History
Creation
Already in the summer of 1917, Vasily Shulgin and his associates led the struggle against the struggle, with the "Ukrainian-independent" - supporters of the independence of Ukraine. At the disposal of Shulgin and his group was the only press organ - the newspaper "Kievlyanin" . In this regard, somewhere at the end of 1917, it was decided to issue a specialized publication that would make it possible to more clearly state the position of the “Bogdanovites” on the “Ukrainian issue ” - as Shulgin called his supporters, adhering to the principles of Ukraine’s unity with Russia. Who exactly owned the idea of publishing the magazine is unclear [2] .
Initially, Vasily Shulgin planned to publish a monthly magazine in Kiev , but then the format of the publication was transformed and the magazine became a periodical collection. Its publisher was “Mutual Partnership”. The stated purpose of the publication was not propaganda, but enlightenment - “the scientific and historical defense of the cultural and national unity of the Russian people and Russian culture in Little Russia” [1] and, thus, directed against Ukrainian separatism [2] .
Throughout 1918 , before Shulgin left for the Don , three collections were published. The issue of collections was complicated by the general situation of the civil war in Ukraine - so, having occupied Kiev on January 27, 1918 , the Red Army looted the editorial office and the office of Little Russia, and they took not only money, but also editorial materials [2] .
First Edition
The first (main) issue, which was prepared for publication by mid-January 1918 , but due to the capture of Kiev by the Bolsheviks could appear after the restoration of the power of the Central Council , contained articles on general issues of defining and using the concept of Little Russia, geography and the economy of South Of Russia. In a programmatic article, Shulgin wrote: “... we declared ourselves a“ sovereign power ”and with this empty phrase I deprived our people of the vast land stock in the East that was at their disposal. And this at a time when we opened the doors wide from the West"Cultural traders" who will cruelly squeeze us on the "free, independent, sovereign Ukraine"! Here are the fruits of hopeless ignorance ... Let there be light over the dark, deceived, people - let there be light over the unfortunate, lost, betrayed on the mountain and humiliation Little Russia " [2] .
The “Encyclopedia of the History of Ukraine” in 6 volumes defines the most important articles of the first (main) issue of the collection:
- Shulgin V.V. Little Russia // Ed. V. Shulgin. Little Russia. : collection. - Kiev: Mutual partnership, 1918. - Issue. 1 . - S. 3-8 .

Second Edition
The second issue turned out to be thematic and was dedicated to the victims of the Bolsheviks in Kiev (the thematic name of this collection: “The war of Ukrainians with the Bolsheviks: November 1, 1917 - February 17, 1918”). It also published the memoirs of the secretary Shulgin Daria Vasilyevna Danilevskaya about the night she had lived on the eve of the capture of the city by the Bolsheviks [2] .
