by social and moral values, "high" science and culture, democratic freedoms, socialism, and national agreement, where Ukrainians would co-exist together with other nations, which could have national autonomies. The base of the state would be peasants, and it would have an "adorable" army.[1][2][3]
