The Trypillian Incident also known as the Trypillian tragedy (Russian:Трипольская трагедия) occurred in the summer of 1919 between Ukrainian anti-Bolshevik forces and the Bolshevik Kiev garrison.

Background

A couple of months earlier, the Red Army captured Kiev during the Soviet westward offensive. After that, many Ukrainians were unhappy with the Soviet occupation, which ultimately culminated in an armed uprising 50 km from Kiev.

The incident

On June 28, 1919, a Bolshevik unit was sent to Trypillia to liquidate one of the largest gangs of anti-communists near Kiev. A group of 1,500 soldiers was deployed and began clashing with the anti-Bolshevik forces. The Bolsheviks were defeated, and hundreds of Soviet soldiers were massacred, with only a few escaping. The Bolsheviks tried once again and were able to surround Trypillia, where most of the force was located. The force was liquidated on July 25.

In media

The movie The Trypillia Tragedy (Трипольская трагедия) was filmed in 1926 based on the events of the clash.
